Our Why
Building on over
60 years of service
Silverfern’s owner, Michael, was brought up watching his dad run his refrigeration company where he consistently provided reliable service to top restaurants in Vancouver and Whistler.
He was proud that his company was built upon trust and quality service. To this day, many of his former clients consider him a friend and an integral part of their business as he continues to take care of issues others may not fully resolve for them - at 87 years old!
”I built Silverfern with my dad's example in mind: ensuring a trusting relationship as a foundation, while delivering expertise rooted in a balance of education and practical know-how.” - Michael Dowling
As a Professional Engineer with over 15 years of hands-on experience, Michael leads his team with a focus that goes beyond merely resolving problems as they arise - they aim to educate each of client on the impact of potential issues or opportunities they see for their property and assets.
“I will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear as I hold my clients' interests as a top priority. I am committed to your complete satisfaction and long-term success so I can continue to build on a family tradition of providing quality service for over 60 years.”
