Tom Silva grew up with a hammer in his hand. He started as a child working alongside his dad. They lived in a 1787 colonial home in Lexington, which was in constant need of work. His father had Tom helping him on weekends, and Tom loved the work so much that he knew he wanted to continue in the family business.In the mid-1970s, Tom and his father were building a set for a PBS show, The Victory Garden. The director of that show was so impressed with their work that he asked Tom to be the general contractor for a new show that he was going to do, This Old House. Tom has been doing that show now for over 25 years. His unrivaled knowledge and reputation have made him a foremost authority on every aspect of home improvement and repair.
