Bowers Design Build

We would not have attempted to complete our project with any other firm than Bowers Design Build. Bowers checked off every box on our list - great customer service, detailed project timelines, detailed selection lists, up-front pricing, skilled staff, attention to detail, and on and on. The Bowers team worked with us to ensure the addition to our nearly 100 year-old home met our needs while maintaining the look and feel of the existing structure and the neighborhood. We have been living in our house for almost 14 years and there is nothing we wish we had done differently or that we would change. Bowers continues to support us by completing general home maintenance tasks or by referring us to trusted subcontractors - which takes all the guess work and worry away. We highly recommend Bowers Design Build!

We hired Bowers Design Build to renovate our basement to create a modern laundry area, home gym/TV room and various sized closets for storage, and to complete other miscellaneous work. The project was completed on time and within budget. Through the design, contract and building phases, we found the Bowers team to be very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. We were especially pleased with the site manager whose expertise helped create a high quality, versatile, new living space for our family.

We hired Bowers Design Build to expand our living room. From the first meeting through the completion of the job, they were extremely professional and knowledgeable. Although I had a general idea what I wanted, they made great suggestions to improve the design. The quality of work performed was outstanding! With a very tight schedule, I was very impressed that they were able to meet the schedule. They were also right on target with the budget. We love the new addition!

We had a very smooth remodel. Good communication. Good problem solving. Always felt our needs and desires were paramount. Both our kitchen and bathroom are beautiful now.

Bowers Design Build remodeled my kitchen, master bathroom, added a new entrance to our house, screened in porch, and a laundry room upstairs. They are very professional. They are a design build firm, so we worked with them through the design and construction process. Bowers ensured that the design and construction turned out great! The onsite team was managed by Bowers and they made sure everyone was professional and things were completed on time. Even post-construction there were some issues, but Bowers would come by and help solve these issues. I would definitely recommend the company to anyone looking for any design-build firm!

Bowers is fantastic from start to finish. We have now used them twice, once for a complete kitchen remodel, and the second time, just last year, for an addition of a family room, new master bedroom, new master bath, and a new deck. The quality of their work, their eyes for detail, and their ideas for how to give you what you are looking for in a remodel are all superb. As just one example, our house is a split foyer and we had always been perturbed by the fact that traffic got all jammed up by the front door because once you came in the house, you immediately had to go upstairs or down. Either that or stand outside in the cold and rain. We didn't know what to do about it, but we wanted a fix. Bruce Bowers took one look at it and said "well, you could move the stairs." Really? That's what they did and it looks great and solved our problems. Then, Larry built us a bookcase under the stairs that looks like it is built into the wall but opens to reveal a storage area under the new stairs. Very clever. We love our new house. The new family room, bedroom and master bath look wonderful and are exactly what we wanted. I can't recommend Bowers highly enough.

I had a full kitchen and laundry room remodel done by Bowers Design Build. Everything was finished on time. They were very professional. Bowers Design Build does everything in-house and do the work themselves, they don't subcontract out their work. They are on the expensive side, so be prepared for that! But, you save a lot of hassle because they take care of everything. I would definitely recommend the company to anyone who is doing a major house remodeling project.

Bowers Design Build completed the job on time and within estimated budget. We have young children in the home and were always comfortable with the Bowers staff and subcontractors. As with any renovation and/or addition, there were unforeseen issues during construction. Bowers worked with us to resolve any issues to our mutual satisfaction.

From the start of the process, Bowers was exceptional. As an Architect/Project Manager it was refreshing to work with a firm from conception to completion without a hitch. Bowers came to my property and looked over existing conditions, discussed a solution how to realize what we desired (conversion of an ensuite seating area into 5 fixture luxury bathroom with underfloor heating including two walkin his and hers closets). The entire process was seamless and fluid. The actually came in on time and everything was finished to the highest standards. I have no hesitation in recommending Bowers for any residential construction project.

We hired Bowers to create a new bathroom and remodel two other bathrooms. It was quite an extensive project that required gutting the center part of our house. The team was always available for questions. Ed supervised the subcontractors and was a meticulous carpenter. The team was great to work with.

Bowers Design Build is more than a reputable and professional general contractor- they are a trust advisor and community leaders. I learned of their work through several neighbors who hired Bowers for various home improvement projects mostly involving involving significant renovation. We needed our basement to be finished and remodeled and Bowers exceeded expectation in all aspects. Every aspect of working with Bowers was positive, and key things in particular stand out: Their carpentry, sense for design practicality and their business infrastructure/ project management. Bower designed and build gorgeous custom built in bookshelves. The bookshelves welcomed all who entered the basement and made a design statement immediately. The shelving accomodated coffee table books as well as smaller ones, pictures and memorabilia-- all because the carpenter knew the questions to ask and helped us think through the myriad of design and useage issues before any design was finalized. Bowers helped with bathroom and bedroom design. They ensured the bedroom met local standards so that when we sold our home, the room was indeed a full 5th bedroom, complete with three custom closets and a pocket door access to the media center. The media center- also a custom cabinet marvel allows us to showcase a 55inch HDTV with custom shelving to place surround sound speakers, VCR, DVD player etc. They created space behind the large screen TV so that cables, surge protection equipment and other boxes could be stored. They created additional storage for games, and books as well Visually the media center was gorgeous and balanced as well. Bowers was on time and within budget. They have a business office and process infrastructure that worked with us every step of the way ensuring that the invoicing and billing was accurate. Any discrepancies or minor disagreements were dealt with professionally and promptly. We loved our basement. It not only was beautiful, it was functional as well and played a huge role in increasing the sales value of our home when we sold it in 2013. I would recommend Bowers design Build to any and everyone. I have since moved away from the area and wish I could have taken Bowers with me.

We had a great experience working with Bowers design to have our house remodeled. Our project was relatively vast in scope and the project came through basically on budget, weeks ahead of schedule, and with no lingering issues having cropped up almost a year later. Bowers was not the cheapest quote that we received, but they provided the most comprehensive services for the project and delivered what they promised on a major project (ahead of schedule) leaving us feeling that we got what we paid for. We decided to go with Bowers because we were doing a major remodel that would require us to make a lot of decisions--including finding a rental house while it was underway--but we have young children, both work, and wanted someone to help guide us through the process. Bowers provided the most comprehensive option on this front, with helpful discussions during the design phase, a series of thorough inspections of the house pre-construction to avoid problems down the line, a useful outline of when decisions needed to be made for a variety of things, assistance in figuring out how to make those decisions within the confines we wanted (and without pressure to go in the direction they wanted, but actual help to go in the direction we wanted), and a dedicated site manager to ensure the project stayed on time and on budget (thanks Larry!). All in all, our major house remodel came out how we wanted and 7 weeks ahead of schedule (over winter). We would (and have) recommend Bowers without reservation.
