My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

We hired Bowers Design Build to turn our unfinished basement into a beautiful and functional living space that includes a bedroom, accessible bathroom and kitchen w/ living room area. We reached out to Bowers Design about their other multi-generational projects as we wanted to move our parent in with us to age in place comfortably and safely. We were impressed with everyone on their team from their designers and architects to the construction management team. All the way to the President of the company that was engaged the entire time. They were very detailed oriented and there were no surprises with the daily progression of the project from start to finish (finished in the timeframe they promised) or costs (we paid what we agreed to upfront with no surprise change orders)! We would use them again without question and highly recommend them.

We selected BDB for a new kitchen, powder room, laundry room, mudroom, hall bath, primary bath, primary walk-in closet, and screened in porch. Everyone we worked with was professional and knowledgeable. We were very satisfied with their architecture plans and design suggestions. Their cabinetry is superb and overall workmanship was top notch. Our pleasant and friendly on site manager was on site every morning (on time) and managed all the subs-contractors, so we could go about our busy lives. Several years after completion, a ceiling leak developed. BDB was out that very day to stop the leak and dry out the attic. They repaired the damage to our bathroom ceiling (to include installing new insulation) and replaced the ruined light fixture with the exact model as it was still available. As they determined the leak was from a vent not properly installed during our remodel, all repair was done with no charge to us. BDB stood by their work. Highly recommend and would engage them again for a home project.

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!

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.

We are especially grateful that you hired us more than once and will ALWAYS be there to support you in anything you need home related...no matter how big or small. All the best-Wilma

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.

All the best-Wilma Bowers

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.
