Why Choose Bowers?

Our on-staff architects and designers develop customized designs while working with our on-staff cost estimator to make sure that what we design is priced realistically for the level of finishes you expect. This reduces the need for “change orders” that can increase the cost of a project during construction. The latter is a common practice with some builders. The price they give you up front may seem very reasonable, but the price may continually go up during the project with requests for additional money for things that were not anticipated in the planning up front.

On-staff product selection assistance helps you sort through the hundreds of product options for your project. We discovered several years ago that it is to your advantage to have a seasoned professional help you navigate through the myriad of product selections and help you narrow choices effectively. It also helps us because product decisions can be made more efficiently and we can keep our time commitments to you.

Detailed design plans and detailed construction contracts make sure that you have no monetary surprises during construction. The only contract price changes you’ll experience during construction are changes you decide to make.*

We deal with all of the detailed permitting processes for construction and mechanical permits that are required for a safe project and county/city approval. We manage the sometimes complicated process within area governments, including Public Health and land use issues.

You will be assigned a personal site manager. This site manager manages your project and your project alone, for the duration of the project. This means you will never have to deal with managing a subcontractor yourself. It is our job to make sure the subcontractor knows what to do, has all the materials needed for the job and respects the Bowers rules-attached.

Your site manager, and the whole Bowers team, is available to you 24X7. We are only a phone call away.

We have on-staff carpenters so that we can guarantee the quality of work on your project. The longevity of a problem free construction project is largely within the quality of the carpentry.

We hire subcontractors/tradesmen (plumbers, masons, etc.) that pass our high quality standards. Most of our subcontractors have worked with us for many years and have a proven track record with us.

We clean the project site EVERY DAY to keep the dirt and dust to a controllable level and keep your project safe for your family, your pets and your neighbors. This can make a huge difference if you are living in your home during construction. Dust and construction debris needs to be controlled daily to reduce the negative effect on the rest of your home.

When construction is complete, we do a thorough “walk-through” with you to make sure you are completely satisfied. We are not done until every aspect of your project meets our standards and yours.

After construction, we professionally clean your entire home, even the parts that we didn’t work on. We also have resources to help you move furniture and hang window treatments and art work. All of this is intended to help you start to enjoy your new space as soon as possible.

After construction, we offer you a full one year warranty on all work conducted. However, long after one year, we are always there for you. We are just a phone call away! All Bowers’ clients have our commitment to service for life, even if it’s not associated with the work we did on your home.

At the end of the project, we will give you a binder, complete with all your product selections, paint colors, and product instruction booklets. This reference book is an invaluable tool as you maintain your home in the future.

We contact you at the end of year one and year two, post your project completion, to make sure you are still thrilled with your project and that you don’t need our help on any home issues.

* We do our best to help you envision all the different aspects of your project in advance of construction. However, it is not uncommon for a client to want to make changes once construction has started. We do our best to accommodate those changes within the scope of the contract. Our construction experts can assess the changes and make recommendations for achieving your goals in the most effective manner, often within the scope of the contract price. If additional costs are incurred due to changes you decide to make, we make sure you know the costs before we make the changes, giving you an opportunity to weigh the cost benefits of your choices. No surprises.
