Here are ten reasons why we are the best.

Why Bowers Is a Cut Above The Benefit to You
WE LISTEN! Because Bowers focuses on the entire customer experience, we have established a reputation for great design, fine construction and unmatched customer service. In addition, our clients tell us that they feel respected throughout the entire process. That’s why more than 70% of our clients are referrals from previous, satisfied clients and at any given time, many of our clients are repeat customers.
WE HAVE EXCEPTIONAL DESIGN SOLUTIONS! Bruce Bowers leads our design team. The team excels in creating beautiful spaces that best meet customer’s desires, but are also practical and create value in your home. You will NEVER invest time and energy in designing a project that never gets built because it is over budget. Here’s why. Since we have done extensive building projects for more than 15 years, we know the general costs of projects based on scope and scale. Throughout the design process, we meet with you to determine if what is being designed meets your needs AND your budget. Making trade offs in the design process is common so that in the end, we’ve designed a project that meets your needs, you love AND fits your budget.
WE WORRY ABOUT THE DETAILS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO! Any construction project is filled with details, but with Bowers, it will not be filled with surprises. We provide you with a customized, detailed budget and project timeline developed in MS Project software and discuss the details up front. You will have peace of mind that your personal Site Manager is in control of your project 24 X 7. Your Site Manager manages the numerous subcontractors and suppliers necessary for a project’s success. You never have to worry about the day to day details because we’ve got it covered. We keep you informed and give you ample opportunity to provide input and feedback.
YOUR PERSONAL PROJECT DEVELOPER HELPS YOU WITH THE WIDE VARIETY OF PRODUCTS AVAILABLE FROM LIGHTING TO PLUMBING TO WINDOWS AND HARDWARE! In addition to your Site Manager, your personal Bowers Project Developer meets with you several times to help guide you through the product selection process. There are hundreds of product choices in the market. Our Project Developer helps you to narrow choices based on price and product quality and assists in product selections so that the product selection process is simpler and you avoid product availability delays.
WE ARE GUESTS IN YOUR HOME! Our team is filled with courteous professionals. One of the ways we ensure high customer satisfaction is by requiring each employee and subcontractor to abide by the Bowers Team Rules. These guiding principles provide a model for the professionalism we expect and are part of our Company Policy Employee Handbook. Click here to read the Bowers Team Rules.
WE MANAGE ALL OUR OWN CARPENTRY WITH ONE OF THE BEST CARPENTRY CREWS IN THE BUSINESS! We excel in both framing and finish carpentry. In fact, many of our carpenters are furniture makers. With Bowers’ carpentry crews, you are guaranteed the highest quality structural integrity and finishes. These important details make all the difference in the lasting beauty and functionality of your home.
WE HAVE A STRONG MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT CARES! The Bowers leadership team meets formally at least once a week to review the status of your project and develop action plans to do things better, more efficiently, and in a timely manner. Click here for a profile of our management team.
WE HAVE A SUPERIOR STABLE OF SUPPLIERS! While we believe in managing our own carpentry, we also have strong relationships with tradesmen, product showrooms, subcontractors, interior designers, and construction financiers. Our management of these relationships allows you to benefit from our time-tested assessment of these suppliers.
WE ARE AN INDUSTRY LEADER! Winning national awards for our work has been great (Click here to see our Awards), but we are also considered industry leaders through our involvement in the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and our frequent contributions to local media coverage of remodeling. We have been featured in the Washington Post, Washingtonian, Elan, Sun Gazette, and Home and Design magazine numerous times and interviewed by NBC Channel 4. We continue to be contacted as an expert source for the building industry. You can rest assured that we are up to date on the latest design elements and the most innovative construction products and techniques.
WE MAKE SURE YOU ARE A SATISFIED CUSTOMER FOR LIFE! We offer all customers a two-year warranty on all work performed. However, beyond the warranty, we want you to be happy with your Bowers experience, forever. So, long after the project is done, we will be there for you. We once had a client who had a tree come down in a storm in the middle of the night. Even though their project had been completed for over a year, Bowers was there within hours to help the client, making the situation safe until the repairs could take place. That’s the kind of dedication we have for maintaining long-term relationships. That’s why so many of our customers are repeat customers. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Above all, we make sure that you have the best remodel experience possible and you will LOVE YOUR HOUSE when the project is done.
