Recognized Excellence
Recognized Excellence - I was impressed with everyone that helped with the project. We worked with Katie, Michaela, Richard and Keith the most and I valued their input. Katie right away figured out my taste and goals and helped narrow down choices for me. That was an important aspect for me and why I chose Bowers. Keith was especially respectful of the fact we were living in the home through out the project.
Additional Comments
Additional Comments - I would say overall it was just a really good experience. They did their diligence up front so there were no surprises and they were honest about costs and budget realities. They were respectful and professional. They communicated well and followed up on any questions or concerns we had.

Areas Of Satisfaction - The company listened to our ideas and the way we live in our home. The team worked with us very closely to renovate our 1980s colonial. As a result, we have an amazing renovated home with such special touches and top notch decorating. It is a dream come true.

Bowers completed an extensive renovation of our house a number of years ago. When we have had normal maintenance or other issues come up subsequently, they have continued to be more than willing to provide advice and assistance. We continue to recommend them highly.

We worked with Bowers Design Build on a major, down to the studs, renovation and expansion of our home in North Arlington. We were delighted with the plan that arose from BDB's collaborative design process, and with their ability to take our needs and suggestions into account in their design process and turn them into aesthetically pleasing and yet practical solutions for our housing needs. During construction, they were welcoming as we made nearly daily visits to the job site, which was wonderfully reassuring to us. And they finished the job within the agreed-upon budget, successfully, and ahead of schedule, which in our experience with builders is unprecedented. We (three generations of our family, now united in a renovated two family house) are delighted with the finished product--a beautiful and imaginatively designed house that fit perfectly to our family's needs.

We hired Bowers Design Build (August 2016) 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 which included a new gas fireplace insert in our living room. 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.
Patrick M.
We were very pleased with the work and the outcome of the project. We only wondered afterwards why we waited so long to do it.
Steve S.
This was our second project with Bowers, and we were very satisfied with the process and the results. The Bowers employees are uniformly nice people to deal with. If we have another home renovation project in the future, we will likely use Bowers Design Build. Although Bowers may cost a bit more, they make a home construction project as hassle-free as possible for the customer, and that is worth a lot.
Matthew R.
Bowers is a top notch design and build company. They are creative, professional and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for remodeling or new builds.

We are thrilled with the work that was done and with our new home.
