My family has used Bowen Contracting Inc for multiple jobs over the past few years. He installed a deck a few years ago that continues to look phenomenal. This year we had Jeff and his team remodel multiple rooms, install a kitchen window cutout, install flooring, and install a new front door. All of his work looked incredible and he is always communicative throughout the process. His prices are fair given the high quality of work that is received. We would highly recommend Bowen Contracting Inc for any of your remodeling needs!

I had Bowen contracting help me finish my basement and add a bathroom. Jeff is the best of the best and did a great job. I thought we were going to run into a few problems with changing the plumbing however it was completed with no issues at all!

Bowen construction installed a deck, added an energy star sliding door, moved vents, performed plumbing repairs so my kitchen pipes would not freeze, added light and outlets and moved my interior dining table light. All work was excellent quality and his quote was 1/3 the cost of any other contractor. When I need more work I will be utilizing his services. Highly responsive to any text or call. I am so happy with my deck!! And he beat out the next closest contractor by over 10k.

We had to remove wrought iron railings from our front porch that were severely rusted. We called many contractors and couldn't get anyone to come out. We found Bowen, they came out right away to give an estimate that was completely reasonable. We had brand new porch railings within the next 3 days and it looks absolutely amazing! They did an amazing job! Our neighbors are so jealous!

Mr. Bowen and his team were professional and pleasant to work with. Mr. Bowen’s advice in design and selecting materials was useful and honest. The build was high quality. The final inspection yielded compliments on the construction, confirming I selected the right professional for my deck. Mr. Bowen and his team answered all my questions thoroughly during the process. My friends’ and neighbors’ reactions are a resounding “Wow”.

Estimate matched final billing. Reasonable costs and variety of options to select from . When you share ideas and example pictures with Jeff he is always able to execute on your vision. The gentleman that are part of Jeff’s team are professional, on time, ensure that the work area is cleaned up, and orderly when your job is done. This is my second time contracting with them, I will use them again for my next project!

Jeff came out and provided us with an estimate to replace the deck in our new home. He was on time, helped with the design and gave us a fair price. His crew arrived when promised and stayed on the job continually until completed. We highly recommend his services and love our new deck.

Unlike other reviews, our experience with Jeff Bowen @ Bowen Contracting left us very frustrated and disappointed due to 4 months of never showing up to build a deck, lots of broken promises, lack of truthfulness and finally when we lost trust in Jeff and felt he longer had integrity as a contractor. Jeff is a contractor who over-promises and under delivers- and I would stay away from him unless he could commit to a schedule and finish date that included penalty clauses for unintended delays. For us we signed a contract with Jeff on 11/4 to build a simple 14x20 deck, paid Jeff his $500 scheduling fee and even provided our credit card number so he could purchase materials and expedite the delivery process. Over the course of 4 months, we were informed by Jeff that materials were ordered, then would be ordered, then again they were ordered (even though my credit card was never charged). We stressed the urgency to him to order materials due to possible covid lead times or the possibility of items being discontinued, to no avails. We asked Jeff to pour footings before the temps dropped and he kept promising to come out "tomorrow" or "next week", but he was always a no-show with no follow-up about why he/his team never arrived on site. After 4 months of delays, the final straw was Jeff sent us a text saying- I have "good news, bad news". The bad news was even though Jeff informed us materials were ordered, he never ordered anything.... not deck boards, rails, lattice... anything. We were told, if you want work started, we would have to pay we pay an add'l $2,400 over the signed contract (or really $2,900 over the all cash alternative) due to material prices increasing. We asked for material quotes from before and after and got silence. Since the delays in ordering materials were not ours, we informed Jeff that we would be enforcing the contract rate and his response was he could not do the work for us at that price. If a contractor has you sign his legal contract, and doesn't honor his side- he's lost all his integrity. I'm sure if we called him up and said- hey Jeff, we have good new bad news- and the bad news is we're going to pay you $14,000 instead of $16,000- that wouldn't fly with him and he would enforce the contract on us. Due to zero work being performed at our home in nearly 4 months, we had to contact Angie's List to initiate the contractor complaint process, as well as, terminate our contract and provide legal notice to Jeff/Bowen Contracting that he was in Breach of Contract. Today, we finally received back our demand for full refund ($500 scheduling fee) for a job that was never scheduled. Jeff may be a nice guy, but buyer beware. Jeff is not a man of his word and gives you the run-around and that is going to be his downfall in business.
Response from Bowen Contracting Inc

"We want all our customers to be completely satisfied with the work that we do for them. sorry that we were not entirely successful in your case. The pandemic created challenges that could not be foreseen such as much material shortages and unprecedented price increases. In your case we could not initially obtain the custom decking that you ordered. By the time it was available the price of that material had increased by over $2,000. We really had no choice but to pass along that cost to you. Many other businesses have had to increase their prices in a similar manner. airlines now charge a fuel price surcharge and Uber recently added to charge to cover the huge increase in their gas cost."

Working with Jeff and his team was great! They were able to build our beautiful deck to our specifications despite weather and staffing issues due to COVID. Price was very fair and less than other quotes we had gotten. All of the guys on the site were very friendly and respectful of our property. Would absolutely hire again!

Jeff Bowen and his workers constructed a beautiful deck. I watched the entire construction. The work was meticulously done and attention to detail was evident. The men worked together harmoniously like a well oiled machine using the highest quality materials. They cleaned the deck and the worksite when they were done. The men were professional, courteous and friendly. I would hire them in a minute. I now have the deck of my dreams.
