Testimonials

My husband and I would like to thank John for the excellent job building our home. John along with his staff was very professional and courteous. They kept us in the loop during the entire process of building our home. Someone from John's staff called me or my husband on a weekly basis to let us know how the process was going.

John and his staff were very responsive and answered all of our questions in detail. Bo was wonderful and very patient. In changed my mind at least five times at each appointment with had with Bo, whether it choosing the color of the walls, the color of the trim, or the type of cabinets we wanted. Bo never got frustrated and never pressured me to hurry and make a decision. He allowed us to take our time to ensure we had picked the perfect colors for our new home. Bo's comment was "Our job is to make sure you get what you want and that you are happy."

Job well done!! John D. Bowen Construction (JDB) exceeded our expectations and we are very happy with our new home.

P.S. Thank you for the excellent customer service you provided us after we closed and a special thanks to Bo for being so patient.

We recommend JDB to anyone who is building a new home.

My wife and I have engaged John Bowen Construction twice, both times as General Contractor. The first occasion was to build a separate garage/apartment on our property. The finished building is a two and a half car garage with an attached shop and a 900 square foot two bedroom apartment. The second was a complex kitchen renovation that included removing and relocating walls, relocating the main electrical breaker box, pouring secondary slabs to level the floor and relocating the laundry room. In both cases we have been very pleased with the results.

Acting as general contractor, John Bowen was faithful to the vision that we had for both of these projects. John took the plans we had developed, and after careful consideration of our needs, he adopted everything that was good in the plans and clearly and patiently explained to us what changes had to be made to ensure a quality outcome.

During the construction, John carefully coordinated the subcontractors to ensure that the work flowed smoothly from start to finish. In addition, he frequently inspected the jobs and, if the work was subpar or not according to the plans, he made or had the necessary changes made to remedy the problem.

After working with John Bowen on both of these occasions, I would not hesitate to recommend John Bowen Construction to my friends and family for whatever construction work they need done. He is a consummate professional who ensures the highest quality workmanship in each of his projects.

A pleasure to work with throughout the entire building process, John D. Bowen Construction provided professional and courtesy service leading us step by step to complete our dream home. At times building a custom home can be frustrating and can seem like it will never come to completion. JDB’s utilization of their “Alpha Contract” early in the building process to pinpoint our preferences from lighting to time designs to flooring sped up and simplified the later stages for a more rapid build and earlier completion. Everyone working for JDB Construction ensured that we were satisfied with the finished house and continued to provide additional assistance as we learned the ins and outs of our custom home. The office manager, DeeNan Post, was especially easy to work with and provided answers to even the most obscure question at any time of day. Being military and building the house prior to our PCS to Texas, JDB was able to work with us over the phone and required minimal oversight to meet all our expectations for the house. We highly recommend John D. Bowen Construction to anyone desiring a quality, affordable, custom home built by courteous professionals.

Mr. Bowen and Company,

Dianne and I would like to express our appreciation for the outstanding and professional work on the addition to our home. Your teams of subcontractor's performance was superb. The attention to details; from the perfect match of the brick work to the texture and painting was great.

Although we did encounter several problems; through aggressive and timely team work, these were corrected. Perhaps above all, the attention to detail that you provide on a day to day basis to your people was the key to the excellent and timely completion of the project.

It should also be noted that Dustin stayed on top of the contractors on a daily basis and kept me and my wife informed.

Finally, thanks for a job well done; ahead of completion date and within the expected cost.

However, we have been very pleased with our experience since the home purchase and feel very taken care of. We appreciate the quality of this home. It's obvious that great care was taken with the planning and construction of this home."

Sincerely,

We just wanted to stop and drop a far over due line to you about our home building experience with John D. Bowen, and Co.
We built with you all in 2008, and without fail, everyone that walks into our house still comments on the beauty and uniqueness of it. The home has exceeded our expectations, and the suggestions brought to us by John, Deenann , and Dustin and Bo during the design and building process have only added to it. John was very up front , returned phone calls every day , and most importantly, John , Bo, or Dustin was at our site during the building process, several times a day.
We know without a doubt, we received the very most for our money, and we have recommended him to everyone who even mentions building a home.
I can be contacted at mike@hchob.com we are very happy home owners. Thanks john and crew.
PS. A special thanks to Dustin for the outstanding service after the sale.

John D Bowen Construction built our home in 2008. My husband had interviewed several builders before I went with him on select few of second interviews. Bowen Construction was the only team with which I wanted to work. We were quite detailed in knowing what we wanted in a home. Though there were a few changes along the way. John and Deenan were great; change orders were not a problem, simply a part of the process. Our home is down right comfortable. We get asked two questions quite often: Who built your home? Is this a John Bowen home? Bowen Construction gets all thumbs up from us. We don’t plan to build again, but if ever that would be necessary…we would use Bowen Construction again. They are professional, responsive, and customer oriented.

We are extremely pleased with the work done for us by John Bowen Construction Co. We received a grant from the VA to renovate an existing bedroom and bathroom, to make them handicap-accessible. Our architect mentioned the company; we looked at Bowen’s web site, and, also found that they were on the VA list of approved builders in this area.

We were told by Mr. Bowen at the start of the project what to expect, and he was right on with his cautions and comments. As we were having our existing bedroom and bathroom renovated, John and his “man on site,” Dustin, were able to schedule the work for the project so that we could continue to use our old bedroom and old bathroom, while the construction was on-going.

The quality of the work, and the craftsmanship couldn’t be better. Bowen’s subs must be the best in this area.

The project took a little longer than expected, but I’ll trade time for craftsmanship, any time.

DeeNan was our life-line. Her knowledge of the VA, dealing with that bureaucracy, was invaluable.

As the project continued, Dustin was on site any time work was being done. John was here, at least twice weekly, checking the quality of the work. Particularly impressive was when he had the walkthrough to do a punch-list. My wife and I found 5-6 little things. John found about 20 things that he wasn’t satisfied with.
