We have used Bowerman for our kitchen renovation and spent thousands to fulfil a dream of having Bowerman cabinetry in our home. It's been disappointing from start to finish. No quality craftsmanship. No service. No customer satisfaction. No ownership. What was once a dream has turned into a nightmare. As we are building our new home, we will not use Bowerman again.

Over the past 17 years we've had Bowerman's build us several pieces of large (and smaller) custom furniture as well as custom accent millwork for our kitchen. Tremendous attention to every little detail, very caring about our needs, timeless product and best of all, everything they've done for us is rock solid to this day. We enjoy outstanding quality and with Bowerman's we get it - big time. Strongly recommend.

I Have worked with Rick and his guys on many project as a General Contractor. In this time they have worked with us on $10+ million dollar homes down to $800,000 Spec homes. Regardless of their contract size their work is always great and they approach the project with the same level of professionalism and workmanship. I recommend them to all of our clients who are looking for high end custom millwork. If you want something really nice give them a call.

We really appreciated how detailed they were in double checking all the appliance measurements and installation requirements and adapting the design as required. We have now been living and using this kitchen for
