We are very pleased with Mr. Bowden's services.
Description of Work: One of our windows developed a leak, so I called Mr. Bowden. He manner was very reasonable, and he came home on a Saturday when we would be home. He was very quick to spot the problem, cracks in the flashing, caulked them on the spot, and fixed the problem which we thought would cost much more (removal of the siding, window, etc.).

He did not quote a price before starting, but said it's more beneficial for me if he just kept track of the actual time he spent and charge me by the hour. He came several times over a period of 2 weeks. He said that since it was not a big job he would just come when he could get away from the big jobs he was doing. My husband and I were very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: Part of the siding in our backyard porch was rotting because of debris accumulation on the overhang next to it and prevented the water from draining into the gutters. Mr. Bowden had to replace the siding and paint it to match the original color. I also asked him to replace the frames of one of the windows in our garage. He also had to stain the frame to match the original stain.

I called Mr. Bowden on a Saturday morning to explain that I was in the middle of a deck/pergola project. My son, who was assisting with the project, injured his shoulder and could no longer handle the lifting of the lumber. In the middle of the explanation, Mr. Bowden simply hung up on me. No sorry. No nothing. So rude.
Description of Work: I don't usually file this type of report, but I was treated so rudely by Mr. Bowden that I felt I must. No services were performed.

Response from Bowden Home Service
Dear member, I have just read your report (05/19/09) almost a year after you posted it. I apologize to you for my alleged response to you. I do not remember it and it certainly sounds out of character for me as my standard procedure is to go as far out of my way as possible to make my customers happy. I have always felt I could not afford even one unhappy customer and I certainly would have responded sooner if I had read your report sooner. My explanation for the incident you mention is as follows: We have found it more advantageous to discontinue our phone land line and now use only cell phones. My wife says she thinks she remembers your call which came when we were on a trip in the car and lost your connection due to possible driving out of range, which you interpreted as a rude contractor hanging up on you. I do sincerely apologize and hope you will accept it as such. If you will read my other customers comments you will see I have many loyal customers, many of whom call me again and again. Please give me another chance. May God bless you! Darrell L. Bowden

Darrell quickly responded for an estimate and seemed to be confident and knowledgeable about the repair needed. His estimate was a little bit higher than another provider but since he could do it right away we gave the job to him. He did an excellent job and added some more to his estimate for other things not in his original estimate but gave us a 7% discount instead of 5%. He finished the job in 2 days as he estimated and cleaned up all the debris and mess from it. We would hire him again.
Description of Work: Part of the siding on our porch was rotting and eaten up by a squirrel who made a home for her babies. Three parts to the siding have to be replaced and painted.

I had only 2 shingles to replace on my roof that were just a little too high for my ladder. I called Darrell and told him what a small job I had to have done. Even though he usually required a minimum of a 4-hour job, he told me that he would come by the next time he was in my area and fix it. I already had the shingles for him available, so he wouldn't have to order any. He was there within two weeks.
Description of Work: He replaced a couple shingles on my roof that had blown off.

HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE FLASHING ON MY CHIMNEY WAS BAD. THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD SHOW THE SIDING CONTRACTOR HOW TO DO IT RIGHT AND THAT THERE WOULD BE NO LEAKING ON MY CHIMNEY. THE SIDING COMPANY LIKED IT SO MUCH THAT THEY ASKED FOR THE SKETCH THAT MR. BOWDEN HAD DRAWN, AS TO HOW TO DO IT.
