About us

Let me introduce myself. My name is Bill Schmitt and I am the owner of Bowie Home Improvements Inc. We are a small, full service home improvement company that specializes in the installation of select custom kitchens and bathrooms. We also perform any type of general renovation and home improvements including additions, basements, decks, porches, sun room, screen porches and structural work. I relocated my business from New York to Maryland and I have been a professional home improvement contractor for over 27 years. Bowie Home Improvements Inc. was started in January of 1987. When I relocated my business I decided to keep things small. In New York my company had on average from 10 to 15 employees. The reason I decided to stay small was so that every client would benefit from my personal involvement on every project. I found that my clients were much happier with this approach. This approach worked so well that most of my business has been from referrals since 1995, we do little advertising. Being a small company I can offer you rapid pricing on any project you may have. Immediate contact with me is always available via my personal cell phone as I understand how important that is to you. I am an expert at project problem solving and installation. My team is able to perform structural, electrical, plumbing, ceramic tile, trim, cabinets, custom modifications and much more. My pricing is competitive and I believe I am very easy to work with. If you are looking for professional design, installation and construction for any of your projects, feel free to give me a call. I would be happy to meet with you and answer any questions you may have .

Description of Work: Bathroom tile re-grouting. Contractor did small spot grout repairs. I had thought the service included re-grouting the entire bathroom floor. The advertisement should have been more clear.

[Member Name Removed], I am sorry you misunderstood the deal. It was 3 hours of bathroom grout restoration for $99.00. No one could grout an entire bathroom in 3 hours. The promotion was for touch up only.

Description of Work: Provided a list of small items to take care of around the house |- Replace doorbell (completed. However only worked for 2 weeks) |- Mailbox repair Not completed |- Replace Microwave light (was this even really as task) |- Install closet organizer system (paid for 2 guys for 4 hours on Angies list. Home Depot estimates 2 WOMAN can do this in 4 hours. However I paid for 8 hours of Handyman work from 2 alleged HANDYMEN? Upon further review the closet was installed backwards which makes the clothes hang very awkward in the closet) Closet is not a walk in. One wall 56" long. |- Repair Garbage disposal (flipped switch twice and told me I need a new one?) | |The guys that came out were 2 young guys. No complaints with the guys per say as I think this is just the company structure to sell Handy Man services from not overly qualified staff that will result in more hours required and poor quality. | |The company did not call to see if I was satisfied with the services performed. Nor did I call to complain. |

Response from Bowie Home Improvement Inc
Am sorry you are unhappy with the work we did for you. You had two men work on a list for 7-1/2 hours doing various things for you. This is 15 man hours of time. The cost was respectively minimal for plumbing and electrical work. We made the appointment when you requested and my crew was available. You did not contact me to let me know you were unhappy with anything. You provided the materials so if the doorbell failed after two weeks, its a material failure. We have had 99% positive reviews. Not sure where your review reflects the actual facts. Once again, I am sorry. If you would like to get another door bell, I will be happy to send one of the guys to switch it out at no cost.

Description of Work: They offered really great prices, but quality of work/materials was lacking (hence the great price). I wanted to work with them because of the reviews...however no such luck for me. Let me start with the good...i wanted crown molding added and it was phenomenally completed and so was one door frame. The contractor even got some of the spackle from a previous hack job (not BHI) off my brand new cabinets. |I wanted the front of my kitchen door framed. They simply added the frame. No smoothing or sanding of the previous material. One side of frame is cut above the base molding, therefore not creating a uniform look throughout the kitchen. The material for my cabinet that I provided for them to use was completely demolished. More than enough was provided, but I can even use the remainder. I had them add a ceiling cap and it was sloppily placed. I also had a floor border placed to separate the kitchen from the dining area. The border wasn't supported properly, hence it broken in two weeks. In addition, the flimsy wood they used, you can tell they only applied one coat of stain when it clearly needs two along with a sealant. I've attempted to contact them, but no response.

We never did this work. We did give a price for the work. I am not quite sure what the issue is. We strive to be competitive and our small team of experts receive pay and benefits equal to the quality of their work. You can always find the cheaper guy, but is that what you want for you home?

It was very good. The scheduling worked really well and they were able to accommodate some special requests of ours. The work was all done to a very high degree of craftsmanship. We had to push a little harder to get them to use some lower cost materials providers so that took a little extra effort on our part to get them to be more competitive pricewise but in the end, they accommodated all of our requests so it worked out.

Bowie Home Improvement was recommended to me by a neighbor. One of the main reasons I chose Bowie Home Improvement is while the owner was visiting my property to assess the work to be done, he offered alternative solutions to what I had in mind and pointed out issues that I would have to be prepared for. For instance, I thought I wanted a 5 foot wall removed. Bill explained all of the contingencies - like we wouldn't know if the wall was load bearing until demolition started - and what to do if it was - and how the existing wood flooring would be patched. He suggested making the wall a 1/2 wall, etc. He was willing to do the work, just wanted to manage my expectations. The other sales reps I interviewed for the job seemed to be "yes" men to whatever I wanted without explaining the surprises we may find along the way. Thanks to Bill's input I made an educated decision to leave the wall untouched. Work took 2 days to complete. Men arrived on time and quickly prepared the work areas to protect my property. Workers sought my input at decision points rather than assuming what I wanted. They left the house as clean as when they arrived. Workmen were professional, personable and knowledgeable. Our contract called for me to do patching after a light fixture was moved. But they did the patch work at no extra charge I rated the price B because it was a little higher than the other estimates I got. But I was willing to pay the premium to work with someone I trusted.
Description of Work: Built a kitchen pantry. Replaced a toilet. Installed light fixtures and other smaller tasks.

Work was good but slow. Workers started about 8-8:30am and stopped most days at 2:00pm. Although there were several rain days, work could have been done before or after.
