I signed the contract for $4,300. He was a general contractor and he told me that he would do the bathroom and kitchen. He did a pathetic job. He came in, was walking at 11 o clock in the afternoon to start work and would tell me since the beginning to buy the materials at Home Depot. It’s amazing that he would go to us to go get the materials every day. We had to go to the material guys although we didn’t understand. We had to throw him out. He keeps asking for money. He took three of my payments and did not do a good job at all. He left all of the sites and me venting up with another general contractor. I just had to throw him out. He was constantly asking for money. They were talking very big, as if they were very professional but they were not at all professional. I would never recommend him nor use him again in the future. Do not go with this person. He was not at all responsive. He would not pick up phone calls. Even the work that he did, we had to push him all the time and ask if he’s going in that day, talk to him nicely and micromanage him. If he was not interested in the job and he thought it was too small. He should have just apologized and told us he could not take the job of this size.

At first Lloyd was pretty responsive, coming over right away to give a quote. He was very nice and seemed exceptionally knowledgeable about his craft. He seemed honest and upfront. He quoted a labor cost of $450 for one bookshelf and was going to assist us in ordering the materials directly. This all sounded wonderful. (I put $800 in cost of services because I assume he would have charged double for two bookshelves instead of one) However, after he came to give the quote it became almost impossible to get in touch with him. I would text his cell phone and he would not respond for days. When I finally texted him that I needed to know if I should get someone else to do the work, he basically said yes get someone else. It was a huge waste of time and delayed a lot of other work on the house. He clearly works a day job and does this work on the side after work when he has time. I can understand that can be hard to manage, but you cannot hold yourself out to be a business and then treat it like a hobby you will do when you have time. Businesses have to be somewhat reliable.

Lloyd did a great job. The project took longer than I expected, but he worked around our schedule, worked quickly and was very respectful of our space and time. The results are fantastic. You can't even tell the areas have been patched.

Lloyd came in and assessed the situation and I showed him what I needed done. He said He needed to go get some materials and he would be back. Came back an hour later with materials and some more help. In a little more than an hour, they re-grouted areas of my bathroom wall that had been cracked, re-caulked the bathtub, and patched a hole in the wall. I would say that they were able to match the grout to be very close to the original, and did a good job on the wall and tub. Was very happy, and would gladly use them again and recommend them for anyone else.

The workmen arrived ready to work. Their grout work in both bathrooms was simply outstanding! They were also friendly and they worked quickly without sacrificing quality. Not only that, they didn't leave my house a mess like some contractors tend to do. I grade them an A+.

Amazing service. I would highly recommend Bowsher Construction.

All went well, we were happy with the service and cost

They got back to me very quickly and told me unfortunately they don’t service my area. I appreciated them letting me know right away.

The two workers performed quality work, and were friendly, helpful and efficient. I would recommend their services again.

I'm very pleased with the work that Lloyd and Myron did at my rental apartment. They went above and beyond. Had great attention to detail, very professional and the work was excellent. They also did a great job with clean up. I will be using them again in the future for other upcoming projects.

The painting job that they did was absolutely perfect. They completed the job in the time that they were supposed to. In fact, I went over there (it was done at my parent's condo) to see the guys at 4:45 and they had finished and left already. They did everything that I asked for, including painting the closets. The only thing I didn't like was that they didn't communicate with me well enough. We set up the day that they would be there for service via email, here on Angie's list, but when I asked them to confirm the date a few days before and then the night before, they never responded. I wasn't sure if they'd show up. The doorman called me at 9:30am to tell me that the painter was there to get an estimate of the work needed. I got on the phone with him and he asked me the details (which I'd given in my emails) and if the ceiling needed painting. I said no, and again told him it was just a bedroom with the closets, which he said was easy. The super then told me I'd need a permit or waiver from the building (co-ops), but he'd check on it and they'd get back to me. A few hours later, I hadn't heard from the super or the painters, so I called back and was told that a waiver wasn't necessary and that the guys were painting. Like I said, I was happy they were doing it, and on the day that we agreed on, but It would have been nice to have heard that directly from the painters, so I could have cleared my schedule completely in case something happened that I was needed.

It was very good. There were no additional charges. They showed up on time and they did a good job. They were neat and they cleaned up. There were really no issues. They set up the appointment and they came when they were supposed to. It was all a very good experience. I would use them again in the future.

Everything went well from the first time I was recommended to use Lloyd and Myron for home repairs, to the time they helped to make the decisions on color and stain choices, to the very end when they cleaned up and were out of the house. They are very knowledgeable In their work, and even gave me some good recommendations of some future repair ideas. I would definitely use theme again for my next home repair.

Their work is wonderful, and they were friendly and helpful throughout the whole process from the time they came in for the quote to the time they cleaned up after they finished the job...

My kitchen and bathroom remodel went great! From the demolition to the finished product. Bowser helped me through the entire process. I could not be more thankful for the beautiful outcome. Their knowledgeable staff answered all our questions and made us feel feel comfortable with every decision that we made. I would use them again in a heartbeat and am looking forward to working with them in the near future. Thank you Bowsher!!

All the work was completed on time. I was very happy with all worked performed. I liked their attention to detail. These guys are true professionals. I will definitely hired them again.

This company has lied to me many times. I hired them and gave them a key to the tenants place, they never returned it. I had to fly from California to New Jersey to check the work and I was there for a week. I still can't get a hold of them. Their address is fake. Every time I call them I can't get through because the voice mail is full. I have tried 3 different lines. They did some work, but did not finish. My tenants are now moving out, and I have to change all the locks and get new keys because they didn't return my key. They had hired a sub contractor with out me knowing it. They are a dangerous company and I advise to stay away from them. It was a very, very unpleasant situation. It was unbelievably disgusting.

Our unit was not ready until months after we were told that it would be and the work they did was mediocre at best and in some cases completely inadequate. They waited until the last minute to try to finish the work and then rushed to get everything done. After we moved in (we were the first), we witnessed them do the exact same thing for all of the other units in the building. We have had to refinish our hardwood floors because they did not use enough polyurethane and the floors were getting stained. We had to repaint everything because they used the cheapest paint possible and did a very poor job. We had to have our ceiling repaired because the air conditioning leaked due to improper piping. The smoke detectors go off if you run the bathtub which we are still trying to fix. The fence in the backyard began to fall over in less than a year. The paint on the back patio and fire escape was never finished and what was done was done poorly - they started with red paint then decided to use black but never covered the first coat of red completely. After we moved in they came back to fix something and in the process ruined our carpet by getting glue all over it. They left without telling us and we had to have the carpet replaced which they were supposed to pay for but still have not 8 months later. I could go on for days with the number of things they did incorrectly but the best I can say is not to use these guys or to even consider them. They do horrible work, are not professional, and will not answer your calls or return your messages. If you try their cell phones, they never answer and the voicemail is always full so you can't leave a message. If you do get in touch with them, they will tell you that your problem will be fixed but it never will. They have no problem lying to you. Also, they work with Service Magic so beware if you get them this way. The company consists of Lloyd Bowden and Myron Usher so if you get either individual I would be concerned as well.

They did the work but there was a problem with it a few weeks later--like the previous door it fell off the track and broke. I told them I didn't think the problem was any fault of their own but I asked them to come back and see if they could find a solution They came back, suggested some ideas, said they would be back the next day, and then I never heard back from them again. I've made several phone calls to their offices and they didn't even bother to return them. In other words, be careful if you hire them, you may get an unfinished job.
