Testimonials

"Mike Cowan, completed a major remodel of our home recently; he was nothing short of a pleasure to deal with throughout the construction process. Mike kept all his commitments to us, whether schedule or financial. He made sure we understood the potential impact of change orders and offered alternate solutions to minimize costs. Mike engaged sub-contractors who shared his client-centric approach to business: they were reliable, easy to work with, and the quality of their work consistently exceeded our expectations. In the single occasion of a negotiated dispute, Mike showed himself to be fair, reasonable, and willing to compromise. My wife and I have a number of friends who have also used Mike…to a man (or woman) they share our positive views of Mike Cowan Construction. I am comfortable strongly recommending Mike Cowan for virtually any substantial residential construction project."

"Mike Cowan was instrumental in the completion of our project ahead of schedule and on budget. Mike possesses all of the requisite qualities for the consummate general contractor: integrity, diligence, timeliness, an eye for quality and cost awareness. Most importantly Mike is a meticulous communicator. We knew where we stood through out each phase of the project with respect to our budget and critical path. Mike was well ahead of potential stumbling points, working with the designers on solutions before they became issues. Cowan Construction was a valuable part of our team from the design phase beyond the construction. Mike worked with one of our neighbors resolving a concern months after the construction was complete. He went the extra mile to make sure that we were happy, as well as all related parties. I will absolutely use Cowan Construction for future projects."

"We used Cowan Construction for two major projects on our home, a kitchen makeover and a new garage. We were delighted with the quality of work and the on the job supervision Mike provided. We felt we could trust Mike to get the job done on time and provide us with an accurate monthly billing versus bid prices that kept our project on budget."

"I cannot write enough positive comments about Mike Cowan and his work as a general contractor. He and his team built a new bathroom and remodeled an existing bar and bedroom for me after purchasing a new home. At first, the task seemed daunting and almost impossible to me given some of the logistics of the space. But through careful measurement and planning, Mike worked magic to produce an incredible new space in my house that is both beautiful as well as functional and inviting. Through every step of the process, Mike was on-site to supervise and guide his team members, and made every effort to insure that I was pleased with the progress and approved any revisions to the plans. He is a master at his craft, a joy to work with, and a consummate professional in the construction industry."

"Hiring Cowan Construction, LLC to remodel our master bathroom was one of the best decisions we have made.  Mike and his team of subs always arrived on time, were pleasant to have in our home, cleaned up after themselves, and did quality work.  Ours was a relatively small job, but we were never treated as a "small" client.  Thanks, Mike!"
