“I’ve never been just a briefcase contractor,” says Bill Bowles of Beachwood Builders. Bill enjoys swinging a hammer and has been doing it for forty years as a general contractor. His company, Beachwood Builders, can design and build kitchens and bathrooms, patios and driveways, or remodel your entire house and yard. “We like to serve the customer in every way we can,” says Bill.
Beachwood Builders has experience in all things residential, from complete interior remodeling to exterior hardscape, landscape and decking. The Beachwood building team features a group of highly qualified journeymen workers, as well as a skilled core crew. They can easily scale up or down to accommodate any size of job.
Unlike a “briefcase contractor,” Bill is on site at every job, if not with hammer in hand, then with plans and a cell phone, managing subcontractors and keeping his clients happy. “We’re still in it after 40 years because we love building. We’re the most dedicated workers you’ll find because we enjoy it. Life’s too short not to have fun at work.”
Tip: “Your two biggest investments are your house and your car. I’d hire someone you know can do a great job. Check referrals, and make sure the references are still enjoying what their contractor built.” –Bill
I would trust Bill Bowles with anything when it comes to my home. I found him through neighbor 2 neighbor, and could not have found someone more hardworking, reliable, or trustworthy. He came up with creative solutions to build my dream deck, did it on the timeline he promised, and was always available via phone or email to answer any questions. And when a pipe burst in my home, he was there first thing the next morning with a plumber. He is always positive and friendly, and has a solution for everything -- I will go to him for any and every home improvement project, and cannot recommend him more highly.

We are first-time clients of Beachwood Builders, and are absolutely delighted that we chose them as our contractor. As part of our landscaping project, we needed a new patio and wood pergola. The resulting construction is just beautiful and was completed on time, within budget, and with the utmost professionalism. Bill Bowles is a pleasure to work with - his knowledge and experience are first rate, and with his easy-going nature and great sense of humor, the project became a lot of fun besides having a wonderful end-product. His suggestion of building semi-circular benches around two existing trees, in redwood to match our new pergola, was a great insight and these were then constructed to the highest standards of craftsmanship. We love our new yard!
We highly recommend Bill's work, and will certainly return to Beachwood Builders for future projects.

It is my true pleasure to give a referral for Bill Bowles. I adore this guy! I have worked with Beachwood Builders for 18 years and I’ll tell you, the combination of an anal person and a detailed contractor is a dream! I cannot speak highly enough about him. As the designer/architect, I work between him and the client, and he makes us all look good! His prices look comparable, but are really lower because of the superior quality of his work. Bill is extremely organized, and pays phenomenal attention to detail. He is the only contractor I know that puts together, before the job starts, an entire diagram of the schedule; he calls it the Critical Path, so the subs and the client can see where everyone is supposed to be and what they are to be doing at any given time. It is brilliant! The client feels totally on board at all times, and there is no confusion. His bid is meticulous so there are no surprise costs. What makes him so valuable to me is all the work he puts into a project before it even starts. He keeps to his time frame and estimate; everything is fully anticipated and accounted for. I wish him the best of everything!

Beachwood Builders did a major kitchen remodel for me, which also involved exterior work, as we had to reverse the layout and move a doorway. They showed up on time, stayed on budget and had great follow up. Bill is a hands-on guy that “works with the tools.” With any remodel there are going to be some unexpected surprises. Bill anticipated them and made on the spot changes. We felt the price was fair because we knew what we were getting into. The job was on a tight schedule because this was just before the holidays and my wife wanted to have a working kitchen. We ordered all the cabinets and appliances in advance and I really liked how Beachwood coordinated the project. Bill Bowles is a good craftsman who sees the entire picture.

Beachwood Builders remodeled my entire house, nuts to bolts; a major cosmetic overhaul and they did a fantastic job! It was all done in a timely fashion. Bill is very talented and great people work for him. He pays great attention to detail, is meticulous with good ideas. I had no worries. Bill Bowles is all good!

I have the highest confidence in Bill Bowles’ integrity. I leave my keys with him. He does high quality construction. He has done a tremendous amount of work for me over the last ten years. His prices are reasonable. His follow up is great. He is honest and competent. I have zero complaints about him or his skills.

Bill Bowles has worked on five major remodels for me. I just keep going back to him. He’s a quality guy with a great conscience, very responsible and reliable. And he does what he says he will do. When he offers his own suggestions, he is usually right. His subcontractors are the best I’ve ever had. I referred him to some other people who won’t let him go, either. One night a few years back, before iphones, I woke up at 4:00 a.m. and he was up tarping my roof, and we did not even know it was raining! What makes Bill special is his incredible knowledge in all areas and aspects of contracting. That’s why I really trust and rely on him.
