“Rowe Design and Construction, Inc. has done  three extensive renovations for us and recently built us a home.  I would never have anyone else build anything for me. 

If Bill Rowe was not available, I would not start a project.  Rowe defines professional.  

They are on time, on budget and nothing ever needs to be redone.  I also value the opinion of Bill Rowe.  He several times told me that a project I was enamored with was a poor choice.  He was always right.”

“A lasting impression and commitment to the satisfaction of dreams, nothing more nothing less” that is how I define Rowe Construction and Design.  The attention to detail and follow through has been incredible. 

Never a worry, never a doubt, never a second thought….a trust that it will done and done right!

Thank you Bill and the team!”

“Bill’s experience and professionalism made him the perfect partner to turn our ideas into a design customized perfectly to fit our family. His ability to listen and understand what was most important to us immediately put him in a league of his own compared to the others we had worked with. 

When it came to delivering on the design, we were amazed to find that the cost overruns and problems that we were bracing for were nowhere to be found.”

– Mike and Jill

“Rowe Design listened to all of my unique needs and the team designed a custom home that has been perfect for us as a family.  It has quiet cozy spots and also open gathering spaces. 

I wanted to be mindful of my construction budget, and Rowe Design was able to design a gorgeous home with all the details of quality and beauty, within my allowance!  

I could not be more pleased with Rowe Design’s teamwork, meticulous attention, and sincere commitment to making my house a home. ”

Simply put we wouldn’t trust the design and construction of our home to anybody else.  

Every step of the process has been attended to as if it was their own home.  The amount of detail and organization has been second to none.  We’ve been able to get a hold of all members of the team at any time we’ve needed.  

They’ve done an incredible job of taking what can be a very stressful process and made it one of comfort and enjoyment.  We’ve loved working with them and would recommend it to anybody looking for their dream home.  

The end product speaks for itself.

“What a wonderful experience! How a complete re-model of a master bedroom/bathroom suite could be termed “wonderful” is a credit to the expertise of Rowe Design & Construction, Inc.

The superlatives go on and on —utmost attention to details (nothing fell through the cracks!), prompt, excellent communication (we always knew what to expect and when to expect sub-contractors to arrive), exceptionally clean work site, too. Loved working with Dee Dee. For that matter, Bill and Phil too! They were able to take our vague vision/wish list and mold it into reality. 

Billing and necessary payments were very easy to understand. No surprises. The process was top-notch from start to finish. We love our “new” space! We need to come up with another project, though, so we can hire them again!”

Rowe Design has built our last 2 homes. The latest was in 2007. Many times when people build homes they tour previous homes built by the builder…that is important! What people may not appreciate are other key attributes of a great builder. Those are ….organized, on-time, on budget and trust-worthy. Bill’s performance in these areas exceeds my expectations. Heck…I was a CPA in my prior life…now I just hunt and fish. 

Usually there are 2 types of people who build their home….those who love the experience. The other…like my wife and me…..it will be great when it is done.

Dee Dee was a great addition to the team ! People do not appreciate the decisions in picking out carpet,door knobs, light fixtures,wallpaper…DeeDee was invaluable in guiding us thru the process.

My wife and I are 8 years into our last Rowe home. Rowe is still there if any house questions arise. As stated previously

I was a CPA and very mechanically challenged.

But don’t let the preceding fool you…Duke,the black lab ,is the brains of the operation.

When we decided on the Madison area for retirement, we originally planned on buying a pre-existing home. After several weeks of futile searching we realized building was in our future. After purchasing a lot, we asked our Realtor for a list of builders she personally would recommend. After spending a day with a large local builder we visited with Rowe Design and Construction. The differences between the two firms’ approach to building a house were readily apparent. 

The large builder had a set number of plans that they would grudgingly slightly modify. We spent two meetings with Rowe Design and Construction and realized their major concern was not knocking out another house, but designing and building a quality custom house that fit our needs and wants, and within our budget. We stopped looking for a builder at that point and never regretted it.

After going through the building process with Rowe Design and Construction we are extremely impressed with the entire staff’s knowledge, attention to detail (major understatement), and timely communication. All done in a no pressure friendly atmosphere that encourages questions and discussion about design and possible changes. The inclusion of an excellent interior designer that got us through the many decisions required with a custom home was a bonus. We lived four hours away during construction and never worried about what was happening when we were not present. In fact, we had so much trust and confidence in Rowe Design and Construction we spent four weeks out of state and two weeks out of the country during construction.

We are extremely happy with our finished home, are impressed with the quality of the materials and design, along with follow-up after moving in. We feel very comfortable and have no reservations when recommending Rowe Design and Construction to anyone thinking about a custom home.

On time, on budget, helpful ideas, efficient, participatory! We were extremely pleased with the overall project which Rowe Design and Construction coordinated and executed with us in our recent remodeling project. Specifically: · They worked with the design, continually improved it, and responded to our requests and changes with good ideas, but were not intrusive with insistence that we only do what they suggested · There were no “down” days, there was work done each and every day by subcontractors who cared about their work product and work ethic · Every single person who appeared on the job was professional, respectful and competent. · Details were tended to in a timely manner and sometimes found by them even when we did not see them. They are perfectionists and we liked that a lot! We would definitely hire them for another project and will continue to highly recommend them to friends and colleagues for their projects.”
