    We had (and continue to have) a horrible experience in choosing BOWA for our project. They completely mismanaged it, talked up their services and showed us little of what they promised, chose incompetent subs, didn't manage their subs, never completed the walkthrough / punch-list items, and have never followed up on subsequent calls or emails to complete of check faulty work. The list could go on and on. There is no way we can recommend them.
