Stay far away... what was supposed to be a 2 to 3-month basement finish became a 3 month time and money pit. Workers would constantly show up without notice, late, or not at all. Major portions of the project were of poor quality, and some parts were not done at all. No permits were pulled at the beginning of the project, and Washtenaw county came out to put a work stoppage hold on the construction. The building inspector came out after the electrical and plumbing went in, and he basically turned around and walked out, saying it wasn't even close to inspection ready. Meanwhile, Fowler wasn't there to hear all the problems that needed to be fixed before inspection, so I had to do my best to relay the information. Why did I hire a general contractor again, when I'm doing this kind of work? The newly-dug window well was left completely open, and when we had a heavy rain, water poured in through the window. Fowler wasn't able to fix the problem, as he was "at his son's graduation" and he'd send someone out. That someone never showed up, and my wife and I had to bail water out so the entire basement (and fresh framing) didn't flood. Existing HVAC was damaged and not repaired, cut lumber was left strewn across our lawn several times after the workers had left for the day, electrical boxes weren't correctly spaced, door frames weren't the correct size (as I found out after the fact), networking cable was run incorrectly, the list goes on and on... Eventually had to fire due to all the problems, and I'm left with an incredibly crappy 1/2 build that will need heavy modifications to fix.
