We recently had a deck built by Mike and his team, and the difference it’s made to our home is incredible. From the very beginning, Mike was professional, patient, and took the time to walk us through every step of the process. He always answered our questions thoroughly and made sure we understood what to expect along the way.

The workmanship is top-notch, and the entire project went smoothly from start to finish. The deck has truly transformed our outdoor space—it feels like a natural extension of our home, and we’re already spending so much more time outside because of it.

Mike’s attention to detail and clear, no-pressure communication made the whole experience genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommend working with him if you’re looking for quality work.

This is our second job with Southwest Builders and that should say a lot all on its own. They were very professional, showed up when they said they would, cleaned up like they weren't even there and most important the quality of the work is topnotch! All in all a great experience and I would highly recommend them.

SW Builders remodeled by home, new flooring, painted kitchen and bathroom cabinets, backsplash, quartz counter tops, plumbing, and stacked stone around the fireplace for accent wall. Mike's demolition/finishing team was great, The first day they worked till after 6 pm to complete the job.
i cannot say enough about Jenn and Mike. I was provided a schedule several weeks ahead of time as to when each segement of the project was scheduled. And...we stayed on time throughout the remodel. The contractors always showed up and they were always on time & worked the entire day. Cannot say enough about the contractors. They were knowledgeable, expereienced and skilled. Not only that, but they made sure to protect everything and cleaned up after themselves.
SW Builders are different from most contractors. In the beginning Mike looked at the samples I had selected and made suggestions on how to bring the vision together. He even went to stone suppliers and brought samples for me to select. Mike uses only the most qualified subcontractors. Not only that, but Mike stopped by regularly to check on the progress.
SW estimated the job would be done in about three weeks. The job was completed in 22 days. My friends, family and neighbors couldn't believe it when I told them - "remodeling was complete".

Mike and Jenn were great to work with. A refreshing contrast to other contractors. We had them renovate our small bathroom. We are very happy with the workmanship in our final product. Mostly I want to thank them for the exemplary communication they provided to us at every step of the way. We had a minor hiccup that was addressed immediately and resolved. We look forward to working with them again in July.

We had an amazing experience working with Mike and Jenn from Southwest Builders on our basement renovation! They transformed our unfinished space into a beautiful, functional living area that includes a new bathroom, bedroom, living room, and even an exercise room.

One of the standout features was their ability to remove a structural post and install a beam, which completely opened up the space and made it feel so much bigger and brighter. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism throughout the project were top-notch.

Not only was the main team great to work with, but every subcontractor—from the flooring crew to the plumber, painters, and carpenters—was attentive, skilled, and just genuinely nice people to have around. They treated our home with respect and were always courteous and professional.

The entire process was smooth, communication was clear, and they really listened to our ideas to bring the space to life. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and a contractor you can trust. Thank you again for an incredible job!

Hired Southwest to rebuild my backyard deck, it took them a while to finish mostly due to weather but they did a great job and did some minor repairs to the connected part of the house as well. I'll be calling them in the future.

Everyone at Southwest builders was great! Communication was quick and efficient. I’m incredibly busy and they worked with me. I asked for one thing to be changed and it was done that day. I will definitely use them again for further projects!

Couldn't be happier with the new deck. The old one was a clear safety hazard and getting ready to fall apart. Mike came in, put together a plan and made it happen. The price was very reasonable considering other quotes and the end product is SUBSTANTIALLY better than I had ever expected. You can trust Mike and his team to do it right.

Southwest Builders were a pleasure to work with. When I met with Mike he gave me a his honest opinion of what he thought would be the best course of action for my project. He was very upfront with any issues or concerns he had with my idea and we were able to work out a solution that satisfied all my needs. Very professional and would be happy to work with them again.

There's a reason Southwest Builders currently has all 5-star reviews and I'm pleased to be able to add another to the list. I would highly recommend Mike's team on any remodel that you are considering. They did fantastic work on a full remodel that included a totally new kitchen, sanding & staining hardwood floors throughout, 2 bathroom remodels, and new refinished staircase. I priced out 4 GC's for my remodel and Southwest Builders easily provided the best value for the cost. I will use SW Builders again!

Mike and his team completed a remodel of my kitchen and I am so very happy! My kitchen was so outdated and when I got serious about finding someone, I located this company from the internet not knowing if things would work out. Everyone is responsive, answered all my questions any time I
was confused about something, respectful and always here at the times they said they would be. My kitchen is beautiful and I am so very happy I located this company. If I have any issues with anything in the future, Mike assured me he would not hesitate to correct it. Wonderful company!

My bathroom needed an update and Mike and his team did another fantastic job! I am so pleased with the new floor, new bath, vanity and sink and toliet. Again, always on time and very respectful. If I find other jobs, which this house needs, I would not use any company except this one. I appreciate them so very much!

10 out of 10 would recommend. My deck was on the verge of collapse and Mike was very thorough in his plan to fix the issues and make the deck safe again. His estimate was competitive and he also let me know of the things that, once they started work they might run into, and what might add to the estimate. Jaydon and his crew arrived on time and completed the project beyond my expectations in the estimated amount of time. This was the best experience I have ever had with a contractor from start to finish!

Mike and his crew did a fantastic job! All of his subcontractors were excellent as well (and we are very picky)! Very high quality for a reasonable price. You will not meet a contractor as nice as Mike. We are enjoying our space and would highly recommend Southwest Builders.

Mike Bowie, The owner, met with me and my wife Cindy about our renovations. We are confident in his ability to give your project the attention it deserves. Not only is Mike very good at his profession, he is very detailed oriented & very personable. I always know that if I refer someone to Mike & his team, he will treat the client the same way I would. He is a patient, skilled craftsman, and quite frankly, a perfectionist. The efficiency and professionalism throughout the entire process was second to none.
As a small business owner myself, I appreciate the quality & concern to be the best at what you do.

Mike Bowie together with the incredible Jayden, Leon, and a team of skilled craftsmen, took on the overwhelming task of tackling TWO bathrooms in dire need of complete renovation...at the same time! They diligently and tirelessly took the bathrooms to the studs and rebuilt them to meet our needs beautifully. From start to finish, Mike provided guidance and reassurance, walking us confidently through this job which was completely new to us. They also replaced steps that were pulling away from our outside porch. No project was too much for them. Mike had a plan for us each week and was respectful of the fact that my husband worked from home. It was an enormous undertaking for all parties and we are so happy that we had an opportunity to work with them. We are thrilled with the results and hope to hire them again in the future! THANK YOU, MIKE & TEAM!!

Southwest Builders repaired a number of problem areas in our newly purchased home in Roanoke. We couldn’t be happier with their work- high quality at very reasonable pricing. Definitely a skilled contractor that I would trust with any repair or addition.

Jonathan Shelton

Mike and his crew did an outstanding job on our complete bathroom remodel. Due to our home being a bit older, his crew took great care to properly fix issues that we could have never seen before deconstruction began. We did plenty of shopping and prices were very competitive. Each of his teams that came in were very clean, professional, even personable. I would 100% recommend to anyone in the need of professional repair.

Mike Bowie was wonderful to work with. He was very responsive to all my ideas and questions, gave me several well-thought out options for our project (fixing a portico) and was well-priced. Once they started the project he came to me with any questions or alterations, and the work was completed quickly. We are so happy with the end result and would gladly work with him again!

They took out my old claw foot bathtub and replaced it with a 21st century bathtub, and they also built shelves next to it and put drywall on the ceiling and upper walls. They covered the floor before doing any drywall work and they were very neat and professional and they finished on time. The bathroom looks great now!

On my property there is a cottage by a pond. It was in desperate need of renovation. I was referred to Southwest Builders Inc by a friend.

Mike Bowie, the owner, met with me and after several conversations, I knew that he would be my choice. He listened, made informed suggestions, took my thoughts, and transformed the place into a showcase! He was patient, skilled, a craftsman, and quite frankly, a perfectionist.The efficiency and professionalism throughout the entire process was second to none.

As a small business owner myself, I appreciate quality. I can highly recommend Mike to translate your ideas into reality, whether a small room or a fairy-tale cottage!

I can’t say enough good things about Mike and his team. We were impressed with the quality, professionalism, and overall design skills Mike brought to the table. I always felt like the work was done at a fair price and on time. Highly recommend!

I have used Southwest Builders for garage roof repair, basement fixture removal and stair relocation and patio door repair. The work was quality and performed on time.

Daniel Kirchner

Mike and his crew basically rebuilt the back of our house due to years of water damage that went largely unnoticed, which they found while replacing some doors. Their kindness, honesty, punctuality and character will be the first thing you experience, followed by great quality work and going above and beyond in every way possible. I’ve recommended them several times since they completed work at our house and will not hesitate to keep doing so.

Over the course of about 6 months, Mike and his team completed an 9 room remodel of our home. Everything from complete smaller bedroom renovations (new hardwood floors, new crown and base molding, and new paint) to installation of new exterior French doors, to new concrete pad and OSB walls for a workshop, to complete master suite remodel (including combining 2 smaller bedrooms, new walk in closet, all new master bath). The two things we appreciated most was: 1. Mike's commitment that his team's work quality had to be good enough to be in his own home and 2. Mike's underlying motivation from initial quote to final punchlist was to keep us (his clients) happy.

It has been a pleasure working with the team at Southwest Builders. Though our project is not done yet, we can See the light.

Mike has been incredible with his attention to detail. He knows all aspects of the building project.

We are installing a bathroom in our basement and remodeling the master bath and bedroom. Hardwood floors going down in Master BR and Guest BdRm. The flooring Man is doing a great Job.

We have had plumbing, electrical work, drywall, tile and more.
The SW team is doing all the detail carpentry work and painting.

The most amazing thing to me is how Mike has been able to line up multiple contractors and get them to show up and complete the job in a very timely manner.

Happy Holidays Southwest Builders

Worked with Mike and his team and I must say they are very punctual, persistent and transparent. He let me know what would work and what wouldn’t and made it clear that the goal was for me to love my additions. Never seemed like a money grab and will definitely enlist their services again.

Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
