Why Princeton Homeowners Call Bowden's
Princeton homeowners tend to know exactly what they want the finished wall to look like. Bring us the picture — our designers and in-house installers deliver showpiece results without a parade of subcontractors through the house.
From pre-war estates in the Western Section to architect-led renovations near the University, Princeton projects lean toward high-design gas units, wood-burning restorations, and custom mantels — work our design-and-build team was made for.
If you live near Princeton University, Palmer Square, or Institute Woods — you're inside our everyday territory. Your Princeton project is handled by our own in-house team — gas line, electrical, framing, finish, and stone or tile work. We've been doing it this way since 1904.

Bowden's pulled off what felt like an impossible install. My fireplace wasn't designed for heating—it's deep, not wide—so finding a wood stove that actually fit and worked well took real expertise. The team handled it perfectly. The installers were on time, clean, and just good, normal people—exactly who you want in your home. Even the town fire inspector recognized their work immediately and said, "They always do things right." That says it all. Highly recommend.
We go to Bowden's to help our clients often. It's always the right choice!
Fantastic work, great service and communication. Guys were super nice, efficient, and tidy. Thank you!
