MEET GOWAN CUSTOM BUILDERS

Founded in 2018 by Nicholas Gowan, Gowan & Sons Incorporated was built on a lifelong passion for entrepreneurship, hard work, and exceptional service. Long before the company was established, Nicholas discovered his entrepreneurial spirit at just eight years old when he started a neighborhood business called "Nick for Hire." Offering services such as lawn care, car washing, firewood stacking, and general property maintenance, he quickly learned the value of reliability, customer service, and earning the trust of those around him.

What began as a childhood venture laid the foundation for what would eventually become Gowan & Sons. Throughout the years, Nicholas continued to pursue business opportunities while furthering his education at Davenport University, combining practical experience with formal business knowledge. Growing up in a family that owned and operated multiple successful businesses also provided invaluable mentorship and firsthand insight into what it takes to build a company rooted in integrity, quality, and long-term relationships.

Today, those same values remain at the core of Gowan & Sons Incorporated. Our company is driven by a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, honest communication, and personalized service. Whether building custom homes, creating beautiful outdoor environments, managing private estates, or caring for vacation rental properties, we approach every project with the same dedication, attention to detail, and pride that inspired a young entrepreneur to start knocking on neighbors' doors all those years ago.

At Gowan & Sons, we believe success is built on trust, hard work, and treating every client's property as if it were our own. That philosophy continues to guide everything we do and is the foundation upon which we proudly serve our clients today.
