The company started out by selling lumber, S4S (Surfaced 4 Sides), moulding, stairs, and custom millwork. Business quickly grew from a 30’ X 40’ shop to over 25,000 square feet of machine lines and inventory storage.

The backbone of our growth came from 2 contributing factors. The local economy was growing at a strong pace, and the wealth of knowledge Kennard shared with his employees.

In the 1970’s Kennard Bowers was a vocational teacher for NYS. He designed the first cabinet maker / carpenter apprentice program for the state. This experience helped him to build a very knowledgeable work force in a relatively short period of time.

This has continued on as a very important part of Bowers & Sons, maintaining a very courteous and respectful staff that also has the knowledge and experience to give you the confidence to work with us.
