Quality craftsmanship for your nest.
At Bowerbird, we endeavor to blend our comprehensive knowledge of building with a deep and inherent sense of artistry. We see each home as a sacred space, intuitively designed to not only shelter you from the natural environment, but to bring you closer to it.
Beginning as a general contractor in 2005, Joshua Johns— owner and founder of Bowerbird Builders— originally made his start in Vancouver, BC. With a growing desire to return to his home in Washington state, in 2011 he and his family relocated to Orcas Island where his passion for art and craftsmanship wove into his work as a contractor. Inspired by sustainable and mindful building, he joined forces with Jason Smith in 2022 and together and together they have built a team of talented professionals who work steadily to create homes, solutions and sacred spaces for the community of Orcas Island.
“Bowerbird Construction will remain my first choice for whatever projects remain to be done in my time here on earth.”
