AfterMeet the Cupertino Team Behind Rowan Construction Group Cupertino
The crew that shows up at your Cupertino home isn’t a dispatch lottery. These are the same people who’ve worked together through hundreds of kitchen tear-outs, roof replacements, and ADU slab pours in Santa Clara County. What holds them together isn’t a handbook - it’s Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: a written price before any work starts, every time, with no exceptions. That rule changes how a team operates. No surprises means no corner-cutting, no rushed explanations, no wondering who actually did the work.
Our People
Grant Rowan, Owner
I started Rowan in 2007 after watching too many homeowners in Cupertino and the surrounding valley get halfway through a remodel before the real price showed up. Before that, I was a project manager for a commercial builder in San Jose, running concrete and steel jobs where change orders came with three signatures and a notary. I brought that discipline to residential work, and it’s why we still deliver a flat written price with a written scope before anyone picks up a hammer. I hold a California B-General Building Contractor license, and I personally review every quote over $10,000 before it goes out. When I’m not checking job sites, I’m usually explaining to my kids why the dishwasher they loaded still has peanut butter on the knives.
Marcus T., Lead Technician - Roofing & Exterior
Marcus has been with us eight years, and he’s the person we send when a Cupertino homeowner calls about a leak during the first real rain of November. He’s GAF Master Elite certified and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor trained, which means the manufacturers back his installs with enhanced warranties most crews can’t offer. Marcus grew up in East San Jose watching his grandfather roof houses in the old Alum Rock neighborhood, so he knows how valley heat cycling degrades underlayment differently than coastal moisture does. He carries a moisture meter in his truck and uses it on every decking inspection - he’ll show you the reading, explain what 18% means versus 28%, and photograph both. Off the clock, he restores vintage Hondas and will talk carburetor specs until you ask him to stop.
Diana K., Senior Installer - Kitchen & Bath
Diana came to us from a high-end cabinet shop in Mountain View where she spent six years fitting European hinge systems and adjusting integrated appliance panels to 1/32-inch tolerance. She specializes in the mechanical end of kitchen remodeling: leveling bases on century-old Cupertino slab floors, scribing filler strips against out-of-plumb walls, and sequencing the electrical, plumbing, and tile trades so nothing gets covered before inspection. She’s certified in both KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet installation systems, and she’s the reason our kitchen quotes include a written cabinet delivery schedule - she won’t start demo until the boxes are in the garage and she’s verified every panel. Diana lives in Sunnyvale with two greyhounds who, she notes, are far less demanding than a homeowner who’s been eating takeout for three weeks.
James L., Service Coordinator
James answers the phone when you call (669) 202-9618 at 10 PM because water is coming through your ceiling, and he’s the one who makes sure Marcus actually gets the message and the address. He’s been with Rowan since 2019, and he manages our scheduling, permit tracking, and the photo documentation system that sends you a link to every image the crew took on your property. James holds a California contractor’s license in his own right - he started as an apprentice carpenter before a back injury moved him indoors - so when a homeowner describes a “soft spot by the back door,” he knows whether that’s a subfloor issue, a door sill issue, or both. He grew up in Cupertino, graduated from Monta Vista High, and still plays pickup basketball at the YMCA on Stevens Creek. He will remember your dog’s name and your preferred inspection time.
Alejandro R., Apprentice - Additions & ADU
Alejandro is in his third year of our formal apprenticeship, splitting time between foundation work with our concrete crew and framing with our addition specialists. He’s completed the OSHA 30-hour construction safety program and holds a rough carpentry certificate from the local building trades council. On ADU projects in Cupertino, he handles the prep work - layout, form inspection, moisture barrier installation - and he’s learning to read structural plans the way our senior framers do, by tracing load paths instead of just cutting to length. Alejandro was born in Mexico City and moved to San Jose as a teenager; his first construction job was helping his uncle pour driveways in the Almaden Valley. He brings that same patience to our paver installations now, and he’s the person most likely to notice that one Belgard unit sitting a sixteenth high before the sand sets.
One Standard, Every Job
Rowan Construction Group Cupertino operates under The Haven Standard, the same system that governs our ten home-service brands across California. That means every crew member you meet has passed a background check and arrives in uniform with a photo ID. It means the quote you receive is a flat written price with a written scope and a written warranty - not an estimate, not a “call for pricing,” not a number that shifts once work begins. It means no change order moves forward without your signature, and every visit ends with a documented photo record sent to your inbox before the truck leaves your driveway.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every trade we handle in Cupertino, from a single window replacement to a full kitchen remodel to a detached ADU with its own meter. If it’s not done right, we make it right - the guarantee is printed on every page and backed by a terms page, not an asterisk. And if you’ve got a written estimate from another contractor, we’ll review it line by line at no charge. That’s Clause 1 in action: the price is written before anyone starts, every time, because the alternative is how homeowners lose trust in this industry.
Call (669) 202-9618 to schedule your free estimate. A live person answers, 24/7.
