A Greensboro, MD-based home improvement contractor has been convicted and sentenced for felony home improvement fraud.
On June 20, Jeremy Bowen, 44, was sentenced to six months in prison after being convicted of three counts of felony home improvement fraud through a guilty plea entered in Sussex County Superior Court. The sentence follows an investigation into multiple offenses involving accepting payments for projects that were never completed.
“Jeremy Bowen’s deceitful actions didn’t just hurt his victims financially – they caused a great deal of emotional and psychological distress to several families across our state,” said Attorney General Kathy Jennings.
Previous reports about Bowen's actions listed Sussex County addresses.
“Delawareans throughout the State pour their life savings into buying and then improving their homes; they need to be able to trust their contractors and that their funds will be used as promised. My White Collar Crime Unit will continue to hold contractors who breach that trust accountable.”
On April 7, 2025, Bowen pled guilty to three counts of felony Home Improvement Fraud, one count of Issuing a Bad Check and one count of misdemeanor Home Improvement Fraud. The plea resolves complaints alleging that Bowen had taken funds, then failed to perform in 13 contracts throughout Kent and Sussex counties. Many of the projects involved contracts for swimming pool construction. Several victims were seniors.
In addition to his prison sentence, Bowen is ordered to pay about $270,000 in restitution to his victims. Once released from prison, he will be subject to an additional year of home confinement and is barred by Superior Court from working in home improvement for four and a half years.
Those wishing to report suspected criminal home improvement fraud are asked to contact their local police department. Consumers may also submit consumer complaints to the Fraud and Consumer Protection Division to report non-criminal concerns with home improvement contractors and other businesses.
