Banks Home Building Inc

This was the only provider who charged for an estimate. It was supposed to include a sketch which I never got. After the initial appointment, I had to contact him several times for estimate. Compared to other providers, he showed no real interest in my business. I felt he was just gong through the motions to earn his fee, which was unwarranted. He had no helpful input or suggestions. I was very disappointed and felt ripped off. I would not contact this company again for any work.

Plan not drawn to scale (not a problem, was initial plan). Gave some helpful insight toward the renovation building standards. The ideas were not all that helpful in the change I was looking for.

They were very professional and polite. When I was not satisfied with certain things, they were very quick to fix the problem with absolutely no complaints.

It took about 8 weeks. which was longer than I thought it would take. However, the work done by all involved was excellent. The work site was cleaned at the end of each day. All the plumbing worked properly and I have not had any problems. Kudos go out to the guy who installed the tile. Everyone who has seen the finished bathroom wants to know his name. I was pleased that the budget was monitored and I was informed when any decisions I made would exceed it. To me Banks Home Building is a trustworthy company.

We were very pleased with the professionalism of this company and hope to have an opportunity to use their services in the future.

Mr. Banks came to my house originally in a timely manner to look at my kitchen. He was very pleasant said he would get back to me within a week. I was admittedly hard to get in touch with as I was taking care of a terminally ill relative and we missed connections several times. He told me by phone that he had some sketches and he could leave them in my mailbox, but he would rather meet me to talk about his ideas. At about that time my relative's health worsened and I was unavailable for well over a month perhaps two. After the funeral, and when my life went back to normal, I called him again. He told me that he had thrown the sketch away but that he could meet me at my home to talk about it. When he came, he really had no concrete ideas, just generalities. I was disappointed but realized that I had genuinely been hard to contact.

Mr. Banks came to my house for the consultation and made a follow-up call to me afterwards for some additional information. Unfortunately, I never received any type of quote or sketch. I do not recommend paying for a design consultation upfront from this Company. I paid $55 and received absolutely nothing in return.

The experience with Banks was excellent. We reviewed the plans, all of our options, and toured a few properties on which they were currently working. They provided a reasonable cost for the quality of work they do. Banks is a top-notch builder with an outstanding reputation for quality and finishes. They are professional, courteous and honest. I will highly recommend them for any building or remodeling work.

He came out but did not do a sketch. The cabinet guy that he recommended did the kitchen sketch. He did nothing except put us in touch with his vendor.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it was okay. They were supposed to give us a written plan for our kitchen, but they did not give us a written copy of it. They came over and talked about it, but they did not give us a plan. I was not thrilled and they did not go above and beyond. They were responsive and came out when they said they would.

The owner showed up and looked at the project and I asked when I would have the sketch per the agreement and he stated within a week. After two weeks of not hearing from him I called him and he stated the $7,000.00 project would be $18000.00. I asked for the sketch and he said he would mail it to me that day. I would never recommend or use this company and I deserve my money back.

Overall things went well, the rain caused a delay but Mr.Banks was always accessible to us with updates on when work was expected to be done. Our phone calls were always returned in a short amount of time. If there was a question Mr.Banks always got back to us with the answer or came to the house to see for himself. I feel that quality materials and workman are used by Banks Home Building and I would not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to friends.

I met with Stuart Banks at 144 Woodmont Drive in Homewood and we discussed my interest in finishing the basement with a bathroom, laundry room, workshop, storage and family room. I gave him the original construction plans for the house, which was built in 1960 and has never been altered except for the addition of a screened porch. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the sketch since I had provided scaled floor plans, but I got the overall idea he was attempting to get across, so it worked out OK.

Highly organized , quantity work,

I would highly recommend Banks Home Building. We received 3 quotes and theirs was not the lowest. But I believe it was fair and we definitely got our moneys worth. They were extremely professional throughout the entire process. We were told it would take 6 weeks and they were spot on. They handled all aspects of the project including getting permits, handling inspections etc. A foreman was assigned to our project and he was awesome. He communicated with us on a daily basis and supervised everything that was going on. Any problem identified was communicated to us and then handled immediately. The quality of work is excellent. All in all I can't imagine the project going any smoother than it did and we would definitely contact Stuart Banks again with any project we have.

I was very satisfied from start to finish with the work performed. The workers were all nice and easy to work with. I think everything was done in a timely manner. Overall, it was a very good experience. Stuart Banks is an honest contractor and businessman. I would definitely recommend his company to others.

Great, he walked us through the drawing. When we get ready to do the basement, we will call him.

It went terrible overall. I paid $98 to get two sketches and quotes to remodel a bath and the kitchen. I've gotten absolutely nothing for my money.

The quality of the work is unlike any. The honesty they displayed is unbelievable. We didn't even sign a contract with them and it was the greatest experience. Anybody that he brought to the house, from the tile man to the floor man, was the most professional. It took a year to build the house and not one cross word with any of them. They showed up on time and everything was absolutely perfect. The work was impeccable. He did the most incredible job.

My experience was wonderful! All the workers were quiet, kind, neat and polite. They arrived on time and left at the end of the day. Their workmanship was superb! When one job was complete the next group of guys were right there as planned. As I added more requests, the men were happy to oblige. Everything went smoothly!!

This company is very trustworthy and they have reasonable pricing. Stuart, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable about the building industry. Therefore, the company has access to and knowledge of the latest building products and advances in the industry. The quality of product produced by this company is also bar-none. I highly recommend this company and will continue to use them in the future.

Banks Home Building renovated a crumbling 80+ year old historical house. Floors were falling through, plaster cracked, windows leaking, roof leaking, 80-year-old wire and knob electrical system; just to name a few challenges. Their attention to detail for our 80+ year old house was amazing. All the moldings for the addition were hand crafted and matched the existing house down to every detail. It is very difficult to tell where the old house stops and the addition begins. The job superintendent has much experience with historical houses and was wonderful to work with. Nothing was ever a problem for Banks Home Building. If something came up on the job, it was solved immediately with no major discussion, issues, or price overages. Stuart Banks, the owner, is a very honest and ethical business man. We even lived in the existing house while the addition was being constructed. The work was completed in the timeline estimated by the contractor.

Banks Home Building was a great contractor to work with. Very professional, honest and ethical. His subs were very well trained and timely. The materials used in our house were top quality. The house was completed on schedule and exactly to our plans and specifications without many change orders. All change orders were by our choice for additional services or scope. We had several bids on this project and Banks Home Building was the most competitive bid. We have since used him again on a second home.

Because of the size of our job, we had to move out so completion time was important. Banks Home Building completed the job when he said they would. They had to remove trees and lay foundation and knock down walls before the actual framing could begin. all of the sub contractors that were used were so kind-I loved going over to see them and the progress daily. Home additions are all about budgets. We signed a contract on a price, and any variance was due to us wanting to add something. We, however, worked within the allowances Stuart gave us. I strongly suggest doing leg work of your own before any project, so that you have an idea of what you would like costs. Contractors, such as Stuart Banks, work with people with varying ranges of taste from inexpensive to outlandish. You are better off letting them know where you stand in all that-especially when it comes to kitchens and baths-the sky can be the limit, but the purse strings may not! Stuart never went over, and if he did, I am afraid he had to eat it. I say this with no sense of satisfaction because in all the time I have worked with him, he has become a great friend. Not only is he great at what he does, but he is honest and forthright. He has a great family to boot. I can't say enough good things about Banks Home Building. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention Mike Ross, Stuarts other half in the job place. He has an eye for detail and is always there when you need him. These 2 men work well together.

Banks has done an excellent job and paid very close attention to the detail. The wood work and stone work that was specified for this home was beautifully done. He also is very prompt and always completes his job on or before completion date.
