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.

"I am sorry she feels this way. At our first meeting, she made it clear that she was in no hurry. I did not give her a sketch because the layout was not changing. We were replacing cabinets, counters and some appliances. i did measure her kitchen in order to put together an estimate. We met and I would have been glad to do the project."

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.

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.
