Banks & Son-Builders
We are a family owned business operating over 40 years in the DMV area, primarily in Washington, D.C. and Montgomery County. We are BUILDERS, not handymen. In addition to our Maryland and Washington, D.C. Home Improvement Licenses, we are licensed Maryland Home Builders. Over the years we've built dozens of CUSTOM homes, start to finish, that are still loved and lived in by their homeowners today! Although we are a small firm, our scope of work is large.
"Sam Banks Jr will charm you and give you a very fair quote- it might even seem like a steal. Don?t take it. We hired Banks and Son to redo our shower and the lack of attention to detail was atrocious. The final product was sloppy, there were cracked tiles left on the wall, our shower door was installed slanted leaving a large gap at the bottom, the grout was cracked, there was a divot in the floor where water pooled, and there were parts of the shower that were left unsealed. When I emailed Sam about these issues, he was aggressive, misogynistic, and dismissive. He gave excuses and blamed me. Even after he reluctantly fixed everything but the floor- we had another contractor clean up his mess. I would not recommend, his ego is the size of Mars, he?s aggressive towards women, and clearly lacks pride in his services "
