The perfect way to beat the Carteret County heat.☀️

While custom homes are our focus, we occasionally accept select renovation projects that complement our construction schedule and allow our teams to bring the same level of craftsmanship to unique spaces like this. It’s even more rewarding when we have the opportunity to collaborate with great local partners like Emerald Pool Works

This Morehead City backyard oasis features a covered lanai and portico, complete with a custom louvered privacy wall that creates a secluded retreat for shaded loungers and hot tub.

Our clients had a beautiful vision from the very beginning, and it was a privilege to help bring it to life.

Yesterday, a subcontractor new to the area reached out looking to connect with local builders. As we talked through our usual questions, we asked how they had heard of Banks Builders.

Their answer:
“I Googled ‘best contractor in Carteret County, NC,’ and Banks Builders was the first result.”

We know Google’s algorithm changes constantly, but hearing those words was a reminder of how far we’ve come.

Seven years ago, Banks Builders didn’t exist.

Today, we’re trusted by incredible clients, talented trades, and a community we’re proud to call home. Just like every home we construct, we’ve built something from scratch.

To everyone who has supported us, referred us, worked alongside us, or trusted us with your home, thank you. We’re grateful for every opportunity and look forward to continuing to serve this community with integrity and care.

In home building, plumb walls are essential because they help everything else line up the way it should, from framing and drywall to cabinets, doors, and trim.

A wall that’s just a little out of plumb can lead to a lot of headaches later.

Tuesday, June 9 marked a memory that will live on in our minds forever. While Banks Builders is a custom home building company, a big part of our lives has always been, and always will be, fishing.

Yesterday, thanks to the Daniels family, Captain Cameron Guthrie, and mate Jackson Weeks, we brought home a record-breaking Blue Marlin.

As the boat backed into Big Rock Landing, the crowd was screaming, the music was blaring, and I found the faces of my wife, children, family, and friends cheering from the dock. The fish was raised, the number was called, and joy overwhelmed me.

It’s the same feeling that washes over me when I welcome a client into their finished home for the first time. It’s the quiet pride that comes from pouring an immense amount of energy into something bigger than yourself.

I grew up on these waters and learned to fish with my dad, alongside many incredible people who have also served as mentors in business. I’m blessed to build homes and raise my family on the land that boarders these waters.

One day, I’ll tell my kids the whole story of the fight, the team, and the history. But I hope what they take from it is this: love where you’re from, work hard with your hands, and surround yourself with people who won’t give up the fight alongside you.

Thank you, Marlin Fever, Big Rock, and Carteret County, for being the kind of place that’s always worth coming home to.
