Report
Jimmy Doster and Banks Channel Building Company constructed our custom home of approximately 4,000 square feet in Autumn Hall. It was featured in the April 2016 edition of Wrightsville Beach magazine. The experience was entirely positive in every way. Any problems encountered were resolved expeditiously and fairly.
Jimmy excels in establishing and maintaining communications throughout the process.
He is adept at explaining the pros and cons of myriad options encountered during construction. His advice can be trusted as sound and not motivated by a desire to increase his own fee. He wisely cautioned

Jimmy Doster (Banks Channel Building Company) built my family home. I find that some folks don't understand that building a custom home is a process; one that requires patience and communication on both sides. Some folks seem to think that building a custom home should be like going to their car dealership to take delivery of a new car. My family's experience working with Jimmy was exemplary. Our build had challenges, as all do. We worked through those challenges with Jimmy, who always maintained clear and reasonable communications and came up with solutions, not excuses. My home has now seen

Jimmy Doster built our beautiful home in Landfall,
Wilmington, NC. in 2004. We chose him as our builder because of the exceptional floor plan, but mostly because of the quality of construction we saw in many homes he had built. We were extremely pleased with Jimmys keen attention to detail, the quality of work of all his sub contractors and
his close supervision and coordination of all construction to deliver our finished home on schedule. He communicated to us daily and responded promply to our calls, addressing
concerns and making changes , meeting our
needs and Landfalls governing

Jimmy Doster built two houses for me and we had ZERO problems. Jimmy is an honorable, talented and respected builder. The insanely long and bizarrely personal negative review on here seems like nothing more than a bitter and hateful rant.
