What Our Clients Are Saying…

We are Mountain Medical Arts just off Burnsville Town Square. Historic circa 1900 construction. CBA re-did the street-facing siding and trim, which was rotten. See for yourselves, the outcome is GORGEOUS! We are continually getting compliments on the facelift of the building. These guys LISTENED well and came up with effective, beautiful fixes for very challenging problems. A shout out to Omero, who was brilliant at figuring out how to make a wonky unlevel triangle (gable end) APPEAR level. This is no small feat! There were NO level or plumb angles on this old building for these guys to work with and they pulled it off beautifully! The painting was subbed to Chapina – those guys were TIRELESS in their pursuit of smooth clean surfaces to paint. The effortful sanding paid off, and it is a fabulous outcome! We have paint that sticks for the first time in probably 50 years! Thanks to everyone involved in the job. Well done!

After working with our architect to design our dream mountain home, we interviewed several builders in the Asheville and Burnsville, NC areas. Randy took us out to several homes that CBA had built or renovated, and it was his enthusiasm and care that won us over. At each home, Randy pointed out innovative details his construction and design teams had implemented to fit homeowners’ unique styles and needs. We wanted that same care given to our home and appreciated that we could fully customize every detail instead of picking from a catalog of options. Morgan and Randy provided suggestions and helped guide our choices, but ultimately, we had full creative control. We also trusted, from seeing CBA’s past projects, that their team would help bring our vision to fruition. The end product is everything we wanted: A quality-built home that is clean and modern but inviting and comfortable. We are thrilled with our house and CBA’s quality of the work and attention to detail.

Brianna & Mike Jerman

We partnered with Crowder Banks & Associates for our basement renovation. During our first meeting, we had only a vague idea of what we wanted. We had no vision of the layout of the space or even a concrete description of our goals. Randy & Edwin managed to create a gorgeous, functional floor plan and brought to life a space that far exceeded our expectations. It includes a theater room with a custom live-edge bar, home gym, kitchen, living area, bedroom, bathroom, and plenty of storage. Their attention to detail was truly something I had never experienced with previous contractors. The finished product is a space I know we will use for years to come—hosting family and friends and creating memories that will last a lifetime. We would highly recommend Crowder Banks to anyone looking for a custom, high-quality experience to upgrade or create a new space!

Justin & Lindsey Canipe

We hired CBA for a renovation project on our Villa, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the result. The quality of the renovation exceeded our expectations. Every detail, from the materials used to the craftsmanship, reflected a high standard of excellence. What really stood out was their innovative approach offering creative solutions that not only enhanced the functionality of our space but also elevated the aesthetics. We’re thrilled with the outcome and would confidently recommend CBA to anyone looking for top-tier renovation services.

Carl & Amber Weise

It was such a pleasure to work with Randy, Edwin, Morgan, their subcontractors, and staff. It is not easy doing a full house remodel from another state, but we always felt we were in good hands. We were so lucky to have been working with CBA, especially during Hurricane Helene where they did everything possible to keep our remodel on track despite limited access, power, and water. Not only did we feel like we found a great contractor, but also forever friends. We couldn’t be happier.

Raul & Lisa Ceide

My husband and I have used Crowder, Banks & Associates on numerous projects.  They have done a full kitchen and large deck remodel for our first home in Burnsville.  More recently, they did a huge remodel on our condo.  We were very happy with the workmanship on all the projects.  Also, they are honest and easy to work with.  I would not hesitate to hire them again!

Claudia Major

Crowder, Banks & Associates was an absolute joy to work with. Through the process of building our home, Randy, Edwin, and their entire team had massive attention to detail in every aspect. They were truly perfectionists on every finish (interior & exterior) on our home. Everyone was very easy to communicate with and involved me in the entire building process the entire time. Thank you, CBA, for giving me my dream home I always wanted! We are beyond pleased. You all exceeded all my expectations for what my new house would be and look like, and I am forever grateful for you all!

The Youngs

We recently contracted with Crowder, Banks & Associates to construct an addition to our home in Mountain Air, North Carolina. As President of a commercial development company based in Florida, I have worked with many contractors on various types of construction over the years. I can honestly say that dealing with Randy Banks and the people at Crowder, Banks & Associates was the most pleasant experience I have had in dealing with a General Contractor. CBA exceeded our expectations on many levels during and after the project. We give our highest recommendation to Randy and his company and look forward to working with them on future projects.

Ernie & Tina Euler

Everyone wants a home built on a solid foundation. Crowder, Banks and Associates was our solid foundation. Edwin, Randy, Morgan and all of their subcontractors made building our home, while we were over 600 miles away, a great experience. Everyone was professional, personable, knowledgeable, and committed to us loving our new home. Our build was almost complete when Hurricane Helene hit. Randy and Morgan literally forded waterways and crossed washed out roads to check on our home and give us updates. This is our forever home and could not have imagined anyone else building it.

Tom & Valerie

Crowder Banks and Associates have been helping us with our home at Mountain Air for over 25 years. From our initial meeting with Randy Banks to fix a drainage & foundation problem in 2000, to our latest kitchen complete renovation in 2023, it has always been a positive experience.

Edwin Crowder & Randy Banks are a team. They are on every job with professionalism and quality that would want and expect. When you receive your monthly billing, it will be a full disclosure of everything done during that time period. All materials are shown with receipts, all man hours are listed as to who was there for what hours and exact dates. There is never confusion on “what’s this for?” The attention to detail is noticed in all aspects of the job.

During our numerous additions and renovations of back porch enclosure, new front entrance, 4 complete bathroom renovations and a new kitchen, we always had clear timelines, regular updates and meticulous clean up. We wholeheartedly recommend Crowder, Banks & Associates to anyone seeking reliable and quality construction services.

Joanne & Bruce Bokor

We have used CBA for several projects. They built our current home, remodeled our last home, and built two garages for us. The bottom line is that Randy and Edwin are professional, thorough, and do things right. In the end you will have a high-quality home that exceeds your expectations.

Jim & Becky A.
Randy and Edwin, we want you to know that we cherish our relationship with you. When we gutted our Mountain Air 25 year old house, 6 years ago, you and your team were the most conscientious and detailed group with which we’ve ever dealt. We love our house. You have been there for us whenever needed. Our most recent bump in the road of life was delivered with Hurricane Helene and involved a tree through our downstairs bedroom window. Basically, most of that wall was destroyed. We were off the mountain and unable to return until the roads were restored. You and your team cut through the chaos after the storm and were on the scene stabilizing our home to prevent further damage. Buzz and I knew you would get the house repaired as quickly as possible and you did. It’s our perfect house once again. You are two of the finest human beings we’ve ever known and we’re blessed to have you in our lives.
Colette & Buzz T.
Thank you for helping us bring our dream to reality! Words will not quite express our true appreciation for your expertise, professionalism, skill, craftsmanship and friendship. We had a dream of retiring to the mountains for a long time but we were lost and not sure where to start until we met you. The property we already had became useless and you told us not to worry and helped us find a piece of property that is truly a slice of paradise. Then, the planning phase could have been overwhelming, but you were there every step of the way to ease our concerns and make sure you knew exactly what we wanted. Thank you for being so caring during this important time in our lives. Now the house is finished! Words cannot describe what we feel. We are overwhelmed with the beauty of every detail. We had some unusual requests as well as changes along the way but that never concerned the two of you. Your goal was to please us and fulfill the dream that we held in our hearts. If we could dream it, you could make it work. As you know, we were on the jobs site once a month. We got to know many of the crew that you had working on the house. They are good people. They all reflect your desire to do the job right, pay attention to all the details and make sure we were getting what we wanted. We are so happy and proud of the house that you have built for us. But even more importantly, thank you for your kindness and friendship. That means so much to us as we make our move. It will be easy to call Burnsville our new home. Crowder, Banks and Associates is much more than a construction company. It is a group of good people who care about other people and we are very proud to call them our friends.
Randy & Mandy R.
We had been looking for a mountain home for several months when we saw a house that we liked very much on Apple Mountain in Spruce Pine. Before we made an offer on the property, we wanted to have an architect assess whether or not we could open up several small spaces to give us a large welcoming family area. The architect came and brought with him Randy Banks, and shortly thereafter The Crowder Banks team began to transform our house. We will be forever grateful to the men who worked on our project – the CBA team and the sub-contractors. They were professionals in every way. Edwin Crowder and Randy Banks have done a beautiful job of creating a top-notch company. We were extremely fortunate to have them do our renovation. With a glad heart we highly endorse and recommend Crowder Banks & Associates.

My wife Susan and I contracted with CBA Construction to demo our old log cabin and build us our 3800 square foot “dream home” on the banks of Cattail Creek, in the Pensacola Community of Yancey County. Randy and Edwin were fun and easy to work with, and provided alot of creative ideas to compliment our “mountain home” decor. After moving in and living here for the last six months, we can honestly say that we have not found one flaw in the craftmanship and detail of their work, nor anything we would change or have done differently.
Worth & Susan W.
When I was ready to consider a new home that would be near my daughter and grandchildren, while providing a dignified private space for my mother, I called Randy Banks of Crowder Banks & Associates. Randy helped me develop a custom plan to meet -and exceed- all my needs. In the past, CBA had taken on some renovations at three of my other properties, including my home at Mountain Air Country Club, so we already had a working relationship. On the property I chose, Randy Banks and his team had an older house taken down in a civically conscious manner and the site prepared. Then CBA began construction of my 7,000 sq. ft. Dream Home. The plans included an apartment for my mother, guest rooms for my grandchildren, a media room, extensive storage, dramatic stone and woodwork by local craftsmen and outdoor entertaining space. Throughout the planning and construction, Randy and Edwin were available for my questions and to explain the process. Their crew and the subs were, to a person, respectful, punctual and took pride in their work. As a first-time builder, I relished being able to ask any question any time, without being made to feel like I was in the way. Randy & Edwin excelled at breaking down the process and the enormous number of decisions into manageable pieces. The end result is that I am now in a warm, inviting home that I plan to share with my family and friends for years to come. If I had to do this again, I would not hesitate to call upon Randy Banks and Edwin Crowder.

Crowder, Banks & Associates (CBA) is truly an exceptional, high-quality residential construction contractor. Not only are the principals, Edwin Crowder and Randy Banks, highly experienced, innovative and well-organized, they have also assembled a superior group of craftsmen, subcontractors, suppliers and assistants to keep projects moving forward on a careful budget and timeline. We especially appreciated their attention to detail and process since we were living in Atlanta while our house was being built in Burnsville. They expand their clients’ appreciation by their “after construction” attention to needed adjustments and, where necessary, replacements so that the product of their labors reflects their careful attention.
Jayne & Jim Hasson
It couldn’t have been an easier building process! From the start, Randy & Edwin were so easy to work with. Randy created our House Plans (from the many ideas we had in our brains), and it was absolutely perfect. We didn’t change anything. He understood exactly what we wanted our home to look like from the start and used his Architectural expertise to create our perfect home. Randy & Edwin are both highly experienced and truly talented. The best in the industry! They literally thought of everything for our home. They even helped us narrow down to really help in choosing finishes for our home and made the process so stress free. All I can say is that we LOVE our forever home and would recommend Crowder, Banks & Associates to anyone looking to renovate or build their dream home!
The Buckners

Our architect recommended Crowder, Banks and Associates since they had pleased many of his former clients with their work. From our first meeting with Edwin and Randy, we were impressed by their professionalism, knowledge, and experience. Due to the pandemic and their current work load, we were unable to begin for several months, but once we got started, their subcontractors worked consistently to complete the job.

We were impressed by the high quality of the tradespeople’s work and the overall attention to detail displayed by everyone who worked on the job. After move in, our punch list was cleared quickly and efficiently. We have now lived in our home a little over a year, and we are even happier with it as time goes by.

After Hurricane Helene, we were without power for over 4 months, only running our generator part time each day. Despite single digit temperatures at night, our home never dropped more than a few degrees inside. We felt very blessed to be living in a home built with such care and quality.

While our home was being built, we were out of state and unable to visit frequently. It is rare under those conditions for homeowners to be as happy with the final product as we are. This was largely due to the excellent communication that is a hallmark of their work. They built relationships with us and became some of our first friends in the area. We would recommend Crowder Banks to anyone considering building or remodeling here.

Gary & Marie Gonzalez

“We have had the pleasure of working with Crowder Banks for more than 15 years, and it’s been an absolute joy. Randy Banks and Edwin Crowder go above and beyond, giving each project the time and attention needed to deliver a stellar product. From our initial kitchen and bathroom remodels to the construction of our dream home, Crowder Banks has demonstrated professionalism and a diligent work ethic.

What truly sets Crowder Banks & Associates apart is more than their skill in delivering high-quality and timely work, but the genuine relationship they build with their clients along the way. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to making sure we were completely satisfied at every step of the process made us feel not just like clients, but like partners in the process. Choosing them to build our home was an easy decision, and we are thrilled with the results. Our new home is more than just a house, it’s ‘our happy place,’ and we are beyond grateful to Randy, Edwin, and the entire team at Crowder Banks & Associates for making it a reality.”
