He built a beautiful home behind our house and we worked together on building a block wall for privacy. He also helped us out by adding another block wall on the other side of our property. He didn't have to do the since it had nothing to do with the home he was building but he took the time and effort to help us out. He was also so helpful in providing us with advise and contacts for other projects we had going. **Comment from American Tradition Builders, Inc.:** > Dear Angie, > Thank you very much for your kind words and wonderful review.

Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is nothing like I have ever seen before. Mr. Banner is extremely hands on during the entire building process. His ability to visualize what the end product will look like helps during the rough phases of construction. > I recently told Craig "as soon as my wife and I are ready to build a new house, we will be calling you". > Jay Arnett **★★★★★ — First Impression Ironworks, Sept. 2015** > American Traditional Builders are regarded as an industry leader and I am proud to be their partner.

Craig Banner and his team demonstrated the utmost professionalism. Craig is a very creative individual with a unique talent for designing and executing even under challenging circumstances. Craig's attention to detail and service did not stop when the home was completed, it just continued. The true test of customer satisfaction is whether you would recommend the builder to others. We have and will continue to recommend ATB to our friends and family and anyone who asks. **Comment from American Tradition Builders, Inc.:** > Dear Jeffrey, > Thank you very much for your kind words and wonderful review.

This is a very honest and ethical builder I would recommend ATB highly. **Comment from American Tradition Builders, Inc.:** > Dear Marty, > Thank you very much for your kind words and wonderful review.

We really appreciate it. **★★★★★ — rustydavis6, Sept. 2015** > I am a professional Realtor and have been for 37 years. I have known and worked with Craig Banner 20+ years. Craig is an honest and excellent professional custom builder. Whether it is a kitchen remodel or a big custom home on top of a mountain, he will check and account for every last detail. I have worked with Craig a number of times and he is always precise and has an attention to detail few can match. His level of quality puts him in a class of only a few at the top. We have worked many times strictly on a handshake - rare in today's world. Craig should be on any short final list for choosing a builder. > Rusty D. **Comment from American Tradition Builders, Inc.:** > Dear Rusty, > Thank you very much for your kind words and wonderful review. We really appreciate it. **★★★★★ — gws12, Sept. 2015** > Craig Banner and ATB came highly recommended for a kitchen remodel (( plus a number of other renovation projects, including pool, landscaping, new irrigation system, exterior painting and other work - a big set of projects) by real estate agent who has often helped us in PV area. From the start we were impressed by the ease of working with ATB. We have done remodeling of prior homes in Chicago and AZ . We explained what we wanted and what we wanted to pay. Craig made several suggestions and gave us excellent ideas for how to proceed. I want to highlight a few reasons why the experience has been excellent. These projects are always stressful and issues come up. With ATB, we have had good communication throughout, the quality of work has been excellent, well-qualified subs have been hired to handle other projects with good oversight by ATB, the project is on schedule and all of our expectations are being met. The most important attribute has been Craig Banners integrity. I'll give one example. After the project started, we had a major plumbing problem come up that good not be anticipated. It could have torpedoed the the project. Craig came up with a solution, gave us a fair price and has kept the project on track. We are very satisfied. **Comment from American Tradition Builders, Inc.:** > Dear George, > Thank you very much for your kinds words and wonderful review. We really appreciate it. ## Selected projects - [Traditional Transitions to Soft Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-transitions-to-soft-contemporary-pj-vj~1416438) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 37 - [California Mission Meets The Hamptons](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/california-mission-meets-the-hamptons-pj-vj~1275787) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 34 - [French Country Inspired](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/french-country-inspired-pj-vj~1275676) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 41 - [Reformed Spanish Colonial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reformed-spanish-colonial-pj-vj~1305308) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - [Spanish Colonial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spanish-colonial-pj-vj~1275719) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Classic French Formal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-french-formal-pj-vj~1299786) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [My Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/my-projects-pj-vj~1251036) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [A Paradise in Paradise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-paradise-in-paradise-pj-vj~1299715) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - [Nestled Against Mummy Mountain](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nestled-against-mummy-mountain-pj-vj~1299766) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Santa Barbara Golden Era](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/santa-barbara-golden-era-pj-vj~1275546) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 86 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/american-tradition-builders-inc-pfvwus-pf~1989782576) ## Ideabooks - [@Burrell walls](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/93020341/list/burrell-walls) — 6 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/americantraditionbuilders) ## Community Q&A **Q: What kind of wood floors?** *(in Photo Questions)* Wood floors A: These are an engineered hickory hand hewed wood floor **Q: is this house for sale?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi, This home which is located in Paradise Valley, AZ, was a build to suit and as far as I know the owners are not thinking of selling.
