Specializing in handyman & renovation services since 1999. Home Improvement Express (HI) was originally started by Jonathan Brooks. The company quickly grew into a large, local custom home remodeling and construction company. Today it is one of the largest companies in the area and still offers a full range of handyman and renovation services for all budgets.

In late 2002, Joe Banks bought the company. With a passion for home remodeling and construction, he and his partner, Travis LeBlanc, quickly expanded the service offerings and expanded their work force. The company continues to build upon its success and today provides services to several different areas including: home improvements, remodel, and construction, as well as the construction and maintenance of residential and commercial properties. Their remodel services and other specialty projects have garnered many awards from local, national, and even international remodeling and home improvement magazines, and have won more than a few industry awards as well.

Joe Banks started with a dream in his mind about owning a company that would offer custom remodel services. It wasn’t until he had built a successful remodel business in the past that he decided to take on his first customer. It was his wife, Mary Banks. They had been married for over thirty years and they loved their house; however, they were not very happy with its current condition. Mary wanted a complete makeover and Joe were thrilled. He decided to remodel her home with some of the same techniques that he used for remodels of homes around the country.

When Joe remodeled Mary Banks’ home, she was so excited she couldn’t stop talking about it! She knew she could do no less than the best. This meant hiring a company with the necessary knowledge and experience. Home Improvement Express was looking for a contractor who had worked with homes like Mary’s in the past. She wanted a person who knew exactly what she wanted and was willing to work around her wants and needs in order to get it.

Before they could start any custom home remodel, they needed to hire a construction manager. This manager would take care of all the aspects of the remodel project. He would handle everything from starting to complete and ensure that everything was done properly and in a timely manner.

In fact, one of Joe’s best friends was the manger of Home Improvement Express, Jonathan Banks. They talked and laughed for hours. He knew the company was special and wanted to help them grow.
