Blending Salt Air, Skill, and Community into Every Home We Build…
At Banks Builders, we believe building a home on the Crystal Coast should feel as natural as the tides that shape our shoreline. A build that not only includes materials and measurements, skilled teams, and clear expectations, but also the surrounding land and the people who call this place home. That belief starts with the owner, Justin Petrilli.
A Carteret County native, Justin grew up on the waters of Morehead City, where fishing wasn’t just a hobby. He spent his younger years traveling the sportfishing circuit as a competitive angler, earning a reputation for grit, precision, and teamwork. But the call of home in Cape Carteret brought him back. Today, he brings that same passion and precision to the homes he builds.
Justin’s love for fishing keeps him connected to the community and the environment we all share. That connection is part of what makes Banks Builders different from other custom home builders. We live here. We work here. We fish here. We raise our families here.
Each June, the excitement around the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament fills the air in Morehead City. For Justin, it’s more than just a world-class fishing event, it’s a reminder of everything this community represents: heritage, hard work, and a place that brings people together. That same spirit drives every home Banks Builders builds.
