Banker Contracting is a Cambridge residential general contractor led by Aaron Banker, presenting itself as a remodeling, additions, and custom-home company with carpentry at its center. Homeowners call the team for detailed work on older houses, decks and porches, additions, bathrooms, windows, and other renovation projects. Recent Google reviewers repeatedly describe careful craftsmanship, responsive communication, tidy work, and projects delivered on time and on budget. Their examples range from a front-porch rebuild and a 10-window replacement to a complex roof rebuild, multi-level decks, additions, and work on century-old homes. A 2025 review specifically praised the new porch railing, while another described the team's handling of a substantial two-family-house remodel. Before booking, clarify the scope and communication plan: one older reviewer rated a bathroom remodel 4.5 stars because of a few miscommunications, while still praising the quality, timing, and honesty. Directory listings describe a small remodeling operation and show one BuildZoom project, so confirm current availability, subcontractor roles, and the timeline for a larger project. This looks like a strong fit for homeowners seeking finish-focused carpentry and coordinated residential remodeling, especially on older or architecturally particular homes. Ask for a written scope, schedule, and examples matching your project before signing.
“Banker Contracting LLC is a small residential general contractor based in Cambridge, MA. We specialize in high quality detail oriented remodeling, additions and custom homes.”
We recently finished an addition on our home and couldn't be more happy. We partnered with Banker Construction to share our vision and bring it to life. We initially chose the company for their attention to detail, fair and competitive price, as well as their clear and responsive communication. This continued throughout construction, both with Aaron Banker himself, but also with his team. We got to know his team, as they were a consistent presence throughout. Unexpected but perhaps one of the most important aspects of our collaboration turned out to be working together as thought partners. As with every project, there are several points of decision making, and they took the time to think through options and support us in figuring out what looked or worked best for us. We could not be more happy with our experience as well as the final results!
Aaron and his team recently replaced our old wall to wall carpet with hardwood floors, and did a great job matching to the original hardwood. I was impressed that they finished the floor in one day. The crew was very friendly and left the house spotless when they were finished. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend them!
This contractor is awesome. They know their business and they execute at a very high level.
I have used Aaron and his team at Banker Contracting a handful of times over the past few years, each time with excellent results. Whether it is restoring the facade of a historic building, building a massive multi-level deck, or simply remodeling a bathroom, the team works meticulously and efficiently to get the project done - and done right! Aaron will always be my call moving forward!
We contacted Aaron and his team during a very stressful time in our lives, compounded by a dishwasher leak that destroyed half our kitchen. Aaron's kind and patient demeanor truly carried us through that horrible time period. We appreciated his ability to schedule us within a reasonable timeframe, and being willing to take on the job, even though it wasn't large. It is hard to find a contractor who is both technically savvy and a good communicator, but Aaron is both. It may not be the cheapest quote you will receive - but if quality work, trust and transparency are important to you, then you will find Aaron and his team excellent value.
