Over 35 Years of Award Winning Custom Home Building Services

Superior craftsmanship, personal attention, and complete customization are the hallmarks of a Robin Ford home. For more than three decades, Robin Ford and his team of craftsmen have built the finest custom homes and renovations in Carroll County, Maryland and the surrounding region. Our commitment to quality has led to our designation as a Certified Green Professional, Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist, Indoor airPlus partner, and ENERGY STAR® Partner. When you work with Robin Ford Building and Remodeling, Inc., you receive consistent, transparent communication, and personal attention from Robin, who visits the job site on a regular basis to ensure our standards are upheld. Contact us today to schedule a consultation, and see why Carroll County residents have voted us as “Carroll’s Best” 16 consecutive years and counting.

We are Maryland’s only member of the exclusive Southern Living Custom Builder program, which selects builders for their experience and reputation for building homes that display excellence in craftsmanship and architecture.

Building a home involves much more than craftsmanship and design – it’s about forming lasting, personal relationships and understanding our clients’ needs. Robin himself regularly visits the job site, ensuring that our rigorous standards for quality are upheld. We communicate consistently throughout the process and provide complete transparency on any unexpected difficulties that arise during construction. In our 30-plus years in Carroll County, we’ve earned a reputation for quality, integrity, and fairness.

Robin Ford Building and Remodeling, Inc., continues to earn the annual ‘Carroll’s Best’ recognition as voted by Carroll County residents.

As a lifelong Carroll County resident, Robin is committed to the community. We participate in a number of charitable events, including sponsorship of Taste of Carroll, which helps support programs and services provided by Carroll Hospice and Dove House.  Since its inception in 1999, Taste of Carroll has raised over half a million dollars for Carroll Hospice. Shirlyn has had the privilege of serving as Chair and Co-Chair for the event and continues to serve yearly on the Taste of Carroll planning committee.

A Robin Ford custom home is more than just a beautiful design, it’s engineered to create a healthy living space and meet the highest standards for energy efficiency. As part of our commitment to Green Living, Robin Ford Building and Remodeling, Inc., is a certified partner in the following programs:

Certified Green Professional

Our Certified Green Professional (CGP) accreditation affirms our commitment to incorporating green building principles into our custom homes, without increasing construction costs. This translates into lower energy costs and higher value for our clients. The designation requires 24 hours of NAHB-approved training, and additional continuing education every three years. Subjects covered in training discuss how green homes provide buyers with lower energy costs and higher value, and will include strategies for incorporating green-building principles into homes without driving up the cost of construction. The CGP designation recognizes a high degree of professional competence and requires a signed Code of Ethics.

Indoor airPLUS Partner

Robin Ford Building and Remodeling, Inc. partners with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Indoor airPLUS Program to promote homes that provide homeowners with improved indoor air quality.

To earn the Indoor airPLUS label, a home must meet strict guidelines for reducing poor indoor air quality. Indoor airPLUS qualified homes offer homebuyers all the features they want in a new home, moisture and mold control, radon-resistant construction, pest barriers, effective heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems, safe combustion and healthier building materials.

Energy Star Partner

We are proud to offer new homes that have earned the ENERGY STAR® label. The ENERGY STAR label means better quality, better comfort, better durability, and standards well above other homes in the market today. It also means that your new home is a better value for today and a better investment for tomorrow. An ENERGY STAR certified home has undergone a better process for inspections, testing, and verification to ensure that it meets strict requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

PEACE OF MIND. THE RESULT OF A HOME THAT’S BUILT BETTER.

With the ENERGY STAR label on your new home, you can be confident that it will deliver. When ENERGY STAR requirements are applied to new home construction, an integrated approach to design combined with tried-and-true best building practices adds up to a durable, comfortable home with reduced utility and maintenance costs. Our ENERGY STAR certified homes have undergone more inspections and testing than typical homes to ensure that your new home was built to higher standards.

ENDURING QUALITY. BETTER SYSTEMS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

Purchasing a new home is a big investment, so it’s important to be sure that it’s built to last. We’ve designed all of our new ENERGY STAR certified homes to include value-adding energy efficiency features, and a combination of materials and equipment that will deliver better performance.

BUILDING CARING RELATIONSHIPS one client at a time

If you were to ask our clients why we’re different, we believe that you would hear slightly different answers from each because no two of our clients are alike in their goals, values and needs. The common thread between them, though, would be our emphasis on building caring and connected relationships. We learn what makes each client unique, then personalize a plan and a client experience that is right for them.

Our whole-hearted approach to caring for your financial well-being.

ADVICE with a purpose

We help our clients pursue their greatest purposes in life by demystifying financial planning and bringing alignment between their goals and finances. As financial advisors, we provide clarity during and through transitions such as retirement, selling a business, the loss of a spouse or managing an inheritance.  We sweat the details of a financial plan so that our clients don’t have to.

While each member of our close-knit and collaborative team brings different areas of expertise, our common focus is on you – and how we can best apply our individual knowledge and experience to serve your goals and needs. While we collectively serve as the one central point for all of your financial matters, we invite you to consult us on any important aspect of your life that can benefit from the trusted guidance of people who know and care about you.

PERSONALIZINGA PLAN to your goals

A customized financial plan serves as the “how-to” for pursuing and potentially achieving your goals. Our process gives us an orderly way to identify relevant strategies for moving forward and fully addressing your needs. Here are the basic steps that outline the process we use for building your financial plan.

We want to begin by just listening to you and getting to know you and your family. This will help us gain a good understanding of your personal goals, current financial situation, investment experience and risk tolerance. We’ll also make you aware of our capabilities and explain the services we offer that can help you meet your objectives.

Next, we will analyze what you’ve shared with us in order to design your plan. This step may include collaborating with your other professional advisors such as your accountant and attorney. We present our recommendations to you, answer your questions, consider alternatives and outline the steps we need to take to implement your plan.

With your approval, we will execute your customized strategy using the extensive research and resources available to us through Raymond James. This involves the selection of specific account types, investment products and optional services, and the handling of all necessary paperwork.

Once your plan is implemented, we will stay in constant communication to be in step with your life as we monitor the progress of your plan and suggest any changes where needed. After all, we care about your goals as much as you do. A key to this step is that you keep us informed about any significant changes in your life.

About the Kairos name

The Ancient Greeks had two ways of defining time. “Chronos” referred to measurable time – days, years, centuries, etc. But they also believed that there was a special place in time where truly significant things occurred; moments of true clarity. This abstract period of time was known as “Kairos.” Life is full of Kairos moments as we progress through our days, often at times of transitions with births, deaths, marriage, retirement, etc.

For our clients, we are with them through these momentous times, planning in advance whenever possible and crafting solutions as needed during pivotal periods of change. We seek the clarity of Kairos as we learn of our clients’ hopes and dreams throughout the continuum of their lives.
