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.

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.
