ALC Home Contractors Frequently Asked questions
ALC Contractors is a registered Maryland Home Builder, # 4755 as well as the Maryland Home Improvement Commission, # 45869. We are also a member of (MBIA) Maryland Building Industry Association and (NAHB) National Association of homebuilders. We maintain both liability insurance and worker’s compensation insurance at all times to ensure that our clients are fully protected.
Founded in 1993, ALC Contractors has been growing steadily with “A” excellence in design and mastery of craftsmanship for 26 years. We build new custom homes, green homes, home additions, garages, custom decks and patios, home theaters and we are also experts in kitchen remodeling.
A “design/build” company is a company that combines both the architectural and building construction components under one roof. A primary strength of the design build process is that it allows you to integrate the strength of an architectural firm with the pricing capabilities of a construction company. One major advantage is that we are better able to control costs of custom homes and home improvement costs to match your budget.
Energy Efficient Homes
We are proud to build green homes. All of our employees are enrolled in continuing education to stay up to date on all the latest trends and technologies in making all of our custom homes energy efficient. Currently, we use engineered lumber, composite decking materials such as Trex, Timbertech and Alcoa products; tankless water heaters, high efficiency heating and air conditioning systems, and energy efficient windows and doors. We use brand name ENERGY STAR products. Owner Andrew Lohmeyer is now a Certified Green Professional (CGP). The National Association of Home Builders’ Certified Green Professional Designation teaches builders, remodelers and other industry professionals techniques for incorporating green building principles into homes—without driving up the cost of construction.
