Baltimore, MD – April 3, 2025 – The Maryland Building Industry Association (MBIA) is proud to announce the winners of its prestigious Maryland Awards of Excellence (MAX+) program, which highlights the finest achievements in the home building and remodeling industry. The ceremony to celebrate this year’s award recipients was on April 3, 2025 at Martins West in Baltimore, gathering hundreds of industry professionals and leaders to honor the recipients’ accomplishments. Sponsored by MBIA’s Sales & Marketing Council and Remodelers and Custom Builders Council, the MAX+ program recognizes exceptional local home builders, remodelers, and custom builders who exemplify excellence in design, livability and value.
The MAX program stands as a beacon of recognition for professionals in the residential construction sector, celebrating their achievements in multiple categories. The coveted MAX+ awards will be presented to those who have demonstrated outstanding performance in key areas such as design, remodeling, custom building, sales and marketing, merchandising, and architecture.
“These awards are an opportunity for us to showcase the very best in our industry,” said Lori Graf, MBIA CEO. “We are thrilled to honor the builders, remodelers, and design professionals whose passion and hard work are shaping the future of Maryland’s communities, providing quality homes that meet the diverse needs and desires of today’s buyers.”
In addition to the MAX+ awards, the Home Builders Care Foundation, the official charity of the Maryland Building Industry Association (MBIA), will present its Community Service Awards. The Home Builders Care Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides donated construction expertise to other non-profits focused on shelter and housing. The Community Service Award recognizes individuals and organizations that have gone above and beyond in giving back to their communities. These awards honor those who have made a significant impact through their philanthropic efforts, such as supporting shelter-related initiatives, providing housing for those in need, or offering valuable services that improve the quality of life for individuals and families in Maryland.
This year’s Community Builder Award winners are Toll Brothers, Beazer Homes and Stanley Martin Homes. The Tom Sawyer Award winners are 84 Lumber, Current Cabinetry, Chesapeake Plumbing & Heating and Delmarva Insulation.
“The Community Service Awards shine a light on the generosity and selflessness of those who use their time, skills, and resources to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others,” said Patti Kane, Foundation Director. “We are proud to recognize these outstanding individuals and organizations for their unwavering commitment to bettering their communities.”
