American Home Contractors

When Steve Lozinsky founded American Home Contractors in 1986 from Fulton, Maryland, the home improvement industry was still a handshake business. Success was built on the quality of work and the strength of a promise. Nearly four decades later, that foundation hasn’t changed—the company still treats every homeowner’s roof as if it were their own, still shows up when they say they will, and still honors warranties years after installation. What has changed is everything else. The company that began in exterior remodeling and roofing has evolved into a solar pioneer, becoming one of the few contractors certified to install both Tesla Solar Roof and GAF Energy solar systems throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. From their headquarters in Fulton and additional location in Chantilly, Virginia, American Home Contractors serves homeowners across Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. The breadth of their service area reflects the trust they’ve built—these aren’t markets conquered through aggressive expansion, but communities earned through decades of reliable work. Today, the company operates under the leadership of Nick Zavala, who has guided the business through its digital transformation while keeping founder Steve Lozinsky’s original vision intact. They’ve added drone roof inspections, real-time project tracking, and transparent digital estimates, but the core mission remains unchanged: treat people fairly and do the job right the first time. As a GAF Master Elite contractor—a distinction held by only the top 2% of contractors in North America—and a James Hardie Preferred Remodeler, American Home Contractors brings manufacturer-backed expertise to every solar installation in Maryland and beyond. Their Tesla Certified Installer credentials have positioned them as leaders in integrated solar roofing, a technology that appeals to homeowners who want clean energy without sacrificing curb appeal. The company’s solar panel installations include traditional rooftop arrays, Tesla Solar Roof systems, and battery storage solutions like the Tesla Powerwall 3, giving homeowners backup power during outages and true energy independence. For Maryland homeowners exploring solar energy, American Home Contractors offers the rare combination of deep roofing expertise and cutting-edge solar knowledge—a pairing that matters when your solar system is mounted to the most critical component of your home. The same crew that understands how to protect your roof from Mid-Atlantic weather also knows how to maximize solar production across the region’s varying climate conditions. With reportedly over 5,000 customer reviews and a 5.0-star rating across multiple platforms, the company has built its reputation one roof and one solar installation at a time. They don’t subcontract installation work to outside crews—every project is completed by their own trained employees, ensuring consistency and accountability from estimate to final inspection. That consistency has earned them BBB accreditation and recognition as a Best Pick certified company in the Baltimore and Northern Virginia markets. As the company celebrates 40 years in business in 2026, their Brand President was honored as the 2025 RT3 Innovator of the Year, recognizing their leadership in advancing roofing and solar technology. It’s a milestone that underscores what sets them apart in an increasingly crowded home improvement market: longevity, innovation, and a genuine commitment to the communities they serve. In an industry where fly-by-night contractors leave homeowners stranded with failed warranties, American Home Contractors’ four decades of continuous operation offer something invaluable—the assurance that they’ll still be answering the phone ten years from now.
