What It Means to Be a Licensed Contractor
A contractor’s license verifies that they are legally authorized to perform construction work and meet state requirements for operating professionally. Licensing typically involves background checks, experience verification, and compliance with construction regulations.
Working with a licensed contractor helps ensure:
- Work can be legally permitted and inspected
- Contracts are enforceable
- There is accountability if issues arise
- The contractor meets established industry standards
BuildLux operates under MHIC License #153730 (registered under AR Concrete LLC).
This ensures our work meets Maryland’s legal, safety, and construction requirements.
You can verify our license directly through the Maryland Department of Labor:

What Insurance Actually Protects You From
Insurance is what protects property owners when something goes wrong. A properly insured contractor carries coverage that safeguards the project, the crew, and the client.
At BuildLux, coverage includes:
- General liability insurance to protect against property damage and third-party claims
- Workers’ compensation so clients are not liable for jobsite injuries
- Commercial auto insurance covering vehicles and equipment used on your project
Without proper insurance, liability can fall directly on the property owner — even if the incident wasn’t their fault.
