Why we started
Joe Saunders spent 25 years in consulting engineering designing bridges before starting this business to install carbon fiber foundation repairs. He saw too many homeowners pay for repairs that treated the symptom instead of the cause.
We built MCA Foundations around a simple idea: understand why the foundation is moving, explain it in plain language, and recommend the repair that fits, even when the answer is that you need less than you were told.
