Company Profile
McCarthy has been a community builder for nearly 150 years. Founded as a family owned business, we are now 100% employee owned. Across America each employee has a personal stake in our company's future. The net result? An empowering and entrepreneurial environment directed towards providing clients with creative and value-oriented building solutions.
While much has changed over the years, many significant things have not. First and foremost, we're builders. Self-performance remains the foundation of our business. The rock on which we all stand. Couple this hands-on approach with a passionate belief in our people; a desire to build relationships based on trust and integrity; and a deeply-felt obligation to give back to our communities. Now, you begin to understand what lies at the heart of McCarthy—what truly sets us apart.
