About

Who We Are


Foundations First is a family-owned and operated company based in Eldersburg, Maryland that provides quality poured foundations throughout Maryland and surrounding areas. The organization was founded in 1998, when after 15 years working in concrete construction, Ron Smith decided to apply his knowledge and expertise to start his own company. Over the last 20 years, we have developed a significant presence in the region and established a benchmark for excellence in the residential construction industry. Following in the footsteps of his father, Nick Smith has managed the company since 2012, maintaining our reputation for superior quality, attention to detail and customer satisfaction.
