Founded in 1976

Over Thirty years ago Scott Smith, Jake Smith and Larry Rader made the decision to quit their jobs with a poured wall contractor in Bath, Ohio and start their own concrete poured wall company in Penfield Township. Modern Poured Walls, Inc. was formed with the three partners, five employees and the equipment necessary to construct high-quality poured wall basements. During its initial year of business, Modern Poured Walls was hired to pour 150 basements.

In the last thirty years many things have changed in the construction industry from techniques and products, to the contractors performing the work. One constant in the Northern Ohio area has been the professional service and guaranteed quality workmanship Modern Poured Walls has been delivering.

That is not to say that we have not changed. We have undergone many transformations and varying degrees of growth and change. During the mid-1980s to the present Excavating services, Concrete Flatwork, Waterproofing, and Commercial construction services have all been added as industry needs and vision led Modern Poured Walls down a path of diversification.

Today Modern Poured Walls (MPW) employs a staff of more than 110 employees. Our ability to deliver first-class service to our customers is achieved through the use of our greatest resource - our employees. Hardworking, detailed-oriented production staff and knowledgeable, courteous account representatives and office staff put us above the competition.

Modern Poured Walls handles both residential and commercial work. Residential construction represents about 75 percent of the company's volume. We travel to construction sites from East of Concord to Marblehead to the west and from Lake Erie to Mansfield.
