Hi, I’m Brian McCanna, owner of MC Builders. My journey in construction started when I was 25 years old as a framing carpenter. I served an apprenticeship learning both framing and finish carpentry, working alongside family for nearly 10 years. When my dad retired and the economy took a downturn, my two brothers and I each went our separate ways.
I was fortunate to find work with several large union contractors, where I put my skills as a framer and leader to good use—working my way up wherever I could. Then, in 2007, the economy crashed again, and I found myself scraping for any work available. I put together a small crew, and we hit the streets looking for framing jobs—anything that would keep us going.
Our focus on quality and efficiency helped us build a strong reputation, one we still take pride in today. Fast forward 20 years, and we still maintain our own framing crews that work to my standards. I personally oversee all of our framing because I believe it’s one of the most important parts of your new home.
