By national ratios Charleston supports about 10 full-time foundation specialist pros — a small market where one or two well-reviewed businesses cover most of the demand. That is smaller than most United States cities we cover. 63 % of homes are owner-occupied, so the work skews toward owners who decide and pay themselves — repairs, upgrades and maintenance plans. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
