Nestled in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills at over 3,000 feet elevation, Foresthill is a tight-knit mountain community of approximately 1,700 residents (2024 estimates) known for its towering ponderosa pines, stunning views of the American River Canyon, and the iconic Foresthill Bridge – the highest bridge by deck height in California. With a rich Gold Rush history and a growing number of custom homes, ranches, and rural properties, Foresthill homeowners and businesses need excavation contractors who understand steep terrain, rocky soil, septic requirements, wildfire defensibility, and Placer County permitting.

That’s where Modern Era Construction shines.
