In 1997, after only 6 years with R.E. Crawford Construction, Inc. Jeff’s early determination to provide high-quality workmanship while meeting the most demanding schedules quickly drew the attention of upper management. Jeff worked his way through the ranks from Project Superintendent to President of the REC office in Sarasota, Florida; responsible for the Southeastern United States. He later went on to purchase R.E. Crawford Construction LLC in February 2006. Today, R.E. Crawford Construction LLC continues the tradition of providing uncompromised service to its national clients throughout the United States and Canada.
