Get to Know the Team Behind a Trusted General Contractor
Since we started, E. L. Crawford Construction, Inc. in St. Joseph, MO has remained as one of the most dependable general contractors in the area. We have a team that has been with the company for many years, and they are eager to take care of our customers and construction needs.
Nodaway Valley Bank started working with E.L. Crawford when we acquired the Blue Valley Federal Savings Bank in Savannah, in 1990. NVB expanded to St. Joseph in 1995 and E.L. Crawford was the successful bidder for the construction of the facility at 4001 N Belt HWY. My father started the Crawford relationship with E.L. and Kelly and I came on board in 1997 and from there we expanded to Riverside Road, and Kelly Crawford continued to build for NVB.
Over the last 20+ years, Kawasaki Motors Mfg. Corp USA has partnered with E.L Crawford on a variety of projects. From large projects, including a 100,000 sq. ft. building addition, and service road with truck entrance, and a guard house, to smaller projects like walkways and roof repairs. They have even been counted on to do emergency repairs from weather damage and helped keep the factory up and running. I know I can trust them to do a quality job at a fair price; no matter the size of the job.
"E.L. Crawford does a tremendous job. The biggest part for me was their availability and communication. It went down so quickly and smoothly! It was big on two fronts, the operation of doing it and the quality of work. Both were supurb...and they didn’t have to go back and adjust anything. For them not to have to come back and adjust anything was simply impressive.”
Steadfast Leadership
Under the guidance of Eric S. Moore, E. L. Crawford Construction, Inc. is able to offer exceptional construction services. He encourages us to always follow small-town values and use strategic approaches when handling big projects.
