Crow Bar Constructors, Inc. is a premier residential construction company specializing in custom homes and luxury remodel projects in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area.
Cole Smith, Jr., president and owner of Crow Bar, started the company in 1985. The son of a well-known and highly respected architect, Cole has over thirty-five years experience in the construction industry, building homes and commercial projects in Texas and Florida. Cole has a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Technology with construction licenses in Texas and Florida.
In 1990, Cathy Hovey joined the company as Crow Bar's Operations Executive. Cathy has a Master of Arts from Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts and twenty-five years of management experience in custom home building, government housing and contracts, purchasing and facilities management.
In addition to Cole and Cathy, the company has three full time Superintendents and a reserve of some of the best skilled subcontractors, craftsmen, and artisans in the Southwest. Crow Bar's attention to detail and quality as well as Cole's extensive knowledge in architecture has earned the company the respect and admiration of the area's best architects and designers.
Crow Bar purposely remains a small company to avoid a "production line" approach to custom home building as well as insuring that excessive overhead costs are not passed on to the clients. Crow Bar's philosophy is to focus on no more than three major custom home or remodel projects at one time. This allows the company's owner, Cole Smith, Jr., the ability to give each client the personal attention, time and commitment that they deserve to turn their "dream house" into a reality.
