About John Crawford Towers
Three Decades of Building What Connects Us
Our Story
Built on Precision. Sustained by Trust.
John Crawford Towers was founded in 1994 by John Crawford, a licensed structural engineer who saw a gap in the market for a tower contractor that combined engineering rigor with field-level craftsmanship. Starting with a single crew in the California, the company grew project by project, earning carrier approvals, expanding into satellite systems, and building a reputation for on-time, on-spec delivery.
Today we operate in 42 states, maintaining long-term relationships with the nation's largest wireless carriers, broadcast networks, and government agencies. Our crews are OSHA-certified, our processes are ISO-aligned, and our safety record speaks for itself: zero lost-time incidents in the last eight years.
We don't chase volume. We take on projects where our expertise adds real value, complex sites, tight timelines, and structures that have to perform for decades. That focus has kept our clients coming back, and our crews proud of the work they do.

Carrier-Grade Execution
We know carrier specs before you send them. Our crews have built to AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish standards for decades.
