Cavanaugh Motors Fabrication Job
Crawford Division: Commercial Sheet Metal
Client: Cavanaugh's Motors, Monmouth, IL
Challenge: Deliver exterior panel project on time and within budget
Project Summary:
In a countrywide effort GM wants to make its new dealerships visually enticing to buyers, along with moving them away from the look and feel associated with "old GM" showrooms. As part of the remodeling, exterior entryways and reception areas are being revamped. Cavanaugh Motors called on Crawford Company to help them out with their remodeling project. The old metal "shed” soffit and entire canopy was removed from the building. New plywood and insulation was installed along with a new "tower” entry to prepare it for its new look. Crawford Company was challenged with installing new alpolic wall panels on the buildings exterior. Several challenges were met throughout the project with trying to fit straight line wall panels onto an old unlevel building.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING
I appreciate your expertise discussing my air conditioning project and our little doodles on paper for the finer points and needs. I enjoyed the personal attention to detail. I was impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of engineering, organizing, timing and installation. I'm so glad that we still have union contractors that know how to do things right. As you know I have worked 37 years thru the IBEW # 145. On larger projects we would be assigned a "tool buddy" to work in the same area and help each other when needed. The reason I mention this is because Jeff O'Leary is the kind of journeyman I would choose to work with. He is polite, calm, well-spoken and knowledgeable. Of course an HVAC system is not a kit. It is a custom installation. Jeff made it easy to discuss the finer points and the installation as needed. I enjoyed the experience and I am very pleased with the outcome. The air is fresh and clean and easy to breath.
