Company History of Debris Removal Experience

CrowderGulf had its beginnings in 1969 when two brothers, John and Woodie Ramsay, farmers in southwest Alabama and recent Auburn University graduates, were directly affected by Hurricane Camille. John and Woodie joined forces with locals in Mississippi and worked to clean up Biloxi and much of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Their Company has evolved and grown over the last 40 years, working all major natural disasters throughout the Southeast.  In 1984, they began doing business as Gulf Equipment Corporation, an Alabama General Contractor licensed in seven Southeastern states.  Based on the work generated, John and Woodie developed three divisions in Gulf Equipment: tower erection, construction, and disaster management.

Today, CrowderGulf Joint Venture, officially created in 1994 and headquartered in Mobile County, AL, continues as a family-owned business with John as President and Woodie as Vice President. CrowderGulf now has satellite offices in Florida, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia, and has done contracted disaster debris work in twelve states including AL, FL, KS, KY, MS, LA, GA, TX, NC, SC, VA and NY.

CrowderGulf has removed, reduced and disposed of more than 100,000,000 cubic yards of debris through more than 170 contracts. CrowderGulf successfully managed simultaneous debris removal contracts in multiple cities, counties, municipalities and states.  These contracts involved disaster debris work in all eligible areas identified in FEMA's Public Assistance Program, Category A.

The knowledge, experience, commitment, and dedication of CrowderGulf's management team, and our large number of dedicated subcontractors, have been the key factors in every project being successfully completed. Our ability to work closely as team players with multiple individuals and various agendas has been crucial in the success of all our contracts.
