About Us — Crawford Designs
Premium Home Systems & Exterior Solutions
· Practical guides for serious homeowners
Crawford Designs is an independent publication dedicated to premium home systems and exterior solutions. We translate complex specs into clear choices so you can invest in what actually improves comfort, durability, and long-term value.
The name is a quiet nod to architect William Crawford—a spirit of craft, restraint, and climate-aware detailing we admire. This site follows that ethos: build well, choose deliberately, and respect the envelope that protects the home.

Editorial
Approach
Our guides are written by practitioners, editors, and engineers with experience across residential projects. When we note pricing, it reflects current market ranges and install realities; when we rank, we state the criteria in plain language.
How we work
Field-first criteria: performance under climate, install complexity, serviceability, warranties, and total cost of ownership (not just MSRP).
