Craig Smith has been part of Gilcrest/Jewett’s Waukee team since 2012, bringing more than two decades of experience in the building materials industry. He first joined Gilcrest/Jewett in Altoona in 2004 and later transitioned to Waukee, where he continues to serve customers as a member of the outside sales team.
Craig’s background in plan design and blueprint work naturally led him into the construction field, where he enjoys helping customers bring their projects to life. His typical day revolves around taking care of customer needs, providing timely bids, and ensuring each job runs smoothly from start to finish.
One product Craig believes customers should know more about is composite decking—especially for its durability, low maintenance, and long-term value.
Motivated, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile, Craig prides himself on understanding each customer’s goals and “figuring out what the customer wants versus needs.” With years of experience and a strong focus on customer relationships, he’s built lasting partnerships with builders and clients across the region. His proudest achievements include acquiring new builders and helping them grow their businesses.
When he’s not working, Craig enjoys golfing, camping, and spending time with family and friends.
