About Us

In 1974, Carl & Betty Crider, along with their sons, Rick, Mike & Terry, and daughter, Kelli, took a risk and started a side-business. They started with next-to-nothing and rarely got to give themselves a paycheck in the beginning, but they kept working hard. By 1979, they had enough work-on-hand to turn their side-business into a full-time business, and they officially formed a Texas corporation. Up through the late 80’s, all the work was done by Carl Crider & his sons, and the office work was handled by his wife, Betty Crider, and their daughter, Kelli Crider. After years of dedication, Carl & Betty retired from the business in 2017. Today, Frontier Waterproofing has over 30 full-time employees, plus seasonal and part-time employees, and is a well-known company in their niche market. The business is still a family-owned and operated business, currently owned & operated by the 2nd & 3rd generations (and the 4th generation isn’t far behind – Carl & Betty have 16 great-grandchildren and counting)!

Frontier Waterproofing’s work is best described as Historic Masonry Restoration. The majority of our work involves cleaning, restoring, and preserving the exterior facade of historic buildings all over the country. Our projects include military and federal buildings, historic buildings, churches, universities, high rise buildings, hospitals, hotels, and commercial buildings, Some of the most intricate and notable projects completed by Frontier Waterproofing include the George Rogers Clark Memorial in Vincennes, Indiana, the Scotia Centre Bank in Kingston, Jamaica, The Pythian Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center in Fort Worth, Texas, and the Galveston Federal Building in Galveston, Texas. Frontier Waterproofing has been honored to have these opportunities to take part in the preservation of our nation’s history through architecture.
