New Home Consultant: Lamont Alford
Lamont joined Chesmar Homes after attending Texas Southern University, gaining expertise with Centex Homes and a time in the mortgage business. He is known for his soft spoken style and his professionalism.
When not in the sales office, Lamont can be found spending time with his children, working out and reading. Balance and organization are Lamont's watch words both at work and at home.
That philosophy pays off for his customers. He works hard to keep the details organized and the customer up to date on on every phase of the construction process, to ensure them a pleasurable buying experience. Chesmar Homes is proud to have Lamont on their team!
Construction Manager: Craig Spriggs
Following his graduation from East Texas Baptist University with a degree in Business Administration, Craig decided to try his hand at residential construction. He was able to successfully transition his business acumen to construction management. Chesmar Homes’ buyers will value Craig’s professionalism and work ethic, which is apparent with each home he builds.
Craig’s motto is “work hard and when it is time to play, play hard.” When it is time to play he can usually be found hunting, fishing or spending time with his friends, who view him as an amateur Steve Irwin.
Area Production Manager: Larry Coomer
For more than 20 years Larry Coomer has committed himself to building the American dream for Houston area families. Building homes is his favorite thing to do, and he is known for both his proficiency and pace. Larry proudly states that he once completed a home from start to finish in 32 days.
Larry is most proud of his two sons, one of which is a high school student and the other a student at Baylor University. When not building homes, he takes great pleasure in spending as much time as he can with them.
Chesmar homebuyers whose home construction Larry oversees will appreciate his commitment and expertise.
