Alabama Professional Services is one of the longest running, family owned pest control companies in the State of Alabama. They have offered custom pest control services in the Birmingham area for residential and commercial customers since 1977, and continue to put this expertise to use to get the situation under control and minimize the damage done to your property.
Over the years Alabama Professional Services has gained a reputation for offering exceptional services that you can trust. Craig Williams is the third generation owner of the fast growing, 105-employee company.
“Every technician is highly qualified to handle a variety of pest problems. Alabama Professional Services conducts regular employee training classes to keep our company at the cutting edge of pest control and prevention,” Williams said. “We offer a myriad of professional service options under one umbrella — including the elimination of pests, termites, and lawn maintenance, and foundation work to level, lift or otherwise stabilize your home.”
Alabama Professional Services believes that your home should always be a place of comfort, free from unwanted pests. Because most pest problems come from the outside, your technician will focus on these areas using methods and materials proven to be effective over a long period.
APS started out as a pest control company. However, it soon became evident that infestations and foundation issues went hand in hand. In their effort to serve their clients to the fullest extent, they began expanding in 1988. was another challenge these experts took on with confidence and a commitment to excellence. In 2001, the company moved to Irondale, and in 2018 opened a second Irondale location. For 45 years, APS has delivered the service and satisfaction that has made them a leader in the industry.
The company’s expertise grew to include every aspect of home and commercial owners’ properties. In addition to pest control and foundations, they provide lawn care and landscaping solutions. APS assists clients all across Alabama from Huntsville to Gulf Shores, including the Mobile area. In addition to residential customers, their clientele includes restaurant owners, food processing centers, educational institutions, health care facilities, hotels and lodgings, manufacturing centers, office buildings, apartments and universities.
But the APS experts felt they could do even more to help homeowners. In 2005, they joined the CleanSpace network of crawlspace repair professionals. Soon after, they added basement waterproofing and concrete repair to their list of skills.
And Alabama Professional Services knows the area they serve extremely well.
The owner, Craig Williams, grew up in Trussville. His family moved to the Clay community in 1978 and his grandfather and father started the business. He graduated from Hewitt-Trussville High School in 1984.
“I was the last class out of the old high school,” said Williams. “And we were the first graduating class out of the new school, which is now the middle school.”
Williams went to work for his grandfather, Charles Williams, and his father, Rod Williams out of high school. Although he had been working with them throughout high school, he started full-time as a pest control technician after graduation.
In 1987, he became the pest control department manager and in 1990, he became the termite management in sales.
In 2001, Williams’ grandfather passed away. He became Vice President of the company, a position he held until 2004 when his father retired, and he became owner and president of APS.
“I do this with great pride,” said Williams. “The fact that we’ve been able to maintain excellence in customer service is probably the most appreciated thing.”
The family tradition of leading a successful company is sure to continue. Williams’ son, Riley, is following in his father’s footsteps. After graduating from the University of Alabama with a business degree Riley began working for APS.
“I just hope he continues what we started,” Williams said. “For him to build on top of that and for him to explore and build on things that can take APS to the next level is what I hope.”
