Men of the Moment 2025: Lee Manuel

Lee Manuel loves helping customers by making their homes healthier. He has crawled under houses all over The Natural State for the last 30 years. 

“My company was voted the number one crawlspace repair company in all of Arkansas because of passionate employees and their commitment to excellence,” Lee said. “I have more knowledge and experience than anyone else in Arkansas when it comes to dealing with crawlspace issues.”

Dr. Lee’s Crawlspace Repair deals with issues in the crawlspace under homes like water and moisture issues, high humidity, mold, damaged or rotten wood, settling issues that cause cracks in the walls and sagging or uneven floors. His highly trained staff also seals and insulates crawlspaces for better energy efficiency. 

Lee grew up in Central Arkansas and always planned to make the region his home. He lives in Cabot with his wife of 24 years, Julie, and their sons Harrison, Baxter and Tucker. They attend New Life Church in Cabot, where the business owner is a drummer on the worship team. Julie teaches at Cabot Public Schools and loves her students. “My wife is the most positive and kindest person I know, and I aspire to be like her every day,” he said. “To me, she is a rock star, and my family is my greatest accomplishment.”

Even though Lee lives in Central Arkansas, his crews service homes all over the state. “Our company has a very strong foundation based on the Christian values of honesty, integrity, servant leadership and generosity. These values shape every aspect of our business,” he said.

He loves his customers and believes in the Golden Rule when it comes to business practices. Lee embraces a maxim from Benjamin Franklin: The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.  

“As long as you treat people with respect, show them that you truly care, help them when they are in need, are compassionate and always kind, then regardless of money, fame, or fortune, you will always be the richest person in the world,” Lee said.
