About William:

I’ve been making things to use and enjoy for as long as I can remember. My goal at Yates Woodwork is to build and restore beautiful, functional living spaces for each and every one of my clients. I first encountered historical wood doors and windows at my grandparents’ 1927 Mission-style home, and enjoyed their elegant proportions, how they contributed to the feel of the building, and the quality of materials that went into them. In my restoration work I maintain and recreate this integrity, and in my contemporary projects I adapt timeless materials and techniques to new needs and styles.

This starts with personalized design, using sketches, scale drawings, and samples to communicate and shape the details of the project. Long-lasting materials, honest craftsmanship, and careful installation follow .

May my work serve you well,
