Williams gate works provides custom, high quality gates for all residential and commercial applications. I start with the finest quality wood. The three most common woods used to build my gates are clear heart Redwood, Western Red Cedar, and Mahogany. I also use reclaimed old growth Redwood for many of my gates as well.
Each piece of lumber is hand-selected for proper grain pattern, which maximizes stability and strength. Moreover, the end grain of each piece of lumber is sealed with penetrating epoxy sealer, which prevents the wood from absorbing and releasing moisture too quickly, which can cause warping and issues with longevity.

I found Shannon Williams online searching for gates in Santa Cruz and the photos of his beautiful gates did not disappoint, in fact out-distanced my expectations. I appreciated that he was easy to work with in choosing the gate design and his workmanship and knowledge was superb. We were very satisfied with our selection of Shannon Williams as our contractor and would highly recommend.
Epoxy is superior to glue in every aspect. Besides the fact that epoxy is many times stronger than glue, it is also highly waterproof and resistant to changes in temperature. The mortise and tenon joint coupled with marine grade epoxy actually makes the joint become stronger than the actual wood itself.
In the case you have an existing rectangular opening, you must measure the horizontal distance of the opening between your existing posts, columns, or walls, and determine the required height of your gate. We will determine gate dimensions and tolerances based on this information. They do not, however we can recommend general contractors in certain areas whom you may contact for such work.
