At Yates Woodwork, we:

  • Make new solid wood doors using traditional mortise-and-tenon construction.

  • Repair historical solid wood doors, matching damaged components such as stiles, rails, panels, and moldings with identical dimensions, profiles, and joinery. We stock select clear vertical grain Douglas-fir, western redcedar, and other period-appropriate Northwest materials.

  • Restore wood double-hung window sash and casement windows, whether by milling replacement parts or making new sash from scratch. We also provide custom jambs, sills, and casings.

  • Fabricate porch components, railings, and corbels.

  • Turn pendants, balusters, and finials

  • Match and design custom moldings, baseboard, tongue & groove, sidings, and other woodwork for repair and restoration of Victorian, Craftsman, and Mid-century homes (in runs of 1-500 linear feet)

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,
