Company Background
Based in Santa Cruz, CA, Williams Gate Works brings over three decades of licensed general contracting experience to the craft of custom wood gates. We specialize in handcrafting gates for both residential and commercial applications, from garden entries to driveway gates, and we ship our work nationwide. Each gate begins with hand-selected high-end woods like clear heart Redwood, Western Red Cedar, Mahogany, and reclaimed old-growth Redwood. Our team chooses each piece for its grain pattern to maximize stability and strength. We then assemble these materials using Old World Joinery techniques and marine-grade epoxy, creating joints that resist sagging and failure. The result is a beautiful, durable gate built to last a lifetime. For Santa Cruz homeowners, we specifically address common local issues like sagging gates and fence post movement by using robust joinery and stable, premium materials that withstand the coastal climate. Our locations near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the Westside neighborhood make it convenient for local clients to discuss their project in person.
Question Answers
How does Williams Gate Works prevent my new gate from sagging over time?
Sagging gates are a common issue in Santa Cruz, often due to the coastal moisture and soil movement. We prevent this by using Old World Joinery techniques, like mortise and tenon joints, combined with marine-grade epoxy. This creates a rigid, stable frame that resists twisting and sagging. Additionally, we hand-select each board for its grain pattern to ensure maximum stability from the start.
What types of wood do you use for custom gate installation?
For our custom gate installations, we offer a selection of premium woods including clear heart Redwood, Western Red Cedar, Mahogany, and reclaimed old-growth Redwood. Each piece is hand-chosen by our team for its grain pattern to maximize the gate's strength and longevity. These materials are durable and naturally resistant to decay, making them ideal for Santa Cruz's climate.
Do you install automatic gates for residential driveways in Santa Cruz?
Yes, we provide automatic gate installation for residential driveways in Santa Cruz and surrounding areas. Whether you need a sliding or swing gate, we can integrate a reliable automatic opener that suits your property. Our gates are designed to handle the weight and movement of automation while maintaining the handcrafted quality we are known for.
