General Manager

Will's love for building things started when he was just a kid. His first woodworking projects sparked a deep passion for construction that has stayed with him ever since. Will has always enjoyed working with people, and he found the construction industry to be the perfect place to combine his skills and interests.

Will's career took a new direction when he met Charles Woods. Charles' infectious enthusiasm for custom building and his wealth of knowledge captivated Will and reignited his passion for construction. Inspired by Charles, Will decided to leave his tech career behind and dive headfirst into the world of building. He earned his general contractor's license and, in 2019, joined Charles Woods Builder. Today, he proudly serves as President and General Manager, bringing his dedication and vision to every project.

Will lives in Hillsborough with his wonderful wife, Taylor, and their two amazing kids, Adeline and Benjamin. You can reach him at will@charleswoodsbuilder.com or give him a call at (919) 338-9461.

Designer

Born and raised in Hillsborough, NC, Gray Burton developed a passion for art and design at an early age. During his high school years, he dedicated much of his time to creating art and building furniture of his own design. Gray pursued his passion further by attending the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence, RI.

After earning his design degree, Gray moved to New York City, where he spent many years immersing himself in various facets of the design industry. He particularly thrived in working with clients to create spaces that were both classic and creative, design-forward yet affordable.

Gray eventually returned to Hillsborough and joined Charles Woods Builder, where he continues to create meaningful, approachable interiors. In this role, he combines his design expertise and local knowledge to craft beautiful, functional spaces that reflect his clients' unique styles and needs. Gray is dedicated to making high-quality design accessible and believes that thoughtful interiors can significantly enhance everyday living.
