Company Profile and Philosophy

Established in 1974, Andrews Enterprises is a sole proprietorship. Our company's aim has always been to provide our clients with durable and correct work at a fair price. We Do Not Work Weekends. We are extremely flexible with respect to client participation in projects. "All or any part of a project" sums up the basic philosophy there.

We believe that a job should always be done correctly the first time. We take the time to understand exactly what is desired and required before beginning work. We also feel that a project, once completed, should become an integral part of the structure, virtually indistinguishable as having been added and should endure the test of time, given reasonable maintenance. We work toward these goals.

One of our clients was heard to say, as several of her friends were bemoaning the fact that remodeling is such an ordeal and what did she think about that, "Yes, it is an ordeal, but WD makes it so easy!"

Another said, "I listen to my friends telling 'nightmare' contractor stories and I have nothing to share."

Another said, "He will build you a piano or a fence, doesn't matter." Hmmm.....never tried a piano, but we did a weather tight, exterior pocket door one time.

Some people ask for really interesting things." Will you hang my refrigerator from the ceiling?" (I didn't get that one.)

Who Is WD?

WD is W. D. Andrews, owner, estimator, operator, RME, bookkeeper, carpenter, and holder of California State Contractor's License Class B-1, Number  327062.

A former U. S. Navy helicopter pilot—'64 to '71, WD attended college after separation from the Navy. A Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Arts Education was finally awarded by San Jose State University thanks to the G. I. Bill. Hobbies include fishing, trap shooting, boating, and travel.

Upon graduation in 1974, he was asked, "Can you build me an office over my garage?"

Thanks to great clients we've been able to make a living while having fun most of the time. Long story short, we've been doing business "at the same stand" ever since.
