For over 45 years, our legacy has been built one client at a time by maintaining the highest ideals of craftsmanship, artistry, integrity, and loyalty. We embrace the power of teamwork in accomplishing goals by valuing the time, talents, and intentions of others. Together, we can create work of unparalleled beauty and skill to satisfy even the most demanding architects and builders. Quality is our legacy.

History

Gaston & Wyatt was founded in 1979 with the goal of creating millwork that honored the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of the country’s most iconic homes. The firm soon established a national reputation and achieved such success that we were selected to do significant work on important homes and buildings around the country, including historic gems like Charlottesville’s own UNESCO World Heritage site, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. Such prestigious commissions continue to this day in our own region as well as in New York, Palm Beach, Boston, and San Francisco in partnership with many of the country’s leading architects and builders.

Gaston & Wyatt continued its remarkable growth as a forward-thinking company and, by the late 1990s, expanded into the sale of Marvin and other high-quality windows, doors, and hardware. These architectural product offerings uniquely position Gaston & Wyatt as a turnkey solution for any project.

Our award-winning firm continues to grow under a seasoned leadership team who directs operations from a 65,000-square-foot facility. As we forge new customer relationships and nurture existing ones, we remain true to the distinct qualities that made Gaston & Wyatt what it is today.

Passion

We are masters and students, artists, and craftspeople. We love what we do and take our work seriously, always seeking more innovative and efficient ways to do things. The historical precedents of our craft teach us as much as contemporary innovations, giving us an array of knowledge to draw from to ensure that our work stays true to the intent and context of any project.

Precision

Our engineering and technological capabilities allow us to visualize each three-dimensional detail on the screen in advance of fabrication on our shop floor, essentially building projects twice. By blending time honored woodworking techniques with the latest advances in technology, we are prepared for any challenges that may arise to ensure precise results that accurately reflect even the most intricate design.

Innovation

Innovation comes from creating environments where ideas can connect. Here at Gaston & Wyatt, we pride ourselves on being a team of problem solvers who value each member's knowledge and experience while counting on each other for fresh perspectives and inventive ideas. We are humble, hungry, passionate, and smart, taking every opportunity to learn and improve our business practices. Our showroom selling Marvin and other high-quality windows, doors, and hardware has uniquely positioned us as a turnkey solution for any project.

Community

At Gaston & Wyatt, outreach is fundamental to our identity. We believe in respect and service, giving back to each other and to our communities by maintaining long-standing commitments to individuals in need and nonprofit organizations locally and internationally.
