California Craftsman
End-to-End Excellence in Luxury Windows and Doors
Damian Wells, President and CEOAs a licensed general contractor, California Craftsman handles every kind of project, from minor upgrades to large-scale custom installations, along with customizing the fit and placement and handling permits.
Damian Wells, president and CEO, explains, “We offer builders and homeowners one convenient contact. Rather than coordinating with multiple installers, framers, or suppliers, our team handles all of these directly.”
Builders and homeowners can trust the finished product will function exactly as intended. California Craftsman ensures efficient window and door installation without delays, inspection issues, disputes or expensive rework.
Diverse Designs with an Innovative Approach
Catering to both luxury renovations and new construction projects, California Craftsman specializes in premium windows and large, architecturally complex door installations that demand careful expertise and excellent precision.
Its 7,000-square-foot showroom in Auburn showcases an expansive range of specialty doors and windows, giving customers a hands-on experience and helping them evaluate scale, operation and functionality before committing. Unlike static displays, clients receive an immersive experience, enabling informed choices that match the architect’s vision and the homeowner’s way of life. The showroom features doors from top manufacturers, including pivot, motorized sliding, pocketing, and folding doors up to 18 feet wide and 8 feet tall, as well as 12-foot and six-foot options.
California Craftsman collaborates closely with architects, builders and homeowners to bring their vision to life. Instead of treating specifications as limitations, it uses thoughtful innovation to improve the living experience.

California Craftsman collaborates closely with architects, builders and homeowners to bring their vision to life. Instead of treating specifications as limitations, it uses thoughtful innovation to improve the living experience.
A client scenario highlights the strength of this collaborative approach: architects initially designed four traditional hinged doors for a residence, each spanning six feet wide with two-foot walls separating them. The homeowner expressed a preference for an uninterrupted connection to the outdoors without the limitations imposed by multiple doorways. California Craftsman reimagined the space, recommending the removal of the intervening walls and the installation of a floor-to-ceiling glass door. Following structural confirmation from the engineering team regarding the adequacy of a redesigned header, the transformation resulted in a modern, light-filled living area. This not only improved the aesthetic quality but also significantly enhanced the natural light, exterior views and seamless indoor-outdoor flow features synonymous with modern luxury. This demonstrates California Craftsman’s capacity to deliver innovative and high-value solutions to its clients.
Experience That Delivers Results
Outcomes like this are made possible by the workmanship and expertise of the team members at California Craftsman. Senior leaders and key managers bring several decades of industry experience. The sales manager and sales representative draw on nearly three decades of experience, while the production manager and foreman bring more than ten years of company experience and extensive on-site leadership. This depth of industrial knowledge not only minimizes risk but guarantees a flawless installation every time.
The results are tangible. The team generated exceptional bid activity throughout the latter half of 2025. With a robust project pipeline and a proven installation model, the company is well-positioned for growth in the coming years.
California Craftsman understands that luxury doors and windows are essential to a home’s strength and aesthetic. In an industry accustomed to fragmentation, it stands out by creating an end-to-end seamless experience and a single point of accountability. By handling both the design details and the installation, California Craftsman enhances how luxury homes are lived in, experienced and remembered.
