Bill was born in Springfield, Virginia and attended George Mason
University. He began working as a trim carpenter right out of high
school and while in college he kept his hand in the carpentry field.
After college, he continued to hone his trade as a trim carpenter and
project manager.
In 1993 Bill moved to Raleigh, NC and began Cotton Contracting, a
company that specializes in trim work. Years later Bill began to
build a few custom homes and found that he not only loved this work,
but was exceptionally good at it. Cotton Custom Homes was established
in 2003. Bill has built homes in both Chatham and Wake County, in
neighborhoods that include Scotts Mill, Henry’s Ridge, Villages of
Apex, Heritage Pointe, and Bailey’s Landing.
Bill’s honesty and integrity as well as his professionalism and
attention to detail have earned him high praise from those he has
worked for. He has built homes of various sizes and styles (see
photos) as well as many remodeling projects. In order to “put the
time and attention into each home that the customer deserves”, Bill
chooses to build just a few custom homes each year.
Bill has earned high marks for his work, not only with his
clients, but also with his colleagues. Some of the awards Bill has
received include:
