WM. H. Fry Construction

10351 San Fernando Ave., Cupertino, CA 95014

For WM. H. Fry Construction, earning trust doesn’t end with homeowners but extends to its professional colleagues too. Because of the value and quality of work that the firm produces, architects, designers, structural engineers, suppliers, and other professionals in the trades have entrusted the building of even their own personal projects to WM. H. Fry Construction — a testament to the firm’s workmanship, which is acknowledged by those with the keenest eyes for design and construction in the industry.  

Bill Fry, the founder of the firm, is himself a tried and tested builder, having worked, in his younger years, in a foreman position, building over 100 hillside homes at Portola Valley Ranch. Pictured below is the firm’s more recent work on a Los Altos home remodel. The home features a new custom kitchen design, modern stone masonry fireplaces by a master stone mason, and other interior designer finishes. The kitchen, in particular, showcases traditional white painted custom cabinets with granite countertops and a black walnut kitchen island cabinet with a quartzite countertop.

Craftsmen’s Guild

10566 S Deanza Blvd., Cupertino, CA 95014

Today, the three partners have left their footprint on many of the dream homes found in the Bay Area.

One example of the firm’s work is this open concept living/dining area, pictured below.
