Our Company's History

Founded in 1999, Bill Clerke and his former partner established a residential remodeling company with the intention of providing the Phoenix area with higher quality products and unmatched service. They quickly grew out of the home office and found themselves with a successful storefront and custom shop in Tempe. In 2005, the business relocated to the 2500-square-foot Chandler showroom we still call home today.


William Jackson Inc has successfully completed hundreds of remodeling projects in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix, and Scottsdale. While representing the Medallion cabinetry line, William Jackson Inc has been fortunate enough to achieve national sales awards for consecutive years (2005 – 2008) while continuing to be within the top 100 national sales through 2016.

Customer Service Is Paramount

When you visit our showroom, you will find a relaxed atmosphere where professional, knowledgeable staff with more than 35 years of experience in the industry, will guide you through computer-generated designs and hands-on selections. Using state-of-the-art computer-aided design, we can take your ideas and bring them to life in a 3D computer environment, allowing you to visualize your project.


Unlike the home improvement stores, a single associate will work with you from the initial cabinetry selections to the final walk-through, ensuring a successful project and your satisfaction. Contact us today to learn more about everything we have to offer!

Meet the William Jackson Inc Team:

Bill Clerke

Partner – Managing Back Office and Human Resources

Bill is not only one of the original founding members but also brings over 50 years of construction expertise to the table. Hailing from Long Island, NY, Bill's journey in the construction industry began early in life, shaping his deep-rooted passion for building and renovation. In 1995, Bill moved himself and his family to Arizona, where he soon co-founded a small company that would eventually grow into the esteemed construction firm known today as William Jackson Remodeling. With unparalleled knowledge, experience, and unwavering drive, Bill has been instrumental in the company's evolution and success.

Mike Ambrose

Partner – Managing the Design and Sales Division

Mike’s time at William Jackson Inc is deeply rooted. An Arizona native born and raised in Tempe, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in information systems. He then found himself better suited working in the custom woodworking shop owned by his soon-to-be father-in-law, Bill Clerke. Mike quickly absorbed the ins and outs of the business. As the company continued to expand, his growing knowledge combined with his natural charisma in customer relations helped him evolve into an ownership position, leading the company’s sales and design team. When he’s not working, Mike enjoys spending time with his family, watching and refereeing soccer, and sneaking in the occasional round of golf.


Gavin Pugh

Partner – Managing Field Operations and Construction

Growing up in a small town near central New York, Gavin worked side by side with his father in their family construction business. After attending college, he traveled west and made Gilbert, AZ, his home, where he settled in with his wife and two boys. He continued to hone his skills and knowledge, obtaining his general contractor’s license and starting his own successful business. In 2013, he decided to join forces with William Jackson Inc, which elevated the company’s offerings to the next level, making us a full-service design-build contractor. Gavin is a master craftsman with an unparalleled eye for detail. No challenge is too great for his team.
