Company History

 
In 1972, at age 18, Don Ewy began his carpentry apprenticeship working on a framing crew in the Colorado mountains. In 1975 he started his own subcontracting business as the sole proprietor of "Creative Construction". Quickly expanding with the demand for his woodworking skill, and offering full design and general construction capabilities, he became WindWood Custom Builders, Inc. in 1985. After moving the headquarters to Naples, Florida in 1990, the company incorporated as Don Ewy Construction, Inc. In 2018, Don partnered with his daughter, Rachel, to restructure the company as PALO SANTO DEVELOPMENT LLC.
 
From the beginning, Don has worked tirelessly to earn his reputation for quality, service, and dependability. For over 40 years these principles have been the cornerstone of his success. He creates prestigious homes and fine architectural woodwork, revealing the art form hidden within the craft.
