William E. Bolton III (Bill) and his son William E. Bolton IV (Will) of W.E. Bolton Construction and Service, LLC purchased the assets of Bolton Service, LLC on June 11, 2010. In January of that year, Woodfin Oil, the former owner, presented W.E. Bolton with this opportunity. After months of talks, the Bolton Service, LLC staff became part of the Bolton family again.

Bolton stands as one of the longest-running family-owned businesses in the Raleigh area. William E. Bolton Sr. departed from the Atlantic Coastline Railroad of Rock Mount in 1923 to oversee the mechanical systems for Raleigh's inaugural high-rise hotel, The Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel. He established the W.E. Bolton Company in 1925 to provide installation and service for coal-fired heating and refrigeration systems for nearby dairies and meatpacking plants. The company weathered the Great Depression, and in 1946, William E. Bolton Jr. joined his father after six years of service on the USS Yorktown. Check out our website for additional details.

I was born at the Old Rex Hospital in Raleigh and grew up on a small farm just south of what is now the new 540 outer loop in North Raleigh. I graduated from Millbrook High School in 1989 and then went on to attend Appalachian State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Minor in Technology from Appalachian State University in 1993. In January 1994, I became a full-time member of Bolton Corp., working as a Project Manager and Designer until December 2001. In January 2002, I partnered with my father, Bill Bolton, to establish W.E. Bolton Construction and Service, LLC. In 2010, W.E. Bolton took over the assets of Bolton Service, LLC. I possess contractor licenses in HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Sprinkler, Unlimited General Contracting, and Specialty Electrical. I participate in the West Raleigh Rotary Club, SLR (Shop Local Raleigh), SFPE, and ASHRAE. Currently, I serve as the Raleigh Operations Manager. In my free time, I like to surf, paddleboard, wakeboard, fish, and snowboard with my wife and boys.
