Best of Boston

A lifelong resident of Jamaica Plain, Kevin Cradock, who launched his firm 25 years ago, has always been amazed by the antique architecture in his neighborhoodand beyond. Incredibly knowledgeable about historical building techniques, Cradock is a preservationist at heart; he’ll go to great lengths to restore a home’s character, and when it comes to recreating antique architectural details, his team is very resourceful. They’ll help navigate challenging city building guidelines — for historic structures, there are a lot — and craft their own cabinetry, furniture, and millwork out of their shop to ensure authenticity.
