Meadors, Inc — Historic Preservation, Architecture & Custom Construction in Charleston, SC (Est. 1984)
Meadors was founded in 1984 by James C. Meadors and has spent four decades working on some of Charleston’s most demanding restoration and new-construction projects. The firm runs six workshops: architecture and interior design, construction, conservation and preservation planning, design services, cabinetry and millwork, and estate management and maintenance. That structure lets them handle a full custom project from initial drawings through finished millwork without farming out the specialized pieces. Their restoration work uses paint microscopy and mortar analysis to inform period-accurate repairs — standard tools in preservation circles, but rare to find under one contractor’s roof.
