About us

Since 1979, three generations of Barbers have enjoyed Nantucket as their home.  Mark and Holly settled into construction early as a means to provide for their family and formed Barber and Sons, Inc in 1984.  Since then, the two have built homes for a wide variety of owners, architects and designers.  Their children, Beau and Nate, joined the business in earnest after attending Boston University and studying English period furniture at The Masterpiece School of Fine Furniture in Ft. Bragg, California.  Along side the parent company, Beau and Nate formed Barber Brothers, a company focused on woodwork.

As we have grown, we have come to appreciate the simple beauty that endures in old Nantucket houses.  We are students of our predecessors’ techniques and use of proportion.  We consider our brand to be a reflection of our passion for historic Nantucket.
