Fine Craft Endures

"When I think of Stephens & Company, four words
come to mind: craft, sincerity, expertise, and integrity."

— Carol Durrand, Lee Real Estate

Calling this island home is like opening up a richly illustrated, centuries-old manuscript-and finding, in the back, a chapter of blank pages: your part in the story, yet to be written.

Striking just the right balance between preserving Nantucket's heritage and planning for the future is at the very core of our mission: thoughtful design, resilient materials, and high-performance systems that deliver comfort and ensure your home will last for generations. And when a door is worth saving, we save it-because lasting quality and lived history are important.

That's why we offer best-in-class fine homebuilding, historically sensitive renovation and restoration, thoughtful caretaking and property management, and full HERS rating services—all with the same care we show for this place that we know by heart.

Your Nantucket
Legacy

I’m Will Stephens.

When I finished college, I moved to Boston with a girl whose family ran a building company — her dad was a builder, her mom an architect. I thought l'd teach school, but that first summer on site hooked me for good. In 1998, I came to the island thinking I'd focus on historic restoration, but soon realized I was meant to build houses, too.

My first boss told me something that has stayed with me through the years: "Always surround yourself with the smartest people you can find. The difference between a carpenter and a contractor is team building."

It turns out he was was right. And it's one reason I feel so proud of this company: a close team of people who have a passion for craft and never get tired of figuring out what goes into a truly fine home.
