Sanford Kendall (Sandy)

Nantucket, MA. After several visits to Nantucket in the late ‘60s, and after college, some travels, and an abbreviated hitch in the Air Force, Sandy and his then wife Susan moved to Nantucket where they raised their two sons. During his 20s, he learned traditional Nantucket carpentry skills and restoration and preservation best practices for the pre-Civil War houses in town. In 1977 after building his home on the edge of town, he started his carpentry business which, as it grew, became Sanford Kendall Old House Restoration and Design. He served on the board of the Nantucket Preservation Trust during its early years and on the Historic District Commission. Always happiest when outdoors, Sandy can be found hiking and biking our beautiful island and sailing local waters.
