The firm serves residential, institutional, civic, and commercial clients, with work spanning both new construction and historic restoration.

The company operates through a collaboration of six in-house workshops: Architecture & Interiors, Conservation & Preservation Planning, Design Services, Cabinetry & Millwork, Estate Management & Maintenance, and Construction. This structure brings architects, conservators, designers, craftspeople, and material specialists into a single design-build process supported by the latest technology. The firm was founded in 1984 by James Meadors, a native South Carolinian and licensed SC General Contractor who holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wofford College. With over 30 years of experience in construction and preservation, he has trained alongside artisans in traditional craft and remains involved in each workshop. The team is led by specialists including Jeremy Tate as Head of Architecture, Jack Kennedy as Head of Interior Design, Alika Brooks as Head of Design Services, Kelly Wright as Head of Finance, and members working across each discipline.

Design Services supports architects, designers, and craftsmen through custom-built templates, mock-ups, small batch manufacturing, shop drawings, signage, and digital reality capture, along with three-dimensional physical and computer models used as design and presentation tools. The Conservation and Preservation Planning workshop performs paint microscopy, beginning with on-site sampling and laboratory examination of cross-sections under reflected and ultraviolet light to document paint history, and physical and chemical analysis of historic mortars, stuccos, and plaster to identify original formulations and causes of deterioration.

Meadors has been recognized with multiple Carolopolis Society Awards from the Preservation Society for restorations including 207 Calhoun Street at the College of Charleston, 60 Meeting Street, the Charleston County Courthouse, and 4 Gibbes Street, as well as a Carolopolis Stewardship Award for Longstreet Theatre at the University of SC.
