Our Origin Story
Family Hardware Corp. was started by our parents, George and Pauline Prescod, (Pauline is now deceased.) Our dad, now retired, was a licensed remodeling contractor in Boston for many years. As he neared his 40th birthday he realized the difficulty and impracticability of climbing ladders at age 50 and so decided to change his career path to becoming a business owner instead. He learned the basics of how to run an organization from a friend/mentor. The FHC concept became a reality at 995 Blue Hill Ave. Several years later, Family Hardware Corp moved to its present location at 1106 Blue Hill Ave in Dorchester.
Family Hardware Corp is staffed and now ran by three of the six children, Natalie Santos Castillo, Kimberly Thomas and George Prescod, Jr.
