Boston, MA Patrick J. Kennedy & Sons, Inc., a family-owned, third-generation full-service union mechanical contracting firm with experience in plumbing, HVAC and automatic temperature controls recently celebrated its 90th anniversary.

For nearly a century, the Boston-based company has built a solid reputation for quality, performance, and integrity, by having an understanding of what must be done to deliver a successful project, while maintaining a long-term customer relationship, according to Paul Kennedy, Sr., president of Patrick J. Kennedy & Sons. Paul Kennedy, Sr. with his son Paul Kennedy Jr. and nephew Patrick Kennedy maintain the family tie that Paul Sr.’s father began 90 years ago. The company re-located from the city’s South End to a much larger facility in Dorchester in 1992 and has since expanded with the opening a new pre-fabrication facility just down the street in 2008.

Recent projects completed include plumbing and HVAC for the new University of Massachusetts Boston General Academic Building, HVAC for the Essex Agricultural & Technical High School and plumbing for Mass Port’s Black Falcon Cruise Terminal.

The firm, presently 60-employees strong, is a proud member of Plumbers Local 12 and Pipefitters Local 537.

“We pride ourselves in building lifelong relationships with our customers by offering what we believe is the very best service; we can do that because we are union,” said Paul Kennedy, Sr. “Throughout the years, our family and staff have worked diligently to uphold the concept of customer satisfaction our father instilled in us. As we celebrate 90 years in business, we can proudly look back at past successes and look forward to continuing to deliver the outstanding level of service that is the hallmark of Patrick J. Kennedy & Sons, Inc.”
