Verified record
Colonial Barn Restoration is a Bolton, Massachusetts general contractor built around antique barns and timber-frame structures — restoring old barns, churches, and antique homes. The company says Tim Murphy started it after restoring barns as a hobby, and its site credits him as the current owner and operator. Houzz shows eight of its barn-restoration projects, and BuildZoom lists 20 permitted jobs under the company's name. In a 2022 news account, a homeowner hired Tim Murphy and the company as general contractor to dismantle a barn and rebuild it on their property. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is expired on the state registry. BuildZoom also lists a New Jersey home improvement business license for the company; check that state's registry directly for its current status. This is a solid call for a barn, timber-frame, or antique-structure project — confirm current licensing and insurance before signing a contract.
“He began his lifelong career in antique structure restoration with Yankee Steeplejack Company before establishing, successfully owning, and operating his own business, Colonial Barn Restoration in Bolton until the time of his passing.”
“hired Tim Murphy of Colonial Barn Restoration Inc. of Bolton, to serve as their general contractor to dismantle the barn and restore it on their property.”
