Colonial Barn Restoration is a Bolton contractor focused on antique barns, timber-frame structures, churches, and antique homes. Its website says Tim Murphy formed the company after restoring barns on weekends, and describes the business as owned and operated by him. The company says it has about fifteen years of experience on its main page, while its Houzz profile says twenty-five years. The available public record is project-based rather than review-based. A 2022 report says the Bakers hired Tim Murphy as general contractor to dismantle and restore an antique barn, and Houzz shows eight projects. BuildZoom shows twenty permitted projects, including barn construction, barn restoration, framing, flooring, roof work, and foundation work. The business describes barn conversions, antique-home remodeling, project management, reclaimed lumber, and coordination of specialized subcontractors. Ask for a current license verification before signing. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts HIC license 123957 as inactive, and the state registry evidence marks it expired; BuildZoom also lists an inactive New Jersey license. Houzz displays license number CS-070224, but the available evidence does not establish its current status. There are no customer reviews on BuildZoom or Houzz, so workmanship and pricing are not independently rated in the available sources. This is a potentially relevant specialist for historic timber-frame restoration, barn conversions, and related structural work. Confirm the active license, insurance, project scope, subcontractors, references, and recent comparable projects before proceeding.
