House & Barn Restorations in Massachusetts

Since 1981, Colonial Restorations, LLC has specialized in the structural restoration and repair of historic timber frame structures. Owner Brad Green is a second generation structural restoration specialist. He started working with his father when he was twelve years old. Upon graduating from Wesleyan University in 2000, Brad decided to make a career of it. In addition to performing structural work on historic structures throughout New England, he has also lived through the restoration of two of his own historic homes.

This love and understanding of older post and beam buildings is necessary to ensure that the proper care is taken with your project. Colonial Restorations does all the work themselves and never use sub-contractors. This ensures every project is done with the love and care these historic buildings deserve. They have done many projects that other contractors would have torn down the building and built new, which would have destroyed a piece of history.

We are centrally located in Sturbridge, though we do historic building restorations, barn restorations, structural restorations and sill beam replacements throughout Massachusetts and New England. We will consider a project almost anywhere, though due to the niche industry we are in, it’s best to contact us well in advance so we can put you on schedule.

Colonial Restorations, LLC works on both residential and commercial projects. Mother Nature is always full of surprises that can affect buildings without people realizing it. If you have any questions about how the structure of your building is holding up, please contact us.

If you are considering the purchase of an older property, it is very important to have a pre-purchase evaluation done by Colonial Restorations prior to closing. Home inspectors know a little bit about everything but they are not specialists, though our old home evaluations in Massachusetts are thorough. It is also important to know the costs involved for any structural repairs prior to purchasing the home. There is nothing worse than buying an older home and discovering afterwards that there is significant structural damage. We do it all from window sill beam replacements to

Historic Home and Building Restorations

To know these buildings as we do is a privilege. “To know how to do something well is to enjoy it”. And every day we find this to be true. History has a way of repeating itself. In the early-mid 1980s, the savings and loan crisis caused a recession in the building trades. In many ways, the past several years have seen economic problems and challenges similar to then. Some builders tried to provide themselves an income by expanding the services that they offered. With no real timber frame experience, they often advertised sill replacement and structural work relating to post and beam buildings. Unfortunately, they often lack the practical experience and love of the antique buildings to do the job successfully. There is an old story about a small New England town. It seems a new barber moved in and put up a sign offering three dollar haircuts. Soon after the original barber put up a sign in his window saying “We fix $3 haircuts”. It is fair to say that Colonial Restorations has fixed many three dollar haircuts over the years.

Colonial Restorations, LLC was recently awarded the Angie’s List Super Service Award recognizing their continuing excellence in the field of restoration, which we are very proud of.
