Preserving New England Charm: Historic Home Painting in Bozrah & Beyond
Posted on April 17, 2025
Tucked into the rolling countryside of Southeastern Connecticut, the town of Bozrah is rich in New England charm. From 18th-century farmhouses with original clapboard siding to early colonial cottages and antique Cape Cod-style homes, Bozrah is filled with architectural treasures. At CertaPro Painters® of Mystic-Glastonbury, CT, we believe that these homes deserve more than just a fresh coat of paint—they deserve thoughtful preservation.
Whether your home sits along the Yantic River, in the heart of Bozrah Village, or on the outskirts near Lebanon or Norwich, we provide historic home painting services that honour your property’s past while protecting its future.

Why Historic Homes Need a Painter Who Understands the Past
Unlike modern construction, historic homes in Bozrah and the surrounding region were often built with natural, breathable materials—like hand-cut wood, lime-based plaster, and original window glazing—that require a specialized approach. These aren’t homes where a standard painting job will do.
Many of the homes we work on in Bozrah, Colchester, and Hebron are well over a century old. They feature unique details like wooden shutters, dentil moldings, transom windows, and fieldstone foundations. Preserving those elements requires:
- Gentle surface preparation to avoid damaging fragile trim or woodwork
- Lead-safe practices, especially in homes built before 1978
- Color consultation based on historically appropriate palettes
- Use of breathable, weather-resistant paints designed for Connecticut’s climate
We approach each project with a balance of historical integrity and modern protection, ensuring the paint enhances—not replaces—the home’s character.

Local Pride and Craftsmanship in Every Project
As a local team, we’re proud to serve communities across New London and Tolland Counties. We’re familiar with the styles and stories of the region’s most distinctive homes, from the Federal-style properties near Glastonbury Center to the classic colonials dotting the Bozrah countryside.
In Bozrah, we often see homes that have remained in families for generations. Whether you’re looking to restore the original paint color from decades past or need help updating while preserving charm, our team takes the time to get to know your home’s unique needs.
We’ve worked on:
- 1700s and 1800s farmhouses with original wood siding
- Early American colonials with window lintels and crown moldings
- Victorian-era homes with ornamental trim and multi-tone colour schemes
- Historic barns and outbuildings being converted or maintained
No matter the project, we bring the same attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship that has defined New England homebuilding for centuries.
