“The details are not the details. They make the design.” – Charles Eames
These timeless words ring especially true when it comes to Holladay, Utah’s historic homes. Nestled among the Wasatch foothills, these properties tell a quiet yet powerful story—one of craftsmanship, heritage, and pride. From ornate Victorian porches to classic Craftsman details and sturdy mid-century facades, every cornice, window frame, and weathered panel has a tale to tell. But as the years pass, time and nature take their toll. Without proper care, that story begins to fade—quite literally.
That’s where the art and science of professional painting come in.
At That 1 Painter Salt Lake City, we believe that painting historic homes isn’t just about color—it’s about preservation, respect, and transformation. With the right approach, you can protect your home’s structure, enhance its beauty, and honor its place in Holladay’s unique architectural history.
In this guide, we’ll explore how to preserve your historic home with professional painting services in 2025 and why choosing the right painting team can make all the difference.
Holladay is a gem for lovers of architecture. Its neighborhoods are dotted with homes that span decades—sometimes even a full century—of architectural design. Here, you’ll find everything from turn-of-the-century Victorian homes with intricate woodwork to mid-century ranch-style homes built for simplicity and comfort. Many properties feature hand-carved details, original wood siding, arched entryways, brick chimneys, and artisan trim work that’s nearly impossible to replicate today.
These architectural touches aren’t just decorative, they’re expressions of a time when homes were built by hand, with intention and artistry. Preserving them means protecting both value and heritage.
A carefully executed paint job brings these features to life, restoring what weather and time have worn down. It’s not just a facelift—it’s a revival.
Painting a historic home requires more than a bucket of paint and a brush. It demands a delicate balance of restoration and preservation, and that’s where professional painters come in.
At That 1 Painter Salt Lake City, we tailor our approach to respect the home’s age, architecture, and material composition. We never paint over a problem—we fix it first.
Color is more than aesthetics, it’s storytelling. The right palette can evoke a specific era, highlight craftsmanship, and elevate your home’s curb appeal without sacrificing authenticity.
Holladay’s seasonal light shifts dramatically throughout the year. A shade that looks gray in spring might appear blue in winter. That’s why we always test swatches on multiple sides of your home before finalizing the palette.
Our color consultants specialize in blending historical accuracy with modern preferences, so your home feels timeless, not dated.
You can’t rush greatness, and nowhere is that more true than when painting a historic home. A long-lasting, beautiful finish begins with thorough prep work.
Many DIY jobs fail at this stage. Without the right tools and knowledge, it’s easy to trap moisture or apply paint unevenly, leading to expensive repairs. That 1 Painter gets it right from the start.
Hiring a painter is easy. Hiring a historic home specialist? That takes research. Here’s how to choose the right team:

We’re proud of our work—and our clients are, too. Here’s what a few had to say:
Their 1920s Craftsman had faded to a dull beige, hiding its once-vibrant trim work. After we carefully stripped the old paint and applied a period-accurate palette of sage green and ivory, the home became a neighborhood favorite.
They wanted to restore the detailed trim on their 1890s home. Our team removed seven layers of old paint, revealed the original woodwork, and brought it back to life in a rich palette of navy, cream, and burgundy.
Worried about lead paint in her 1930s cottage, Lily called us for help. We safely removed the old paint, sealed the home with breathable, eco-friendly products, and gave her the peace of mind she needed, with a cheerful buttercream finish.
These aren’t just jobs—they’re part of our city’s living history.
Painting your home isn’t just about looks—it’s about value, pride, and protection.
If you’re thinking of selling, refinancing, or just want to fall in love with your home again, start with paint.
Your Holladay home is more than wood and nails, it’s a part of Utah’s rich history. It deserves a painting partner who sees it the same way. At That 1 Painter Salt Lake City, we don’t just paint houses, we restore legacies.
Whether you’re reviving a cherished family home or preparing a historic property for the next generation, we’re here to help every step of the way.
