Your historic chimney tells the story of South Rehoboth’s past. When you choose authentic restoration over quick fixes, you’re not just solving problems—you’re preserving a piece of Bristol County’s heritage.
You get a chimney that looks exactly as it should, functions safely for decades, and maintains the architectural integrity that makes your home special. No modern shortcuts that clash with your home’s character. No materials that will cause problems down the road.
Just careful, skilled work that honors both your home’s history and your family’s safety.
We’ve been restoring historic chimneys throughout South Rehoboth and Bristol County for over 20 years. We understand what makes these old structures different—the lime mortar, the softer bricks, the settling patterns that happen over centuries.
Most contractors avoid historic work because it requires specialized knowledge and patience. We seek it out because we know how to do it right.
South Rehoboth’s homes date back to the 1600s, making this one of Massachusetts’ oldest communities. These structures were built to last, but they need craftspeople who understand their unique needs.
First, we thoroughly assess your chimney’s condition, age, and construction methods. We document everything with photos and measurements before any work begins.
Next, we source period-appropriate materials. This might mean finding lime mortar that matches your original mix, or locating salvaged bricks from the same era. We don’t use modern shortcuts that will cause problems later.
Then we carefully dismantle what needs rebuilding, saving every original brick we can. Our masons follow traditional bonding patterns and use techniques that complement your chimney’s original construction.
Finally, we ensure everything meets current safety codes while preserving the historic character you want to maintain.

Your historic chimney restoration includes a complete structural assessment, sourcing of period-appropriate materials, and skilled masonry work that preserves your home’s character.
In Bristol County, we see specific challenges with historic chimneys. The coastal air accelerates deterioration. Previous repairs with inappropriate modern materials often cause more damage. Many chimneys lack proper liners, creating safety hazards.
We address these issues using methods that work with your home’s original construction. Lime mortar that breathes with the masonry. Salvaged bricks that match your existing structure. Proper flashing and waterproofing that protect without compromising authenticity.
The result is a chimney that looks period-correct, functions safely, and adds value to your historic South Rehoboth home.
