You get a chimney that looks exactly like it should—authentic to your home’s era—while meeting today’s safety codes. No more worrying about structural damage from inappropriate repairs or fire hazards from missing liners.
Your historic home maintains its character and value. The restoration uses lime mortars that breathe properly with your old bricks, preventing the moisture problems that destroy chimneys when modern materials are used incorrectly.
You’re not just fixing a chimney. You’re preserving a piece of Freetown’s history while ensuring your family’s safety for decades to come.
Above and Beyond Chimney specializes in historic restoration throughout Bristol County, including Freetown’s colonial and period homes. We understand the unique construction methods used in pre-1940s chimneys and why they require different approaches than modern repairs.
We’ve restored chimneys on homes dating back to the 1800s across Bristol County. Our team knows how to source period-appropriate bricks, mix traditional lime mortars, and apply preservation techniques that respect your home’s original craftsmanship.
Freetown’s historic homes deserve restoration that honors their heritage while ensuring modern safety standards.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection to understand your chimney’s original construction, identify period materials, and assess what needs restoration versus replacement. We document everything before starting work.
Next, we source historically appropriate materials—matching bricks from salvage yards when possible and mixing lime mortars that complement your chimney’s original composition. We prepare the work area to protect your property.
Then we perform the restoration using traditional techniques like careful repointing, structural repairs with period-appropriate methods, and installation of modern safety features like liners that don’t compromise the historic character. Every step preserves authenticity while ensuring safety.

Historic chimney restoration in Freetown addresses the specific challenges of Bristol County’s older homes. Many were built before modern building codes and lack essential safety features like chimney liners.
We install stainless steel liners that protect your masonry while remaining invisible from the outside. We repair or rebuild damaged sections using salvaged bricks that match your original construction. Our lime mortar work allows proper moisture movement, preventing the damage caused by incompatible modern cements.
Freetown’s coastal climate and age-related settling create unique challenges for historic chimneys. We address structural issues, water damage, and code compliance while maintaining the architectural integrity that makes your home special.
