Hear from Our Customers
Your historic chimney tells a story. Every brick, every mortar joint reflects decades or centuries of craftsmanship that deserves respect.
When you choose authentic restoration over quick fixes, you’re protecting more than just your chimney. You’re preserving your home’s architectural integrity, maintaining its value, and ensuring your family’s safety for generations to come.
The difference shows in every detail. Period-appropriate lime mortar that breathes with your original masonry. Salvaged bricks that match your home’s character. Traditional techniques that honor the craftsmen who built your chimney decades ago.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Bristol County homeowners who understand that historic homes require specialized care. We’re not just another chimney company.
We know the difference between lime mortar and Portland cement. We understand why your 1800s chimney needs different materials than a modern build. We’ve seen what happens when well-meaning contractors use the wrong approach on historic masonry.
Your neighbors in Bliss Corner and throughout Bristol County trust us because we take the time to do things right. We source period-appropriate materials, match original mortar composition, and use techniques that preserve your home’s historical accuracy.
Every historic chimney restoration starts with understanding what you’re working with. We carefully assess your chimney’s age, original construction methods, and current condition.
Next comes the detective work. We analyze your original mortar composition, identify any previous repairs that might be causing problems, and document everything before we start. This isn’t guesswork—it’s preservation science.
Then we source the right materials. Period-appropriate bricks from salvage yards. Lime mortar mixed to match your original formula. Everything chosen to work with your chimney’s original construction, not against it.
The restoration itself follows traditional techniques. We carefully dismantle damaged sections, clean and reuse original bricks when possible, and rebuild using methods that respect your chimney’s historical character while meeting modern safety standards.

Historic chimney restoration in Bliss Corner requires understanding the unique challenges of Bristol County’s older homes. Many were built when heating meant wood-burning fireplaces in every room, creating complex chimney systems that need specialized attention.
We handle everything from minor repointing with lime mortar to complete chimney rebuilds. Our services include structural assessments, leak repairs, liner installations, and crown rebuilding—all using materials and techniques appropriate for your home’s era.
Bristol County’s coastal climate creates specific challenges for historic masonry. Salt air accelerates deterioration, and our restoration methods account for these local conditions. We use breathable lime mortars that handle moisture movement better than modern cement, preventing the trapped moisture problems that destroy historic brickwork.
Every restoration project includes bringing your chimney up to current safety codes while preserving its historical character. This means proper liner installation, adequate clearances, and structural reinforcement—all done with respect for your home’s original architecture.
