Hear from Our Customers
Your historic chimney tells the story of East Freetown’s past, but it needs to function safely for today’s family. When you choose proper historic restoration, you’re not just fixing problems—you’re preserving a piece of Bristol County’s heritage while ensuring your home meets modern safety standards.
The difference shows immediately. Your chimney maintains its original character and craftsmanship while gaining the structural integrity and safety features your family needs. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that every repair respects your home’s historic value while protecting against fire hazards and carbon monoxide risks.
Most importantly, authentic restoration actually increases your property value. When insurance companies and appraisers see historically accurate work using period-appropriate materials, they recognize the investment you’ve made in preserving both safety and heritage.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving East Freetown and surrounding Bristol County communities for over 20 years. We’ve seen how modern repair methods can damage historic chimneys, and we’ve made it our mission to do better.
We take on the challenging restoration jobs that other companies avoid. When you have a century-old chimney that needs specialized care, you need contractors who understand the difference between lime mortar and Portland cement, who know why softer materials work better with historic brick, and who can source period-accurate replacements.
East Freetown’s historic homes deserve craftsmen who respect their heritage. We’ve built our reputation on preserving the character of Bristol County’s oldest homes while ensuring they’re safe for modern families.
We start with a thorough inspection that goes beyond surface problems. Historic chimneys often have issues that aren’t immediately visible—settling damage, inappropriate previous repairs, or missing safety features like proper liners. We document everything with photos and measurements before any work begins.
Next comes the careful dismantling process. We salvage every original brick that can be reused and analyze your existing mortar to create an authentic match. This isn’t about speed—it’s about preserving as much original material as possible while ensuring structural integrity.
The restoration itself follows traditional methods and bonding patterns. We use lime-based mortars that are softer than your historic brick, preventing moisture trapping and future damage. When we install modern safety features like stainless steel liners, we do it in ways that don’t compromise your chimney’s historic character. You get a chimney that looks authentic but functions safely for decades to come.
