The authentic restoration techniques we use mean your chimney will stand strong through Rhode Island’s harsh winters for decades to come.
Your neighbors will notice the difference. The craftsmanship speaks for itself when period-appropriate materials meet modern safety standards.
We have been serving historic homeowners throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts for over 25 years. We understand what makes Saylesville special – from the 1693 Eleazer Arnold House to the mill worker homes that define this National Historic District.
Our technicians train specifically on historic masonry techniques and Rhode Island’s unique coastal challenges. We’ve restored chimneys on homes dating back to the 1600s, using traditional materials like lime mortar and fieldstone when authenticity matters most.
We’re not just contractors – we’re preservationists who happen to be experts at keeping old chimneys safe and functional. Every job gets the same attention we’d give our own family’s historic home.
First, we conduct a thorough assessment of your chimney’s condition, photographing every detail and identifying both structural issues and historical significance. We research your home’s era to understand original construction methods and materials used.
Next, we develop a restoration plan that balances authentic preservation with necessary safety upgrades. We source period-appropriate materials – often lime-based mortars and locally quarried stone that match your chimney’s original construction.
The restoration work begins with careful dismantling of damaged sections, cataloging original materials for reuse wherever possible. We rebuild using traditional techniques while incorporating modern safety features like proper flashing and waterproofing that won’t compromise the historical appearance.
Finally, we conduct safety testing and provide documentation of our work for your records and insurance requirements.
