Our team specializes in preservation-focused techniques that honor your home’s historic character. We’ve worked on similar vintage properties throughout the East Side, understanding how coastal moisture affects masonry and the specific restoration needs of pre-1900s construction.
When you choose us, you’re working with craftsmen who respect your home’s history while ensuring it serves your family safely for generations to come.
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your chimney’s structure, mortar, and flue system. This tells us exactly what restoration work is needed and helps us identify any previous repairs done with inappropriate modern materials that could be causing problems.
Next, we carefully remove damaged sections while salvaging original materials whenever possible. We source period-appropriate replacement bricks through specialized suppliers and use historically compatible lime mortar that works better with your vintage masonry than modern Portland cement.
Our restoration includes proper repointing, structural repairs, and installation of necessary safety features like chimney liners—all done with techniques that preserve your chimney’s historic integrity. You’ll receive detailed documentation of the work completed and recommendations for ongoing maintenance.

Historic chimney restoration requires specialized knowledge of traditional building methods and materials. We use lime-based mortars that match your original construction, allowing proper moisture movement through the masonry system instead of trapping water like rigid modern cements.
Fox Point’s historic homes often feature unique construction details not found in modern chimneys. Our restoration work addresses these specific characteristics, from traditional flue sizing to period-appropriate crown designs that complement your home’s architectural style.
We source matching antique bricks through our established networks of salvage yards and specialized suppliers. When replacement materials are needed, we ensure they’re compatible with your existing masonry in both appearance and performance, maintaining your home’s authentic character throughout Providence County’s historic district.
