Professional restoration that honors Providence’s architectural heritage while ensuring modern safety standards for your vintage chimney.
Hear from Our Customers
You get a chimney that looks authentic to your home’s era but functions with today’s safety standards. No more worrying about structural integrity or code compliance—just the peace of mind that comes with proper restoration work.
Your home’s value increases immediately. Historic properties with well-maintained chimneys sell faster and for more money than those with obvious problems.
The work gets done right the first time. You won’t be calling different contractors every few years to patch up quick fixes that didn’t address the real issues.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been restoring historic chimneys throughout Providence County, RI for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with Downtown Providence’s colonial and Victorian-era homes.
We’ve worked on everything from Federal Hill’s Italian-American row houses to College Hill’s 18th-century colonials. Each project teaches us something new about how these old chimneys were built and what they need to function safely today.
Our team knows the difference between a quick repair and proper restoration. We use traditional materials and techniques when they’re appropriate, modern solutions when they’re necessary.
First, we inspect everything—not just what’s visible. Historic chimneys often have problems that aren’t obvious from the outside. We look at the foundation, the flue, the crown, and all the masonry work.
Then we create a restoration plan that respects your home’s history. If your house was built in 1890, we’re not going to suggest modern materials that will look out of place. We match mortar, find period-appropriate bricks, and maintain the original proportions.
The actual work happens in stages. We might start with structural repairs, then move to repointing the mortar joints, and finish with protective treatments. Each step gets inspected before we move to the next one.
You get regular updates throughout the process. No surprises, no hidden costs, no work that wasn’t discussed beforehand.
Ready to get started?
Structural assessment and repair of the chimney foundation and stack. Many historic chimneys in Providence have settlement issues or deteriorated mortar that needs professional attention before cosmetic work begins.
Repointing with historically accurate mortar. Modern cement-based mortars can actually damage old brick. We use lime-based mortars that match the original composition and allow the masonry to breathe properly.
Flue liner installation or repair to meet current safety codes. Your 1800s chimney probably doesn’t have a proper liner, which creates serious safety risks. We install new liners that protect your family while preserving the chimney’s appearance.
Crown reconstruction and waterproofing to prevent future damage. Providence’s weather is hard on masonry. We rebuild deteriorated crowns and apply protective treatments that keep water out without changing how your chimney looks.
