Hear from Our Customers
Your historic chimney tells the story of Mount Pleasant’s rich architectural past. When restored properly, it becomes a functional centerpiece that adds value to your home while protecting your family.
You get a chimney that works like it should – drawing smoke cleanly, venting safely, and standing strong against Rhode Island’s harsh winters. The craftsmanship respects your home’s original design while meeting today’s safety codes.
No more worrying about structural damage, water leaks, or fire hazards. Just a beautifully restored chimney that honors your home’s history and serves your family for generations to come.
We’ve been restoring Mount Pleasant’s historic chimneys for decades, serving Providence County homeowners who value architectural preservation. We understand the unique challenges of Rhode Island’s stone-ender chimneys and colonial-era masonry construction.
Our team knows the critical difference between lime mortar and modern cement – and why using the wrong materials can destroy historic bricks. We’ve worked on homes dating back to the 1600s, preserving architectural details that make Mount Pleasant’s historic district special.
Every restoration project starts with understanding your home’s original construction methods. Then we use period-appropriate materials and time-tested techniques to bring your chimney back to life.
First, we inspect every inch of your chimney – from the foundation to the crown. We look for settling damage, inappropriate previous repairs, and structural issues that threaten your home’s safety.
Next comes the careful removal of damaged materials. We salvage original bricks whenever possible and source period-appropriate replacements when needed. Our mortar analysis ensures we match the original lime-based mixtures that work with your home’s age.
The restoration itself uses traditional masonry techniques. We repoint joints with softer mortars that allow your historic bricks to breathe. If liner installation is needed, we choose methods that preserve the chimney’s original dimensions and draft characteristics.

Historic chimney restoration in Mount Pleasant requires specialized knowledge of Rhode Island’s unique architectural heritage. Many homes in Providence County feature distinctive stone-ender designs and colonial-era construction methods that demand careful attention.
Our restoration services address the specific challenges of aging masonry systems. We handle everything from repointing deteriorated mortar joints to rebuilding collapsed sections using historically accurate techniques.
Mount Pleasant’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on historic masonry. We use lime-based mortars that flex with temperature changes instead of cracking like modern cement. This approach protects your original bricks and prevents the accelerated deterioration that comes from incompatible repairs.
