Hear from Our Customers
Your historic chimney works the way it was meant to—safely venting smoke and protecting your home from fire hazards. The original character stays intact, but now you have modern safety features like proper liners and updated flashing that insurance companies actually approve of.
You’re not dealing with constant repairs anymore because the restoration was done right the first time. The masonry work matches the original lime-based mortar, so it moves with your old house instead of cracking every winter. Your property value reflects the quality of the restoration work, and you can actually use your fireplace without worrying about carbon monoxide or structural issues.
Most importantly, you’ve preserved a piece of history while making it safe for your family. That’s what happens when historic chimney restoration is handled by people who understand both old construction methods and current safety requirements.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been restoring historic chimneys throughout Providence County for years. We understand how coastal moisture affects the brick and mortar in Rhode Island’s older homes, and we know the specific challenges that come with chimneys built before modern safety codes existed.
Our team is trained in both traditional masonry techniques and current safety standards. We use period-appropriate lime-based mortars that match your home’s original construction, but we also install modern safety features like proper chimney liners and updated flashing systems.
Reservoir homeowners trust us because we take the time to explain what we’re doing and why. We protect your home during the work, and we stand behind our restoration with the kind of service that keeps customers coming back year after year.
We start with a thorough inspection to understand what we’re working with. Historic chimneys often have issues that aren’t visible from the outside—missing liners, deteriorated mortar, or structural problems that developed over decades of use.
Once we know what needs attention, we carefully remove damaged materials while preserving everything that can be saved. We match the original mortar composition and brick patterns, so the restored sections blend seamlessly with the existing work. Modern safety features like stainless steel liners get installed in ways that don’t compromise the historic appearance.
The final step involves proper flashing and weatherproofing to protect your investment. We clean up thoroughly and walk you through what we’ve done, so you understand exactly how your restored chimney will perform for years to come.

Historic chimney restoration in Reservoir, RI addresses the unique challenges of homes built in the 18th and 19th centuries. Many of these properties feature original interior chimneys and colonial architecture that requires specialized knowledge to restore properly.
We handle everything from repointing original masonry with lime-based mortars to installing modern chimney liners that meet current safety codes. The work includes structural repairs, crown rebuilding, flashing replacement, and waterproofing—all done with techniques that preserve the historic character of your home.
Providence County’s coastal climate creates specific challenges for historic masonry. We understand how moisture affects different types of brick and mortar, and we use restoration techniques that account for the thermal expansion and contraction that happens in Rhode Island’s climate. This local knowledge makes the difference between restoration work that lasts and repairs that fail within a few years.
