Most importantly, you’ve preserved a piece of history. Your restored chimney adds value to your property while honoring the craftsmanship of Rhode Island’s early builders who understood how to work with our coastal climate.
We at Above and Beyond Chimney have spent years working on historic properties throughout Providence County. We understand Harrisville’s unique position as home to the historic Mill Village District and the specific challenges that come with restoring chimneys in buildings that have weathered New England’s harsh seasons for decades.
Rhode Island’s stone-ender chimneys and colonial-era masonry require specialized knowledge. We’ve studied the techniques used by early craftsmen and combine that understanding with modern safety standards to deliver restorations that last.
Your historic home deserves contractors who respect its heritage while ensuring your family’s safety and comfort for years to come.
Every historic chimney restoration starts with a thorough assessment. We inspect your chimney’s structure, identify original materials, and document any previous modifications that may have compromised its integrity or historical accuracy.
Next, we develop a restoration plan that addresses safety concerns while preserving historical elements. This includes sourcing period-appropriate materials when possible and using techniques that match the original construction methods used in your Harrisville home.
The restoration work itself follows strict preservation standards. We protect your home’s interior with multiple drop cloths and HEPA-filtered equipment while carefully dismantling damaged sections. Each brick, stone, and mortar joint is restored or replaced using materials that match the original in both appearance and performance.
