When your historic Mount Hope chimney needs repair, you need someone who understands 19th-century construction and won’t disappear halfway through the job.

You’ll sleep better knowing your family is protected from chimney fires and carbon monoxide. No more worrying about smoke backing up into your living room or water damage destroying your historic home’s interior.
Your heating bills drop when your chimney draws properly. That crackling fire actually heats your home instead of sending warm air straight up a damaged flue.
Most importantly, you avoid the $1,000-$3,000 cost of a complete chimney rebuild. Catching problems early means simple repairs instead of major reconstruction projects that drag on for months.
We’ve been serving Rhode Island homeowners with honest chimney repair work. We understand the specific challenges that Mount Hope’s historic homes face – from coastal moisture affecting 150-year-old brickwork to the unique creosote patterns that develop in these older flue systems.
Our technicians know the difference between a quick patch job and a lasting repair. When we examine your chimney’s mortar joints, flue liner, and crown, we explain exactly what needs attention and why.
You get straight answers, not sales pitches. If your chimney just needs cleaning, we won’t try to sell you a new liner. If it needs major work, we’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and how we’ll fix it.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system – from the firebox to the crown. We check mortar joints for cracks, examine the flue liner for damage, and look for signs of water infiltration or structural issues.
You get a detailed explanation of what we found, complete with photos when needed. We explain which problems need immediate attention for safety and which can wait for your next maintenance cycle.
Our repairs use materials designed for New England weather. Concrete mixes that resist freeze-thaw cycles. Stainless steel liners rated for your specific heating system. Proper flashing that actually keeps water out instead of channeling it into your walls.

Your chimney repair includes everything needed to restore safe operation. Cracked mortar gets repointed with weather-resistant materials. Damaged flue liners are replaced with properly sized stainless steel or clay options. Leaky crowns are rebuilt or sealed to prevent water damage.
Mount Hope’s historic homes often need specialized attention. Those beautiful 19th-century chimneys weren’t built with modern materials, so repairs require understanding both old construction methods and current safety codes.
Water damage is particularly common here due to Rhode Island’s coastal climate. We fix not just the visible damage but the underlying cause – whether it’s failed flashing, a cracked crown, or deteriorated mortar joints that let moisture penetrate your chimney structure.
