Hear from Our Customers
You get a chimney that works the way it should. No smoke backing up into your living room. No creosote buildup waiting to ignite. No carbon monoxide sneaking into your home through cracks you can’t see.
Our certified technicians catch the problems before they catch you off guard. We find the loose flashing that’ll leak next spring. The liner cracks that could let dangerous gases escape. The blockages that make your fireplace work harder and less efficiently than it should.
When we finish your chimney inspection, you know exactly where your system stands. You get a clear report that tells you what’s working, what needs attention, and what can wait. No surprises, no guesswork – just the facts you need to keep your family safe and your heating costs reasonable.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Providence County homeowners with professional fireplace and chimney inspection services for years. We understand what Rhode Island weather does to chimneys – those freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry, the coastal moisture that accelerates deterioration, the long winters that leave heavy creosote deposits.
We’re not just another chimney company. We’re your neighbors who happen to be experts at keeping chimneys safe and efficient. Our technicians hold recognized certifications, our methods are proven, and our commitment to your safety is absolute.
Every chimney inspection we perform in Smithfield follows the same rigorous standards we’d want for our own homes. We show up on time, work clean, and give you straight answers about what we find.
We start by examining your chimney from the outside – checking the crown, chimney cap, and flashing for damage or wear. Then we move inside to inspect the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber. Our technicians use specialized equipment to examine the flue liner, looking for cracks, gaps, or deterioration that could compromise safety.
We check for proper ventilation, measure creosote buildup, and test damper operation. If we find blockages like animal nests or debris, we’ll note their location and recommend removal. Throughout the chimney inspection process, we document everything with photos and detailed notes.
The inspection typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. When we’re finished, you get a comprehensive report that explains our findings in plain language. If repairs are needed, we’ll prioritize them by safety level and give you realistic timelines and costs.

Our comprehensive chimney inspection examines every component that affects your safety and efficiency. We inspect the chimney cap and crown for weather damage, check flashing and masonry joints for leaks, and examine the chimney liner for cracks or deterioration that could allow dangerous gases to escape.
Inside your home, we evaluate the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber condition. We measure creosote deposits and check for proper ventilation. Our technicians also look for signs of water intrusion, which is particularly critical in Smithfield’s climate where freeze-thaw cycles can cause significant structural damage.
Smithfield homeowners face unique challenges with their fireplace and chimney systems. The town’s location in Providence County means exposure to coastal moisture and temperature fluctuations that accelerate chimney deterioration. Our chimney inspection services account for these local conditions, focusing extra attention on areas most vulnerable to Rhode Island weather patterns. Many Smithfield homes were built decades ago, and we know exactly what to look for in older chimney systems that serve these established neighborhoods.
