Chimney Building Process Union Village

From Foundation to Crown - Here's What Happens

First, we assess your property and discuss your needs. Foundation requirements, height specifications, and material choices all get planned out before we touch a shovel.

Next comes the permit process. Rhode Island requires specific documentation for chimney construction, and we handle all of that paperwork. No waiting around wondering if you’re compliant.

Construction starts with the foundation and works up. Each stage gets inspected according to state requirements. The masonry work, flue installation, and final crown all meet or exceed Rhode Island building codes.

You get a final inspection and certificate of compliance when we’re done. Your chimney is ready to use safely for decades.
