Hear from Our Customers
Your chimney works safely again without compromising what makes your home special. The restoration maintains your property’s historic designation value while ensuring modern safety standards. You get authentic materials like lime mortar that actually work with your original masonry instead of fighting against it.
No more worrying about water damage creeping through inappropriate repairs. No more wondering if previous contractors used the wrong materials that are slowly destroying your bricks. Your restored chimney handles New England weather the way it was designed to, protecting your investment for decades to come.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving historic homes throughout Bristol County for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with Acushnet Center’s older properties, many built in the 1950s and earlier.
We specialize in the preservation techniques that Bristol County’s 50 National Register historic places require. We work with the historically compatible materials your home needs—lime mortar, matching antique bricks, and traditional methods that respect your property’s original construction.
First, we conduct a thorough assessment of your chimney’s condition, identifying original materials and any previous repairs that might be causing problems. We look for the specific issues that affect historic chimneys—lime mortar deterioration, settling damage, and inappropriate modern patches.
Next, we carefully remove damaged materials while preserving everything we can. We source historically appropriate replacement materials, including lime mortar that’s softer than your original bricks and allows proper moisture movement.
The restoration work follows preservation standards, using techniques that match your chimney’s original construction. We rebuild damaged sections, repoint mortar joints with compatible materials, and address any structural issues without compromising the historic fabric. Finally, we ensure everything functions safely while maintaining your home’s authentic character.
