Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing your historic chimney will serve your family for decades to come, just like it served the families before you.
Your investment pays off immediately through improved home value and long-term through avoided emergency repairs that cost three times more than doing it right the first time.
We’ve been restoring historic chimneys in Cranston and throughout Providence County for over 25 years. We’re not general contractors trying to figure out your stone-ender or vintage brick chimney as we go.
Our CSIA-certified technicians understand the specific construction methods, materials, and techniques used in Rhode Island’s historic homes. We know why your pre-1900s chimney likely doesn’t have a liner, how coastal moisture affects Cranston’s brick and mortar, and exactly which restoration approaches will preserve your chimney’s original character while meeting today’s safety codes.
Cranston’s rich history includes everything from 18th-century stone-enders to Victorian-era industrial homes, and we’ve worked on them all. When you’re dealing with a chimney that’s been serving families for over a century, you need someone who respects that history and knows how to preserve it properly.
We start with a thorough inspection that goes far beyond what general contractors typically do. We’re looking for the specific issues that affect historic chimneys: missing or deteriorated liners, original mortar that’s failing after decades of freeze-thaw cycles, and structural problems that develop when these old chimneys aren’t properly maintained.
Next, we develop a restoration plan that preserves your chimney’s historic integrity while addressing every safety concern. This might include installing proper liners in chimneys that were built before lining was standard, repointing with mortar that matches the original composition, or rebuilding sections using traditional techniques and materials that match your home’s era.
During restoration, we protect your home with multiple layers of drop cloths and use specialized HEPA-filtered equipment designed for historic renovation work. We’re not just cleaning up after ourselves—we’re preserving the rest of your historic home while we work. The final result is a chimney that looks period-appropriate but functions with modern safety and efficiency.
