Your historic chimney tells the story of Cumberland Hill’s rich past, but years of New England weather have taken their toll. You’re looking at cracked mortar, spalling bricks, and maybe water damage that threatens both your home’s structure and its historic value.

Your home value increases. Most importantly, you have peace of mind knowing your family is safe from fire hazards and carbon monoxide risks.
Our restoration process preserves original materials wherever possible and matches new components to your chimney’s historic character. You end up with a chimney that could last another century while protecting your investment in Cumberland Hill’s architectural heritage.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving historic homes throughout Providence County for years. We understand how Cumberland Hill’s freeze-thaw cycles damage century-old masonry and what it takes to restore these chimneys properly.
Our technicians receive rigorous training in historic chimney construction techniques and modern safety codes. When we work on your 1800s farmhouse or Victorian home, we’re not just fixing problems—we’re preserving Cumberland Hill’s architectural legacy.
We’ve restored chimneys on homes throughout the Arnold Mills and Ashton Historic Districts. Each project teaches us more about the craftsmanship that built these homes and the specialized techniques needed to maintain them for future generations.
First, we conduct a thorough assessment using modern inspection technology to identify all issues while documenting your chimney’s original construction methods. We photograph everything and research your home’s era to understand the original materials and techniques used.
Next, we carefully remove damaged components while salvaging original materials whenever possible. Our masons match new bricks and mortar to your chimney’s historic specifications, using traditional lime mortars when appropriate for your home’s period.
Finally, we reconstruct your chimney using a combination of historic techniques and modern safety improvements. The finished restoration looks authentic to your home’s era but includes modern flue liners and proper waterproofing to ensure decades of safe operation.
