Every restoration project gets the same careful attention we’d give our own family’s historic home. We’re not just fixing chimneys—we’re preserving East Providence’s architectural heritage for the next generation.
We start with a thorough assessment using specialized equipment to examine your chimney from foundation to crown. This isn’t a quick look—we document the existing construction methods, identify period-appropriate materials, and note any structural concerns that need addressing.
Next comes the careful deconstruction phase. We photograph and catalog original elements that can be salvaged, from hand-forged hardware to period bricks that match your home’s era. Any materials we can’t save get replaced with historically accurate alternatives that maintain the authentic appearance.
The reconstruction phase combines traditional masonry techniques with modern safety features. We install proper liners, improve structural support, and ensure code compliance—all while maintaining the visual characteristics that make your chimney historically significant. You get documentation of the entire process, showing exactly what was preserved, what was replaced, and why each decision was made.
