We’ve been serving North Easton and Bristol County homeowners since the early 1990s. We understand the unique challenges of historic chimneys in this region because we’ve worked on hundreds of them.
Our team holds CSIA certification and Massachusetts contractor licensing. We’re fully insured for your protection. More importantly, we understand the specific construction techniques used in Bristol County’s historic homes and have access to period-appropriate materials like lime mortar and salvaged bricks.
North Easton’s historic homes date back to the 1800s, and each era brought different construction methods. We know these differences matter when it comes to authentic restoration that preserves your home’s character while ensuring safety.
We start with thorough documentation and inspection. Photos, measurements, and analysis of your chimney’s original construction help us understand what materials and techniques were used originally.
Next comes careful dismantling when necessary. We salvage original bricks whenever possible, cleaning them for reuse. This maintains the authentic look while reducing costs.
The restoration follows traditional bonding patterns using lime mortar that matches your chimney’s original composition. Lime mortar is softer and more breathable than modern Portland cement, making it compatible with older, softer bricks while allowing proper moisture movement.
Final inspection ensures both historic accuracy and modern safety compliance. Your restored chimney looks authentic while meeting current building codes and safety standards.

Our historic chimney restoration services address the specific needs of North Easton’s older homes. We handle everything from minor repointing with lime mortar to complete chimney rebuilds using traditional techniques.
Bristol County’s coastal climate creates unique challenges for historic chimneys. Salt air and storms cause faster deterioration of masonry, especially when previous repairs used inappropriate modern materials. We identify and correct these problems while preventing future damage.
Many historic chimneys in North Easton lack proper liners, creating fire hazards and carbon monoxide risks. We install appropriate liners that meet modern safety standards while preserving the chimney’s historic appearance. Our restoration work often includes updating smoke chambers and dampers to current codes without compromising architectural integrity.
