When your historic chimney restoration is done right, you’re not just fixing problems – you’re safeguarding decades or centuries of architectural heritage. Your North Smithfield home maintains its authentic character while meeting today’s safety standards.
You’ll sleep better knowing your family is protected from structural issues that plague older chimneys. Your property value stays strong because our restoration work respects historical accuracy, not shortcuts that damage your home’s integrity.
The right restoration prevents costly future repairs by addressing root causes with period-appropriate materials and techniques. You get a chimney that works safely for your family while honoring the craftsmanship of Providence County’s historic builders.
We’ve been restoring historic chimneys across Norfolk and Plymouth Counties for over 25 years. We understand how North Smithfield’s historic villages – from Slatersville to Union Village – present unique restoration challenges.
Our team knows the difference between lime mortar and Portland cement, and why that matters for your 19th-century chimney. We’ve worked on properties throughout Providence County’s historic districts, from Colonial-era farmhouses to Victorian-era mill worker housing.
You’re not getting generic repair work. You’re getting specialists who understand how coastal New England weather affects historic masonry and what materials actually belong in your era of construction.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection to understand your chimney’s original construction methods and identify any inappropriate previous repairs. We document the existing mortar composition and brick types to ensure accurate matching.
Next, we carefully remove any modern materials that are causing damage – like hard Portland cement patches that trap moisture in soft historic brick. We source period-appropriate materials, including lime-based mortars that breathe properly with your original masonry.
Our restoration work follows preservation standards, using techniques that complement your chimney’s age and construction style. We rebuild damaged sections with matching materials and proper mortar mixes that are softer than the original brick, preventing future deterioration.
