You maintain the architectural character that makes your South Seekonk home unique. No modern shortcuts that clash with original construction. No materials that will cause problems down the road.
Your property value stays protected because the work respects the home’s period and style. Future buyers see authentic restoration, not quick fixes that compromise the historic integrity you’ve worked to preserve.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been restoring historic chimneys in South Seekonk and throughout Bristol County for over two decades. We take on the challenging restoration jobs that other companies avoid.
Bristol County’s historic homes demand specialized knowledge. We understand how lime mortar behaves differently than modern cement. We know where to source period-appropriate materials and how to match original construction techniques.
Most importantly, we’ve seen what happens when historic chimneys get “fixed” with the wrong approach. We’re here to do it right the first time, preserving your home’s character while ensuring it meets today’s safety standards.
We start with a thorough inspection to understand exactly what your historic chimney needs. This isn’t a quick look—we document the current condition, identify original materials, and spot any previous repairs that might be causing problems.
Next, we carefully plan the restoration approach. If original bricks can be salvaged, we clean and reuse them. We source period-appropriate materials like lime mortar that work with your chimney’s original construction rather than against it.
The actual restoration follows traditional techniques. We remove and rebuild only what’s necessary, maintaining the original bonding patterns and construction methods. Every step respects the historical integrity while bringing your chimney up to current safety standards.

Historic chimney restoration in South Seekonk requires more than standard repair techniques. We address the unique challenges that come with Bristol County’s older homes, many dating back centuries.
Our restoration includes proper repointing with lime mortar that matches the original composition. We install appropriate chimney liners when needed—most historic chimneys were built before modern liner requirements. We also address flashing issues, crown repairs, and structural problems using methods that preserve the chimney’s historical character.
South Seekonk’s coastal location means your historic chimney faces salt air and weather conditions that can accelerate deterioration. We factor these local conditions into our restoration approach, using techniques and materials that will hold up to the specific challenges of this area while maintaining historical accuracy.
