You’re not just fixing a chimney—you’re preserving a piece of Taunton’s history. When historic chimney restoration is done right, your home maintains its architectural integrity while gaining modern safety and efficiency.
Your chimney stops leaking without compromising the original brickwork. The mortar joints become stable again, but they breathe the way they were designed to in 1850 or 1920. Your property value stays protected because the work respects what makes your home historically significant.
Most importantly, you can use your fireplace with confidence, knowing the restoration work will last decades, not just a few winters.
We’ve been working on historic properties in Bristol County for over 25 years. We understand that your 1800s colonial or 1920s Tudor isn’t just old—it’s built differently.
Taunton’s historic homes were constructed with lime mortar, softer bricks, and techniques that modern contractors often misunderstand. We’ve seen too many beautiful chimneys damaged by well-meaning repairs using the wrong materials.
Our approach starts with understanding your home’s original construction. We match mortars, source appropriate materials, and use techniques that work with your chimney’s age, not against it.
We start with a thorough inspection to understand what your chimney needs and what previous repairs might have caused problems. Many historic chimneys in Taunton have been “fixed” with modern materials that actually create more issues over time.
Next, we carefully remove any inappropriate previous work and assess the original structure. We analyze the existing mortar to create a compatible mix—usually lime-based—that matches the strength and breathability of the original.
The restoration work itself uses traditional techniques. We repoint with historically appropriate mortar, replace damaged bricks with period-appropriate matches, and address structural issues without compromising the chimney’s historic character. Every repair is designed to work with your home’s original construction methods, ensuring long-term stability and authenticity.

Historic chimney restoration in Taunton requires specialized knowledge of Bristol County’s architectural heritage. Many of our area’s homes date back to the 1600s and 1700s, each with unique construction details that standard chimney repair doesn’t address.
Our restoration includes proper mortar analysis and matching, brick replacement with period-appropriate materials, and structural repairs that maintain historical accuracy. We address common issues like inappropriate previous repairs, settling damage, and material compatibility problems that plague historic chimneys.
For Taunton homeowners, this means restoration work that actually fits your home’s age and construction style. We understand the difference between a 1750 colonial chimney and a 1920s Tudor, and we approach each project with the specific techniques and materials your home requires.
