Hear from Our Customers
Your historic chimney gets the specialized care it deserves. We understand that restoring a century-old chimney isn’t the same as fixing a modern one—it requires different materials, techniques, and knowledge.
You’ll have a chimney that maintains its original character while meeting today’s safety standards. No more worrying about structural issues, water damage, or fire hazards that come with aging masonry.
The restoration process addresses everything from deteriorating lime mortar to missing chimney liners, using period-appropriate materials that work with your home’s original construction. Your investment protects both your family’s safety and your property’s historic value.
We’ve been restoring historic chimneys throughout Providence County for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with Valley Falls’ historic homes—from the mill workers’ houses near the Blackstone River to the grand Victorian homes throughout Cumberland.
Historic chimney restoration isn’t something you trust to just anyone. We know the difference between lime mortar and Portland cement, why soft historic bricks need specific handling, and how to source materials that match your home’s era.
Our work preserves the architectural integrity that makes Valley Falls special while ensuring your chimney operates safely for your family today.
We start with a thorough assessment of your historic chimney’s condition, identifying original materials, previous repairs, and structural issues. This isn’t a quick visual inspection—we examine everything from the foundation to the crown.
Next comes the careful removal of inappropriate modern materials and damaged components. We document what we find, often uncovering construction details that tell the story of your home’s history.
The restoration uses historically compatible materials. Lime mortar instead of modern cement. Salvaged bricks that match your chimney’s era. Traditional techniques that respect your home’s original construction methods.
Finally, we address modern safety requirements without compromising historic character. This might include installing a properly sized liner, improving ventilation, or reinforcing structural elements using period-appropriate methods.

Historic chimney restoration in Valley Falls requires understanding the specific challenges of Providence County’s climate and building history. Our restoration services address the freeze-thaw cycles that damage mortar joints, the water infiltration common in older structures, and the structural settling that affects century-old foundations.
We handle everything from repointing with appropriate lime mortar to rebuilding deteriorated sections using salvaged or carefully matched historic bricks. Many Valley Falls homes have chimneys that predate modern safety standards, so we install proper liners and address ventilation issues while maintaining historical accuracy.
The restoration process also considers Valley Falls’ position in the Blackstone River Valley, where industrial history means many homes have unique chimney configurations designed for coal heating systems. We understand these historical heating patterns and restore chimneys to work safely with modern heating systems while preserving their original appearance and structural integrity.
