Preserve your Westport Point home’s architectural integrity with historic chimney restoration that respects both heritage and modern safety standards.
Hear from Our Customers
Your historic chimney tells the story of Westport Point’s rich maritime heritage. When restoration is done right, you get the best of both worlds: a chimney that honors your home’s 18th or 19th-century origins while meeting today’s safety standards.
You won’t have to choose between preserving history and protecting your family. Our restoration process uses period-appropriate materials like lime mortar that actually work better with your older, softer bricks than modern alternatives.
The result? A chimney that looks authentic, functions safely, and maintains your property’s value in Bristol County’s competitive historic home market.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Bristol County homeowners who care about preserving their historic properties. We know the unique challenges that come with homes built in the 1700s and 1800s.
Westport Point’s location at the confluence of the Westport River branches means your chimney has weathered decades of coastal storms and salt air. We’ve seen how previous repairs with inappropriate modern materials can actually cause more damage than they prevent.
That’s why we specialize in authentic restoration techniques that work with your home’s original construction, not against it.
First, we conduct a thorough assessment of your chimney’s age, construction, and current condition. We document everything with photos and measurements before any work begins.
Next, we carefully source period-appropriate materials. This might mean finding lime-based mortar that matches your original mix, or locating salvaged bricks from the same era through specialized suppliers.
During restoration, we follow traditional construction methods and bonding patterns. If your chimney needs rebuilding, we salvage and reuse original bricks whenever possible. Every step respects your home’s historical integrity while ensuring modern safety compliance.

Your restoration includes careful analysis and matching of original mortar composition, often lime-based rather than modern Portland cement. We use materials that are actually softer than your historic bricks, preventing the damage that rigid modern patches can cause.
In Westport Point’s Historic District, we understand the preservation requirements. Your restored chimney will meet both the Historic District Commission’s standards and current building codes.
We also address common issues specific to Bristol County’s coastal location: salt air damage, settling from decades of freeze-thaw cycles, and previous repairs that may have trapped moisture in your masonry.
