Eds & Sons Chimney started as a family operation right here in Providence, built on the belief that homeowners deserve straight answers and skilled hands — not sales pitches. Our founder, Ed, learned the trade working alongside seasoned chimney professionals throughout Rhode Island before establishing his own company and passing that hands-on knowledge to the next generation. From the start, the mission has been simple: show up on time, do the job correctly, and leave every home safer than we found it. That philosophy hasn't changed, and it's the reason our Providence customers call us back season after season.
Today, Eds & Sons serves hundreds of homes across the greater Providence area each year, covering everything from routine annual sweeps to full liner replacements and complex masonry restorations. Our technicians train continuously on the latest NFPA 211 standards, camera inspection technology, and liner installation best practices, so the quality of work reflects not just experience but current industry knowledge. We're fully licensed in Rhode Island, carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers' comp, and we pull every permit the law requires. When we sign off on a job, you can trust the paperwork is clean and the work is code-compliant.
Providence is our home, and we take that personally. We sponsor local community events, refer customers to other trusted local tradespeople, and make ourselves available for questions even after the job is finished. When a customer on Atwells Avenue calls us back three years later because they remember how thoroughly we explained their chimney crown issue, that means more to us than any advertisement. We're not the cheapest option in Rhode Island, and we don't try to be — we're the option that gets it right the first time, documents everything, and stands behind every job with a genuine satisfaction guarantee.

Rhode Island's heating season typically kicks in hard by mid-October. We open our fall scheduling in July so you're not left on a three-week wait list when the temperature drops. Early booking means you get your preferred time slot, a fully prepped chimney, and zero last-minute stress when the first cold front arrives from the north.
Every Eds & Sons job begins with a clear, written estimate before any work starts. No surprise add-ons, no vague line items. We explain exactly what we found, exactly what we recommend, and exactly what it will cost — so you can make an informed decision rather than a pressured one. Your trust matters more than a single transaction.
Eds & Sons carries full Rhode Island contractor liability insurance and workers' compensation on every technician. We pull required permits for liner installations and structural repairs and ensure all work meets the current NFPA 211 standard. When your insurance company, real estate agent, or home inspector asks for documentation, we have everything ready.
We've worked inside Federal Hill row houses, East Side Victorians, Elmhurst ranches, and everything in between. Providence's older housing stock has unique chimney configurations — offset flues, undersized throats, pre-code clay tile liners — that demand technicians who've seen them before. Our crew brings that specific, hands-on local knowledge to every inspection and repair.
