Beverly's historic chimneys need a specialist's eye
Beverly is the oldest town in Randolph County — settled in 1787 along what became the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike, just five miles south of Elkins on US-219. The historic district around Main Street and the Beverly Heritage Center is full of 19th-century homes, and many still carry their original brick chimneys. Those chimneys were built for open hearths, not modern wood stoves, and after 150-plus years of mountain winters, the mortar is often the weakest link.
We service Beverly regularly. The most common jobs here: annual sweeping for homes that heat with wood, tuckpointing on aging brick stacks, and stainless liner installations for unlined or cracked flues. If your Beverly home has a chimney older than the town's Civil War history, it deserves an inspection before heating season — not after the first cold snap.
