Seven in ten Alpharetta homes have been built since 1990, and the fireplaces that went into that subdivision boom are factory-built units — steel firebox, insulated metal flue, framed chase. The earliest of them are now thirty years old, which is exactly when the chase covers and the panels start going.

About 7 in 10 homes in Alpharetta have been built since 1990 (U.S. Census, 2020–2024), and that single fact decides what is likely wrong with yours.
The metal lid on top of the chase is the most common failure on an Alpharetta fireplace. The thin ones rust through, hold water, and drip it down inside the chase onto framing. By the time anything shows indoors it has been running for years.
The firebox is lined with moulded panels that crack with heat over time. Once a crack reaches the steel shell behind it, the unit is no longer rated to contain a fire and should not be burned until it is sorted.
A lot of houses from that build period have a second unit in the master bedroom that has barely been lit. It has aged at the same rate as the one downstairs and nobody has ever looked at it.
If nobody has been up to your chase cover, that is the one to book. It costs nothing to find out, and finding out early is the whole difference in what it costs to fix.
Also useful: how we sweep a chimney and everything we repair.
One visit covers the full flue, the firebox and everything on the roof — and you get a written free quote for any repair we find.
Chimney work isn’t one-size-fits-all. A single-storey flue that gets used twice a winter is a different job from a two-storey stack with a season of creosote on it.
So rather than advertise a number that changes the moment we arrive, we look at your actual chimney and give you a free estimate in writing — then you decide.
Most chimney problems start small and cheap. Left alone through a few Georgia winters, they stop being either.
The concrete slab on top takes the weather first. Hairline cracks let water in, and freeze-thaw cycles widen them until the masonry starts coming apart. We reseal before that happens.
A missing or rusted-through cap is an open invitation for rain, leaves, squirrels and birds. A new stainless cap keeps all of it out and lasts for years.
The liner is what keeps heat and combustion gases inside the flue instead of in your walls. If we find cracks or gaps, we'll show you and explain the options plainly.

The things people ask us most before booking.
Usually repaired, as long as parts are still made for the model. Cracked refractory panels, gaskets, chase covers and caps are all replaceable items. What cannot be done is patching them with something generic, because the unit is tested and listed as a complete assembly. We read the data plate, find the right parts, and tell you honestly if it has reached the end instead.
Very often not. A great many Alpharetta homes from that period have a framed chase finished in brick veneer, with a steel firebox and a metal flue inside it. From the street it reads as masonry; on the roof it is a different appliance entirely. It matters, because the parts and the price are not the same.
It depends on the height of the chimney, the type of flue and how much creosote has built up since the last sweep. That's why we start with a free estimate — we look at your actual chimney and give you a flat written price before any work starts. No trip fee, no surprises.
Once a year if you use your fireplace regularly, and always before the first burn of the season. Even a lightly used chimney should be inspected annually — animals nest in open flues over summer, and crown cracks don't announce themselves.
No. We seal off the fireplace opening and run our vacuum the whole time we work, so the soot goes into our equipment rather than onto your floor. We leave the hearth cleaner than we found it.
We cover all of metro Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs — from Woodstock and Kennesaw in the north to Fayetteville, McDonough and Covington in the south. Enter your address in the form and we'll confirm availability when we call.
