Six in ten Tucker homes went up between 1960 and 1989, which makes it unusually uniform. Those chimneys are real masonry, they are properly lined, and they are all reaching the same point at the same time — which is why we see the same three faults here over and over.

About 6 in 10 homes in Tucker went up between 1960 and 1989 (U.S. Census, 2020–2024), and that single fact decides what is likely wrong with yours.
A crown of this vintage is cracked. Not dramatically — hairline, invisible from the driveway, and quietly letting water into the chimney walls at every rainfall. Sealing a sound crown is cheap. Recasting one that has been leaking for ten years is not.
Galvanised caps fitted in the seventies and eighties have reached the end. A lot of Tucker stacks have one that is more rust than metal, or none left at all. Either way the flue is open to rain and to anything that wants to nest in it.
If a damp patch shows on the ceiling near the chimney after heavy rain, it is usually the flashing where the stack meets the roof, not the roof itself. People in these houses replace roofs over it. We check the flashing as part of the inspection.
If nobody has been up to look at your crown, that is the one to book. It costs nothing to find out, and on a Tucker chimney it is very often the answer.
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.
Twenty to thirty years before it wants sealing or recasting, which puts essentially every original Tucker crown at or past that point. A crown is poured concrete sitting out in the weather for decades, and it cracks. We photograph yours on the free inspection so you can see the condition rather than take our word for it.
Because the houses went up together. Tucker was built out largely between the sixties and the eighties, so the crowns, caps and flashing all went on within a couple of decades of each other — and they are all reaching the end within a couple of decades of each other too. It is not a coincidence and it is not a sales pitch.
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.
