"Very professional. We bought this house a little over a year ago, as the former owners never stuck a dime into it, last winter we were afraid to use the fireplace, assuming they never cleaned it. Their inspection found the chimney to be clean and just a start of rust on the metal on top. They apologized for needing to charge me. Great young men, and honest. I was impressed and will use my fireplace this year and hire them again to clean it."

"Charlie and team installed a wonderful gas stove in an old coal burning fireplace. This is the second one they have installed. The first one, installed in the living room, spoiled me completely. The second one was installed yesterday in the den. The team came promptly at 8 am and left in two hours. There was no mess left--only a beautiful stove that looks like it has been in the house forever. Perfect. The team of workers was polite and completely professional. You won't go wrong when you hire Oconee Chimney."

"Sean with A Advance Chimney Services came out this afternoon to clean my chimney. He did a very nice job and a very clean job. Pointed out some problems I was not even aware of. He had the material in his van to make all the repairs on the same trip. Very happy with the work! It is a much safer fireplace now! Thanks Sean and the team at A Advanced Chimney Service!"

"My wife and I needed grading and 8 pallets of sod delivered so we could do an overhaul of our back yard. Jason, Ryan, and their crew did an exceptional job at getting all of that work done, even when mother nature was against us. When getting quotes from various companies, Jason was also the only person to explain to me the importance of how much sunlight was needed to allow the Bermuda grass to flourish. We wound up having to remove 10 trees for this to happen, so I really appreciated his expertise when he initially came to inspect the area in question. Overall, we are more than happy with the quality of work and how transparent Jason was throughout the process. Going forward, I will definitely be using The GreenKeepers should another occasion arrive!"

"I wanted an inspection to be sure that my chimney was in good shape. It was; however, it was an inherited and MC pointed out several important things about use - the gas logs are working fine but are older and not vent-free (so be sure damper is open when using), prior owners had left real pine cones in the fireplace (a no-no), and no evidence of leaking. MC sells vent-free logs, but suggested a less expensive source from which I could order. I appreciated the time and attention to my particular situation."

"We had Greenstone install a new granite flagstone patio with granite fire pit and sitting wall. The Green team did an amazing job from design and to the end product. Their crews were so great, professional and nice! We are so happy with their work and are excited to use our new outdoor space this summer!"

"Very responsive - came out the next day to measure the chimney and do extensive cleaning (we had wasps - ew!). They got the chimney cap replacement sooner than expected and were out within the day to replace it. Will definitely use again for any chimney needs! Highly highly suggest."

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Athens, GA

Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.

Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.

Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.

Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.

Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
