"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."

"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."

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.
