Why Ashby Chimney Atlanta Is Gresham Park’s Preferred Fireplace Repair Company

We’ve worked on enough 1940s – 1970s brick ranches in Gresham Park to know what’s behind the face of an older masonry chimney: original clay tile liners, hand-mixed mortar, and decades of Georgia humidity working on both. Nathan Corliss leads our repair team, and his approach is simple: say the price, show up in the window, put the guarantee in writing. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s why homeowners in Gresham Park keep our number saved.

Every Ashby Chimney Atlanta location is independently owned and operated under the Kingswell Guarantee. For Gresham Park customers, that means a written price before any work starts, a written guarantee on every repair, and a free second visit if the repair fails within the guarantee period. We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person. No voicemail loops. No callback forms. When a Gresham Park homeowner calls about a smoky fireplace at 9:00 PM on a December evening, someone picks up.

Our techs arrive background-checked and uniformed, carrying materials from recognized chimney-trade brands. Not whatever happened to be in the van. For Fireplace Repair work, that matters because the difference between a patch job and a real fix often comes down to the liner material and the mortar mix.

Gas Fireplace Installation in Gresham Park

Gas Fireplace Installation in Gresham Park covers everything from a full vented gas log set in an existing wood-burning firebox to a direct-vent gas insert that seals off the old flue entirely. Many Gresham Park homeowners choose gas because their original clay-tile flues are cracked or the chimney was built for wood decades ago and never made the transition. In Gresham Park’s humid climate, a gas insert also removes the firewood storage problem near the foundation.

A standard gas log set with installation runs $600 – $1,800 depending on the log style and whether a new gas line needs to be plumbed. A direct-vent gas insert typically runs $2,800 – $5,500, including the unit, the venting, and the gas connection. Gresham Park homes with existing gas service see the lower end; homes that need a line run from the meter see the higher end.

Direct-Vent Inserts for Older Brick Ranches

Many split-levels and brick ranches in Gresham Park were built before direct-vent technology existed. A direct-vent insert uses a coaxial pipe that draws combustion air from outside and vents exhaust back out, which means you don’t need a functioning flue liner at all. For a home on Clifton Springs Road with a cracked clay liner, that’s often the most cost-effective route.

Gas Log Sets in Existing Masonry Fireplaces

If the flue passes a Level 2 inspection and the firebox is sound, a vented gas log set drops right in. We install the burner, run the gas line, and verify draft and carbon monoxide readings before we leave. You get flames without the wood, the ash, or the creosote buildup that Gresham Park’s oak canopy causes every fall.

Gas Fireplace Maintenance in Gresham Park

Gas Fireplace Maintenance in Gresham Park means more than wiping the glass. Gas fireplaces build up soot, mineral deposits from the gas line, and dust on the pilot assembly, and in Gresham Park’s humid summers, spider nests are a real thing inside burner tubes. A maintenance visit clears all of that, checks the thermocouple and thermopile, and confirms the venting is clear and draft is correct.

A full gas fireplace service and safety check in Gresham Park runs $125 – $250. If we find a failing thermopile or a burner that needs deep cleaning, parts and labor typically add $75 – $200. We always give a written price before doing anything, so the number you’re quoted at the door is the number on the invoice.

Pre-Season Safety Checks

The best time for gas fireplace maintenance in Gresham Park is October, before the first cold snap. We check the gas pressure at the valve, clean the pilot assembly, test the safety shutoff, and verify that the vent draws properly. Older gas fireplaces in Gresham Park’s 1960s and 1970s homes often have original millivolt valves that need adjustment or replacement after decades of use.

Pilot Light Repairs and Replacements

A pilot light that won’t stay lit is usually a dirty thermocouple or a weak thermopile, but it can also be a gas pressure issue. In Gresham Park’s older homes, we see a fair number of original gas valves that have seen 30-plus years of service. We stock replacement thermocouples, thermopiles, and pilot assemblies on the truck, so most pilot repairs are done in one visit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Gresham Park

We repair and install gas fireplaces, wood-burning fireplaces, and inserts from the brands Gresham Park homeowners actually have in their living rooms. HeatShield ceramic sealant and liner systems are what we use to resurface cracked clay flues without a full teardown. For firebox repairs and parging, we use Gelco refractory mortar and Olympia Chimney materials. On gas side, we install and service Famco venting and Copperfield components. We stock common parts for Gresham Park’s older fireplace models so we’re not making a second trip across town for a thermocouple.

Common Fireplace Repair Problems We See in Gresham Park Homes

• Cracked clay flue liners: Gresham Park’s freeze-thaw cycles hit original 1940s – 1970s clay tile liners hard. The liner cracks, hot combustion gases reach the masonry, and carbon monoxide can find its way into the house. We check for this on every inspection.
• Uncapped flues packed with leaves and nests: The oak and pine canopy over Gresham Park drops enough debris into an uncapped flue by late autumn to cause drafting problems and first-degree creosote in a single burning season. Squirrel nests in the flue are so common off Gresham Road that we look for them on every call.
• Spalled brick and failing mortar on the crown: Decades of water absorption in Gresham Park’s humid summers leave older brick chimneys with flaking faces and crumbling crowns. Water gets in, freeze-thaw does the rest, and the chimney starts falling apart from the top down.
• Rusted or missing dampers: The original cast-iron dampers in Gresham Park’s brick ranches rust through after enough humid summers. A rusted damper lets conditioned air escape year-round and lets rain, birds, and cold air into the firebox during winter.
