Why Flint Chimney Co Alpharetta Is Stone Mountain’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
Most Stone Mountain homeowners we talk to have been through the same routine: a chimney company shows up late, names a low number on the phone, then doubles it standing in the driveway. We don’t operate that way. Every Stone Mountain job gets a written price before the first tool comes off the truck, and the number on that sheet is the number on your invoice. That’s the Garrison Standard, the same code every Garrison Partners location has followed since 2002.
Our Chimney Repair team knows what Stone Mountain’s housing stock throws at them. Ranch and split-level homes from the 1950s through the 1980s dominate this area, and brick veneer over wood framing is the rule. That means flashing failures and crown cracks show up differently here than they do in newer subdivisions. We dispatch crews from our Atlanta office directly to Stone Mountain, so scheduling is straightforward and we’re not routing calls through three time zones.
Hank Delano, who runs Flint Chimney Co Alpharetta, holds every Stone Mountain repair to the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within one year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No argument. No re-inspection fee. That’s the standard we’ve worked under since we opened as part of the Garrison Partners family, and it applies to every job in Stone Mountain, from Smoke Rise to the streets off Five Forks Trickum.
Styles & brands we work with





Chimney Flashing Repair in Stone Mountain
Chimney flashing repair in Stone Mountain addresses the metal strips where the chimney meets the roofline, and it’s one of the most common repairs we do in the 30083 and 30087 zip codes. Rain gets driven hard against Stone Mountain’s slopes and subdivisions during summer thunderstorms, and when flashing rusts through or pulls away from the brick, water travels straight into the attic and down the chimney chase. A proper flashing repair in this area typically runs $400 – $900 depending on how many pieces need replacing and whether the roofline is a single or multi-level split.
What Flashing Repair Actually Involves
We remove the old flashing, inspect the mortar bed beneath it, and install new step flashing and counter-flashing lapped correctly against the brick. On most Stone Mountain homes, the original flashing was installed at the same time as the roof, which means it’s often 20 to 30 years old and well past its useful life. We seal the top edge with a professional-grade elastomeric sealant, not a cheap caulk from a box store.
Signs Your Stone Mountain Home Needs Flashing Repair
Water staining on the ceiling near the fireplace, damp drywall in the chimney chase, or musty smells in the room after heavy rain all point to flashing trouble. In Smoke Rise, where a lot of homes have wide chimneys with multiple flues, we often see flashing that was installed as a single continuous piece rather than properly stepped, which fails sooner. Call us at (762) 600-1468 and we’ll inspect it before recommending a dollar figure.
Chimney Crown Repair in Stone Mountain
Chimney crown repair in Stone Mountain fixes the concrete or mortar slab that covers the top of the chimney, and it’s a job this market needs more than most. Stone Mountain sits in a high-humidity climate with frequent summer downpours, and when water soaks into a cracked crown and then freezes during one of the area’s occasional winter cold snaps, the ice expands and widens the crack. A crown rebuild or resurfacing in Stone Mountain typically costs $350 – $850 depending on the chimney size and whether the crown needs full replacement or just sealing.
How Crown Repair Stops Spalling Brick
A failing crown lets water run down the interior of the chimney rather than off the drip edge. That water absorbs into the brick and mortar below, and over years of wet-dry cycles the brick face begins to pop off in thin layers. Stone Mountain’s acidic rain accelerates this more than you’d see in drier parts of Georgia. We rebuild the crown with a proper overhang and drip edge, then seal it with a breathable waterproofing product from Gelco or another trade-grade brand.
Crown Repair on Multi-Flue Stone Mountain Chimneys
Larger chimneys, like the ones we see throughout Smoke Rise and the neighborhoods off Hugh Howell Road, have wider crowns and more places for water to sit. When a house was built with two or three flues, the crown often wasn’t poured with enough slope to shed water cleanly. We correct the pitch, repair any cracked areas around the flue openings, and make sure the crown sheds water the way it should have from the start.
Trusted Brands We Service in Stone Mountain
We install and repair products from HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco, so when you approve a repair in Stone Mountain, you know exactly what materials are going in. We keep common sizes in stock for fast turnaround, and for the custom cap work Smoke Rise chimneys often require, we order directly from the manufacturer and schedule the return visit as soon as the piece arrives. You get the same brands we’d put on our own homes, priced by the job, not by what we think we can charge.

AfterCommon Chimney Repair Problems We See in Stone Mountain Homes
- Spalling brick and degraded mortar. Decades of acidic rain and high humidity eat at the original masonry on 1960s through 1980s chimneys, especially on homes around Rockbridge Road and the 30083 zip code. The brick face loosens and flakes, and the mortar bed behind it starts to crumble.
- Custom chimney caps missing or corroded. Smoke Rise homes with multiple unusual flues often had caps that were never sized correctly in the first place. A missing or rusted-out cap lets rain, animals, and debris into the flue, which accelerates crown and liner damage faster than almost anything else we see.
- Cracked clay flue liners. The ranch and split-level homes that make up much of Stone Mountain’s housing stock were built with clay tile liners that shift and crack after decades of thermal cycling. A cracked liner lets smoke and carbon monoxide move into wall cavities instead of up and out the chimney.
- Flashing failures at the roofline. The steep pitches and multiple roof levels common on split-levels in Stone Mountain create more flashing joints than a simple ranch. Every joint is a place where water can find a way in, and after two or three Georgia storm seasons, it usually does.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Stone Mountain
Homes in Smoke Rise were originally built as a gated golf community with larger, older chimneys, many of which have multiple flues with unusual dimensions that standard off-the-shelf caps simply don’t fit. A 9×13 flue opening, for example, isn’t a size you’ll find at a supply house, which is why we order custom-fabricated caps for these jobs. On a split-level off Hugh Howell Road, our tech found a two-flue chimney where the abandoned furnace flue was entirely uncapped, letting rain soak the interior masonry. We installed a custom Copperfield cap sized to the odd flue, rebuilt the crown with a proper drip edge, and sleeved the fireplace flue with a DuraFlex liner to restore draft and stop the spalling. If your Smoke Rise chimney has been patched with something that doesn’t fit, call (762) 600-1468 for a fix that’s sized correctly.
No. Spalling brick is structural water damage: water soaks into the brick, freezes or sits through humid cycles, and the face of the brick pops off in layers. In Stone Mountain, where acidic rain and high humidity are the norm, spalling means the chimney’s outer shell is actively losing mass and the interior masonry is getting wetter every season. It’s repairable with mortar repointing and brick replacement, but ignoring it only makes the repair bigger. A chimney sweep or inspection is the right place to start, and any repair we quote comes with a written one-year guarantee.
Every year, before burning season. If you own a larger home in Smoke Rise or off Hugh Howell Road with two or three flues, you have more places for water to enter, more crowns to crack, and more liners to fail than a single-flue house. An annual Level 1 inspection catches crown cracks, flashing gaps, and liner damage before any of them become a $1,500 rebuild instead of a $400 repair. For a house with several appliances tied into the chimney system, an inspection runs $149 – $249 in Stone Mountain.
In most cases, yes. We sleeve the existing flue with a DuraFlex stainless steel liner, which restores draft and seals the cracks without tearing apart the chimney chase. This works on the cracked clay liners we commonly see in Stone Mountain’s ranch and split-level homes, and it typically costs less than half of a full chimney rebuild. The process involves dropping the liner into the existing flue, insulating the space around it, and reconnecting the appliance or fireplace. If the damage is isolated and the surrounding masonry is sound, this is the fix we recommend first.
They do, and it’s more common here than people expect. Stone Mountain doesn’t get a hard winter, but it gets enough freeze-thaw cycles each year that water sitting in a crown crack will freeze, expand, and wedge the crack wider. The real driver is the humidity: water from summer storms saturates the crown and the top few courses of brick, and then even one night below freezing is enough to do damage. That’s why we rebuild Stone Mountain crowns with a proper drip edge and seal them with a breathable product, so water doesn’t sit there in the first place. Call (762) 600-1468 to have yours looked at before the next cold snap.
