"We bought our first home in Grant Park last year and had no idea how much maintenance a chimney needed. Ricardo’s team swept it, found a small crack, and fixed it before it became a disaster. They explained everything in plain English—no confusing jargon. Our fireplace works perfectly now, and we finally feel like we can use it without worry."
"After a summer storm left our chimney looking rough, we called Ricardo J. Chimney Co. They waterproofed it and installed a new cap. The difference is night and day—no more leaks, and the bricks look brand new. They were on time, professional, and didn’t try to upsell us on unnecessary work."
"As a first-time homeowner, I was nervous about hiring a chimney sweep. Ricardo’s team put me at ease from the start. They arrived early, did a thorough job, and even showed me how to check my chimney myself. The free estimate and honest pricing were a huge relief—no hidden fees or pushy sales tactics."
"Our gas fireplace started acting up, and we weren’t sure if it was the logs or the vent. Ricardo’s team serviced it quickly and found a clogged burner. They fixed it on the spot and explained how to keep it running smoothly. Great service at a fair price—highly recommend."
"We inherited a chimney in rough shape when we bought our Midtown condo. Ricardo’s team repaired the crown, repointed the mortar, and waterproofed it. The work was done in a day, and they even helped us file the insurance claim. Our chimney looks and functions like new."
"We had a chimney fire scare last winter and knew we needed a professional ASAP. Ricardo’s team came out the same day, swept it, and found the cause—a buildup of creosote we didn’t even know was there. They were thorough, fast, and didn’t make us feel stupid for not knowing what to look for. A lifesaver."

Schedule your first chimney sweep immediately. Even if the previous owners claimed it was “just inspected,” Atlanta’s climate and seasonal use create buildup faster than you’d expect. A fresh start ensures your chimney is safe for winter fires and meets local safety codes.
A Level 1 inspection is the standard for routine maintenance—we check the accessible parts of your chimney from the roof and firebox. A Level 2 adds a video scan of the flue and is required if you’ve had a chimney fire, earthquake, or structural change to your Atlanta home.
Avoid burning pine or any softwood in your Atlanta fireplace. These woods create more creosote—a sticky, flammable residue that coats chimney walls. Stick to hardwoods like oak or hickory to reduce buildup and keep your chimney safer longer.
That campfire smell is creosote off-gassing, a common issue in Atlanta homes with infrequently used chimneys. Moisture from humidity and lack of airflow reactivates the residue, creating odors. A thorough sweep and chimney cap installation usually solve it for good.
Signs include cracks in the flue tiles, excessive creosote buildup despite regular sweeping, or smoke leaking into your living room during use. If your Atlanta home was built before 1980, the liner may already be outdated—we’ll assess its condition during inspection.
Schedule in late spring or early summer. This avoids peak fall demand, ensures your chimney is ready for winter, and lets you address any repairs before cold weather hits. Avoid waiting until the first cold snap—Atlanta’s busy season fills up fast.
Absolutely. Animals chew through chimney caps, nest in flues, and block airflow, creating fire hazards and carbon monoxide risks. We install heavy-duty caps and screen mesh to keep critters out permanently.
Atlanta’s pricing is competitive with nearby suburbs like Decatur or East Point, but costs vary based on chimney height, flue condition, and whether repairs are needed. We provide transparent quotes upfront—no hidden fees or surprise charges.
