Real Chimney & Fireplace Project Photos

Original field photos from chimney and fireplace work. Before-and-after labels are used only where the images are a verified match; other photos are identified as completed work or documented conditions.

From Our Work Around Atlanta

Project notes and before-and-after photos from our field work.

Gas Fireplace System Installation in Roswell

At a Roswell home, ATL Chimney installed a gas fireplace system in the existing firebox. The before photo shows the fireplace before the log set was fitted; the after photo shows the completed installation with the gas logs lit.

This project documents a gas-system installation in an existing fireplace. Share a photo of your fireplace and any appliance label when asking about a similar project.

Leaking Chase Cover Replacement in Alpharetta

At an Alpharetta home, we replaced a chase cover that was leaking. The before photo shows the rusted cover on the blue-sided chimney chase; the after photo shows the new cover fitted around the round chimney termination.

After — Replacement chase cover around the round chimney termination on the same Alpharetta home

These photos document the cover replacement. If you have a similar concern, note where water appears and whether it follows rain when requesting a leak evaluation.

Chimney Chase, Siding and Trim Replacement in Marietta

At a Marietta home, we replaced the chimney chase, siding and trim. The before photo shows the old rusted top and weathered exterior. The after photo shows the completed chase with new siding, trim and a white cover assembly.

This project included the chase exterior as well as the top. When asking about similar work, include photos of the siding and trim so the full scope can be discussed.

Brick Chimney Repair in Atlanta

An Atlanta homeowner asked us to repair their chimney. The before photos show displaced brickwork and deterioration around the chimney top. The completed photo documents the repaired masonry and a large cap over the flues.

After — Same Atlanta chimney after masonry repair with a large cap over the flues

This example shows why the condition of the brickwork matters when defining a repair scope. A cap and the masonry beneath it are separate parts of the work.

Chase Cover and Water-Damage Repair in Marietta

A Marietta homeowner reported water entering the home, a rusted chase cover and rotted trim. Our roof evaluation identified the chase cover as the source of the water entry. We replaced it with a better-fitting cover and repaired the resulting water damage, including the affected trim.

After — Same Marietta chase after cover replacement and repair of water-damaged trim

The repair addressed both the entry point and the damage it had caused. When reviewing a similar scope, ask whether damaged trim and other affected materials are included alongside the cover replacement.

Missing Chimney Crown in Atlanta

An Atlanta homeowner reported water entering her home. On the roof, we found that the chimney had no crown covering the masonry around the flues and identified this as the source of water entry. We repaired the chimney top by adding the missing crown.

The before photo shows a cap over one flue while the surrounding chimney top remains open. It illustrates the difference between a flue cap and a crown: they cover different parts of the chimney.

Two Documented Restoration Examples

Smoke Chamber Resurfacing

The matched photos show the same smoke chamber before and after resurfacing. The earlier image records dark, irregular masonry surfaces; the later image shows a continuous light-colored surface over that area.

This example shows the visible surface change. The photos alone do not establish draft performance, the condition of the full flue, or clearance for use; those questions belong in the inspection findings and repair scope.

Smoke chamber repair options

Firebox Masonry Restoration

The matched firebox photos document worn interior surfaces before masonry restoration and clean, light-colored firebrick afterward. They record work inside the fireplace, a different area from the smoke chamber above it.

When reviewing a similar estimate, ask which firebox surfaces or joints are included and whether other chimney components need separate attention. The visible finish does not describe the condition of components outside the photo.

Photos show individual field conditions and completed work. Every chimney and fireplace is different, so the appropriate scope is based on an on-site evaluation rather than a photo alone.
