Ashby Chimney Marietta serves Powder Springs with crews that know the difference between a 1970s masonry chimney off Brownsville Road and a prefab unit in a subdivision built last decade. That distinction drives the repair approach, the parts we stock, and the price you pay.

Why Ashby Chimney Marietta Is Powder Springs’s Preferred Fireplace Repair Company

Powder Springs homeowners call us after getting burned by no-shows and changing quotes. The Kingswell Way is our answer: say the price, show up in the window, leave it cleaner, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails. That’s not a slogan. It’s five things we do on every single job, including the small ones.

We’re not a franchise. Ashby Chimney Marietta is independently owned and operated under the Kingswell Guarantee, and Nathan Corliss runs this location with the same trade standards we’ve held across the network. Since 2002, our crews have repaired fireplaces throughout Cobb County and Powder Springs specifically, which means we know what fails in this housing stock before we even set foot inside.

Every technician who walks into your Powder Springs home is background-checked, uniformed, and carrying professional-grade materials from recognized chimney-trade brands like DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco. Not whatever was left in the van from a job in Dallas. And if the repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back free. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, written into every repair we do.

Wood Stove Installation in Powder Springs

Wood stove installation in Powder Springs runs $1,800 – $4,600 depending on the stove type and whether we’re running a new stainless liner through an existing masonry chimney or installing a complete prefab system in a home without one. Older brick ranches and split-levels throughout Powder Springs often have a masonry fireplace that’s never been converted, and a wood stove becomes a serious heating option when Georgia’s winter humidity makes the cold feel worse than the thermometer says.

Running a New Flue Liner

A wood stove needs a liner sized for the appliance, usually 6-inch stainless, and it needs to run the full length of the chimney. In pre-1980 Powder Springs homes with original clay tile flues, we almost always recommend a DuraFlex liner because the old clay is cracked or unlined entirely.

Converting an Open Fireplace

Open fireplaces in Powder Springs send most of their heat up the chimney, and they burn through wood fast. A conversion restores usable heat and gives you a sealed burn system. We’ll look at the existing firebox, check whether the damper can be removed or replaced, and give you a written number before the install starts.

Gas Fireplace Repair in Powder Springs

Gas fireplace repair in Powder Springs usually runs $150 – $450 for pilot light repair, thermocouple or thermopile replacement, and burner cleaning. If the gas valve fails or the log set needs replacement, the job can reach $650 – $1,200. Many of the newer subdivisions in Powder Springs were built with prefab gas fireplaces, and those systems have specific parts and clearance requirements that differ from the open masonry fireplaces in older sections of the city.

Pilot Light and Ignition Repairs

A pilot light that won’t stay lit is usually a thermocouple or thermopile that’s worn out, not a dangerous gas leak. We test the millivolt output, replace the component if needed, and check the burner for dust and spider debris, which is a common issue in Powder Springs during the long humid summers when fireplaces sit unused for months.

Gas Log Set Replacement

Many Powder Springs homeowners inherit a gas log set when they buy a house and never think about it until it stops producing flame. We stock replacement sets and burner pans for most major brands, and we can often match an existing set without replacing the entire fireplace. Our techs will tell you if your set can be saved or if a new one makes more sense, with the price on paper before we touch anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in Powder Springs

We repair and install fireplaces using materials from Olympia Chimney, Famco, HeatShield, and Gelco, among others. We keep common replacement components in stock for Powder Springs jobs so a damper replacement or chase cover doesn’t turn into a two-week wait for shipping. If your fireplace takes a brand we don’t immediately recognize, we’ll source the part and confirm a lead time before you commit to anything. The point is this: you know what’s going in, where it came from, and what it costs before the repair starts.

Common Fireplace Repair Problems We See in Powder Springs Homes

• Rusted-out dampers in pre-1980 homes. The original cast iron dampers in Powder Springs ranches and split-levels sit directly under an uncapped flue, so rain and humid air land right on them year-round. Once the damper seizes or corrodes through, the firebox starts taking on moisture and the mortar deteriorates faster.
• Cracked flue tiles in original masonry chimneys. When a clay tile cracks, creosote and moisture seep into the chimney chase instead of venting out. That’s a fire hazard and a structural problem, and it’s the single most common repair we recommend after an inspection in the Country Walk area.
• Missing or failed chimney caps. A surprising number of older Powder Springs homes either never had a cap installed or have one that’s rusted apart. Without a cap, heavy pollen and humid air collect in the flue, and first-degree creosote forms faster here than it does in drier parts of Georgia.
• Prefab fireplace panels cracking in newer subdivisions. Factory-built fireplaces use refractory panels that crack over time, particularly when homeowners run them hard during the occasional cold snap. Cracked panels aren’t cosmetic, they expose the metal firebox behind them and need replacement.
