Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Redan’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company

We’ve been working on Redan chimneys long enough to recognize the patterns. The 1970s and 1980s tract homes that dominate this stretch of DeKalb County were built with factory-built metal fireplaces that age differently than traditional masonry. When our Chimney Cap & Crown team arrives at a Redan address, we already know to check for rusted outer housings, deteriorated chase covers, and the cracked concrete crowns that Georgia humidity attacks relentlessly.

Our customers in Redan tell us they chose us because we explain what we’re seeing. Every Level-2 camera inspection ends with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict - no jargon, no scare tactics. We’ve earned a strong local reputation across eastern DeKalb, and Redan homeowners specifically mention our no-hassle upfront pricing and the fact that our technicians show up in uniform, background-checked, and ready to work.

Response time matters here. Redan sits just inside the Perimeter corridor, and we typically schedule Redan appointments within 1-2 business days, with same-day availability for active water intrusion or exposed flue conditions. We’ll be there when we say.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Redan job - in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. That’s been our standard for over 42 years, and it’s why homeowners in this area call us back when they move to a new house or recommend us to neighbors.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Redan

Chimney Cap Installation

New cap installation in Redan runs $280-$450 for a standard single-flue stainless steel unit, including proper measuring and secure mounting. Many of the homes near South Hairston Road and the older subdivisions off Redan Road never had a proper cap installed - just an open flue or a cheap galvanized cover that rusted out years ago. We measure on-site and install caps from Famco and Copperfield that fit correctly the first time, with proper screening to keep out Georgia’s squirrels, birds, and the debris that collects during Redan’s windy spring storms.

Chimney Cap Replacement

Cap replacement in Redan typically costs $240-$420, depending on whether the existing mounting hardware is salvageable. In the 30074 area, we frequently find original caps that have corroded through after 20-30 years of humid subtropical exposure. The rust stains down the chimney face are usually the first clue homeowners notice. We remove the failed unit, inspect the flue opening for hidden damage, and install a replacement that matches or exceeds the original specifications. Most cap replacements in Redan take under two hours.

Crown Repair

Concrete crown repair in Redan ranges from $350-$650 for standard masonry chimneys, with pricing dependent on crown size and the extent of cracking or spalling. Redan’s housing stock includes both traditional masonry fireplaces in the area’s older 1960s builds and the more common factory-built units from the 1970s-1980s boom. For masonry chimneys, the crown is the concrete slab that seals the top; when it cracks, Georgia’s driving rains seep straight into the flue lining and down to the firebox. We repair with professional-grade crown sealant or pour new crowns when the damage is too extensive for patching.

Crown Coating

Preventive crown coating in Redan costs $180-$320 and adds 10-15 years of protection to a sound but weathered crown. Given Redan’s humidity and the fact that many local chimneys sit unused for months at a time - accelerating moisture damage through temperature cycling - we recommend crown coating for any masonry chimney showing early hairline cracks or surface erosion. We use flexible, breathable coatings from HeatShield that move with the concrete rather than trapping moisture underneath. It’s a square deal: address the problem early, or pay for a full rebuild later.

Trusted Brands We Service in Redan

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. Our trucks stock caps, crowns, and repair materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Famco, and Copperfield - brands that professional sweeps and rebuilders have relied on for decades. For Redan homeowners, this means no waiting on special orders for standard sizes, no improvised fittings, and no wondering whether the part will last through another Georgia summer. When we inspect your chimney, we know exactly which professional-grade solution fits your unit, whether it’s a traditional masonry flue or the prefab metal chase common to Redan’s 1970s and 1980s subdivisions.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Redan Homes

• Rusted chase covers on prefab fireplaces. In Redan’s 1970s-1980s subdivisions, the galvanized steel chase covers that top factory-built chimneys routinely rust through after 30-40 years of humid exposure. Homeowners often discover this only when water starts dripping into the firebox during a hard rain.
• Cracked concrete crowns on older masonry. The 1960s brick ranches scattered through Redan have traditional masonry chimneys with concrete crowns that have endured five decades of thermal expansion and moisture intrusion. Hairline cracks widen every winter, funneling water directly into the flue system.
• Missing or improperly fitted caps. Many Redan homes lost their original caps to wind damage years ago, or never had one that fit correctly. An open flue invites rain, debris, and animal nesting - and in Georgia’s climate, an unused chimney with a missing cap becomes a moisture trap that accelerates rust and mortar decay.
• Efflorescence and spalling from trapped moisture. Redan’s humidity means even chimneys with intact crowns can suffer if the crown doesn’t shed water properly. We regularly find white mineral deposits (efflorescence) and flaking brick faces on Redan chimneys where water has been soaking in for years, often because the crown slopes toward the flue instead of away from it.
