Fast, Reliable Chimney Liner & Rebuild Across Norcross
Chimney liner replacement and rebuild work in Norcross typically runs $2,800-$6,500 depending on whether we’re relining a single flue or rebuilding a century-old masonry stack, and most jobs are scheduled within 48 hours. If you’re calling from a home near Old Town Norcross or one of the 1970s subdivisions off Jimmy Carter Boulevard, we’ve likely worked on a chimney on your street already. Hearthstone Chimney Co. has been sending crews to Norcross since the early 1990s, and our trucks carry DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney liner inventory so we don’t waste your time waiting on parts.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Norcross’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company
We’ve built our reputation in Norcross one brick at a time, starting with the original masonry homes near Thrasher Park and expanding outward as Gwinnett County grew. Our Norcross customers know our technicians by name because many have called us back for annual service after we handled their liner replacement or rebuild. We’re familiar with the specific permitting requirements through Gwinnett County and the City of Norcross, so your job moves through inspection without delays.
Response time matters when you’ve got smoke backing up into the living room or a cracked flue liner threatening a house fire. Our dispatch routes from the I-85 corridor put us in Norcross within 30-45 minutes during normal business hours, and our 24/7 live answering means you’re never left talking to a machine when something goes wrong at midnight.
The housing stock here tells a story we’ve read cover to cover. We know which Beaver Ruin Road-era subdivisions have prefab units that shipped with 20-year rated liners now pushing 45 years, and we know which Old Town chimneys were rebuilt after the 1983 ice storm with mismatched brick that complicates modern rebuilds. That local knowledge saves you money and prevents callbacks.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Norcross
Stainless Steel Liner Installation
For most Norcross homes built between 1975 and 1995, a stainless steel liner from Olympia Chimney or DuraFlex is the right fix when the original clay tile has cracked or the prefab unit’s factory liner has corroded through. We size the liner to your appliance - wood stove, gas insert, or open fireplace - and pull the permit through Gwinnett County so the work is on record for your next home sale, and we can bundle this with our Fireplace Services in Norcross if your unit needs attention too. A typical stainless steel liner installation in Norcross runs $2,800-$4,200 for a standard single-flue masonry chimney.
Flexible Liner Systems
Old Town Norcross presents a specific challenge: those handsome 1920s brick chimneys often have offset flues or narrow wythes that won’t accept a rigid liner. Our flexible DuraFlex systems navigate bends and offsets without breaking the chimney’s exterior profile, which matters when you’re preserving historic character for a home on North Peachtree Street or near Lillian Webb Park. Flexible liner jobs in Norcross typically fall between $3,200-$4,800, with the premium reflecting the additional labor of working around historic mortar.
Liner Replacement for Aging Prefab Units
The rental corridors near Jimmy Carter Boulevard and the split-level neighborhoods between Singleton Road and Holcomb Bridge Road are full of prefabricated fireplaces whose original metal liners have simply aged out. We replace these with listed liner systems that restore the unit to safe operating condition, and we document the work with photos you’ll have for your insurance company or property manager. Most liner replacements in these Norcross neighborhoods run $2,200-$3,600 and finish in a single day.
Partial and Full Chimney Rebuild
When moisture intrusion from Norcross’s humid summers has destroyed the chimney’s structural integrity, we rebuild. A partial rebuild - typically the top few feet of crown, flue, and facing brick - runs $3,500-$5,500, and we always inspect our Chimney Cap & Crown in Norcross as part of the assessment. A full rebuild of a masonry stack, common in the oldest Norcross homes where the chimney has separated from the house or the firebox has collapsed, ranges from $6,500-$12,000 depending on height and access. We match brick where we can, source from Famco and Copperfield for caps and components, and stand behind the result with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild team also coordinates with our Chimney Repair in Norcross crew when a job requires crown work, tuckpointing, or structural stabilization before relining.

Trusted Brands We Service in Norcross
We stock professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield on every Norcross-bound truck. That inventory matters when we’re working in the 30092 zip code and discover a liner that’s worse than the camera inspection suggested - we don’t pack up and order parts for next week, we pull the right diameter and length from the rack and finish the job. No builder-grade substitutes, no hoping the supply house has what we need. The brands we carry are the same ones specified by manufacturers for relining work, and we keep documentation on every installation for your records and ours.
Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Norcross Homes
- Clay tile flue collapse in Old Town masonry chimneys. The original hand-laid chimneys near Thrasher Park and downtown Norcross often contain 80- to 100-year-old clay flue tiles that have cracked from thermal cycling or shifted as the chimney settled. We find collapsed liners blocking the flue entirely, which creates a genuine carbon monoxide hazard and requires immediate relining or rebuild.
- Corroded prefab liners in 1970s-1980s subdivisions. Homes near Beaver Ruin Road and along the Jimmy Carter Boulevard corridor frequently contain prefabricated fireplaces whose original metal liners have rusted through after decades of humid off-seasons. The damage is often invisible until a Level 2 camera inspection reveals holes or separation at the joints.
- Moisture-saturated creosote accelerating liner deterioration. Norcross’s humid subtropical climate produces stage-two creosote that holds moisture against the liner surface year-round. This accelerates corrosion in metal liners and spalling in clay tile, which is why we recommend annual inspection even for fireplaces that see only occasional use.
- Improper gas log retrofits without proper relining. In the investor-held rental properties common near Norcross’s commercial corridors, we’ve found gas log sets installed directly into unlined or damaged flues - a dangerous shortcut that violates manufacturer requirements and creates liability for property owners. Proper relining with a listed system corrects the hazard and satisfies code.

Pricing is comparable across Gwinnett County - we don’t inflate for Norcross addresses. The main cost drivers are chimney height, liner material, and whether we’re working with historic masonry or a standard prefab unit. Old Town Norcross rebuilds sometimes run higher due to brick matching and careful mortar selection, but that’s offset by the straightforward access of many suburban lots. We’ll give you an exact number after inspection, and our Free Second Opinion guarantee means you can compare our estimate against any other written quote with no obligation.
Every liner installation and rebuild we complete in Norcross is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing. If anything about the installation isn’t right, we come back and make it right. Manufacturer warranties on DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney products extend well beyond that period, and we register your installation so you’re covered for the full term. We’ve been in business since 1984, and we plan to be here when you need us in thirty years.
