If the top of your fireplace is connected to a metal pipe then your chimney is going to be a prefab chimney. A prefab chimney does not need a flue liner and only connects to one appliance. This is why modern homes often have multiple steel pipes visible on their roofs. The National Fire Protection Association says, Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances.
Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary. Most homeowners never think about masonry chimney maintenance beyond the occasional flue cleaning. But ignoring your chimney can cost you big-time. Born in the fall of 1977, Chimney Mischief has been able to grow and prosper for all of these years as the Atlanta chimney cleaning experts.

Services
Created in the fall of 1977, Chimney Mischief has been able to grow and prosper for all of these years as the Atlanta chimney cleaning experts. The Atlanta chimney sweep service we provide is next to none. Treat each homeowner or potential customer and their home or establishment as unique, and as if it is your own.
Chimney caps serve many functions. The most important is to prevent animal entry into the fireplace and possibly the home. These animals build nests and some will leave their feces behind to create a health hazard. The older your home, the more likely it is that there is also an exhaust vent in the chimney that is separate from the fireplace vent (also called the flue).
At Chimney Mischief we do a lot of fireplace repair. Although we serve all of metro Atlanta on a daily basis, we are located intown and a large number of the calls and referrals we get are from intown homeowners with older homes. It is only natural that they have fireplaces that may need some repair.
Chimney Mischief has always been committed to the highest quality masonry work since rebuilding our first chimney in historic Grant Park in 1983. The owner of Chimney Mischief commemorated 20 years of chimney building and rebuilding in 2003 by building a brick wall at his home in Lake Claire/Candler Park consisting of over 4000 brick all reclaimed from old Atlanta chimneys.

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL- I wish I could put up five more stars to make it a total of 10. The owner Jeannette is a perfectionist with deep caring about customers and she will go the last mile to make customers comfortable and happy with her company's services. I just saw her when she came out and started up my fireplace for the season. She always returns my calls and I trust her to come into my home. She has such integrity and professionalism- and terrific knowledge about all aspects of her business- this is what I have seen and experienced for the last year. What a wonderful owner Jeannette

After a recommendation from a realtor friend of ours my partner scheduled an appointment with this company. All went well during the inspection so we scheduled for them to return and do all the work they recommended. Unfortunately for us they have no idea what they are doing, from Jeanette to her technicians (specifically Allen). They installed vented gas logs knowing our chimney was not capable of venting properly. As a result we smelled fumes both upstairs and downstairs of our home which resulted in us getting sick. We contacted them several times and received no response. We then proceeded

We paid $250 for a chimney cleaning when we moved into our new house. They vacuumed out the soot from the bottom of our chimney but our surrounding wall bricks are still black and uncleaned. The serviceman turned our fireplace on and off at the end to show us everything worked and after he left we tried to use the fireplace but are now unable to turn the key. I'm not sure if he turned it back too tight or broke something but naturally we are hesitant to fix this ourselves and risk a gas leak. I contacted the office to have them send someone back out and after some back and forth no one has

These guys are great. I had another company look at my fireplace (prefab in a condo from 1981) and they gave it a clean bill of health. I was calling Chimney Mischief to cancel my appointment with them and they offered to come for free to verify that assement. I could not refuse so they came out and initially said everything looked good. Then their tech decided to put his camera up the flue. He found four connections that were bad and showed them to us. While we are bummed about the find we are really glad they came out.

I called Chimney Mischief because I used their company when Jim was the owner. Jim worked on 2 of my fireplaces and did a terrific job. However he no longer owns the company, so don't rely on previous reviews.
I called about 10 days ago and spoke with Jeannette, who was employed by Jim. She set up an appointment for a week later for Anthony to come to my house. She texted me the day before the appointment to reschedule. That was fine and we rescheduled for the next day for the time period between 4-5PM. At 5:05PM, I called her and she said, "Oh, he didn't come?" She said she

In 2013 I had my coal burning fireplace converted to a gas burning one using one of the Chimney Mischief. I was incredibly satisfied in every way: speed of work, quality, appearance, cost and customer service. Jump forward six years, and I had a situation where I wasn't sure if there would need to be a huge repair to my flue, or just an inspection. CM came, provided a professional, thorough and affordable examination, and then a affordable solution. I can't recommend them enough, and they're the only company I'll ever use.

Anthony just completed work on our third fireplace. He exceeded our expectations. From the mechanics to safety to aesthetics to explaining available options and the finer points of what makes a good fire we could not have asked for more. Even the price was fair. I highly recommend Anthony and Chimney Mischief.

Really great experience with this company. Couldn't get anyone else to run a gas line into my existing fire place that's about 100 years old. They came out and did a wonderful job and I'm thrilled! Excellent customer service and communication- they clearly care about their work. Joey went above and beyond for me on the installation. I'll be using them in the future for anything chimney related.

I love the experience I had with Chimney Mischief! They came out promptly measured my firebox and ordered my gas spheres! They came in just a couple of days and they are now burning brightly in my fireplace! Joey was so pleasant to work with and he did a fantastic job at installing my new spheres! Wish all companies could be this efficient. They are the best.
thanks chimney mischief for my cool modern new look

Several years ago, we were told by another big-name chimney company that our chimney had a hole in the flue that would require a whole new flue to be installed, and that there was a hole between the smoke chambers on the upstairs fireplace and a downstairs fireplace that made it unsafe to use and would require the entire chimney to be lined. We were given a quote but at that time decided not to do the work. In November 2015, we decided to have the chimney cleaned again, the chimney problems fixed, and to have a cap made to stop the rain from running down the chimney. Mike came out promptly, told

Great company with great people. I know nothing about my chimney, and the representative that came out took the time to teach me a lot and provide great advice on how to take care of my chimney. He was honest about what I did and didn't need to do, and created a cap in less time than expected. Super easy to deal with - will use them again, and would highly recommend them!

These guys are a great company. Jim (the owner) was very helpful when making an appointment. Ben is the person who showed up for the appointment and he was very friendly and right on time, my wife spoke very highly of him. He was very honest with her about the condition of our chimney and super helpful. Would recommend them to anyone who likes to support local, honest businesses!
