Our vent-free gas logs kept shutting down. My husband tried all of the troubleshooting advice on the internet, but it still wasn't reliable. Ami scheduled us quickly and Lance came out and fixed our original logs and we had a roaring fire just in time for #Snow2020. Very knowledgeable and professional and got us working again for a very reasonable price.

Lance & Jesse at Atlanta Fireplace Specialists remodeled our builder-grade fireplace. It completely changed the entire living room to where the fireplace is now the focal point of the room. No detail was left out. Both Lance and Jesse are true pros at what they do and have great vision for the end result. We are extremely happy in how it all turned out. They were reasonably priced and a pleasure to work with. I can't say enough good things about these guys. Don't hire a fireplace COMPANY, hire these guys at Atlanta Fireplace who do everything from start to finish and take great pride in the work they do. ***Update: 6 months after fireplace remodel I had a small aesthetic issue with the new fireplace. Atlanta Fireplace Specialists was very responsive and came out to take care of it right away. They did not even charge me! What a great company!

Lance and his team were amazing. He was able to educate my wife and I on the various options for a new stacked stone fireplace. His team was professional, respectful of our time and our home. We could not be happier with the results and will absolutely use AFS in the future.

We had a pipe burst in the ceiling and water came down inside our gas log fireplace. Another fireplace company said the entire fireplace had to be replaced at a cost of around $6500, and my tile surround would be ruined. I called AFS because of their great reviews and was not disappointed. Jesse checked the fireplace and said as far as he could tell it just needed a new remote module. Jesse and Lance came out to install the new remote module and check the blower (which is not possible without a working remote, even though the first company said the blower was damaged). The blower was fine and my fireplace works like new for about $500 and my tile not wrecked. This business is A+.

AFS sealed the fireplace in two places where outside air was getting in. They also seated the fireplace glass so that it had a proper seal. The results are a warm room and a pilot light that stays lit. We're finally happy with the room after living in our house for two and a half years. Couldn't be happier with the service.
Description of Work: Our fireplace in our library would easily lose its pilot light and it was difficult to restart. The room could be up to 20 degrees colder than the rest of the house because of a draft emanating from the fireplace.

Not very professional company. They came to measure the shroud first time and find out they don't have long enough ladder. They came back a week later with still not long enough ladder, blaming roof is in really bad condition. Third measurement scheduled! After 2 weeks I sent email asking if they done 3rd measurement already. Not yet, weather permitting was the answer. 2 weeks later I sent another email asking if they done 3rd measurement already. Answer : Technician is currently injured, so he can't address this until he's back up and running. I decide to hire another company.

Response from Atlanta Fireplace Specialists
[Member Name Removed], Thanks for yet another review on your project. Let me respond yet again. We came out to your home on 1/24 to measure the chimney. My technician did not feel safe getting on your roof because the shingles are very old and coming apart. I came out on my day off on the 30th to get the chimney measured. I have been getting on roofs for twenty years and have not been on many that are worse than yours. I made it about 80% of the way to your chimney when I realized that if I went any further my life most likely would be in danger. I then tried to get to the top of the chimney from the ground. However, the way that your yard is designed it prevented me from setting the ladder up safely. I emailed you that day and told you about the condition of the roof and the condition of the back yard design preventing me from safely setting up a ladder. You replied to me that you were well aware of these two items. I told you that I have a forty foot ladder that we could attempt a third try from the side yard, but that I didn't think it was going to work either. I recommended that you get your roof replaced so that we can safely put the decorative shroud on the chimney safely. You told me to just try and measure it. The day that I had that scheduled it rained, which makes the job more dangerous. Then the following Saturday I was scheduled to come out, but I injured my wrist on a job that Thursday and could not physically carry the ladder. My office manager made you aware of this, which is all we can professionally do (keep you informed). Then instead of you giving me time to heal or simply calling someone else, you decided to go on the war path and post bad reviews everywhere that you can. What kind of person does that. I apologize that I value my life and the lives of my team more than I value money. I would hope anyone reading this would understand that if the job is too dangerous, then it is simply too dangerous.

The technician did not include my Angie's List coupon. Service should have been $217. Charged $229. Didn't realize it until after the fact He could not fix my remote control to the fireplace. On works but off did not. Said he would send me an email with the remote systems that the company sells with the prices and never it was never sent. Ordered a new one of the same system that I had and it still does not work.

The technician inspected the chimney and told us the fireplace had probably only been used a few times and it didn't need to be cleaned. He was extremely knowledgeable and polite and did not charge us for the visit. Eventually we're going to convert the fireplace to gas and we won't bother calling anyone else -- they have our business.

AFS/ Lance Blackford responded via email, and for the next two weeks send sporadic responses to my request for services. On a Thursday morning I finally convinced him (no mean feat) to come to my house on Oct 7 to inspect my FP and give a complete estimate for the job. On Oct 7 during the appointment windowI hear nothing from him. I called him, no answer, no response. Left him voice mail. Four hours later I get a response "Uh Sorry, I put you down in calendar for wrong Friday (making no mention of me calling him) and then asks if I want him to come back a week later. So no, I think these guys are jokers and I would't let Lance in my house if he was the last fireman in Atlanta and my kitchen was burning to the ground.

They were very knowledgeable regarding fireplaces and chimneys. I learned that the cost to have the fireplaces redone to burn wood vs. gas was more than I was willing to pay. They could have oversold me, but they did not. I appreciate their professionalism and their expertise. If I ever did decide to put in new gas firebox, these are the guys I would call.
