This page is for Marietta homeowners who have Famco-branded chimney parts, fireplace components, or full Famco systems and want a repair team that actually knows the brand. We’re an independent Famco service provider, not an authorized dealer, which means we tell you the truth about parts, warranties, and what’s worth fixing. Cory Mitchell and our crew work on Famco equipment across Marietta every month, from East Cobb to the neighborhoods off Powder Springs Road.

How Famco Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Famco builds solid chimney components, but every brand has patterns. Here’s what we actually see on Marietta roofs and in Marietta fireboxes:

• Famco galvanized steel chimney caps corroding at the seams. Marietta’s humidity plus summer thunderstorms means galvanized caps take a beating. We see Famco caps where the welded corners rust through in five to seven years, letting rain straight down the flue. The fix is usually a stainless replacement cap sized to the existing Famco flue tile, not a patch job.
• Famco multi-flue caps with bird ingress. The Famco multi-flue designs do a good job, but the mesh screening on older units degrades. We’ve pulled nests out of Famco-capped chimneys in the historic districts around Marietta Square more times than we can count. The repair involves replacing the screen mesh with proper stainless, not just clearing the nest.
• Famco anchor plate failures on masonry chimneys. When a Famco anchor plate is installed on a deteriorating mortar bed, it starts to lift. You’ll see rust stains streaking down the brick below the plate. That’s the tell. We repoint the top courses, reset the plate on a proper sealant bed, and torque everything to spec.
• Famco fireplace dampers seizing from creosote and moisture. The Famco damper assemblies we see in Marietta fireplaces are prone to rust-locking at the pivot points, especially in homes where the fireplace gets used weekly through the winter and never gets swept. The damper plate warps, the handle torque-strips, and then nobody can open or close it properly. We replace the damper assembly and show you the old one before it goes in the truck.
• Famco chase covers on prefab units pooling water. Famco chase covers without adequate slope or cross-break will hold water after heavy Georgia rain. That standing water eventually finds a seam and leaks into the chase, which rots framing and soaks insulation. We fabricate replacement covers with proper drainage slope, and we seal with a polyurethane sealant rated for exterior metal.

Our Famco Chimney Repair Process

Here’s what a Famco repair with us looks like from start to finish:

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. No voicemail, no callback queue. We ask what you’re seeing, gather the basics, and book a window that works.
2. 2
   We arrive and diagnose with photos. Cory or one of our background-checked techs shows up in the tracked window. We inspect the Famco component, take photos, and send them to your phone before we quote anything. You’ll see exactly what we see.
3. 3
   You get a written price. Not a verbal ballpark. A line-item quote on paper, sent digitally, before any tool comes out of the truck. If the job changes mid-repair, we stop and re-agree before proceeding.
4. 4
   We decide parts together: OEM Famco or quality aftermarket. If your Famco part is still under manufacturer warranty and OEM replacement makes sense, we’ll tell you how to pursue it. If aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, or Copperfield delivers equal or better durability at a better price, we’ll say that too. We never put a cheap part on your chimney and pretend it’s an upgrade.
5. 5
   We repair, test, and clean up. The repair gets done right, then we test it, whether that’s a water test on flashing, a draft check on the flue, or cycling the damper open and closed.
6. 6
   You get the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Every repair carries a written guarantee. If it fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge. That’s not an upsell. It’s how every job closes.

What Famco Chimney Repair Costs in Marietta

Straight numbers, because pricing should never be a mystery. In Marietta, most Famco chimney repairs fall into these ranges:

• Chimney cap replacement (single flue): $180 to $340, depending on flue size and material.
• Multi-flue cap replacement with mesh re-screening: $350 to $650.

What moves the price: roof access difficulty, height, whether we need a lift or can work from the roof, and how much existing damage has spread.
