"Alonso’s team didn’t just sweep our chimney—they restored it. After years of neglect, our 1980s fireplace was drafty and smoky. They repointed the mortar, installed a new liner, and now our fires burn hotter with no odor. Worth every penny."
"I called three chimney sweeps before Alonso. The others wanted to upsell me on inspections I didn’t need. Alonso gave me honest advice, cleaned my chimney flawlessly, and spotted a cracked flue liner I’d never noticed. Saved me thousands."
"Our chimney cap was missing, and raccoons had nested inside. Alonso installed a custom stainless-steel cap and sealed the flue. No more critters, no more debris. The team was punctual, clean, and professional—exactly what you want in a service like this."
"Restoring our 1910 fireplace was a nightmare until Alonso. They rebuilt the throat damper, repaired the ornate mantel, and waterproofed the chimney. It looks like new. Their attention to detail is unmatched in Duluth."
"After a heavy rain, our chimney leaked water into the living room. Alonso diagnosed the issue—a cracked crown—and repaired it the same day. No mess, no delays. Their waterproofing treatment has kept our chimney dry through every Georgia storm since."
"I’ve used Alonso for years. They’re the only chimney sweep in Duluth who actually guarantees their work. Their Level 2 inspection caught a corroded liner before it became a hazard. Can’t recommend them enough."

Most Duluth chimneys weren’t built for Georgia’s humidity and sudden temperature swings. The mortar between bricks absorbs moisture, then freezes in winter, cracking the flue. Alonso H. Chimney Co uses high-temperature mortars and breathable sealants to prevent this silent destruction before it starts. We’ve seen chimneys in Duluth’s newer subdivisions fail within 10 years because of poor initial construction—our repairs last decades.
Creosote isn’t just a dirty mess—it’s a ticking time bomb. In Duluth’s older homes, decades of buildup can ignite even with a small spark. Alonso H. Chimney Co removes every trace of creosote, not just the visible layers. We use industrial vacuums and brushes to extract it from the tightest flues, ensuring your chimney stays fire-safe year-round. No shortcuts. No excuses.
A $99 chimney sweep might seem like a bargain, but in Duluth’s historic homes, it often means missed damage or incomplete cleaning. Alonso H. Chimney Co charges fair prices for meticulous work—no hidden fees, no upsells. Our clients in Duluth’s Hamilton Mill area save thousands by catching problems early with our Level 2 inspections. Don’t gamble with your home’s safety.
‘My chimney looks fine—no need for an inspection.’ Wrong. In Duluth’s humid climate, hidden cracks and water damage develop silently. Alonso H. Chimney Co’s 3-level inspections use cameras to spot issues before they become emergencies. We’ve found corroded liners in chimneys that looked pristine from the outside—saving homeowners from carbon monoxide leaks and costly repairs.

No. A premium chimney sweep in Duluth arrives unannounced, in an unmarked van, because our focus is on your home—not our branding. We don’t need gimmicks; we earn trust through meticulous work and guarantees you won’t find at franchises.
Absolutely. A Level 2 inspection uses specialized cameras to inspect beyond the flue, crucial after a Duluth chimney fire where hidden damage may lurk. Skipping it risks unseen hazards that could compromise your home’s safety and your insurance coverage.
Yes. Even light use in Duluth’s humid climate accelerates creosote buildup, a highly flammable byproduct that ignites at just 451°F. Duluth’s seasonal temperature swings also expand and contract masonry, worsening cracks—sweeping prevents both fire hazards and costly repairs.
No. A chimney cap in Johns Creek may appear fine from below but often hides rusted screens or missing mortar that let water seep in. Water is Duluth’s silent chimney killer—it rots flues, stains ceilings, and invites pests, turning a $200 cap into a $2,000 repair if ignored.
Most Duluth homeowners assume their chimney liner is fine if smoke exits, but unlined or cracked liners leak heat into walls, risking structural fires. Modern liners also improve efficiency; Duluth’s older homes often have outdated clay tiles that crumble under Georgia’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Not if they’re the only one available. Same-day sweeps in Duluth often cut corners—rushing inspections, skipping debris removal, or using subpar tools. A true craftsman schedules appointments with precision, ensuring every crevice is cleared and documented for your records.
Only if your chimney is fully dry and free of creosote. Pine burns hotter and faster than hardwood, increasing creosote buildup in Duluth’s damp climate. Always use seasoned hardwood and ensure your damper is fully open to control airflow and minimize residue.
Yes. Duluth’s humidity and lack of airflow trap moisture in your flue, breeding mold and mildew that cause musty smells. A professional cleaning and a chimney cap with a screen can eliminate odors by preventing water and debris from entering your system.
