Rest Haven fireplaces work a real season — cold snaps and damp winter weeks from November through March, then long humid months sitting idle. Our techs diagnose yours on the spot, fix it with real parts, and leave it lighting first try, every time.
Your information is kept private and used only for your fireplace service request.
From the first cold snap no-light call to a wood-to-gas conversion in the suburbs, these are the six fireplace services Rest Haven homeowners book with us.
Repair
Fireplace Repair
Any fireplace, any failure — diagnosed first, then fixed with the right parts. Smoke in the room, a damper that will not move, a blower gone loud — if it burns, vents or ignites, we repair it.

Soot, dust and that stale closed-up smell removed from the firebox, glass and burner — the full creosote removal a wood burner needs — glaze included — or the burner, glass and pilot service a gas unit needs.

Fireplace Inspection
Firebox, flue, venting and controls checked end to end, with a plain-language report. In Rest Haven it is also how storm debris, glazed creosote and rusted caps get caught while they are still small repairs.

Install & Replace
Fireplace Installation
A new gas fireplace or an outdoor fire feature, done right: sizing, venting, gas and electric runs, finishing — one crew, start to first fire. In Rest Haven that often means a gas insert conversion, or a new unit in a renovation or addition.

Heating season in Rest Haven is real but short, and the off-season is long, humid and stormy — a combination that glazes creosote, corrodes metal and idles gas parts into failure. This is what we check on every visit.
Part-time burning is the Southeast pattern: evening and weekend fires, often smoldering low. Cool, slow fires lay down hard glazed creosote that regular sweeping barely touches and a hot fire can ignite inside the flue. Cleaning here is fire prevention first — and the glaze needs the right tools and an honest look, not a quick pass.
Southeast summers drop limbs, leaves and whole nests into open flues, and driving rain follows them in. By the first cold snap the flue can be part-blocked without any sign from the room. A screened cap and a fall inspection are what stand between a clear flue and a smoky, dangerous first fire.
Even inland, Rest Haven air stays damp most of the year. Dampers rust in place, caps corrode, and a firebox that sits shut all summer grows that stale, closed-up smell. We check the metal parts and the damper on every visit, because humidity damage is quiet right up until water shows on the wall.
In the coastal stretches of Georgia, salt-carrying air eats chimney caps, dampers and vent terminations years faster than it does inland. A cap that looks tired from the ground may be rusted through at the seams. We inspect the top closely on coastal homes and replace metal before the flue starts taking rain.

The common causes are a cold flue at startup, a flue narrowed by creosote or storm debris, a cap clogged or rusted, or a newer home sealed so tightly the fireplace cannot draw air. A tech checks them in order, on the spot, and fixes the actual cause — not just the symptom you can see.
After roughly every cord of wood burned, and at least once a year if you burn regularly. Southeast burning is mostly evenings and weekends, and that part-time, low-and-slow pattern builds glazed creosote faster than steady hot fires do — so 'we only use it on weekends' is exactly the case that should not skip a year.
Yes — gas inserts and log sets are the most common conversion we do in Rest Haven. An insert is the efficient route: sealed, remote-lit, and it uses your existing chimney as the chase. A log set is the simpler route into an existing wood flue. Start with a free estimate and we will measure and walk through both.
Very likely the chimney, yes: a cracked crown, failed flashing, a rusted-through cap or porous brick lets water in, and it shows up as staining, peeling paint or a musty smell near the fireplace. Southeast rain is heavy and frequent, so small entry points do real damage. We trace the source from the top down.
Early fall, before the first cold snap. That is when the idle-summer failures all surface at once and every company in Gwinnett County books up. A service visit in September or October — cleaning, safety checks, a test fire — means the first cold night is a non-event instead of a repair call.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every fireplace fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
