Very responsive and thorough - he provided a detailed estimate on all the work needed to be done (we needed a complete rebuild from roofline). The team did a great job and are clearly very good at what they do. They were in and out in two days and their quote was beyond reasonable. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Joseph WendoverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with GMT Chimney Services. They were extremely responsive and able to come out quickly when I needed help after a bird got stuck in my chimney (thankfully it was fine!). They cleaned my gas fireplace, removed bird nesting and debris from the chimney pipe, and installed a new cover to prevent future issues. The team was professional, neat, and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Overall, they were easy to work with and did a thorough job. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing chimney or fireplace services.Posted on Google Natasha SetschinskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Joe came to do an initial inspection for my fireplace/chimney and was very informative! I appreciate the time taken to explain the current state of my fireplace and recommendations!Posted on Google Jennifer GarciaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After searching for a chimney sweep company that were available to diagnose and repair before the inclement weather arrived, was extremely difficult. But GMT were able to arrive that same night. GMT estimated and fixed my whole situation before the snow touched the ground. I had an emergency situation with a roof replacement I previously had with another company gone bad. CO leaking in and unable to stay in my home. GMT secured the work done the very next day. My family and I were able to come back home after one night out. They were professional and fast in freezing temperatures. Town inspection passed. Service you can count on. Definitely reliable and compassionate. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Destinie MarieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience overall.
