Description of Work: I hope he's around for a long time, because I don't ever want to use anyone but him after my experience! I had been using Indian Summer, and now know what I've been missing, for the same price. |Greg was terribly sick and called ahead to say he wouldn't be able to come on our scheduled day, but came out anyway free of charge to briefly look it over to see if it was safe to use, as I had suspected a chimney fire. |He rescheduled and came promptly. He literally took twice as long to clean my woodstove as Indian Summer had been doing, because despite annual cleanings, there was buildup that had taken years to accumulate. Indian Summer had always complained about cleaning my old wood stove, and Greg explained it was because it is more complicated, but with the right tools and effort, isn't a problem. |I have never had it so clean, and without any smoke at all in my family room. My dogs used to want to leave the room after a time and I had to open the stove door frequently to stir things up and add to it to keep the fire going, making smoke in the room. Not anymore. I didn't even know the bottom of the stove was in blocks, it's never been so clean, but now all the detail is apparent! |Greg cleans up after himself, too. |

Description of Work: Inspected my chimney and let me know it was in good condition and did not need to be cleaned! I will definitely use them again as I thought he was very reasonable and fair. Very knowledgeable.

This service was great. The fellow fit me into his schedule, drove over in inclement weather, was polite, knowledgeable and well worth the fee. He explained what he did and how to operate my fireplace. I enjoyed my first fire last night. I highly recommend him. I could tell by our discussions that we really knew what he was doing. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Had my chimney cleaned in my new home. Apparently, it had not been done for many years.

Bought a used house with a fireplace, and I'm not familiar with them. Greg gave us a detailed report of the condition of the fireplace, including pictures and some recommendations for outside maintenance. (Including materials to use, where to buy them, and how to apply them. No selling pressure, he didn't offer to do the work, just explained what should be done to prevent future issues.) Cleaned and reseated the damper, and showed us how to use it properly. Greg took his time, and was patient with my questions. Said we can burn another 40 or so fires before a cleaning is necessary. Would gladly recommend.

It went really well. Greg is very detailed and told us our chimney did not need cleaned (which, to be honest, we were surprised because it has not had a cap on it for over 30 years . . . so I am hoping he is right!). It does have quite a few repairs that need to be done, and he detailed that out for us. The only (minor) complaint is that he didn't tell me it would cost $65. If I would have known beforehand, it wouldn't have mattered as he did a great job and was very thorough. I was just under the assumption it was a free service he performed. Again, didn't mind paying it but it would have been nice to have known that up front. Would certainly recommend him to others for his detailed notes and punctuality!
Description of Work: Greg came to do a cleaning inspection and overall inspection on our chimney.

It couldn't have gone better!
Description of Work: I called Lexington Chimney Sweep because the office was only a few blocks away from my home. I recently moved into a house I bought earlier this year and wanted an inspection for the fireplace and chimney. Greg Gortman, the owner, arrived in only an hour. He took a look at my fireplace and recommended no cleaning. He spent the next twenty to thirty minutes answering my questions in detail. He said that I had about 30 or 40 fires before I needed a cleaning. He gave me several tips about making my fire to preserve the heat for the room without smoke. When I asked how much I owed him, he said no charge. I wish I could find more service people like him. You can be assured that I will use him for all my fireplace and chimney needs. HIGHLy recommended!
