Very disappointed in the diversion and the increased price quotes of the company. This seems very unethical.

We had them rebuild the chimney from the roofline up, waterproof the brick and install a very cool critter-proof cap. Communication was excellent- it's nice when a company actually listens to your needs- the bid was fair and reflected some excellent ideas we would never have thought of. Eric showed up on time to do the job and worked efficiently, even when confronted by a raccoon in the chimney we didn't know was still there. We got all the explanations for every step of the repair, clean up was spotless and the price was quite affordable. We will be using Chimney Medic again and highly recommend them.

We were first time home buyers in November 2013. We followed our realtor's lead on inspection…read morecompanies. We had GLI do the inspection, and my first impression was quite positive. It felt like they were thorough. They let my husband follow them throughout so he could see the issues. They took lots of pictures, provided a thorough report, etc. The only major issue they noted was roof damage and radon. We had the radon fixed and then got a second opinion on the roof (second opinion said no need to replace yet...felt inspectors were being very cautious in concerns but roof still had many years in it). They reviewed our chimneys/fireboxes and noted a small issues but nothing major. So initially, I would recommend this company. Fast forward to a few months later when we are living in the house. It's winter, it's cold and drafty, we want to use our two fireplaces. We call a reputable chimney inspection company. They inform us that one of our chimneys is not built to code (the chimney flue is too close to wood, insulation, and roof flashing which presents fire risk). We also discovered that our second fireplace hearth was falling away from the wall resulting in a .5-1 inch gap between hearth and wall. Through this hole, we could see straight into the studs of our home...no wonder it was so freaking drafty. There was also considerable wood rot around the chimney. Obviously we were quite irritated that these issues were not caught by GLI. They are not issues that quickly popped up, but rather they are issues which have been apparent for years on the home. To me, home inspections should be pretty thorough on the chimney and firebox areas since they pose a huge risk for fire and home loss. From our experience, GLI seemed thorough in most areas, but not in the chimney/firebox issues. This was a costly oversight for us and has led to over $2K in repairs just so our fireplaces are safe/useable.
