I called Gorman to help me get my fireplace in working order. I had an inspection done 3 years ago when I bought the house and I knew it needed a spark cap at the top, and I knew there was some cracking at the top. It had not been in use and is still not in use. The lady on the phone assured me not to worry they'd take care of everything. They came on 11/18 spent 5 minutes sweeping it and proceeded to charge us $265. They told my husband there are cracks and he could fix it himself with mortar caulking if he wanted to. They said they ordered a spark cap for it but I have called and left messages on 3 separate occasions trying to figure out if the spark cap has arrived yet. Once the lady wrote down my information and assured me they would reach out (they did not) the other times I was met with a voicemail where I left a detailed messaged and received no response. So what you're telling me is they charged us $265 for 5 minutes of work that even they agreed did not require a sweep since it hadn't been used? IF they ever get back to me about the spark cap how much is that going to be? Will there be an install fee too? I'd love to know the answer to these questions but it's impossible to get ahold of them, clearly. All we wanted was a working fireplace before Christmas. I guess that's not going to happen. I cancelled my appointment with McDonald Chimney Service because my realtor assured me Gorman was a reputable company. My experience proved otherwise. read more

I have been cleaning my chimney for many many years. They always show up when they say they're coming and they don't put you on the back burner if they have a more expensive job to do. They keep their customers in first place at all times! Mrs. Bucheli read more

Greg does a super job! He swept my old chimney and left my place sparkling clean. Very reasonable price.

We've been with Gorman's for nearly 20 years. We tried a number of other chimney sweep and stove companies prior, and had numerous problems. The team at Gorman's is reliable, arrives on time, does an excellent job, cleans up after themselves, and then provides an inspection report. They also replaced our old stove insert so that we had an EPA compliant stove. They discussed options in context of our budget, removed and properly disposed of the old stove, installed the new one and we have happily heated our stove since. I absolutely recommend them for both chimney cleaning and stove installation. read more

Had an insert installed in 2014. They come twice a year to shut down and then start up in the Fall. Great service, clean and careful in your home. I might be starting to have some problems with my insert and will have they review and replace with a newer model if needed. I found them at the Lodi home show one year and glad I did. read more

I've had the Gorman's service my stove for many years. They are a family business and very reliable. My stove was over 25 years old and started having issues, decided to replace it. Mike was super helpful and was able to install a new stove very quickly. I would highly recommend the Gorman's! read more

This is the best place to buy a stove, fireplace or have your chimney swept. The customer service is far above the competition.

Year after year we hire this family-owned business to provide chimney cleaning services to clean our fireplace. Our annual reminder starts with a call from Trudy, the matriarch of this family. She is by far the happiest and friendliest woman I've spoken with. As a matter of fact, we look forward to her call every year. They work quickly and efficiently to get the job done. After the cleaning, they give us an assessment of how well we burned wood the previous year. Several years ago we purchased our wood burning stove from them as well and have never regretted it. It is without hesitation that we recommend Gorman's Valley Chimney Sweep for any of your fireplace needs. read more
