So glad I decided on George to come clean my chimney. He is such a nice guy and an honest businessman. That's rare to find these days! He gave me honest advice in regards to a smoke issue I was having and didn't push any unnecessary services or products on me. Will definitely be sticking with George in the future for any chimney services I may need!! read more

Our neighbor was using George to install a chimney pipe. I just happen to ask him if he could take a look at ours as well. He was more than helpful. He came over and did an inspection of our fireplace since we just bought the house. He even did some minor fixes to our chimney cap as a customer service gesture. He is completely honest and tells it like it is. He is not out to take advantage of anyone. I will definitely be recommending him to anyone who needs a chimney service. read more

We used George to install chimney caps on our new home. When his guys came we also talked to them about installing a gas log set, not really realizing they could also do this type of work. George spent a lot of time emailing back and forth with us, helping us choose the best log set and setup for our needs. When it arrived George inspected it closely before installing it. From when we placed the order until he installed it, was only about 10 days in the winter season, so I would consider this really fast service. George and one of his guys came and installed and we couldn't be happier with the result. I didn't want a remote but George kindly advised that I could adjust the flame level this way and I'm glad I listened to him! Love a high flame when I want to warm up the room quickly, and a lower flame when I just want ambiance. I would recommend George to anyone looking for chimney services. He was honest, patient and very helpful. Always a relief to find someone like George! read more

George The Chimney Guy - Gas log set. Installed by George. - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

This review is long overdue - last summer PSE&G notified us it was time to change our gas meter, discovered a blockage in our chimney and advised it would have to have it taken care of before they could turn the gas back on. That day I found George The Chimney Guy on yelp, he came the next day, unblocked the chimney, left the area cleaner then when he arrived and charged us a very fair price (much lower than we anticipated), PSE&G restored our gas service. George was honest, fair and knowledgeable and discussed several options for lining the chimney. So when it came to to have a liner put in our chimney and some external chimney work we knew exactly where to go. This week Dan and Noel came, installed the liner, took some phenomenal diagnostic photos and again, left the place cleaner than when they arrived. The care and quality of work is outstanding. Becca in the office is efficient and attentive. They are a pleasure to do business with. read more

This guy is amazing. So refreshing to have an honest person show up to do work on your house. He is also genuinely a really nice guy. What he said he would charge is exactly what he charged. Crazy right! No upsell, no bait and switch, just straight up. He even offered me a discount for a first time costumer. Unbelievable. I know it's crazy to be singing the praises of a person who is honest and trustworthy, but that's the world we live in now. People like George stand out. I was quoted almost $4000 for the same job he did for a loy less. I can't wait to get him to come service the fireplaces in the new house we're buying. Great guy. Thanks again George. read more

I recently received a home inspection report from a buyer I was selling my house to and was requested to make some chimney repairs. The company that prepared the inspection for the buyer wrote up a quote I felt may have been high and for some unnecessary work. George came out punctual on time did a thorough inspection of my chimney wrote me up an estimate for half the price and less work and told me to tell that crook to take a hike. I would highly recommend George if you have chimney issues or need an inspection he's very honest friendly and has reasonable prices with quality work and material, he bailed me out by just being honest. read more

Met George for a chimney cleaning today. Very professional & thorough. Took the time to explain what he found, cleaned the fireplace out, and let me know of issues to keep an eye on. Will definitely use again! read more

Moving is never easy especially when one is buying a home from 1,500 miles away having only seen the home once. Not knowing the area or where to find people to address the needs of a 100 year old home, I turned to Yelp and Google. George provided the most economical and comprehensive quote while having the best reviews in the Tri-State area. He did a full estimate of the chimney while walking through the home with our realtor. His ability to guide me through the issues needing to be addressed were truly amazing. His communication was KEY and provided my wife and I multiple dates and times to appease our busy schedules. His team are all professional and his work is outstanding. read more

I live in Clifton and first called another company here on Yelp. The girl barely spoke English and I tried asking her questions and she couldn't answer them. I then called George randomly because of reviews on Yelp. He answered all my questions immediately. I knew I got the right person for the job. I have never met a more honest, kind and hard working person who does the job right. He even gave me a discount on the phone. I certainly picked the best person for chimney cleaning. Don't hesitate- George is amazing. read more

George the Chimney Guy is simply the best! We were in a bind to get all our inspections done in time. We called 7 different companies. Most of them either didn't return my call or weren't available for a few weeks. George not only answered the phone immediately but he made it a point to travel out of his way to the location of the home we wanted to purchase the very same day in order to help us meet our deadline. In addition, George's pricing was very reasonable compared to most of the other companies. George was professional, kind, generous with his time, courteous, and had a thorough report sent to us within several hours of viewing the chimney. He also called to discuss and explain the details. There's no better chimney expert and once we move into our new home we will hire him for our repairs. Thank you George! read more

We hired george the chimney guy for an inspection and cleaning on a house we just bought. I really wanted to get an inspection and cleaning by a professional as the house was filled with soot and smoke stains all over the walls. There were 2 workers who came. One worker did the cleaning and one did the inspection. They were timely, clean and honest. They gave us useful information and answered our questions. read more

Recently called George for a quote to inspect my chimney on a new house I just bought before I fired it up this winter. George confirmed it was in good shape and didn't try to say it needed work that was unnecessary like other chimney companies I've heard about. He was honest and showed up on time. I would highly recommend him. read more

George and his guys are truly a class act. We had George do some minor work at our home before we sold, and they were prompt and courteous. We had George's guys perform a Level 2 inspection on the home we wanted to purchase (3 fireplaces) and significant issues were found. George did a comprehensive estimate as to what would be required to remedy all problems. He was very responsive and patient with the whole process with our Seller, and upon a resolution with the Seller, scheduled the work for after our closing and completed the job. His guys came back when we had a couple areas that needed more work, and George was very good at explaining what should be done and answering our questions and concerns. Rebecca in his office is amazing - she helped keep the process simple when our Sellers were being difficult. We will be using them in the future for chimney cleaning and maintenance when needed! read more

Absolutely great service! We called because of a concern of a blockage that was causing carbon monoxide leakage. They came that very day. The two young men were very professional. They explained their findings in easy to understand comments. I heard of horror stories of chimney guys lying and saying there's a blockage and charging hundreds to get things fixed unnecessarily. These men did not find anything major and explained that I really didn't need to fix anything. They could have easily told me there was a blockage and charged me for it. The men were honest and reliable. I Would definitely recommend them! read more

George The Chimney Guy is fantastic. It was easy to make an appointment with the office and he was on-time! I've had bad experiences with other places, where they tried scare tactics to try to get me to buy costly chimney repairs. George was honest and assured me that my chimney was fine, it just needed a yearly cleaning. The cleaning service he provided was quick and he was very friendly. I highly recommend him; I will definitely hire him every year. read more

Best service and honest person out there. He tried few things to help us stop the leak in our chimney and he was very honest and affordable. Def recommend to use for any chimney issue. read more

As others have noted, George is a truly stand-up, honest business man. He gave us an excellent price on our heating flue liner replacement as well as some exterior chimney masonry work.

George was EXCELLENT. His prices were fair, and he was kind, responsible, and very professional. He showed up on time, and knew exactly what to do to restore my chimney to be in great shape. I will absolutely hire George again, and recommend him to anyone who will listen! Thanks, George! read more

PSE&G was here yesterday and thought there may be a problem with the chimney. I called George in the morning and he was here by the afternoon. He inspected the chimney and it turns out there is nothing wrong with it. He did not try to sell me something I did not need AND he did not even charge me for coming to look at it. I highly recommend him and will call him in the future when needed. read more

5 stars no question about it. Such an amazing experience. Honest, helpful, fairly priced, always good at getting back to you in a timely manner with questions or concerns. George is a standup guy and I would recommend him over anyone else in the area in a heartbeat. read more

I have been in the chimney industry for 40 years and have seen every trick in the game, if you will. A dear friend of mine had to deal with the sale of her parent's home in Leonia, while being located in Ca. A chimney inspection was done by the buyer and though the findings were not incorrect, it was obvious to me that the only repair option provided was the worst case scenario at great expense. I did some research and found George's website, had a lengthy discussion with him during his off time and concluded George was our man, based on his technical expertise along with his obvious sense of doing right by people. He not only presented a far less expensive proposal, but it was actually in the buyer's interests as it they ended up with more in the final product than the other company was providing. It was a difficult and slow escrow and George was there throughout, doing what he promised and more. Really can't say enough good things about George and his company, but as one professional to another, my hat is off to you and I thank you for helping my friend above and beyond the call! read more

Honesty & quality work appear to be a lost art lately however George Hamway has both! What an incredible experience we had working with him. Like a breath of fresh air so to speak. Originally, we called to get an estimate for a chimney cleaning. He came over, analyzed the situation & gave a very fair price. About $100 less than the other estimate. But we loved his sincerity & kindness so when we had a bigger issue after with our furnace we called George The Chimney Guy again. We kept loosing heat & the pilot light kept going out. PSEG came by several times. You see, we were told we needed to replace it and that it would cost thousands! George took time out of his busy schedule to come over and analyze the problem. He looked at it and discovered the problem was the pipe was ground level & was getting saturated by the ground (we live on a hill & get running water in the ground). He sealed the hole and raised the pipe just about ground level and solved the problem!! He and his assistant did this all in 1 morning so I didn't have to take a full day of work. They cleaned up quickly & efficiently and the cost was a FRACTION of what the others charged. George is truly one of a kind. Not only did he find a unique solution but he saved us thousands (of dollars & headaches). He is kind, Very honest and does amazing work!! You do not find that anymore and we are blessed to know that we have him to turn to. Thank you George for all that you do!!! read more
