Grady and his team were great, knowledgeable about all things chimney, showed up on time, price is totally fair, camera inspection of chimney top exterior. No upselling, just honest recommendations. Made me aware of some other issues I didn't know about my stove insert. read more

Grady is a very nice and honest man. Comes out whenever I need him to clean or inspect my fireplace. He always takes photos before and after to show the work. Leaves everything very clean before he leaves. I have used him several times. He is definitely 5 Stars. Thanks for coming on the fly this morning Grady. Dan read more

Grady was super punctual and very kind. He listened to our concerns and answered all of our questions and recommended some other people that could help with some other things we had going on unrelated to the chimney. Absolutely appreciate his honesty, reliability and friendliness. We will keep seeing him in the summer time :) read more

Good guy. Knows his stuff. Talks a bit too much and services are too expensive. $1000 for 3 hrs of work ??? I feel ripped off. read more

Grady is the real deal and knows his fireplaces inside and out. He got our old chimney sparkling clean and gave me a very-much-appreciated intro guide for how to properly (and safely) build a fire. Absolutely 1000% recommend! read more

Just had our Chimney Service from Grady. Fantastic!! Highly recommend him. He's super nice, professional, prompt and knowledgeable. He's helper Eric is awesome as well. Anyone who needs their Chimney swept I definitely recommend him. Called 3 others who didn't want to come to Martinez or clean our chimney because we have a pellet insert. One said he would but never heard back. Grady answered right away and showed up as promised. read more

Did a wonderful job - punctual, great attitude and very professional. Informative about care and feeding of a fireplace and chimney. Identified a couple of minor patching areas at top of chimney and then even left a small amount of compound for me to fix it myself to save me a few bucks. Highly recommended if you have a chimney and want to ensure it is safe and functional! read more

Grady was referred by a very good friend, so I knew he was going to be great. Grady and his assistant, Eric, arrived on time, explained what they were going to do, set up everything to protect the house interior, and went to work. I was kept informed along the way as I have 2 fireplaces. All went well with no issues, and Grady explained everything they did and showed me a video of the work done. If you want the best, call Grady! read more

They did a fantastic job for me. Inspection, cleaning and repair of my problems were all done professionally, timely, and at reasonable rates I highly recommend Grady's. read more

I first reached out to Grady regarding some work on my chimneys. Through no fault of Grady's however, I've had to cancel last minute. However I'm leaving a great review because I was impressed by how responsive and professional he was. Very punctual and understanding. I only spoke with him 3 or 4 times but he seems like a great guy. He will absolutely be my go to the next time I have chimney issues. read more

For the past 15 years Grady has maintained our chimney and has done meticulous, professional, detail oriented maintenance & repairs in all three homes we have lived. If you hire him you can rely on his expertise 100% and learn a lot too. FYI he is also a sage...so there you go. read more

Grady came out this week and did a great job. It was clean and quick. I didn't time it but I think the service took less than 2 hours. My chimney hadn't been cleaned in over 10 years. I felt the price was very reasonable to now have peace of mind. I told my mom afterwards and she said her close friends had a fire start in the walls from their fireplace. Grady also inspected the inside of my fireplace and showed me where the mortar between my fireplace and flu had come apart, and identified a crack and instructions on how to fix it. Aside from the service of my fireplace, he was a wonderful person to work with. I was sick the day of the appointment and let him know and he was so nice about rescheduling a few days later. He also was very pleasant to talk to and a veteran. read more

Grady provides great service and quality work. He's honest and keeps the work area clean and really conscious about not making a mess. Pricing was on par with others. Need to set an appt with him which could be up to two weeks out but worth the wait. read more

Reached out to another fireplace service near my house that didn't work on masonry fireplaces, so they recommended me to Grady. I called Grady, left a voicemail and he returned my call within the hour. We scheduled an appointment for a cleaning and inspection more than a week away. I hadn't heard from him until he showed up, on time, on the date we scheduled. Grady was very polite, super upbeat, and positive. He got straight to work, while engaging in small talk with my wife and I. As a grandfather, Grady was also super fun around my kids. After the cleaning and inspection he pointed out a few cracks and voids that needed to be filled with mortar and he told me how to do it and that it was a quick and easy fix. Gave us some tips on how to properly prime the chimney and light the wood. Very nice guy, very professional, would absolutely recommend him. read more

I definitely would recommend Grady!!! Professional, personable, and reliable!!! He takes pride in his work/company, and it shows!!

We ran into Grady by accident, but I'm Glad we did! Got an appointment the next day, due to a cancelation. Grady and his grandson Cory were not only on time but were a little early! He called first! Very professional, has obviously been working with fireplaces and chimneys for a long time, Knowledgeable and courteous, not just about fireplaces but types of wood also. I Will be calling him again! Thanks Grady! read more

Grady is very knowledgable, friendly and responsive. I recently had a concern about my fireplace that he serviced before I purchased my current home. He was willing to talk with me over the phone and even came out to review his prior report with me in person too at no additional charge. Thank you Grady! read more

Extremely kind man and quick to schedule me! He was very thorough in his inspection and even provided me with "chimney 101" :0) (report to follow). I now know so much about chimneys - didn't realize there are SO many do's & don't's! read more

Fantastic service. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful on how to properly take care of the fireplace and chimney. Was very quick and efficient. Did not leave a speck of dust. Some of the most polite folks I have had the pleasure of encountering. Great price for the service you receive. Was generous enough to squeeze me in before Thanksgiving and completed the job within an hour! And, family owned/operated so even more reason to use them! read more

Grady is an old school classic. Hard worker, honest and direct, and professional. He showed us how the soot built up so he could then show before/after. Amazing difference but I concede I'd let this chore slip several years.... He then went to the condo we own and did the same. He's the real deal. Thank you Grady. read more

Today my husband and I had the pleasure of Grady's chimney sweeping service for the second time. He is always so responsive, his service is prompt, thorough, and we know we can trust the quality of his work. He's very educational and communicative as well (what does the average Joe know about the technicalities of chimney care?) and he even arrived EARLY for our appointment- after communicating with us to make sure the time worked for us as well. Our chimney looks awesome, and we are looking forward to cleansing rains so we can enjoy the use of our chimney this winter, thanks to Grady's consistently excellent care. read more

Excellent service! Grady was very friendly and knowledgeable about chimney safety and proper firewood. We hired someone else last time, as we didn't see Grady's company and we had a mediocre experience. I would pick Grady any day of the week to clean my chimney. read more

Never owned a home with a real wood-burning fireplace till now. Since the weather's been getting chilly, we decided to make sure our fireplace is in tip top shape before burning some actual wood. Due to the holidays, no one was able to accommodate our service request...that is until we found Grady! Within 24 hours, he was fixing our stuck damper and had our chimney fully swept and ready for some fiery goodness. To top it all off, Grady is really a nice guy and truly excels at providing spectacular customer service. Definitely give him a ring if you have a fireplace that is in need of some TLC. read more

If I could give more stars I would. I called several places to price out cleaning my gas fire place. Not only did they have the best pricing around, but also the best customer service. Grady called and was able to move our appointment to earlier in the day. Since I work from home, it was easy for me to change the time. Grady was very professional, considerate regarding our cat/me working in the next room, clean, and very knowledgeable. I just can't say enough about how happy I am with the work he did. Grady even went above and beyond what he was hired to do. Our place is small, so our cat's litter box is normally close to the fire place. This means our cat kicks out some of his litter onto the tile near/in front of the fire place. I did not have a chance to clean it before Grady came in. When I went to move the litter box back, I realized that Grady cleaned it up for me. Thanks Grady for making my life a little easier today. Next time I will have a bottle of wine for you to take home. :-) Side note: Please be aware to pay with check or Venmo. read more

Grady came out and cleaned my wood fireplace. They did a great job and I highly recommend them. Will definitely use them in the future.

Grady is professional, courteous and friendly. Hire him to clean your chimney! He did a great job for me.

Grady arrived and immediately was wonderful. Very personable, knowledgeable, and professional. He put drop cloths all over our floor/furniture, arrived in mask and booties, and all possible equipment. Not only did he clean and repair (crack) our fireplace, but he also gave us a fireplace 101 tutorial. How to make a fire, what wood to use, where to get firewood, how soon to get cleaned, how to store extra wood, and even how to do repairs on our own. Totally exceeded my expectations. 100% will use him again and will recommend to my friends and family. read more

Grady is super kind, knowledgeable and professional. He did an excellent job on our fireplace and amazingly left the place super clean. He had so much patience and was so kind to my kids that were peppering him with questions as he was busy working. I would 100 percent recommend him, don't hesitate! read more

Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee, Grady's the best with a fantastic personality! Without a doubt, Grady is one of the most positive people I have ever meet: Such great energy and a willingness to provide the best customer experience. His work ethic, quality and execution are equally as impressive. He was on time, identified the issues, completed the tasks and left our place spotless. Do yourself a favor and hire him...even if you don't have a fireplace. Just hire him. read more

Grady went above and beyond. I was looking for someone to come last minute to my new house to have the chimney cleaned before lighting any fires.

6 stars. Grady arrived on time. I've hired several chimney sweeps and all have been satisfactory -- they all tape off the fireplace, sweep the chimney from the roof, and vacuum up the stuff that falls down. Grady did all these, but went beyond the basics (and didn't charge anything over his standard fee). Grady patched the mortar in the ash cleanout, filled a minor crack in the back of the firebox, chiseled away some mortar which was preventing the flue from closing fully [for 50 years! -- another chimney sweep wanted to charge me $300 to replace the flue!). Grady also adjusted my wood holder's feet which had sagged from hot fires. I asked Grady for advice in fixing a decorative brick which had come disconnected from a wall and he gave me some materials and even gloves -- I fixed it while he finished his work. Beyond this, Grady was very concerned about leaving my house clean (he used tons of drop-clothes and took off his shoes every time he came into the house). He put everything back where it was, and I'm sure the house was cleaner when he left. Grady is very friendly, energetic and sincerely enjoys his work. read more
