Gilmartin Chimney & Vent

Gilmartin Chimney & Vent is the Rochester call for chimney inspections, sweeping, liners, masonry repairs, caps, and dryer-vent work. Its website says the family-owned company has served Southern New Hampshire and Maine for more than 30 years, with Brian and Carol handling the work and customer communication. Recent Google customers keep describing careful diagnosis before repair. In August 2026, one homeowner praised responsive communication and finished work; in December 2025, another described correcting an improper liner installation. A September 2025 homeowner said Brian inspected a 67-year-old chimney, explained options, and helped them choose a path forward. The jobs are substantial as well as routine: customers describe liner replacement, crown and cap work, masonry repairs, chimney rebuilding, pellet-stove inspections, and removal of two failing chimneys. Older reviews repeatedly mention photos, clean work areas, clear estimates, and explanations in plain language; those accounts are from 2022–2024 and should be read as track record rather than a promise about a current appointment. Before booking, ask which inspection level fits the appliance, what the proposed liner or masonry scope includes, and when the crew can schedule it. A homeowner needing inspection-led chimney repair, sweeping, liners, or related vent work has a clear fit; confirm the written scope and timing before authorizing work.
