The Chimney Guys

The Chimney Guys is a full-service chimney and fireplace company. We are dedicated to the highest level of chimney care by investing in continuing classroom education, hands-on industry training, and safety. We help with everything ranging from the importance of an annual inspection and chimney sweep to a brand-new fireplace or rebuild.

What first inspired you to get into your line of work? And what motivates you to do the work you do today?

Chimneys aren’t really something you seek out to be a part of, but they seek you. I was 15 years old when I worked my first job cold call telemarketing for a chimney company that my dad worked at.

In 2004 my father started The Chimney Guys as a single truck operator. In 2018 when he unexpectedly passed away, the company closed. About 1.5 years later as a single mother of 4, I lost my home, my children had to live with their father, and I filed for bankruptcy. I had nothing.

It was at this time I took my dad’s old paper copy customer service records. I started calling people like I learned to do when I was 15. I started going out to chimney appointments in a car I hadn’t been able to make a payment on for over a year and a 40’ fiberglass ladder. Within 2 months my life and new business were flourishing. It is now my responsibility to provide this opportunity for an amazing career to others who will be able to make an impact on their families.

How did you come to faith in Christ?

As a child, my father took me to church so I had a foundation. As a teen and adult, I kind of lost sight of Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. When God brought me my husband, he reintroduced Christ into my life and I’ve been growing in my personal relationship with him ever since. 

How does your faith impact the way you do business?

At The Chimney Guys, we do our best to lead every day by Matthew 5:16 to “let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” With the passing of my father, this scripture is held close to my heart to glorify both of my Fathers in heaven. We do this by providing the best service and really taking care of our clients. It’s amazing the types of divine appointments that are set up. We pray with so many of our clients and without us even saying anything, many times they pray over us in their home for exactly the thing God knows we need.

What ministry/cause do you champion and why?

We do a lot of in-home ministry with our clients and do our best to be a good example for our employees. We take part in prison ministry, children’s ministry, and community ministry. It is important for us to share the gospel with others who may be hurting or hopeless and need healing.
