Careers
We look for dependable people who like hands-on work, communicate well with homeowners, and take pride in learning a specialized trade. Chimney work can involve roofs, masonry, tools, dust, weather, and careful attention to detail, so reliability and good judgment matter.
What We Look For
- Care about the work. We want people who take pride in doing chimney sweep properly, not just quickly.
- Straight talk with customers. You will be in someone's home or business explaining what you found. Plain language beats jargon.
- Reliability. Showing up when you said you would matters more here than any single line on a resume.
- Respect for the property. Protecting the space, cleaning up, and leaving it better than you found it.
- Safety, every time. Following safe practice is part of the job, not an extra.
Experience in chimney sweep or a related trade helps. If you have the attitude and not yet the trade experience, say so, because we do train.
