Family-Owned. Professionally Trained. Genuinely Friendly.
We started The Chimney Sweeper to bring honest, code-compliant chimney care to Middle Tennessee homeowners — and a little bit of friendliness never hurts.
Built on Trust (and a Good Attitude)
The Chimney Sweeper was founded in 2010 by a Nashville family who saw too many homeowners getting rushed inspections, vague estimates, and grumpy crews from out-of-town companies. We set out to do it differently: professionally trained technicians, clear pricing, and a genuinely friendly experience from the first phone call.
Today we’re still locally owned and operated, serving thousands of homes across Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, and the surrounding communities every year — and yes, we really are this cheerful in person too.
