A Family Business, Still On The Rooftop.

Hello — my name is Steven Carter. I founded this company in 1985 and have been sweeping chimneys since 1983. I am a Master Sweep in the old English tradition, and I’ve swept well over 40,000 chimneys across San Diego County.

Our Philosophy

Your chimney is part of your house. We take it that seriously.

If the chimney goes, so goes the house. We take care of your chimney thus we take care of your home. We believe in honesty and ethics — and in a job well done.

Our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau is evidence of that. If there is something wrong or unsafe about your chimney, we can find it and fix it. We’re licensed chimney contractors (License # 976842) and fully certified sweeps through the National Fireplace Institute — part of the reason we have a customer base of over 30,000 from Chula Vista to Fallbrook and all the areas in between.

We’re members of the National Chimney Sweep Guild and follow the advice of the National Fire Protection Association and the Fire Department. They all advise safety-inspecting your chimney once a year, checking for deposits, building faults and deterioration. Part of that inspection includes aspects of your roof, which we’ll also check.

A Family Affair

We work shoulder-to-shoulder with the people we love.

Family is very important to me, and I have always taken pride in working shoulder to shoulder with those that I love. What makes ChimneySweeps IncPro so successful is the uncompromising loyalty and support that I receive from my family.

Three generations help run this company now — in the office, on the trucks and on the roofs. When you see our red decals in your neighborhood, there’s a good chance two of us are related.

We Treat You Like Family

And even when you aren’t, you are.

As for those who aren’t related — we still feel like they’re family, and we all work together to provide you with the best service possible. As for me, I’m usually out cleaning or repairing chimneys. But if you ever want to get a hold of me personally, don’t hesitate to call. If I’m not in the office, leave a message with whomever you speak with and I’ll call you back as soon as I can.

The best time to have your chimney inspected is spring, summer, and early fall. We are so busy in late fall and winter that it can be hard to get an appointment. After your first inspection you can schedule your next one for the following spring or summer. Please feel free to ask our sweeps any questions you might have — and remember, you can always call us if you need advice.

We look forward to a happy business relationship with you and your family.
