Chimney Sweep LLC was founded in 2013 by owner Gary Yates in Saint Joseph, Missouri. What began as a small start-up steadily developed into the company it is today; and is continually adding a wide variety of chimney services to its clients. The standards of excellence are evidenced in part by the company’s involvement in the greater chimney industry. Gary began by earning a Certified Chimney Sweep & Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician designation from the Chimney Safety Institute of America, as well as a Woodburning Specialist certification from the National Fireplace Institute. Chimney Sweep LLC also holds active memberships with the National Chimney Sweep Guild & the Saint Joseph Chamber of Commerce; Chimney Sweep stands unrivaled. A fierce advocate of proper teaching and ongoing education, Chimney Sweep strives to stay current in industry schooling & instruction throughout the country each year. As we grow, our hopes are to build a strong organization of skilled & certified staff that are proud to service our communities & grow with us.
