How did your business get started? Things were a little rough when the economy took a turn. My husband is a commercial carpenter by trade and we began to look into new avenues. Chimney sweeping was dropped in our laps. We both had the same goal when we met. Start our own business! With hard work and devotion we are proud to say 'Goal Complete'!

Smokestack Sweep offers all chimney services from maintenance to restoration. We also offer gutter and dryer vent cleaning. Our services are offered to all of southeast Michigan as well as Ann Arbor area and Lansing. We want to keep homes safe and bring awareness on doing that.

What do you want your business to be best known for?
The awareness we offer on chimney fires and dryer vent fires. Smokestack would be honored to know you feel protected once we wave goodbye!

What's your most popular service?
Chimney sweeps of course. However we want Michigan to know we offer all chimney services along with gutter and dryer vents!

Why did you choose the location that you did
? We moved out to Howell for the hometown feeling and to raise our family. Livingston County is perfect for us. When we decided to open our business, there was no doubt in our mind this is 'Home'.

What's a fact about your business that most customers probably don't know? Chimney cleanings and dryer vent cleanings are sometimes over looked. We are spreading the word on the importance of maintaining them to keep your family safe. Smokestack Sweep will provide a very through inspections with hometown pride!
