About us

T.J.’s Chimney Sweep was established in 1979 by Tim J. My goal was to provide a second income for my family, but I also wanted to get away from working in a factory. This was right at the time when the old oil embargo was well under way and the resurgence of wood stoves was taking place. I started working weekends sweeping chimneys. Back in those days all I had to learn from was a kit with a powerful soot sweeper, brushes and a study manual to help me along the way. I soon got laid off from the factory, so chimney sweeping, here I come! Trying to get my name out there was difficult because I had no experience in advertising or running a business. However, I got in with a stove dealer in New Palestine, and by 1984 I had my first employee. I soon found out that a lot of chimneys were in need of repair and most brick layers did not want to bother with a small repair job. So in 1986, I went to an Indian Reservation in South Dakota to learn the basics of chimney repairs. In the meantime, I also discovered that there was an organization of chimney sweeps called the National Chimney Sweep Guild that I joined. After taking a chimney sweep test, I also became certified. By 1990 I now had a full time employee and also helped found the Indiana Chimney Sweep Guild where I made some good friends and fellow sweeps who followed a good code of ethics. In 2004, I started selling wood stoves and inserts as well as gas inserts. We used to have a showroom at my property, along with my office, which was available to view by appointment only. In October of 2011 we moved our office and showroom to a bigger location at 866 South State St, Greenfield, Indiana. Here is it 2015, and I have my son, who is a journeyman brick layer and co-owner, along with 3 full-time technicians, and last but not least, Janell and Susie, who run the office and hearth shop. We just remodeled our showroom and expanded our warehouse. I never thought I would make it this far, but together, we make an awesome team and it will only get better from here! Stop in and check us out!!

The inspection was prompt and they clear about what it would take to fix up the chimney. The main reason I elected not to have the work done was because it's a temporary rental and I'm not going to put the money into it. They were very thorough on their comments as far as the safety issues involved and wanted to be sure that anyone else living there after us would be sure not to use it in present condition.
Description of Work: They did an inspection of an old fireplace and chimney to determine whether or not it was usable.

THE OWNER CAME WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD AND WAS WITH HIS SON AND ANOTHER WORKER. THEY DID THE NECESSARY REPAIRS INCLUDING INSTALLING A SCREEN ON TOP OF THE CHIMNEY TO PREVENT ANIMALS FROM ENTERING. I WAS VERY HAPPY AND PLEASED WITH THEIR WORK, IT IS GOOD TO SEE A FATHER AND SON TEAM. THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND DID IT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. HE DID NOT KNOW HE WAS ON THE ANGIE LIST AND GAVE ME AN ANGIES 10% DISCOUNT.
Description of Work: WE RECENTLY MOVED INTO A HOME IN WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD USED THE FIREPLACE FOR HOME HEATING. IT NEEDED SOME EXTERIOR REPAIRS AROUND THE CHIMNEY INCLUDING MASONRY AND FLASHING REPLACEMENT.
