Question: What inspired you to start this business or get into this industry? How did the idea for your business come about?
Answer: I like the green of the world and am really concerned about global warming. The reason I started a chimney sweep and service business is that I wanted to save the environment from all the soot that gets spewed out from improperly maintained fireplaces and chimneys and let the world live its natural cycle.
I used to work in the fire department and saw that lots of fire hazards were coming from the fireplace and chimney. I want to make sure all families be safe and sound with their chimney use.
