Century Chimney Sweep Inc. was founded by Gary Spolar in 1988. He was a computer science major at Cleveland State University working his way through College as a chimney sweep and as a mason. He soon realized that there was a great need for this service, and took the business full time shortly after becoming a sweep. He has been working full time as a chimney professional for over 23 years, and has taken many classes to educate himself on chimney and fireplace cleaning and chimney/fireplace repair related subjects. Century Chimney Sweep Inc. is a member of the National Chimney Sweeps Guild. In a service related industry such as this one, a homeowner has to be weary of companies that claim to have many years of experience. There is a high turnover rate in this line of work, and with other companies, you may end up having a sweep show up at your door that has only 1 week of training, even though they advertise years of experience for the company. With Century Chimney, you will be assured the best service possible, because the owner is present on all jobs. Gary Spolar, the owner of Century Chimney, takes great pride in his chimney cleaning and chimney repair business. Please feel free to check their rating anywhere. Century Chimney Sweep looks forward to being your sweep for life!
