A Calgary Family Business

Built on Experience.

Carried Forward

With Care.

For more than 40 years, Crown Chimney Sweeps has served Calgary homeowners with knowledgeable chimney cleaning, WETT inspections, dryer vent cleaning and fireplace and chimney repairs.

As a local, family-owned company, we combine decades of hands-on experience with straightforward recommendations, careful workmanship and genuine respect for every home we enter.

Our Story

Royal Service,
Rooted in Family

Crown Chimney Sweeps began with a simple belief: chimney service should be performed carefully, explained clearly and supported by recommendations homeowners can understand.

What started as a family trade has grown into one of Calgary’s most established chimney-service companies. Throughout that growth, our priorities have remained the same. We believe in treating people honestly, respecting their homes and taking the time to complete each job thoroughly.

Today, a new generation is carrying Crown forward. The experience, values and work ethic established by the founders continue to guide every chimney cleaning, WETT inspection, repair and dryer vent service we perform.

Our customers are never treated like appointment numbers. We listen to what you have noticed, examine the system carefully and explain our observations in practical language. If additional work is recommended, we discuss it with you before proceeding.

That personal approach has helped Crown build lasting relationships with homeowners throughout Calgary and the surrounding communities.

From the Owner

A Personal Commitment
to Every Home

With more than 10 years of experience in the chimney-service industry, I am proud to carry forward the values and traditions established by my family.

I had the privilege of learning the trade from my father, whose decades of experience taught me that this work involves much more than brushes, ladders and tools. It requires patience, careful observation, ongoing education and the willingness to explain your findings honestly.

As a Certified Comprehensive WETT Inspector and professional chimney sweep, I approach every wood-burning system with close attention to detail. The purpose of a WETT inspection is to assess code compliance. During an inspection, I evaluate the accessible components of the appliance, chimney and venting system against applicable codes, standards and manufacturer requirements. I then document and explain the findings so the homeowner can understand the condition of the installation and any recommended next steps.

The same care applies to our chimney cleaning and repair services. We take the time to examine the system, protect the surrounding work area and communicate with you throughout the appointment. If something requires attention, we explain what we observed and why a particular service may be recommended.

My goal is to make every interaction with Crown professional, informative and straightforward. When you invite us into your home, you can expect conscientious service and the same level of care we would want for our own family.

From the Founders

Built by Family.
Guided by Values.

Crown Chimney Sweeps was built on decades of hands-on experience, honest guidance and careful workmanship.

From the beginning, our goal was to provide dependable chimney service while treating every customer and their home with dignity, respect and courtesy. We believed homeowners deserved knowledgeable answers, professional work and recommendations based on the actual condition of their chimney or wood-burning appliance.

Those principles shaped every part of the business. We worked hard to continually improve our knowledge, refine our cleaning methods and remain informed about the codes and standards affecting wood-burning installations.

Passing the company to the next generation has allowed those values to continue. Although tools, equipment and industry requirements have changed over the years, Crown’s commitment to professional workmanship and honest communication has remained constant.

We are proud of the reputation our family has built and grateful to the Calgary homeowners who have trusted Crown through more than four decades of service.

What You Can Expect From Crown

Experienced Guidance

Our technicians bring decades of combined chimney-service knowledge to every appointment. We explain what we observe, answer your questions and help you understand the available next steps.

Code-Focused Inspections

WETT inspections are performed to assess whether a wood-burning appliance and its venting system comply with applicable installation requirements. Our WETT-certified professionals carefully document their observations, and a digital copy of the completed inspection, along with supporting photos, will be emailed to you by the end of the inspection day. We do not provide a separate written report.

Respect for Your Home

We use appropriate coverings, vacuums, brushes and cleaning procedures to protect the area surrounding your fireplace or appliance. Once the work is complete, we clean the work area and remove the material collected during service.

Clear Recommendations

If we identify an issue requiring attention, we explain what was observed and discuss the available options. Additional work is never performed without your knowledge and approval.

Our Approach

Professional Standards.
Personal Service.

Chimneys, fireplaces and wood-burning appliances are specialized systems. Properly evaluating and servicing them requires more than a quick visual check or a standard household cleaning tool. Our technicians combine professional equipment with years of field experience. Depending on the requested service, that may include chimney brushes, flexible rods, vacuums, inspection mirrors, measuring tools, ladders and other specialized equipment. Professional service also means communicating clearly. Before beginning, we confirm the requested work and discuss any relevant concerns you have noticed. During the appointment, we examine the accessible portions of the system and document important observations. If another service or repair is recommended, we explain it and obtain your approval before proceeding. We believe homeowners should finish an appointment with a better understanding of their chimney, fireplace, wood-burning appliance or dryer vent—not more unanswered questions.

Proudly Serving Calgary & Area

From the inner city to the foothills and surrounding communities, we’re proud to help homeowners across Calgary keep their chimneys and venting systems in top condition.
