SWEEPS LUCK & FAMILY TRADITION(Owners Testimonial)
I can remember when we got a contract with the Naval Academy to clean & inspect the chimneys there, a the secretary kiss me for good luck since than I have been intrigued by the the history of chimney sweep luck ,I read about Saint Florian the patron saint of chimney sweeps,how he performed many heroic feats including saving an entire town from a rampaging fire with one bucket of water.We have all seen the movie MARY POPPINS where Bert(Dick Van Dyke) talks about(chimney sweeps) luck rubbing off onto you. Perhaps the story started with an 18 century sweep that saved the life of a rider on a paniked horse,the rider turned out to be the king himself. The sweep had already disappeared into the crowd and from that day forward, the king declared all sweeps as lucky.
I personally identify with a self employed chimney sweep in Oslo,Germany in the late 1800s( picture riding bike & motorcycle) that started out with little or no resources and built a very successful business and was hired to attend many weddings for good Iuck.He reminds me of my great grandfather who also built a successful business as a mechanic in Bound Brook NJ(Stanley Van Ness white shirt & coveralls with arms crossed in picture) also around the late 1800s.
I(Jerome Milton) owner of Clean Sweep had similar humble beginnings(starting out renting a van and doing jobs on the weekend)and growing that into commercial trucks and vans.Though this industry I have been able to go ‘Pick myself up from my own bootstraps’ and’Do for self’ and in the process went from’ashy to classy’for that I am very grateful to the industry.


In 8 years time we have become one of the leaders in the field of chimney, dryer,air duct and gutter operations in the market place and we have done so by one main reason, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.
Here are some of the 1000"s of Clean Sweeps satisfied customers.
I called the other clean sweep(firefighters) to come out and do a Ro-Kleening and give me an estimate on a liner, I should have just called you guys first, you guys are the A-TEAM those guys must be the B-team. Pomraning,Annapolis.
I had Jerome install a liner in my chimney and rebuild it he is a well polished African-American gentleman that did very good work, I recommended him to my neighbors. Livermone, Severna Park.
I'am a senor citizen on a fixed income,clean sweep has been cleaning my stove in my kitchen and livingroom for about 5 years now, they charge me less now than what they did 5 years ago and they do an inspection to let me know what's going on with my chimney. Sensibaugh,Jessup.
I have been using them for 3 years now I use them because we had a chimney fire few years back and I know they will clean behind the damper in the smokeshelf area that other company have not done in the past. Giddings,Laurel.
They came out to do a cleaning and found out that we had cracks in our flue and needed to have it relined, we where upset because we where having a family Christmas party the next week, Chris and his crew worked from early in the morning to about 10:30 at night to install the liner and we where very grateful for the good job they did and gave them a nice tip for their hard work. Hurt, Ellicott City.
I call them all the time for chimney related issues and they always come in a reasonable time and do good work I found out about them because they do work for Mary Mount apartments in Laurel that is also owned by the company I work for. Roy Mundey(Maintance engineer) Clary's Crossing, Columbia.
I have been calling them for years to do inspections for real estate transactions they are very professional. Tim Hoggins-KELLER WILLIAMS,Towson.
