Steve Sobczak and Stephen Jr

As a military family, you can bet that we take pride in serving others, whether we are fighting for our country or fighting creosote in your fireplace. Our owner, Steve Sobczak, and his father are both Navy veterans, and Steve’s son, Stephen Jr., is a graduate of the US Marines. Along with this, Stephen Jr.’s other grandfather served in the Army – it clearly runs in the blood!

Both Steve and Stephen Jr. have put in countless hours providing chimney care for folks throughout Fairfield and its surrounding cities, but come January Stephen Jr. will ship out to his duty station. Because of this, the team at Total Chimney Care would like to talk some time to state just how proud we are to serve both this nation and our loyal service area.

Trained To Do The Job Right

As you’re likely aware, training for the military isn’t always an easy road. It takes dedication, a commitment to excellence, and a lot of hard work! Well, becoming the best in the chimney industry requires a lot of the same things. It’s no wonder our award-winning team has seen so much success – they put in the hours and sweat to earn it!

One reason our sweeps excel in this company is due to our CSIA certifications. The CSIA is a nonprofit that is dedicated to educating both sweeps and the public on the importance of fire safety and proper fireplace practices. Sweeps that aim to earn their certification must spend hours studying various tests, then pass an extensive exam testing their knowledge. Once the certification is earned, it must be renewed every few years to ensure sweeps are truly up-to-date on it all. In an industry that is constantly advancing and evolving, this is a must!

We are also members of the NCSG, which lends countless opportunities for advancement. By associating with various organizations in our field, we can stay aware of any seminars and training programs that are occurring, all of which help us to improve with every passing season. If you want a team that can provide you with the answers you are looking for, we’re it!

Tackling Even The Toughest Jobs

Another way owner and founder Steve Sobczak has used his military background is to prepare for the toughest chimney jobs around. If you have challenging rebuilds to tackle, a broken down liner, or maybe even stuck-on glazed creosote, we can take it on. There’s no job too big for our crew!

And if we can find solutions for even your most complicated messes, you can bet that we know how to do all kinds of basic maintenance, too. If you’re due for an inspection, sweeping, or just some simple upkeep, please reach out to our team today, and we can get an appointment on the books.
