| Our dedicated, and certified team is waiting to serve your chimney needs |
Hancock Chimney Service Company was created by Ken Hancock in 1980 when the price of gas and oil reached
a record high. Ken anticipated that the number of people burning wood for heat would increase, and knew those chimneys
would need maintenance for safe use. Ken and his wife, Deanna, started sweeping chimneys after
work and on weekends when they first started. They exhibited at home shows and county fairs, Ken in his top hat, answering
many questions and educating the public about wood heat safety. They joined the National Chimney Sweep Guild and attended
conventions and seminars to further their education in the wood heat industry. Soon business grew and they quit their day
jobs, hired assistants and started sweeping chimneys full time. Since those early days, Hancock Chimney
Service has added many services including masonry repair, flue caps, waterproofing, liner installation and woodstove sales
and installation. All of our technician/sweeps are Chimney Safety Institute of America Certified and National Fireplace
Institute Certified. You will still see Ken up on the roofs and chimneys and Deanna answering the phone and scheduling the
appointments, as we have kept our business small to ensure the quality, honesty and professionalism we have always prided
ourselves upon. |
