About Us

Safe-T-Sweep, Inc got its start in 1980. My father and mother were looking for an additional source of income. My father tells me that teachers were only making about $6,000 a year when he first started. He would do a couple of jobs after school and all day Saturday. My brother K.C. and I would distribute flyers in the neighborhoods where we were working. Back then we used to charge by the story, I think a one story house went for $30.00. Since that time we have purchased two other chimney sweep companies.  One sweep was going into the missionary field and the other was concerned about the potential for cancer from always working around creosote. My parents were one of the few husband and wife companies in the industry, and yes, my mom did clean chimneys. We wore the traditional Top Hat and Tails in the early days; in fact we still do wear our Top Hats to every appointment. Chimney Sweeps are considered Good Luck and some companies even make themselves available for weddings. I took over the business in 1999 after serving 4 years in the Marine Corps.  I always enjoyed the work and decided to make the full-time transition. We service both residential and commercial properties. Some of our clients include the Merion Golf Course and Merion Cricket Club. Please visit  Angie’s List to read our reviews, unfortunately these are only available to members.  We have received their Super Service Award since 2010 and were voted one of the Best Contractors in the area in their end of year magazine.   My eldest son, Tres Ramirez is now working with me full time so we are entering the next generation of chimney sweeps We also had another baby on September 12, 2017, Levi Benjamin that brings the crew up to a bakers dozen.  For those who knew my father Ken Barr, possibly through Upper Darby High School or Safe- T-Sweep, he passed away on October 30, 2017.  Thank you for all your support since 1980. We look forward to meeting you and your family for years to come. Awards Angie’s List 2010-2014 Super Service Award Winner Years in Business Safe-T-Sweep, Inc. has been in business for 39 years.
