Chimney Cleaners
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.
