Our Story

In 1985, in the heart of Denison, Texas, Polar Bear Chimney Sweep was born in a garage with a single visionary at its helm. Our founder, a skilled draftsman with years of experience at Texas Instruments and MEMC, started the company as a side job, driven by a passion for precision and a desire to keep homes warm and safe. With his cousin running a local fireplace store and referring work his way, he saw an opportunity to bring meticulous care to chimney services—a trade often overlooked but essential to countless families.

What began as a one-man operation grew steadily, fueled by an unwavering commitment to quality and an acute attention to detail honed through years of technical expertise. From cleaning and inspecting chimneys to repairing and installing fireplaces, Polar Bear Chimney Sweep became a trusted name in North Texas, known for going the extra mile to ensure every customer was completely satisfied, no matter the complexity of the job.

In 2019, our journey took an unexpected turn with the sudden passing of our founder. It was a challenging time, but his son, who had already taken the reins of the cleaning and inspection side of the business, stepped up to lead the company forward. Facing trials and tribulations with resilience, and supported by a dedicated team that shared the same commitment to excellence, he transformed Polar Bear Chimney Sweep into a thriving enterprise.

Starting small in a Denison garage, Polar Bear Chimney Sweep has evolved into a powerhouse, serving customers with unmatched dedication. In 2025, we took a bold leap into e-commerce, expanding our reach to deliver top-quality fireplace products to homes across the United States. This milestone marks our commitment to innovation while staying true to our roots—ensuring every chimney we service and every product we sell brings warmth and safety to our customers.
