Two decades on Will County rooftops
Jason Lecter has been climbing ladders and cleaning flues since before most of the newer companies in the area existed. Over more than twenty years he has swept, inspected, and repaired thousands of chimneys across Crest Hill, Joliet, Lockport, Romeoville, and the surrounding towns — everything from century-old brick chimneys on Joliet’s older streets to modern factory-built systems in newer subdivisions. That experience is the difference between someone who runs a brush up a flue and someone who can look at a smoke stain, a mortar joint, or a draft problem and tell you exactly what is going on.
He started Grand Chimney Sweepers on a simple idea: homeowners deserve a chimney company that shows up when it says it will, explains what it finds in plain language, and only recommends the work that genuinely needs doing. No scare tactics, no upselling, no strangers dispatched from a faceless call center.
What “owner-operated” really means for you
When you hire Grand Chimney Sweepers, the person responsible for the quality of the work is the same person who owns the company name on the invoice. Jason runs the crew personally, which means the standards do not slip between the sales call and the actual visit. If something is not right, there is one accountable person to make it right — and his reputation in Crest Hill depends on doing exactly that.
It also means honest advice. Because Jason is not chasing a corporate quota, he can tell you when your chimney is in good shape and does not need a repair, just as readily as he can tell you when it does. That kind of straight talk is how the business has grown, one satisfied neighbor at a time.
How we work
- We protect your home. Drop cloths, sealed fireplace openings, and HEPA vacuums are standard on every visit.
- We document everything. You get photos of your flue, crown, and cap, not just a verbal summary.
- We price up front. You know the starting cost before we begin and the final cost before any work starts.
- We stand behind the work. If you have a question after we leave, you call the owner, not a hotline.
