About
Founded by Tim J. Robinson (aka T.J.) in 1979, our family owned and operated business has repaired, replaced and restored chimneys for thousands of families in Indianapolis, Shelbyville, Greenfield, Carmel, and surrounding areas.
Our goal is for every homeowner to view their fireplace as a space where families can gather, make memories and enjoy their time together.
We believe that homeowners shouldn’t have to worry about the damage and dangers that could occur because of chimney leaks, obstructions or structural breakdowns. We inspect and repair those hard-to-see areas, alleviating the homeowners’ stress and concern.
Tim “TJ” Robinson Founder & Owner
Our Story
T.J.’s venture into entrepreneurship started as a weekend side-hustle to supplement his factory job.
Armed with a powerful soot sweeper, brushes, and a study manual, he learned everything he could about chimneys, chimney sweeps, masonry, and fireplaces. In 1986, he visited an Indian Reservation in South Dakota to learn the basics of chimney repairs. That same year, he joined the National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG) and earned his certification.
Upon realizing that most bricklayers were not interested in small chimney jobs, T.J. discovered a niche market in residential chimney repair. He expanded his expertise to include dryer vent inspection and cleaning, setting the foundation for a business built on quality service and customer satisfaction. A quick study with determination and a strong work ethic, it didn’t take long for T.J. to establish a loyal client base that valued his workmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence.
In 1990, he hired his first full-time employee and founded the Indiana Chimney Sweep Guild, connecting with others who shared his passion for the industry’s high standards.
As demand for expert chimney services grew, T.J.’s Chimney Service expanded in 2004 to include fireplace rebuilds, gas and wood fireplace inserts, cast iron stoves and inserts, and outdoor fireplaces.
Our beautiful showroom is located at 1432 E. Main Street, Greenfield, IN, and is open by appointment.
In addition to the NCSG, we are members of the Chimney Safety Institute of America, Business Networking International, the Greenfield Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Better Business Bureau.

Brandon and Jordan did an excellent and professional job of removing our old fireplace and installing the new fireplace. This included masonry and carpentry work. Brandon was very precise with his installation of the cultured stone around the fireplace as well as reinstalling the mantel and trim. We highly recommend them.
