About Lou Curley’s Chimney Service
Lou Curley’s Chimney Service has been serving homeowners across Delaware County and the Main Line since 2009. Our team is CSIA and F.I.R.E. certified, and the company has two CSIA Master Chimney Sweeps on staff. We have built our reputation on doing chimney and fireplace work the right way, with the right credentials, and on telling homeowners the truth about what their chimney actually needs.
Our History as a Company
Lou Curley has been sweeping chimneys since 1996 and started Lou Curley’s Chimney Service in 2009. He was the first chimney sweep in Pennsylvania to earn the CSIA Master Chimney Sweep credential, and the company has built on that standard ever since. Today, the team includes two CSIA Master Chimney Sweeps, multiple CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps, and F.I.R.E. Service certified inspectors.
We take ongoing training seriously. Chimney codes and best practices change, the appliances we vent change, and the credentials we hold require continuing education to stay current. Our customers benefit from a team that actually keeps up.

Over 17 Years of Chimney and Fireplace Care
Our team handles the full range of chimney, fireplace, and venting work for homes across Delaware County and the Main Line:
- Chimney Sweeping and Chimney Inspections
- Chimney and Furnace/Boiler Flue Relining, including stainless steel and gas/oil applications
- Chimney Leak Repairs, including crown repair with CrownSaver, masonry repair and waterproofing, and chimney cap installation
- Smoke and Draft Troubleshooting for fireplaces that have never drawn right or have started to misbehave
- Ahren-Fire Fireplace Restoration for fireplaces with underlying design issues that a localized repair will not fix
- Damper Replacement, including top-mount dampers and damper/cap combinations
- Dryer Vent Cleaning
When firebox damage, smoke chamber problems, or recurring draft issues turn out to be part of a larger fireplace design problem, we will tell you up front and walk you through the Ahren-Fire restoration conversation. We would rather lose a repair sale than promise a fix that does not actually fix anything.

More than any of that, we have customers across Delaware County and the Main Line who have used us for years because we show up, we do the work right, and we tell the truth.
