About Us
Mr. Smokestack Chimney Service was founded in 2006 by Robbie Markey in the Broadway and Raleigh/Durham area after falling in love with “God’s Country.” He landed in North Carolina after moving from Ireland to New York and then to Apex. He found home here and wanted a way to give back to his neighbors and to protect the land he has come to appreciate so much. What he found was the wonderful world of a chimney sweep!
Marrying the chimney sweep industry with years of business experience has been a gift to the area as Robbie and Mr. Smokestack Chimney Service are well regarded for the integrity they bring to every job. If you have any doubts, take a quick look at the testimonial page, or for that matter, any local testimonial site in and around town. You will quickly realize that Mr. Smokestack Chimney Service should be your chimney company of choice in the area.
If you ask his customers why Mr. Smokestack Chimney Service has continued to grow year after year even in a down economy, they’d tell you it’s because of the way they are treated. Robbie would like that. He is a strong believer in treating people well, no questions asked. But as great a guy as Robbie is, he knows that hiring and training the right people is what will separate his business from all the others. Every person that has been hired spends at least twelve months riding with him and learning a lot more than just the chimney business; they learn the people business.
