In 1979, at the age of 29, Jock Rotella was inspired by an article in Mother Earth News. He saw a need for reliable chimney services in Syracuse and decided to fill it, armed with dedication and a deep sense of purpose.

He packed his tools into a borrowed station wagon, setting out to offer dependable flue inspections and creosote removal. It was a start built on self-reliance, laying the foundation for over four decades of service.
