About Us | Kirby's Chimney Solutions

Thomas Kirby’s story is rooted in the neighborhoods of Minneapolis. Starting his first job in the trade at just 15 years old, he learned early on that good work is about trust, not sales pressure. After years of full-time immersion in the field, Thomas saw a gap: too many homeowners in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas were left feeling anxious or shamed about neglected chimneys and fireplaces, often pressured into expensive repairs they didn’t need. Kirby's Chimney Solutions was founded as the answer, a business built on practical, code-compliant advice and a friendly, down-to-earth approach. As a CSIA certified chimney sweep, Thomas runs every job himself, ensuring direct access to a master technician who genuinely cares. From classic brick homes in South Minneapolis to newer builds in Waconia and family homes in Hudson, each project receives the same standard: integrity, reliability, and a promise of a full condition breakdown, not a scare tactic.

Kirby's Chimney Solutions stands out in a crowded field by focusing on what matters most to Twin Cities homeowners: honest evaluations and practical repairs. While many companies use fear-based sales to push costly solutions, Thomas Kirby offers a clear alternative. Every inspection and cleaning is performed with a practical eye, prioritizing safety, code compliance, and your budget. Whether you need creosote removal, a new stainless steel liner, or just a gutter cleaning, you’ll get a transparent explanation of what’s necessary and why. The approach is always non-judgmental, designed to make customers feel comfortable even if maintenance has been delayed. With a commitment to responding within 24 hours and a focus on small jobs as well as major rebuilds, Kirby’s provides peace of mind for families, landlords, and real estate professionals throughout Minneapolis, Waconia, Hudson, and beyond.
