Our Story
A Lifelong Dedication to Honest Service in Minneapolis
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.
