About Our Company

Founded by Denis Ste. Marie on Montreal’s West Island, Capital Chimney Sweep Inc began as a small, hardworking operation built on dedication and quality service. After relocating to Ottawa in 1980, the company steadily grew from its humble beginnings on the road into one of the region’s most established and trusted chimney cleaning businesses. 

 

In 2012, co-owners Chris James and Eric Cantin took over the company. Together, they have over 40 years of combined industry experience along with full training and WETT certification, ensuring the highest standards of safety and professionalism. 

 

With an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and as recipients of the 2026 Consumer Choice Award for chimney cleaning, Capital Chimney Sweep Inc has earned a reputation homeowners can depend on. 

 

“For over 45 years, Ottawa homeowners have trusted us to keep their chimneys and their homes safe and clean. Honest service. Professional technicians. Peace of mind, every time.”
