💩 Why it's ugly

You deal with soot, ladders, droppings, blocked flues, and homeowners who discovered the issue through scratching noises. It is chimney work with feathers, which is exactly as charming as it sounds.

💰 Why it prints money

Blocked chimneys create safety concerns, odor, noise, and fireplace problems. Chimney sweeps, roofers, and pest companies often refer this work because it crosses trades and needs exclusion caps or screening after removal.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
