History
When my grandfather first formed Al's Chimney Cleaning in San Francisco it was to provide a better life for his wife and soon to be family than he had received as an Alfalfa farmer in the badlands of New Mexico. From what I have been told my grandfather Al Sanchez was the first in over 200 years of family history that had not followed the family tradition of being a farmer in New Mexico. In my grandfathers' footsteps an industry followed; with the exception of one company, all of the Chimney Sweeps in the greater Bay Area can trace their beginnings to either Al's Chimney Cleaning or a company that was founded by family members of my grandfather. When my grandfather passed away in 2010 he left his company name to me as I was one of the few of his grandchildren that continued to hone my craft as a chimney sweep and repairman.
Specialties
At ALS Chimney Cleaning, we are a third generation of excellence. After my grandfather started the original incarnation of Al's Chimney Cleaning in the mid-1950s he inadvertently began a family legacy. Now in its 3rd generation of owner/operator Al's Chimney looks to be firmly entrenched in the industry for the foreseeable future. I pride myself on workmanship and industry know-how that only comes from a family trade. Please allow our family to help bring warmth to you and yours this coming season.
