Lakewood homeowners hiring a chimney sweep this fall: ‘Licensed & insured’ sounds standard, but not all credentials are equal. We’re sharing what to check—and how we exceed those requirements to protect your home.
Lakewood homeowners: Verify these 3 things before booking your chimney sweep
First, confirm the company holds a current Colorado Home Services Contractor’s license—check the [Department of Regulatory Agencies site](https://dora.colorado.gov). Next, ask for a copy of their liability insurance and workers’ comp; if they won’t provide it, walk away. Finally, insist on a Level 1 chimney inspection before any sweeping—no exceptions. Lakewood’s older homes often hide hidden damage; skipping this step risks costly repairs. Need help verifying? Call us at contact—we’ll walk you through our credentials.
