Services
My Father, Ray Brosius, started our family Chimney Sweeping business as B.A. Zoot Sooter in 1982. Being educated at home off and on throughout grade school and high school, we had regular opportunities to learn the art and science of chimney sweeping as well as the importance of excellence in customer service.
Always A Sweep is Ocala and Gainesville FL's leading chimney sweep specialists, offering a full portfolio of chimney and venting system services. Whether it's Gainesville chimney repair, cleaning, woodstoves, fireplaces, chimneys, or dryer vents, we understand the intricacies of the venting systems in your home.
Sticking to a yearly chimney cleaning schedule can help prevent a lot of chimney related issues. One of the most dangerous issues is creosote buildup. This results from wood being burned and can cause fires if left unchecked. Other issues include animals getting in your chimney and needing to get it capped.
We have been providing expert chimney inspections to Ocala & Gainesville FL since 1982. Our CSIA Certified chimney sweeps will be able to provide you with a comprehensive inspection to identify potential hazards, to make recommendations for maximizing efficiency and saving on home energy costs, and to provide tips to minimize hassle and maximize enjoyment.
At Always A Sweep, we are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality dryer vent cleaning services throughout Ocala and Gainesville FL. In addition to servicing chimneys, we inspect and clean dryer vents in one- and two-story homes. A thorough sweep by one of our dryer exhaust technicians includes searching for any issues that might interfere with optimal operation.

Thank you! For being honest and very fair priced. I’m sad I can’t use my fireplace anymore , but I’m so glad I called you to check it. I got the link for the electric logs and will be ordering them today. Thank you again.

Love this company! It's important to clean your dryer vent yearly at least to keep your dryer functioning well and prevent fires! We have been using them for a few years, but they went above and beyond when we were having dryer issues at the same time we were replacing our roof. Scott came out and helped with everything including a bigger vent cap in the new roof to help!

Joshua did a chimney inspection with video. He provided detailed information on what my older fireplace's problems were and options for a remedy. His technician did a thorough inspection and cleaning of my dryer vent as well. I will definitely use their service again.

Josh and Elizabeth showed up on time and took all the time we needed to understand where the problem was, our options for repair and different costs. As promised, he left the house cleaner than he found it.
Highly recommended.
Follow up. We had a cracked flue which could not be repaired except by removing the entire fireplace and rebuilding it. Fortunately it was covered by insurance as Joshua had suggested it could be. The finished fireplace is beautiful inside and out. The workers were always prompt, good-natured and competent. Frank Rounding did the beautiful masonry work.

This company performed the work two weeks later then originally stated. They busted my septic tank while installing the chase cover. This left a hole in my front yard for months. They were overpriced and never completed the job to my satisfaction and demanded payment before they would come back out. I would not recommend them to anyone.
