Lindemann Chimney Service History
Lindemann Chimney Service has been servicing Chicago's North Shore and Northern Suburban area since 1969. We were founded by former Winnetka Fire Captain Gary Lindemann when he saw the immediate local need for Chimney and Fireplace Safety.
The current President and owner of the company is Robert Lindemann. Rob is a well respected business leader in the area and has lectured nationally on gas flue lining. As the former president of EO Chicago Rob has firsthand knowledge of the best business practices available in this country today. Never satisfied with success alone, Rob is always striving to find new ways to make his company a better place to work and expanding upon the quality customer service that built this company’s solid reputation.

All of our chimney sweeps are nationally certified for chimney cleaning and repairs as well as dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). We have the finest group of chimney experts in the Chicago area.
Our company is also a member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild.
As the Midwest leader in chimney care and fireplace safety, we provide both excellent products and unparalleled quality of workmanship. Chimney relining, a service that we have provided since 1979, is just one of our company’s specialties. We have also been selected as one of only two companies in the area to apply the newest fireplace lining system called Heat Shield. In addition we have several masonry crews that specialize in tuckpointing and chimney rebuilding. Our masons also do firebox repairs and construction.
As leading advocates for chimney and fireplace safety and education, we donated $20,000 to help build the CSIA Technology Center; it's our way of giving back to our industry and helping support the CSIA's educational and training programs.
With forty years of experience and talent Lindemann Chimney Service has become a leader in innovation and technology. We set the standards in the industry not only in the Chicago area but around the country. Our Chicago chimney history has been a proud testatment to our current focus on the future in the chimney sweeping and repair industry.
