History of Sweep’s Luck Chimney Service

 Sweep’s Luck Chimney & Dryer Vent Service is a family owned and operated business
serving Southern California for over 27 years.  Sweep’s Luck founder, Gil Calkins,
established the business in 1982 with three goals in mind: reliability, honesty and
professionalism toward each and every client.  Twenty-seven years later, his goals have
paid off and a respected business continues to grow with locations serving Lake Arrowhead,
Crestline, Running Springs, Green Valley Lake, and Big Bear, as well as San Diego,
Temecula, San Clemente, and the Laguna area.
   Gil’s sons, Nolan and Nathan Calkins, took over the business in 2004 and continue to
improve upon his legacy.  To better serve their clients, Nathan and Nolan acquired more
service trucks, have a full time office assistant, created an informational website,
www.sweepsluck.net, and have spent months computerizing the Sweep’s Luck client
database.
 To further expand their range of services, Nolan and Nathan partnered with long time local
fireplace and stove company, Buck Energy Center.  Both Nolan and Nathan are licensed
and bonded under California’s State Contractors Board (#858593) and (#912719) with
Owner/Partner, Fred Webster.  Fred has served the San Bernardino mountain communities
since 1983.  Also, with the blessings of Nolan and Nathan, and sharing the determination to
promote the growth of the family business to other parts of Southern California, childhood
and family friend, Daniel Swedo, and his wife, Shelley, were given the great opportunity to
expand the family business to San Diego, Temecula, and the Orange County area.
 Nolan and Nathan have established Sweep’s Luck as members of the Lake Arrowhead,
Crestline, and Running Springs Chambers of Commerce, as well as the Better Business
Bureau, while Daniel and Shelley strive to develop similar affiliations into other Southern
California regions.  Sweep’s Luck has always been proud to give back to the community by  
contributing donations and services to many organizations and local schools.
 Continuing Gil Calkins’ expertise and family ethics, Nolan and Nathan are proud to be at
the forefront of their industry.  Sweep’s Luck Chimney Service is certified by the Chimney
Safety Institute of America, and is recognized by both California State and the National
Chimney Sweep Guilds as well as others listed on their website.  Sweep’s Luck is
fully
insured and carries worker's compensation and disability for every employee.
