The owner / operator of this company has been working in and around fireplaces and chimneys since age twelve. He has owned another chimney service business which at it’s peak employed four field service techs two of which were certified chimney sweeps, operated two trucks, and owned a healthy serving of specialized fireplace and chimney service equipment. That business which had operated under Jeriah’s a.k.a. J.C.’s ownership since mid 2010 was sold in late 2023, and the smaller chimney service business name already existing since 1998 was handed down from Gary Bendixen to his son Jeriah Bendixen. Gary originally chose that business name in recognition of his own father, a son of Norwegian immigrants to America, who was commonly known as “Ben” Bendixen, and who was self employed as owner/operator of Ben’s Standard Oil service station in Key Largo Florida. Jeriah is now taking steps to expand the offerings of this burgeoning new business over the next two years, and for the meantime is presently taking on small to medium chimney sweeping, smoke chamber, firebox, and chimney chase top repairs, and duct cleaning jobs.
