It was early spring in 1987 when Alan first started to do chimney cleanings for his own home. Jana began to recieve phone calls from friends for Alan to come and clean their stove or fireplace. He and Jana created Alan's Chimney Sweep from the popularity by word of mouth. Soon Jana was able to stay at home with their two children and to handle the business fulltime.
When the business became more known Alan began to work with two heating companies in Carson City, installing stoves, inserts, and fireplaces for them. Alan and Jana opened A.J's Stoves in 1997. Alan and Jana's only help at that time was their kids, Krystle(10), and Brian(8). Business stayed steady for years and Alan started looking for some good help.
Currently, Alan and the guys man the fieldwork. Jana works mornings in the shop and take's care of their granddaughter in the afternoons. Meanwhile, Krystle works in the shop and Brian works out in the field.
Alan's Chimney Sweep has now been serving their customers for 21 years. A.J.'s Stoves, who is run by Alan's Chimney Sweep, has been serving their customers for 11 years.
