Priddy Chimney was founded in 1982 in Bethesda, Maryland as a one-man sweep operation. It has since grown to a full-service chimney company that offers sweep, repair, and artisanal masonry expertise. We service Washington, D.C. and its surrounding suburbs; greater Baltimore, including the I-95 corridor between the Baltimore (I-695) and Washington (I-495) Beltways; as well as northern Virginia.

We proudly remain family-owned and female-led, two qualities we believe help us deliver better than our competition. Our management team includes:
