Why Join NCSG?

Founded in 1977, the National Chimney Sweep Guild has long set the precedent for innovation, professionalism, and community among chimney and hearth professionals. The aim of NCSG is to provide representation, proven industry standards, camaraderie, and networking. We accomplish this through education, industry specific publications, and a yearly convention that brings the industry together on a national platform.

Whether you are a small business or a large operation, we are here to connect you to the resources and tools your business needs to thrive.

Connect
The NCSG provides a space for like-minded individuals to exchange best practices and ideas, while sharing in the trials and triumphs that are unique to the chimney and hearth profession. By joining the NCSG, you are automatically plugged into this network of entrepreneurs, colleagues, and peers. Many of our members, in fact, have met lifelong friends. NCSG also delivers opportunities for you to give back to both your local and global communities by volunteering your time and wisdom.
 
Influence
There’s no surprise that there is strength in numbers, and by growing our Guild we increase our political clout and empower you. The NCSG advocates for our industries and interests at federal, state, and local governments, officials, and regulators. We also work with key stakeholders in our industry such as the Hearth, Patio, and Barbecue Association and state and regional chimney sweeping associations. Representation is important, so we send representatives to National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 211, 54, and 31 code councils.

Grow
You have already built a solid foundation; now let NCSG provide you with the tools to support your growth. To help you achieve both your business and personal goals, your company has access to members-only offers and discounts on business services, education, insurance, and more. You are kept up to date and informed on recent industry developments through our regular publications and newsletters.
