Project Overview
We were contacted by Jack back in 2010 to maintain his then-current website. In 2012, Jack had us make major modifications to his website; eventually, he had us redesign it.
Jack and Joe, both Marine Corps veterans, connected over their shared service background, which helped build trust early in the relationship. Over the years, we have redesigned this website several times for the client.
Challenges
Jack was slow to relinquish design control over his website, which at times made it difficult to help him market his business online.
Solutions
This was a redesign of the website that Simply Web Services had previously designed for the client. This redesign is built on WordPress.
Graphics Design
We designed a series of Facebook posts and QR codes for Jack and Cody. Here is one of the QR codes we designed.

Why Home Service Contractors Need a Website That Keeps the Calls Coming
For a chimney sweep, duct cleaning, or any home service contractor, most new customers are searching in the moment they need help — a clogged flue before winter, ducts that need cleaning before allergy season, or a safety inspection they’ve been putting off. If a business doesn’t show up clearly and credibly in that search, the call goes to a competitor instead. A professional website builds the trust homeowners need before letting a technician into their home or attic, while also making it easy to see service areas, certifications, and how to schedule an appointment without picking up the phone first.
Simply Web Services has partnered with The Chimney Sweep & Duct Cleaning since 2010, redesigning their website multiple times as the business — and its ownership — has evolved, most recently supporting the transition from longtime owner Jack to his nephew Cody. Along the way, we’ve handled everything from responsive web design and graphic design to local citations, Google Business Profile management, and online reputation management, helping this 25+ year Stafford-area business stay visible to homeowners across Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Stafford, and King George. Whether you’re a chimney sweep, HVAC company, or any home service contractor navigating growth or a change in ownership, Simply Web Services has the experience to keep your website — and your phone — working for you. Call us today at (540) 479-6350 to get your home service business online.
