History
Established in 2000.
Our story started with a ladder, a shop-vac, and a promise: “Do the job right and treat every home like your own.” What began as Tristan’s Chimney Service steadily grew into a multi-county team trusted across the High Country and Tri-Cities. As our services expanded—from sweeps to full relines, rebuilds, and wood/gas installations—we rebranded to Ember Keepers to match who we’d become: guardians of the hearth.
We’re still locally owned by Jeremy Maynard, still CSIA-certified, and still obsessed with clean, code-correct work and clear communication. Recent milestones include opening our Hampton, TN location and building in-house capabilities for faster turnarounds and tighter quality control. Whether it’s an annual inspection or a complex restoration, our history is simple: show up, explain the “why,” do it right, and stand behind it.
Meet the Business Owner: Jeremy M.
I’m Jeremy, the guy behind Ember Keepers. I started sweeping chimneys to pay the bills and stayed because protecting families from fires and fumes matters. Two decades later, I lead a CSIA-certified team that treats every home like our own. We’re local—born and raised serving Western NC & Eastern TN (Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Johnson City, Bristol, Kingsport)—and we’re not a franchise. Our promise is simple: clear communication, clean work, and code-correct solutions that last. From annual inspections and sweeps to relining, rebuilds, and wood/gas stove installs, we do it carefully and we do it right. If you want friendly pros who show up when they say they will, explain the “why,” and leave your home safer and spotless—that’s us. Thanks for considering Ember Keepers!
