Trusted Chimney Care Since 1985

Canterbury Chimney has been part of the Rochester community for nearly 40 years—helping neighbors stay safe, warm, and ready for every season.

Today, the company is owned and led by Brian Westman, a seasoned professional with over 20 years in the trade. Known for his hands-on expertise and straightforward approach, Brian handles everything from chimney cleanings and inspections to wood stove installations and cap replacements with care and precision.

Canterbury Chimney was originally founded in 1985 by Bruce Vanderwarker, and that same spirit of craftsmanship and community continues today. Bruce’s daughter, Kim Huther, remains an integral part of the team—managing customer calls, scheduling, and day-to-day operations to keep things running smoothly.

At Canterbury, it’s not just about getting the job done—it’s about doing it with pride, treating your home with respect, and standing behind our work. That’s the way it’s always been, and the way it still is.
