Smokestack Lightning, Inc. was founded in 1993 when Bill J. Simpson, a chimney sweep at the time, tried to find a quality lightning protection contractor for his chimney customers. Unable to source suitable help, he did some research, learned everything he could about the industry, and started his own lightning protection company. Since then, Smokestack Lightning has worked hard to bring the best practices, training, and expertise to customers in New England. Smokestack has several LPI-certified master installer/designers on staff and services all lightning protection needs—testing, inspections, design, and installation—throughout the northeast.
