Brick chimneys not only add character to your home but also serve a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of your fireplace. Over time, weather exposure, age, and wear can lead to issues such as mortar deterioration, brick cracking, and structural instability. Addressing these issues through timely chimney masonry repair is vital for maintaining the integrity of your chimney and safeguarding your home against potential hazards.

We moved in May and wanted to get our fireplace inspected to see if we could use it. They came out and said it could be, but would need some repairs, a heat shield and a chimney cap. On the day they came out to do the repairs, Jake realized that our fireplace was too small and they had incorrectly calculated so they could not guarantee that smoke would exit properly and it might come back in the home. I could tell he felt really bad, and he actually gave a full refund on the spot for the work they were not able to do, and even did not charge for the chimney cap. He offered an alternative option, a wood burning insert. We ultimately decided not to do that but only bc my wife wanted the natural fireplace or nothing. I would highly recommend Jake and his team bc of his honesty and the integrity that he showed. Not all companies would do that.
Response from the owner: Wow, thank you so much Jonathan. We appreciate your time sharing your positive experience with Jake. We're happy to be of honest service and to help anyway we can. Please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is needed in the future, take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

The gentleman was early to the appointment, which i interpret as good customer service. He explained every step he would perform on our chimney. He was efficient, he left no mess, went on top of the chimney, removed the cap, cleaned the flue from the top down after doing the bottom part from the fire box and he cleaned the glass door of our fireplace insert. He was respectful of my time, showed me before and after photos and he did what he promised and that was to fix our chimney so it would draw air up the flue correctly so we didn't get smoke in the house. And they were able to get us in before Christmas - what a bonus - and their rates are very reasonable. Highly professional in all manners dealing with me and I would recommend Midtown Chimney Sweeps to take care of your chimney, should it need it, as our did. I couldn't be happier !
Response from the owner: Brad,Thank you so much for that great and thoughtful 5-Star review and recommendation!! We truly do appreciate your business. We're so glad to know that Jake was able to get everything taken care of for you and your family. Jake is a true professional and takes great pride in his work and ensuring his customers are happy and educated at the end of the day. Please contact us again in the future. We look forward to servicing you again for your annual inspection next season. All the best to your and yours! Happy Holidays!-The Midtown Team

Midtown did a great job on a chimney inspection for us and they were very honest and found that an inspector who did the inspection on a chimney actually inspected the wrong chimney on a townhome. Our townhome chimney was in good condition and the next door chimney on the townhome was the one that wasn’t in good condition. They could of taken advantage of the situation but in stead they were very honest with us and said your chimney is in good condition and working properly. Very nice and professional company. I will be using them again in the future.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Mary! We are so happy to be able to provide great, honest customer service! We look forward to connecting in the future, thank you! Please take care!
