The Importance of Chimney Sweeping

At its core, chimney sweeping is all about safety and efficiency. Over time, burning and usage of your fireplace generates a build-up of soot, debris, and creosote (with wood-burning applicances) along the inner walls of the chimney. If this build-up is not addressed, it will drastically reduce your chimney efficiency and, more critically, increase the risk of a chimney fire. 

Regular chimney sweeping is vital for:

Fire Safety: 

Over time, creosote and soot build up inside your chimney. These substances are highly flammable and can cause dangerous chimney fires if not removed regularly.’

Efficient Heating:

A clean chimney allows your fireplace to burn more efficiently, providing better heat output and saving you money on fuel.

Preventing Blockages:

 Debris such as leaves, twigs, and even animal nests can block your chimney, preventing proper ventilation and causing smoke to enter your home.

 Extending Chimney Life:

At Midtown Chimney, we want your Chimney to last a lifetime, while saving you money. Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend the lifespan of your chimney, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.

In addition to chimney cleaning, we offer comprehensive fireplace cleaning services. Keeping your fireplace clean is essential for both safety and aesthetics. Choosing Midtown Chimney Sweeps means opting for over 40 years of experience in our industry and professional, courteous service every single time!

Our Fireplace Cleaning services include, but not limited to:

Ash and Soot Removal:

Glass Door Cleaning:

 If your fireplace has glass doors, we clean them thoroughly to remove soot and smoke stains, ensuring a clear view of the fire.

We clean and inspect the grate and andirons, ensuring they are free of debris and in good condition.

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
Nathan did a great Job!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Connor! We will be sure to let Nathan know! We appreciate the review, please take care! - The Midtown Chimney 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!
