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:

We remove built-up ash and soot from the firebox, preventing blockages and reducing unpleasant odors.

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.

Grate and Andiron Cleaning:

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

Installers Tanner and Chris were courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. They cleaned up worksite thoroughly and explained stove functions well.
Response from the owner:Claudia, Thank you for your review of our gas stove installation and repair business here in Evergreen Colorado! It was great to have you in our showroom and look at the pellet stoves, gas stoves, and woodstoves we have here in Conifer! We serve Bailey, Kenosha and Evergreen, Colorado! -Byron and the Midtown Chimney Team
I'm so happy I contacted MTCS for my wood burning fireplace inspection! My home was built in the 30s, and we never asked if the chimney had been inspected when we purchased.

They sent over Levi Bruckelmyer to help us out. What a great experience it was working with him! As I suspected, our fireplace and chimney were in bad shape. After cleaning and inspecting he told us that it would not be safe to use it anymore. He went through lots of options for us in order for us to use it again; total restoration (our home and chimney are stone, so that would have been quite a job!), different styles of inserts, price points, etc.

We gave him a call back a couple of moths later when we were ready to have him install a steel insert. He helped us pick out just the right one for price and look.

Then, OOF! We encountered some road bumps because of how our fireplace had been built. He kept coming back friendly, timely, persistent, and committed until we finally had gotten all of the ducks in a row to get it working.

He was so professional and kind. It was very clear that he personally cared about our installation and put everything he had into getting that thing in there! It's obvious that this is his vocation and it really shows in his quality of service.

I happily recommend MTCS. Especially Levi. Even with my fireplace being a pain, the experience was great. I wouldn't want to have gone through that process with anyone else!

Bryon with Midtown Chimney Fireplace Store in Conifer is a joy to speak with! I called him on behalf of my clients with some questions, and not only did he answer them, but also gave me some suggestions for my buyers to consider when they replace their wood burning stove with a gas stove in the near future. What I also appreciated is that I did not need to leave a voicemail and wait for someone to call me back, which seems to happen more frequently these days. Bryon is incredibly friendly and professional. I highly recommend Midtown Chimney Fireplace Store!
Response from the owner:hank you June for your kind words about our pellet stove fireplace store in the Evergreen / Conifer area where we sell gas stove stoves and wood stoves! Thank you!! Byron and the team!

I was having issues getting my Jotul gas fireplace to light. I called Midtown to see about having them look at it.

Super grateful to the guys at Midtown Chimney/Fireplace. Called them for a Woodstove install for a new build. I needed it done quickly and had purchased materials and a stove from elsewhere.. Byron sent out two wonderful and competent installers NEXT day and my tricky install (steep roof!) was done perfectly in less than 24 hours from when I called them ❤️ so grateful!
Response from the owner:Thank you Aafke, It was our pleasure to head up the hill from Conifer, CO / Evergreen, CO to Bailey, Colorado and have the team set the venting through the roof. It was tricky, but we got it! And passed inspection too! Thank you for being so great to work with. We look forward to setting the wood stove soon! Byron
