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.

I could not be more pleased with our stove and the services we received from Midtown. Byron and his team are great folks with incredible knowledge and expertise. We purchased a new Regency brand wood stove, and it is truly amazing! In addition, we've already had the crew service and sweep our stove, and I feel it will serve us well for many years to come. I am not the easiest person to please, and Byron and his team have far exceeded my expectations. Many business owners could learn from the professionalism this team shows. Thank you, Byron team!
Response from the owner: Wonderful, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with us, Joshua! Your kind words are truly appreciated and we're so happy you'll be able to enjoy your new Regency wood stove just in time for the Holiday season! Thank you again and we look forwarding to connecting in the future, take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
This is a wonderful company. Byron and his team did a complicated re-route of a flue that our house's original owner had done improperly. They were timely, professional, and kind. Further, they have been super helpful when it comes to answering questions that we have about different things related to our stoves. It is so good to have a trustworthy company that does consistently good work.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Toby! We are so happy to be of excellent and trustworthy service! Thank you again for your review and please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is ever needed, we're always happy to share our knowledge to keep your chimney and stoves working properly and safely! Take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
Since writing the review below I have been in contact with Alice from Midtown Chimney Sweeps. Alice took the time to review the scheduling log to find out how my appointment was rescheduled. She worked with me to arrange for their technician, Mike, to fit me into the schedule this week. Mike was extremely polite and very knowledgeable about how to care and to prolong the life of my wood burning fireplace. My chimney flue was pretty dirty. Mike took the time to put a second drop cloth down to ensure the soot stayed in the fire box. The no show on the original appointment was an inconvenience, and it did cause me to look for other chimney sweep options. I am glad I stuck with Midtown, though. They were the only chimney sweep company that was willing to offer me a cleaning quote over the phone. I have updated my score from a 0 to a 5. I would recommend them to anyone reading this review.If I could give 0 stars I would. I scheduled an appointment with this company for a Monday at 3:30. We received an email on Friday with all of the instructions on how to prepare for our visit. I left work early to get home at 3:00 to wait for the technician. At 4:00 I called and found out the owner of the company moved our appointment date out to Friday. We didn't receive a call or notification. What kind of company does that? If you choose Midtown Chimney Sweeps, I suggest calling frequently to make sure they haven't haphazardly changed your appointment time. Or, better yet, just choose a company you can actually count on.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Stephen! We are so happy we were able to make this right for you and we appreciate the continued feedback, it makes us even better at what we do! Please have a lovely holiday and don't hesitate to reach out to us again if anything else is ever needed, thank you!!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
Doug did an excellent job cleaning our fireplace. He was prompt, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Even though it’s a very old chimney, he made it look brand new.He was also very kind to our dog. We will definitely have Doug clean our chimney moving forward. Thanks for the excellent service. You were fantastic!
Response from the owner: Wow, thank you so much Nicki! We will definitely pass this along to Doug! We are so happy to be of excellent and kind service! Looking forward to next year's cleaning! Please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is needed in the meantime and please take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
I recently worked with Midtown Chimney for a chimney installation in my Nederland, Colorado home, and I can’t say enough good things about them. After a severe windstorm, we discovered that our newly installed chimney had been torn off, causing a leak that damaged our downstairs gym’s walls and ceiling. To my surprise and relief, Midtown Chimney immediately took full responsibility without hesitation. They replaced the entire chimney chase and chimney with a brand-new unit and also agreed to reimburse me for all repair costs related to the interior damage.What truly sets Midtown Chimney apart is their integrity, honesty, and professionalism. Rather than deflecting blame or making excuses, they owned the issue and fixed it promptly. In today’s world, it’s rare to find a company that genuinely stands behind its products and services. Midtown Chimney is one of those exceptional companies, and I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication to doing what’s right.If you’re looking for a company that cares about your satisfaction and will do whatever it takes to ensure a positive outcome, I highly recommend Midtown Chimney. They’ve earned my trust, my respect, and my business for years to come.
Response from the owner: Wow, we truly appreciate your time sharing your positive experience with us, Daniel! Thank you so much for your understanding and kind words! We are so happy to be of honest and professional service! Please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is ever needed and we look forward to connecting again! Take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
I called today about having my gas fireplace repaired because it wouldn't start for me. I talked with Byron on the phone and he literally walked me through the process to avoid a service call. Thank you so much for the level of customer service you offer!!
Response from the owner: Boom! Thank you so much Roxanne!We appreciate being able to help our neighbors!-Byron and the Midtown Fireplace Store Team
After our annual chimney cleaning and camera inspection, our technician Levi noticed 2 anomalies in two separate chimney flue sections of our 36 year-0ld Mendota Hearth wood fireplace. Levi took still images of the flue separations so we could both evaluate the problem and come up with a maintenance plan. We decided on a complete chimney flue replacement that went absolutely as planned. From the drywall opening cut in a closet wall which was needed to access the top of the firebox to the chimney cap removal to the closet wall drywall replacement and clean-up, we could not have been more satisfied. We would highly recommend using Levi and his crew again, and look forward to his Fall cleaning and inspection.Jon & Patty LangleeDuluth, MN
Response from the owner: Wow, thank you so much Jon! We truly appreciate your recommendation and time sharing your positive experience with us! Levi is one of the best and a true professional!

We are very pleased with the fireplace installation and masonry work done by Midtown Chimney and Fireplace Store. We had a wood burning insert that was no longer code compliant and Byron educated us on the new code and helped us with a turn-key installation. Other companies gave us bids, but did want to include any masonry work. Chris was very attentive to doing everything right! Thank you, Byron . . . We finished just in time for the incoming storms!
Response from the owner: Wow, thank you Jeff for sharing your positive experience with Byron and Chris! Byron is a true professional and always happy to share his knowledge! Glad everything was completed in time for you to enjoy your new wood burning insert this winter season!

We had Byron from Midtown chimney fireplace store how to clean our open style wood burning fireplace.He did a good job cleaning it. Although it sounds like we need to have some creosote removed and maybe crown coat at the top but he was nice to work with .He also mentioned a woodburning insert with a $2000 tax credit possible so I might be interested in getting a woodburning insert with a full length insulated liner.
Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us, Adam! Always happy to share our knowledge! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or anything is needed. Thanks again and please take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
