Stephen was super friendly, fast, and knowledgeable. Would recommend!
We moved into a home with a faulty fireplace and couldn’t be happier that we called Midtown Chimney of Franktown. Mike showed up promptly and was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He clearly explained all of our replacement options and helped us choose the best solution without any pressure.

When additional electrical work was needed, Mike went above and beyond by arranging for an electrician to come out the very same day. The coordination was seamless, and the end result is a beautiful fireplace that we absolutely love.

What truly sets Mike and his team apart is their integrity and kindness. He even followed up afterward to make sure everything was working perfectly. Honest people, quality workmanship, and fair pricing are hard to find—but Midtown Chimney delivers on all three. We would recommend them every single time!
Beau came out to my property in Littleton, CO and did an awesome job! He was communicative, efficient, and knowledgeable. I would have him back out again!
Marcus was awesome, professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain what he found and was honest. Invoice was true to expectation. Would recommend!
I’ve been using Midtown Chimney Sweeps for 3 years now. They were recommended by my home appraiser and I’ve been extremely pleased with their services ever since. Their initial inspection as part of the home sale process was very thorough, and their subsequent services have been excellent as well
Midtown Chimney Sweeps, Daniel Ferreyra and his assistant, were outstanding from the moment we scheduled them until the project was completed. These guys were the utmost professional and personable individuals, working as a team. Our chimney was is disarray, unable to be used, and needed extensive repairs. Daniel was very thorough in his explanation of the work to be done. The job was completed perfectly and we are now enjoying the use of our fireplace. Personally, I will only use Midtown for any future cleanings and maintenance. I HIGHLY recommend Daniel and Midtown Chimney for any of your chimney needs.

Thank you Marcus. Great job 👏 Highly recommend!
We really appreciated the time Marcus took to explain everything. Ours is so old and too far gone to really just clean but he still took the time to explain why, how, and even give cost projection estimates for various options to replace and fix.
Had a great experience working with Byron and his team. He works a honest business and ensures the work is done right at a fair price. Looking forward to doing business with them again in the future!
Response from the owner:Thank you Tony!
I hope the new Vermont Castings Gas stove gives you years of good service! Thank you for working with us on the blower confusion, glad we could get it installed before winter for you and your family in Evergreen, Colorado!
