Why a Chimney Sweep Business Investment Makes Sense

The chimney sweep industry is ripe for transformation, and Midtown Chimney Sweeps is perfectly positioned to lead the way. Here’s why this investment is a smart move:

  • Market Gaps: Industry statistics reveal that 85% of chimney sweep businesses are run by owner/operators who lack marketing expertise. This has resulted in slow or no growth for nearly 30% of these businesses.
  • Aging Workforce: More than 50% of chimney sweeps are over 50 years old and nearing retirement. This means over half of all chimney sweep businesses in the USA could close in the coming years, creating a significant opening for new players.
  • Growing Demand: Homeowners rely on chimney maintenance for safety and efficiency, ensuring a steady stream of customers for a well-run operation.

These factors create a massive opportunity for a system-driven, marketing-savvy company like Midtown Chimney Sweeps to step in and succeed. As a franchisee, you’ll capitalize on this untapped potential with a brand that’s built to thrive.

I’m a realtor. Stephen was hired to clean and inspect the chimney my clients were purchasing. A report was supplied and he also had recommendations to help the chimneys longevity and get in good condition for my buyers purchasing the home. He was hired to finish the job. Stephen showed up when needed, and had great communication as well! Thank you!

We needed to get our dryer vent cleaned out because it was long overdue. We’ve gone to them in the past to get our fireplace cleaned, and they did a great job with that.

Carl Blake
I stopped in to get some help with my pellet stove and Byron was a huge help. I needed a new auger motor and Byron thought the price looked too high so he called the manufacturer to confirm. Most people would just charge the price shown. Glad he did because the higher price was for the full assembly and I just needed the motor. Much respect for him checking.
Response from the owner:Thank you Carl for your 5 star google review on our pellet stove store in Evergreen, Conifer Colorado! I appreciated the professional care you show toward your pellet stove! Sorry Inglenook went out of business, but glad we could help you out! Thanks! -Byron and the Midtown Chimney Fireplace Store team of Evergreen, Conifer, Colorado

Rebecca
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!
Response from the owner:Hello Rebecca, Thank you for your 5 star google review about Levi and Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Duluth Minnesota! He is a professional chimney inspector and patient and thorough on fireplaces and woodstoves! Thank you! -Byron and the Midtown Chimney Team

June McKenzie
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:Thank 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.

I very much appreciate his honesty and help!
If I'm ever in the need of any fireplace or chimney needs Midtown will be my first call!
