What does a Midtown Chimney Territory look like?

The nature of territory rights is always a hot topic for prospective franchisees. They like everything they see up to this point. Many people want an exclusive or protected area to operate their business in return for paying the upfront franchise fee. So the question often asked is,  what rights do I have to a territory under my franchise agreement?

With Midtown Chimney Sweeps, you have Protected Territories. 

Midtown restricts direct marketing efforts based on territory, thus protecting Midtown Chimney Sweeps franchisees from having their business taken away from them by other owners. Protected territories are sometimes unique to service-based franchise opportunities, so understand all your options while doing the research. It encourages the sharing of best practices to develop the brand as a whole!

2025 Midtown Initial Investment Franchise Disclosure Document!

The total investment necessary to begin operation of one Midtown Chimney Sweeps Business franchise ranges from $73,062 – $145,648. This includes $49,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate. You may purchase an additional territory at the same time as the first territory for $15,000. 

For Other Brands What do the Terms Protected or Open Territories mean? 

With other brands you may be granted exclusive rights for a territory or only the right to operate at a specified location (like a shop in a shopping center). Some franchise systems have no territory protection, meaning other franchisees can open close by or right over the top of your area. Other terminology is sometimes used in franchise agreements such as marketing area or first right of refusal area. These terms can all have different meanings and different implications for the franchisee.Talk to one of our franchise developers today by calling us directly:  (720) 763-8069

We have been using Midtown Chimney Sweeps every year since moving to Duluth in 2019 to inspect and clean our fireplaces and chimneys. Levi and his team have been providing an awesome service each year. We have a wood burning fireplace and a wood burning stove, and each year they come and clean out both. They take care when completing the tasks to ensure nothing else in the house is impacted by their work, and it is affordable and professional. I would highly recommend them!

Kurt and his crew are brilliant! Kurt provided one of the most reasonable quotes on the market, was kind, considerate and knowledgeable, came on time and completed the project on time, and even after a year, stopped by to check on things when I was a little worried. He's a stand up guy who stands by his work. I'm very fortunate to have found Kurt.

This service is great and I’ve signed up for annual maintenance. Marcus was friendly, professional and went over everything with me. Very highly recommended!

Itzayana Rodríguez Sánchez
Exceptional chimney cleaning service. They showed up punctually, performed their tasks effectively, and tidied up afterward. The crew also fixed our chimney liner and inspected the cap. Outstanding focus on safety and thoroughness. Would definitely hire them again.
Jim Brose
I was having an issue with a mildew smell coming from the chimney, so I assumed I needed the chimney cleaned. Daniel came out, told me what the problem was, and that cleaning wouldn’t correct it. He then explained how to alleviate the issue myself and didn’t even charge me for the visit! He could have cleaned it, taken the money, but he didn’t.

When he left it looked as if there had never been a problem… everything was clean, He was very nice and it was pleasant to have him in our home. Also, Byron was very considerate of our budget and helped save us some money.

The crew showed up on time, laid down protective coverings, and got right to work. No mess, no fuss, just a complete chimney cleaning and a detailed check of the liner and damper. They even used a camera to show me the before and after. You don’t realize how much buildup hides in there until it’s gone. The fireplace is breathing easy now—and so am I.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review of our chimney sweep crew showing up on time with drop cloths and cleaning the chimney and checking the liner and damper and inspecting the flue with a camera in Evergreen, Colorado. Thank you! Byron and the Midtown Chimney Team
