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!

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

It’s refreshing to be able to have an experience where you work with a professional who really understands what it means to provide service. Having just moved into a new home I’ve had my share of encounters with professionals as in regard to moving things, setting up things, installing things, etc. Kurt Matthews of Midtown Chimney Sweeps was far and away the most professional individual I encountered. He was friendly, punctual, communicative, and most of all he knew what he was talking about. When we ran into issues where the previous owner of the home did not provide adequate access to important safety equipment Kurt and I, had a mini meeting in my living room, where he explained all the options. We decided on the less intrusive of which, and within a few hours I have a working, beautiful, safe fireplace. Thank you, Kurt!

These guy are the best to work with Kurt! We’ve been collaborating together with our stone mantels to quite awhile now and will always recommend. Their inspection and sweeping services are second to none. We’re more than happy to refer them to them in the Hillsborough, New Brunswick, and Edison area.
These guys replaced our chimney liner a few years ago. 5 star review for their services.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the outstanding job done by Midtown Chimney Sweeps. From start to finish, the entire experience was professional, organized, and truly customer-focused.
Jody and Christopher were absolutely exceptional. They were prompt, punctual, and extremely professional—while also being personable and easy to communicate with. From the moment they arrived, they treated my home and personal space with complete respect. Before any work began, they carefully prepped the area, covering floors, rugs, furniture, and the entire workspace to ensure everything was fully protected. Their attention to cleanliness and detail immediately gave me confidence.
The project took place over two days, and throughout that time they remained focused, diligent, and hardworking. They kept me informed every step of the way, clearly explaining what they were doing and what to expect next. Their proactive, customer-first communication style made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I always felt up to date and fully aware of the work being performed.
Even though chimney cleaning and repair can naturally involve dust, noise, and odors, Jody and Christopher went above and beyond to be as minimally intrusive as possible while still working efficiently and effectively. They created a work environment that felt organized and controlled, and I was completely comfortable having them in my home. In fact, I felt at ease stepping away and going about my day with total peace of mind, knowing the job was in capable hands.
When the project was completed, they didn’t just pack up and leave—they carefully cleaned, vacuumed, and ensured everything was left spotless. Their craftsmanship, expertise, and pride in their work were evident in the superior final result. The repair and cleaning were done to an exceptional standard, and the finished product exceeded my expectations.
If you’re looking for reliability, punctuality, professionalism, outstanding attention to detail, and true craftsmanship, I highly recommend Midtown Chimney Sweeps—especially Jody and Christopher. I am extremely happy with the service and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Response from the owner:Patrick thank you so much for the kind words about our chimney and fireplace restoration repair technicians Christopher and Jody at Midtown Chimney Sweeps Fireplace store in Boulder!

Chris and Jody are both second generation technicians in masonry and Sheet Metal and I couldn't have a better duo.

Kurt took our fireplace from totally unusable .. to a wonderful working fireplace. He is a master at his job. A true craftsman. Our home is over 100 years old. We bought the home because we wanted a fireplace. However whenever we lit a fire, even a duralog. Our home was filled with a smoke smell. Kurt restored our fireplace to perfection. He is always there for you. Answers any questions. You cant find any person more qualified than him
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Lisa, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Kurt was able to transform your fireplace into a beautiful, functional centerpiece for your home. It's always our goal to provide expert service and ensure our customers are completely satisfied. If you have any more questions or need assistance in the future, we're here to help!

Excellent job. My chimney had creosote build up which affected my ability to burn cleanly. Derek cleaned and inspected everything and was able to clear the stack so I can use my wood stove again without sooting. Very grateful! Highly recommend.

We have lived in a 250 year old dutch farmhouse for the last 26 years. One of the fireplaces was so poorly reconstructed, most likely from the 50-60's that we could never use the fireplace. I called Kurt at Midtown and he suggested a wood-burning insert stove . He suggested a contractor to help with closing-in the fireplace hearth so that it seamlessly would receive the wood stove. They had to be pretty creative in how to make this work, and were really patient and focused on getting the best look possible for the age of the house.
In the first month after having the wood burning insert installed, we have used it at least 20 times. Its super easy to fire, draws great, and warms the room fantastically. My wife is thrilled... which is saying something! Nice work Midtown Chimney. We couldn't be happier.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Christopher, for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that the wood-burning insert stove has brought new life to your historic farmhouse and that your wife is delighted with the results. It's fantastic to know that Kurt and the team could provide a solution that fits seamlessly with your home's character. We truly appreciate your kind words and are here whenever you need us!

Mike did a great job repairing shoddy work done by another vendor before him. After finding switches on 3 of my propane fireplaces had their safety wires removed he went about repairing and bringing all of them up to code and working order. Everything works great now. Thank you!
