The Importance of Chimney Sweeping

At its core, chimney sweeping is all about safety and efficiency. Over time, burning and usage of your fireplace generate a build-up of soot, debris, and creosote (with wood-burning appliances) 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 are 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.

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!

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.
