The Importance of Chimney Sweeping

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

Byron and the team came out today to install our huge new powder coated chimney chase cover. They also detached the metal surround and painted it to match. The custom fabrication was perfect, and everything fits tightly and will be good to go for another 40 years, I’m sure. The service was great. The initial estimate was on time. The scheduling was communicated clearly. The installation was executed well.
Response from the owner: Awesome, thank you Scott! Happy to hear the whole process was smooth and that your chase will be set for many years to come! We appreciate your time and business and look forward to helping with all your future chimney needs. Take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

Midtown came to our house to clean our VERY DIRTY flue. This review may sound like I'm complaining, but read on...it has a happy ending!!! Apparently a back draft occurred and soot blew into the house and all over everything! We were in the process of selling our house and it was now filthy. I called Monty & Alice and they jumped on this!! It was late on a Friday, but first thing Monday morning they had a cleaning crew to my house. The crew spent 4 hours cleaning every surface (walls, floors, baseboards, lamps, plants...you name it...they cleaned it). The end result was a very clean flue and a very very clean house. Monty and Alice are the real deal in customer service. Highly recommend Midtown Chimney to anyone!!!!
Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Monty and Alice! We truly appreciate your time, business and recommendation. Please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is ever needed, take care! - The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

Talk about excellent service. Marcus on-time, knowledgeable, quick and efficient! Was able to look up and identify that my stove was actually up to code and no extra work needed to be done.

Mike explained the process and benefits of getting my pellet stove inspected. I do most of my own maintenance but did want a certified company to look at my stove/venting to ensure everything was in safe working order. The technician was professional and explained that I was doing a good job keeping my stove clean. He also said I was using good quality pellets. I will be using company every couple of years; if nothing else I will have good documentation should I have a major issue with my stove.
Response from the owner: Thanks so much Lisa! Mike is one of the best! We're always happy to share our knowledge to keep your pellet stove working safely! Looking forward to servicing your stove in the future, please reach out if anything is ever needed! Take care!-The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

Byron and crew are great. They installed a small wood stove insert for us that looks great and heats the whole house.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Brett! We're so glad to hear your new wood stove is keeping you warm and happy! Thank you again for your time and business and please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is ever needed, take care!-The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
I was looking to have a pellet stove installed in my home, there were many vendors out there for sure. After talking with the owner I decided to use Midtown Chimney Sweeps. I absolutley made the right choice. Thier team was professional, listened to my multiple questions and concerns. They made every effort to ensure that I was satisfied! The brand of stove that I chose was not up to par and Mike and Alice worked very closley with me to make it right. They went over and above with multiple visits, could not ask for better service or support. In the end I ended up with a better stove and the confidence that there is a good team behind it. Don't make the mistake of going elsewhere. They have a customer for life! Thank You!
Response from the owner: Wonderful, that's incredible to hear! Thank you, Jim! With Mike and Alice's expert knowledge, we're so happy to hear how satisfied you are with your new pellet stove! We really appreciate your continued business and for sharing your positive experience with us. Please take care!-The Midtown Chimney Team🎩
