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.

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!

Mike and Alice are very personable and have been super helpful every step of the way. My wife and I were looking to upgrade a faulty, unusable gas fireplace in our family room and, with great guidance from Mike and Alice, we picked a wood burning stove insert from Regency. Mike has come by multiple times to make sure we are comfortable with its use and has had great tips and tricks for getting the most out of our fireplace. We are very happy with the work and the service we have received. I highly recommend working with them! They give you quality work and stand by it.

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

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!

We have had Levi twice now. The first year Levi came and did an amazing job not only for me, but my father as well. Levi is timely, professional, but my favorite personable. The other thing about MTCS is their website works and the phone staff is great as well. Levi just cleaned our Kuma wood stove for this year and once again showed up prompt with a friendly personality. He got right to work and did another fantastic job. Lastly, MTCS and Levi not only does a fantastic job, but their pricing will beat the pants off of anyone in our area. Thank you Levi and MTCS for being phenomenal at what you do.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Josh, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Levi has consistently provided you and your father with excellent service. It's great to know that our website and phone staff have also met your expectations. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to serving you again in the future!
