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.

Thank you Marcus. Great job 👏 Highly recommend!
We really appreciated the time Marcus took to explain everything. Ours is so old and too far gone to really just clean but he still took the time to explain why, how, and even give cost projection estimates for various options to replace and fix.
Had a great experience working with Byron and his team. He works a honest business and ensures the work is done right at a fair price. Looking forward to doing business with them again in the future!
Response from the owner:Thank you Tony! I hope the new Vermont Castings Gas stove gives you years of good service! Thank you for working with us on the blower confusion, glad we could get it installed before winter for you and your family in Evergreen, Colorado! -Byron and the Midtown Chimney Team
Amazing experience! Byron showed up at 7pm to fix my leaking stove pipe. No other company comes close! Highly recommend!!

Marcus was great every step of the way when it came to rehabbing our home’s chimney.

From the initial inspection/cleaning, explaining the pre-existing damage found during the inspection, answering our many questions, explaining our repair options (with Midtown and with other firms), walking us through the timeline/process/cost for the repair and performing the repair itself, Marcus’s constant communication, professionalism, punctuality and workmanship was greatly appreciated and valued by our family. It is easy to understand why Marcus is in high demand within the region and we cannot thank Marcus enough for getting us ready for the fall/winter.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Ryan, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Marcus provided such excellent service and that you felt well-informed and supported throughout the process. It's fantastic to know that you are ready for the fall and winter seasons. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to serving you again in the future!
Marcus is thorough, professional, congenial and probably saved our house from burning down due to creosote buildup that had never been addressed in a 1920's chimney. The extent of creosote deposit would not have been discovered without the camera he uses. Thank you for preparing our chimney for a wood-burning insert!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Constance, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Marcus was able to provide such thorough and professional service, and that our camera technology helped ensure your chimney's safety. It's great to know you're now all set for your wood-burning insert. If you need anything else, feel free to reach out!
Midtown did a fantastic job with our two wood burning stoves. They were professional, thorough, and great to work with! Will be contacting them every year for the great service! Special thanks to Beau for great communication and braving the cold day up in Nederland!
Response from the owner:Wonderful! We are proud of Beau and appreciate your positive review of our Chimney Sweep business in Boulder Fort Collins! - Byron
Marcus was great! Answered my question as he did my inspection. Gave good recommendations on using my fireplace effectively. He's a blessing.
