Always excellent customer service. Quality work. Very informative. We’ve had some repairs needed for our chimney and they never pushed us to do it too early just to make a buck, but rather kept us in the know of the progress of the problem and kept us safe.

It was a breeze to book an appointment online through Midtown Chimney Sweeps. They had an opening that same week. Quinton and his crew got to the home on time and got started right away on cleaning a gas insert. It hadn’t been used in over a decade, but they got it tuned up in no time. We ran it for 10 minutes, no problem. Quinton took time to explain his work and diagnosis of the unit which was appreciated. Highly recommend Midtown for your chimney needs.

Jake knows more about chimneys and fireplaces than any human should, which is a great thing! He showed up on time, gave us a thorough inspection with a really complete and honest recommendation on how to move forward and what we’d likely pay for the work, and was honestly just a really cool guy. If his wife is reading this, whom he spoke about, please make him get and use some beard balm. His beard is too awesome to continue getting washed with shampoo. 🤣

Service provider was on time, called to confirm, several reminder notices were provided prior to the day of service. Job completed in a timely manner and the serviceman was very courteous. Will not be able to commit for next year due to the doubling of the charge over a one year time period. In 2019, for the same service of dryer vent cleaning, the cost went from $70 to $139 in 2020. Will find another contractor to do this service next year.

Having recently returned to Iowa from an extended adventure in a tropical paradise; I found myself with a hankering for a cracklin' blaze in the fireplace. The home I've been living in had an insert that appeared to be usable; but, needed an examination and a cleaning. MCS had some decent reviews so I thought to give them a try. Jake showed up as scheduled; but, on a VERY wet and rainy day. After a little friendly small talk and preliminary Q&A he went to work covering every inch of flooring where he thought he might have to tread with clean dry tarps. He brought his equipment in and thoroughly cleaned and inspected the insert and chimney system. What we discovered wasn't what I wanted to hear. A considerable amount of work and expense would be needed to bring the system up to code. Although all appeared to be safe to the untrained eye; clearly Jake's recommendation meant NO fire would be absolutely free from catastrophic failure. I, in my disappointment, could give MCS an unfavorable review and word it is such a way as to spin it my way - but I won't. Jake told me the truth and gave me a document that proclaimed the unsafe condition of my fireplace/chimney AND a reasonable estimate of what it would take to fix it. Don't kid yourself as a potential client. You owe it to yourself, your family, and any future buyer of your dwelling to contact Jake and Midtown Chimney Sweeps. It's a stand up company with an honest representative that will not tickle your ears. The truth will set you free.

I highly recommended Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Wateloo. Tim was very professional and did the cleaning without any mess. He even helped with trimming a few branches that had grown too close to our chimney top. Tim recommended that we install a chimney cap which he even had with and installed for us. Great company and will be using them for our next cleaning. 
Carl Hartson

Tim was professional and honest. I called for an inspection and cleaning and he told me it was nearly clean already and wasn't in need of that service. I expressed my concern for safety and he offered a camera guided inspection of the joints. He inspected the roof site also. His honesty saved me money and gave me piece of mind. He was also careful to wear booties over his shoes in the house- without being asked. And he cleaned the glass to the fireplace. Tim even took the time to educate me on how to work the damper and warn me of how easily the chain can be broken if misused. Very satisfied with Midtown and we will use them again!

Tim and Justin did a fantastic job for me. They showed up right at scheduled time and the prices were very reasonable. I never realized how often I should be having this done but now I know with as bad as my vent was clogged that I need to have them over once a year. They cleaned up everything and now my dryer dries so much better! Thank you guys!

Riverview Conference Center is a high traffic facility. OxiClean came into our facility facing some pretty harsh stains and soiled carpet from some extensive use for the past few months involving food, coffee and mud. It looked like there would need to be replacement of carpet. The OxiClean staff knew exactly what needed to be done to restore the carpet to the new look. Staff is so accommodating and easy to work with. We are happy we found them and certainly appreciate their work ethic and integrity. We intend to make this an ongoing relationship..

I needed a chimney sweep and my dryer needed to be re-vented. They were on time, called before they came and were very professional in every aspect. Thoroughly explained the needed replacement parts but were not pushy at all which is important to me as a customer. Also were very friendly, fun and also respectful of my home. I would recommend Midtown Chimney Sweeps to anyone in need of their service!

In Iowa the winters are cold and summers are humid. This means that there is a lot of moisture in the air. When moisture mingles with the byproducts of combustion, a light acid results. This acid is located in the flue of the chimney, the innermost portion of the chimney that comes into direct contact with the byproducts of combustion.
The light acid in the flue eats away at the mortar joints in the traditional masonry flue of a traditional masonry or brick fireplace or chimney. Whether you have a commonly installed boiler furnace or water heater installed in the basement that exhausts into the brick chimney, or a nearby upstairs wood burning fireplace that has its own flue, this deterioration can be an issue anywhere in Iowa, from Dubuque and Davenport to Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids to Des Moines. All of these cities are within our current service area, and we are proud to call this state of Corn and Soybeans and hogs our awesome home. Please call us today and have your chimney inspected by our certified and insured chimney professionals.
