Midtown Chimney Sweeps Franchising is Unique

At Midtown Chimney Sweeps we believe in letting the customer talk freely about the quality of service that we provide. Because that is how we grow. We need to hear the challenging and we need to discover what we did right. The same is true of listening to our franchise owners and those who might be franchise owners soon. The content on this page is dedicated to helping potential franchisees learn about Midtown Chimney Sweeps from other chimney sweeps.

Midtown Chimney Sweeps: A Legacy of Trust and Opportunity

The world of small business is both exciting and challenging, but few industries carry the timeless mystique of chimney sweeping. With over a hundred years of tradition in Western European nations like Italy, Germany, and England, this trade evokes romance and good luck. Midtown Chimney Sweeps stands out as a unique and successful brand in a niche industry with little sophisticated competition. Even before we began offering franchises, we had an interest list of eager entrepreneurs ready to join our journey.

Chimney sweeping isn’t fading—it’s thriving. More than half of U.S. households (52%) have at least one fireplace or freestanding stove, and 34% of wood or pellet stove owners rely on their stove as a major heat source. The industry generates approximately $2,185,000,000 annually, yet over 50% of chimney sweeps in the USA are over 53, nearing retirement without solid exit strategies. This creates a golden opportunity for new franchise owners to step in and succeed with Midtown Chimney Sweeps.

But what truly sets us apart? The voices of our franchise owners and customers tell the story best. Below, we share three franchise owner testimonials and five customer reviews from Google, showcasing the rewards of ownership and the quality of service that define Midtown Chimney Sweeps.


Franchise Owner Testimonials: Building Success with Midtown

Our franchise owners are the backbone of our brand, and their experiences highlight the strength of our business model. Here’s what three of them have to say:

  • JL, Midtown Chimney Sweeps of South Denver
    “Midtown has given me an inspiration and opportunity to move from being an employee in the food industry to a business owner in the hearth industry. I enjoy the daily variety. I love the customer interaction, and asking for the sale. I enjoy jobs in my market that other companies are not even pursuing—from large apartment buildings with 60 chimneys to individual property managers with a couple dozen rentals. Every day is a day closer to my dream!”

  • TC, Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Lancaster, California
    “I really like that the home office takes all my calls, booking customers on my calendar that’s been customized to fit my schedule. One of the features I like most is being able to schedule jobs by zone so I don’t waste gas driving back and forth across my service area. I also like that I get a text message within 5 seconds of the job, their info is saved in a quote which also gets emailed to me immediately. If I’m driving, sometimes I just pull over and check the quote to see if I’m close to the customer’s residence. It’s a good system for maximizing everyone’s time and keeping jobs on the schedule.”

  • GK, Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Boulder, Colorado
    “The support from Midtown is incredible. From the training to the marketing, everything is designed to help you succeed. I’ve been able to build a loyal customer base quickly, and the business just keeps growing. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made.”

These stories reflect the flexibility, support, and growth potential that come with owning a Midtown Chimney Sweeps franchise. Our owners thrive on the hands-on work, the ability to shape their schedules, and the robust system backing them every step of the way.

We’ll definitely be using them again when we need our chimney serviced. Thank you, Marcus!”

  • Joe, Customer

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
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Lisa, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Kurt was able to transform your fireplace into a beautiful, functional centerpiece for your home.

Excellent job. My chimney had creosote build up which affected my ability to burn cleanly. Derek cleaned and inspected everything and was able to clear the stack so I can use my wood stove again without sooting. Very grateful! Highly recommend.

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!

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!

Byron is the best! Beau serviced my freestanding gas stove for the 1st time in 12 years. He did diagnose a bit of a faulty pilot assembly. After replacing the pilot assembly there were some issues with the flame pulling off the thermocouple resulting with the stove refusing to stay burning for longer than 1 minute. After trying several fixes while consulting with Byron and even the Quadrafire techs the problem still remained. Byron came out personally a couple of days later and fixed the problem in less than 10 minutes. His experience really came through for us.
Beau and Byron will certainly to service our gas stove as well as our wood burner that Byron actually installed about 15 years ago.
Don't hesitate to call Mid Town for your fireplace and stove services.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your five-star review of our gas fireplace and gas stove repair and diagnosis business in the Evergreen and Conifer and Bailey area!
