What are the Staff like?

Our Staff are so good that they often get included when customers write reviews on Google and our Unique Customer Survey.

The Midtown Chimney Sweeps Scheduling Center staff are educated on different chimney sweeping methods, chimney types, vacuums, and competitors. We use local phone numbers as well as a nation-wide phone number for customers to reach your local small business. Caring for the customer’s needs is paramount if your business is going to succeed. And that is what we strive to do for you!

Why Use a Scheduling Center for Small Business?

A scheduling center is the single greatest achievement of the brand, pressing your local small business above and beyond the competitors. It removes much of the stress from your family life. It allows clients to book on your custom schedule when you are working. No more voicemail problems and lost-in-shuffle customers. We handle these items in the most professional way. That way you can handle the customer interaction and upsell quality products in the most professional way. Now you have people. People you can rely on in a modern scheduling center you can trust.

What our Founder Wanted

Our founder has specially designed our Midtown Chimney Sweeps Franchising system around the scheduling center concept, an idea that he believes is most important in a customer’s decision making process when choosing which sweep to hire. This is most critical when a small chimney sweep business is in it’s peak busy season, and the phone is being handled with excellence. That is when the small operator is most thankful for an expert staff. Instead of losing work, the trained office staff will find a way to add the customer to the already full calendar saving you money and growing your top-line revenue even while you are out sweeping or managing your business.

Chimney Sweep System

Midtown Chimney Sweeps is always looking for a more efficient way to do work. Our Chimney Sweeping System is unique- a gravity filtration HEPA vacuum, trademarked drop clothes, and cameras that inspect the inside of the chimney flue. There are tools, training, and pattern of customer interaction that instills trust and respect. We figure, if the solution is not out there, then we needed to develop it. And we did just that, and that’s why we’re the front-runner in the evolution of the chimney sweeping industry. Our growth is due to both a fantastic cleaning system and our commitment to our chimney sweep franchise owners’ success. This combination gives you a perfect chimney sweep franchise opportunity.

Protected Territories

Know The Boundary

The nature of territory rights is always a hot topic for prospective franchisees. They like everything they see up to this point. Many people want an exclusive or protected area to operate their business in return for paying the upfront franchise fee. So the question often asked is,  what rights do I have to a territory under my franchise agreement?

With Midtown Chimney Sweeps, you have Protected Territories.

Midtown restricts direct marketing efforts based on territory, thus protecting Midtown Chimney Sweeps franchisees from having their business taken away from them by other owners. Protected territories are sometimes unique to service-based franchise opportunities, so understand all your options while doing the research. It encourages the sharing of best practices to develop the brand as a whole!

For Other Brands What do the Terms Protected or Open Territories mean? Exclusive or ?

With other brands you may be granted exclusive rights for a territory or only the right to operate at a specified location (like a shop in a shopping center). Some franchise systems have no territory protection, meaning other franchisees can open close by or right over the top of your area. Other terminology is sometimes used in franchise agreements such as marketing area or first right of refusal area. These terms can all have different meanings and different implications for the franchisee. Even “exclusive territories” are not always exclusive, depending on how the franchise agreement has been drafted.

Our Founder

Our founder built the franchise system of Midtown Chimney Sweeps Franchising to be the business tool he wished he had always had. As a second generation fireplace and chimney technician, Byron Schramm looked high and low to find the right business analytics and tools. He found many disjointed programs and many of them simply would not integrate with each other. Our founder approached industry leaders and they had no business experience in those matters. Software issues and hardware issues ruled the day. From the challenges of those years we now present you with a business system that will reward the business owner! Now Midtown is the essence of chimney sweep simplicity  while yielding the results our founder wanted for himself years ago.
