chimney cleaning and repair

I don't usually write testimonials, but we used Top Hat Chimney for a chimney sweep, and later for a chimney repair. In both cases their staff was very helpful and courteous, and they did a wonderful job! I have no hesitation reccomending this company.

Approximate cost of services:
$350.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?

Chimney Clean

The "sweep" showed up and pointed out a crack in the hearth. My girlfriend (9months pregnant at the time) was home alone, she decided not to get it cleaned if it needed repairs. The sweep tried to charge her 65 dollars... After she was almost in tears and on the phone with the company they brought it down to 37.10
for doing nothing.

These people are not good people.

Do not use them...

Chimney cleaning

I used this company a few years ago.
I left the house while they were cleaning the chimney with a loud super vacuum machine. After they cleaned my chimney I discovered a layer of soot on all the floors of my house. Of course this happened the day after my cleaning lady ( me) cleaned the house. The white furniture in my livingroom by the fireplace, took on a "lighter shade of pale gray". I called the company and left a message asking what they would do about the soot all through my house.
They called back and offered my husband a $20.00 reduction on the fee they charged. Unfortunately I wasn't home.
The next year they called to ask if I needed my chimney cleaned. I gave them an earful. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

Repair chimney brick work.

They took a long time to schedule the job. The job was completed very quickly (for the money I paid) and in the end the leak was not fixed. I followed up with the company to have them fix the problem. They did not return my calls and completely ped the ball.

More about Top Hat Chimney

Standing above the roofline, chimneys are fully exposed to rain and snow and are affected by winter's freeze/thaw cycles. They are therefore one of the first places on a house to deteriorate. This deterioration usually takes many years to begin but then progresses rapidly. Cracked or spalled bricks, damaged flue tiles or concrete caps, or a leaning structure are signs that the chimney needs immediate attention.

Top Hat Chimney specializes in all aspects of chimney repair and rebuilding. Our brick masons are unsurpassed in their level of expertise, and take pride in their workmanship. They take great care to protect the roof and ground so that all work will be completed in a clean and safe manner.

All of our work is guaranteed against defect in materials and workmanship.

We are happy to provide references from other satisfied customers in your area.
