Service not as thorough this year
Hi. Thank you for your feedback.
Although all of our technicians are up to the same high standards, we do appreciate that many customers prefer to deal with the same person from year to year. For this reason we do TRY to send the same technician whenever possible. Please request Greg at the time of booking your next appointment and we will make sure to accommodate you.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. It is always appreciated!
Hi Grace. I'm sorry that your experience with our company was less than expected.
A Basic Visual Inspection is part of our regular chimney sweeping appointment. Aside from the actual cleaning, informing the homeowner of any potential issues with their wood-burning system is an important part of our service, and most homeowners are welcoming of this information.
As far as our pricing on additional work, we find that we are always competitive with the other couple of ESTABLISHED companies in the GTA. In general the only companies that can offer a lower price do not have our level of experience or expertise, and can't offer a meaningful warranty.
In defense of Mike, he is has been with Top Hat Chimney for over 20 years and I can honestly not remember the last time that I received anything but positive feedback about him or his work... I really think this may have been an unfortunate case of miscommunications.
In any case I am happy for your feedback as we are always trying to offer the best service possible.
Thank you,
Steve Spring

PS. All chimneys should have a rain-cap on the top regardless of height.

Dear Ms. Wilson,
Thank you for taking the time to post the great review! It is very rewarding to everyone in the company to know that our efforts are appreciated.

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.
