Top Hat Chimney Sweeps

Company Profile

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.

I am extremely pleased with the prompt service and professional workmanship that Top Hat Chimney sweeps has provided to me for over 20 years. Greg always conducts a thorough interior cleaning and exterior inspection of the chimney. We sustained a lightning strike on Saturday June 11 2011 that directly hit our chimney destroying the top portion. On the Monday following the tragedy Steven Spring came out to price the repair and the very next day his crew came out and rebulit the chimney. All of the team ranging from their office to the repair team did an incredible job. I highly recommend Top Hat Chimney Sweeps and repair.

This amazing team was professional and courteous from the first call to arrange the estimate, and from there the service only went up! Steve Spring knew in under a minute what it may require to repair our chimney, and once the work was scheduled, his very capable crew completed the work carefully and efficiently. The only evidence left of their work was the pride of their workmanship! I couldn't have asked for anything more from a service provider and highly recommend Top Hat for any chimney work -- I can now safely shout it from the rooftop!!

Top Hat Chimney Sweeps was truly professional in presentation, care and workmanship. We were pleased when their original quotation matched the invoiced amount without hidden extras or upcharges. The workmen showed up right on time and were polite and very clean every time they entered the house. When the job was done, there was no debris for me to pick up. But most importantly, the workmanship seems to be top notch. The brickwork matches exactly and the joints are tooled exactly like the original bricks just beside the area of repair. Good to know some trades still have a sense of pride in their work!

Excellent service and workmanship. We had our 40 year old chimney repaired --- of course we couldn't find bricks to match the original chimney, so you can tell it's been repaired when you look at it, but Top Hat did a very good job of finding modern matching brick. The workers were polite and prompt - they came back and checked the chimney when we had some water come in through the chimney (it was an unrelated problem), and I have to say that we got a great job for a fair price.

Recently, we needed to have a WETT inspection done of our woodstove for insurance purposes and it needed to be completed quickly. Top Hat staff completed the inspection, provided sound advice, and did the work on the weekend to accomodate our needs. Many thanks to the staff at Top Hat.

The estimate was fairly done and very informative. Proved to be completely competitive once I checked others. The workers were very timely, considerate, informative and friendly. Upon close inspection, the quality of the work done is excellent. Very professionally done. The site was left spotless when they left and they were done more quickly then estimated. I highly recommend Top Hat for a job well done at competitive rates. Their assessments are honest and clear. Great stuff!

I called Top Hat to have my chimney cleaned, I explained in the call that I have a wood stove. The fellow came and said they didn't tell him it was a wood stove. He looked at the stove and said it was impossible to clean because of the 45 degree angle from the stove pipe to the chimney. He did not inspect the chimney, he said I need to have a cleanout installed before it can be cleaned and a liner. He would take the report in to the office and someone would come and give me a quote. He also stated my fireplace was unsafe to use. They charged me $78.00 dollars for absolutely nothing Today I had another company in, wett certified, had no problem cleaning the chimney which he said was very clean to begin with. I wouldn't recommend this company at all. They may have more positives then negatives...up to you to take a chance.

Top Hat Chimney Sweeps installed chimney caps and did some masonry work at my home. All of the work done was totally satisfactory and the jobsite was left perfectly clean when the work was completed. I would not hesitate to recommend this company for chimney or other masonry work.
