They cleaned one chimney and recommended further repairs for safety. They inspected the other and said it didn't need cleaning. I was only charged for one chimney. I wouldn't have know there were here. Everything was clean and well taken care of. They have cleaned our chimneys in the past as well.

Description of Work: Top Hat did a very good job of cleaning my chimney. They also found some cracks in the chimney while doing the cleaning which resulted in having a stainless steel flue inserted in the chimney. The bulk of the cost of that work was covered by my insurance company. Top Hat dealt directly with my insurance company and provided details and pictures of the cracks to facilitate processing the claim. My only concern was the extremely long lead time on getting the initial cleaning done, (several months).

They were very clean and knowledgeable when they came. In the course of their cleaning, they saw things that need to be done. The amount of cleaning was minimal which is $75 I think. He explained what needed to be done and very much into detail. They did an excellent job and they did in a less time they said they would. I am very pleased with them. They have a very high rating at Angie's List.
Description of Work: I used the services of Top Hat Chimney Sweep. They looked at and cleaned the chimney early December of last year. In the process of doing of it, they found out that the main screw was terribly pitted from the oil burner. They came back last April to place a screw and put a new cap on top of the chimney.

Seemed professional and knowledgeable. We were a bit overwhelmed by the amount of work. the cost and the strict approach Top Hat recommended. We have selected another firm for the work, though I would happily contact and potentially work again with Top Hat.

Called for an appointment after a recommendation from a neighbor. They had a free time slot the same afternoon. She explained that their price was $95 for an inspection and $225 if it needed cleaning. We have a single tile flu fireplace - no other heating equipment is tied in. We have not had the chimney cleaned for 3 years; He checked the chimney from the bottom and the top. He explained we were at about an 1/8th of an inch layer of creosote - we could wait a year, but recommended we do it now. I agreed. He had all the equipment,got started right away, and finished in about an hour. Technician was pleasant, helpful - he arrived right on time. He cleaned up thoroughly. I would use this company again.
Description of Work: Inspected and cleaner our 8 year old chimney

We've used this company several times in the past and have always been happy with their work. They arrive as scheduled, do their work in a professional manner and although sweeping a chimney can be very dirty work, they never leave any indication behind that they serviced it. I definitely recommend this firm and will be using them again
