Chimney Cleaning
Our chimney cleaning service removes soot and creosote buildup using advanced equipment to prevent fire hazards. Technicians perform a basic visual inspection to identify potential issues. The process ensures no mess in your home with protective ground sheets and specialized vacuums.
Inspections
We conduct detailed W.E.T.T.-certified inspections to assess chimney and fireplace safety. This includes checking for cracks, mortar damage, and flue integrity. Reports identify necessary repairs to maintain compliance and prevent hazards.
Repairs
Our brick masons repair cracked bricks, damaged mortar, and deteriorated caps. We address issues caused by weather exposure, ensuring structural safety. Repairs prevent hazards like falling debris and internal blockages.
Rebuilding
For severe damage, we rebuild chimneys using durable materials. The process includes removing debris, reconstructing masonry, and restoring functionality. All work is guaranteed against defects in materials and craftsmanship.
Liner Installation
We install stainless steel liners to meet fire code requirements, preventing embers from contacting combustibles. This service improves safety and efficiency for wood-burning systems, especially in older homes without existing liners.

Having your chimney done when you don't know much about chimneys or building is a bit of a daunting task. Top Hat took us through the whole process from consultation to completion smoothly and with ease. We are very happy with the quality of workmanship that was provided to us. Our chimney looks solid. Everything was carefully thought out on their part and they left our backyard clean and without any damage. They're courteous & knowledge, and gave us an overall great experience. Thank you for giving us a beautiful new chimney!Highly recommend!
