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.

Approximate cost of services:: $3,000.00

Company Response: Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We always appreciate the feedback.

Steve and his wonderful team have now cleaned my chimney twice. Just when I thought there was no way they could do better than the first time, they came and outdid themselves the second time. They are cost-effective, leave no mess, and are pleasant to deal with. I'll never use another company!

Company Response: Wow...I think that I could use you in our marketing department...LOL. Thank you for the great review !

I hired Top Hat to do some work for me a couple weeks ago, and they did a truly exceptional job. Professional, knowledgeable, and affordable - the best chimney sweep business in the GTA. 10/10!!!

Company Response: Thank you for the kind review EB. I can't take much credit personally as I haven't done any chimney sweeping myself in many years, but I do my best to ensure that our technicians are top notch in all regards. Steve Spring
