"Tyler, PJ and Andrew performed the work. They were professional, informative and skilled at their profession. From scheduling the chimney inspection until the work was finished, everybody at Pratt's Chimney Service were interested in customer satisfaction. Start to finish, it was a job well done."

"We had a wonderful experience working with Anthony at A-1 Safety Chimney Service, Inc. Anthony came out to do an initial inspection and was extremely thorough. He spent time explaining the issues to my husband and I, showing us photos he'd taken and answering all of our questions. When Anthony came out to do the repair work, he was efficient and once again took time to discuss the work he had done with us in detail. We were able to build a fire in the fireplace that same night! I would highly recommend Anthony and A-1 to anyone in need of chimney repairs."

"Anthony was spectacular. We had Top Hat out to inspect our three gas fireplaces and our chimneys. After removing the vermiculite and spent ash from the bottom of the fireplaces to clean and inspect, Anthony identified that prior to our purchase of the house the fireplaces had been improperly converted from wood to gas. One fireplace did not have a fire box, one fire box had been improperly installed and the third was made from gerry rigged materials that were not fit for purpose. One of the the black pipe connections was made without pipe dope/sealant. One fireplace had a crimped supply line. One fireplace had a 12" bar for a 24" fireplace which was intended to be a starter for a wood fire, not to be used to run a continous gas fireplace. All three posed CO2 hazards. Anthony photographed everything for us, fully explained the issues and remedied all. He was polite, thorough and efficient and fairly priced. Highly recommend Anthony and Top Hat!"

"Extremely accommodating and fit me in, just in the knick of time for my inspection window. Also Rob is so knowledgeable. He found a hole in the chimney cap. And knows what to do for it. The home inspector did not have this knowledge so Rob saved the day! I can’t wait to have him do the repair."

"Good work, honest dealers, fair price. I had a weirdly hard time even getting an estimate for a chimney cleaning. Some places want you to schedule the cleaning, after which they will perform an inspection and tell you what else needs to be done. Another place told me I needed another $2000 of repairs that I'm pretty sure are unnecessary. Gem came out quickly for an estimate for the cleaning and identified the limited crack repair, new caps, and waterproofing that would keep my chimney cap protected. Gem's technician Grace was great to deal with on the day of the work."

"I needed my chimney rebuilt from the roof line up. I picked a brick that was not available so they chose for me and it was a perfect match to my roof and siding. The team was very polite and they cleaned up everything very nicely. Would recommend them to family & friends."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Look underneath the shingles at the edge of your roof—you should be able to see the ice and water shield in between your roof and the shingles.

Solar panels can protect your roof from hail, as they can withstand hail up to 1 inch in diameter that falls up to 50 mph. Your solar panels may experience damage if the hailstones are bigger and travel faster. Your roof can still suffer hail damage, and it’s essential to look for signs and repair issues right away. Roof damage can lead to leaks and water damage inside your home.

You should consider walking away from a home purchase after an inspection reveals major issues you are unprepared to deal with, such as structural damage, environmental problems, or significant issues with the roof or mechanical systems. These problems can cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix. Before making a decision, it's a good idea to get professional estimates for the repair costs to determine if the home is still worth buying. You should also consider external factors like the state of the housing market and how quickly you need to relocate.

Inspections should be conducted annually, and minor repairs should be made as needed.

If you spot any of the following signs of a leaking chimney crown, call a pro ASAP:

  • Cracking

  • Crumbling

  • Pooling water

  • Spalling, or flaking chimney masonry

  • Efflorescence, or white watermarks
