      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      On 10 Sept. 2021 we hired Top Hat Chimney Sweep and Repair because we had spalding bricks on two chimneys (1 large and 1 small) that needed to be fixed per our insurance company. The repairs were completed on 21 Sept. 2021 and we paid $3671.80. Within a few weeks their work was cracking and pieces were falling off of the chimney. We had our neighbor who is a home inspector climb up and inspect. He informed us that the work was cracking and he took pictures. I had tried contacting Top Hat several times but we had to leave messages and calls were never returned. Once they actually did answer a call, which I am sure was by accident, I let them know what was happening and they said they would call me back. They never called back. I then repeatedly tried to call but there was never an answer or a returned call. We are now getting estimates to have our chimney rebuilt as there are more and more pieces falling off and every contractor has informed us what a terrible repair job this was. The last contractor, **** from RT General Construction **************/************** a BBB member, stated he would give you a detailed description of what the chimney looks like if you need that. We are seeking to be refunded the $3671.80 as we now have to pay to have the chimney rebuilt.

      Top Hat should be out of business. They gave us a proposal/estimate, never showed to the appointment several weeks out, wouldn't return over a dozen of texts/phone calls/voice messages, and showed zero common courtesy or integrity. I have the proposal (signed & dated), pictures, copies of texts messages, and phone records to prove it. If we caught them picking up the phone even after "never" returning our calls, they said they would check, and call back but they never called back, and never did what they said they would do, throughout. What a joke this company is. We called a BBB ****************** and got the job done quickly and professionally. Save yourself the wasted time of dealing with Top Hat and call an honest company that shows people respect, ****************************
