I also would not count on a company that you have a contract with to really do due diligence, even though they are being paid to do so.

You can trust him to tell it like it is and do the right thing.

Mason and Phyllis are very nice people, but they don't seem to be at all knowledgeable about…read morechimney maintenance and sealing. I had them out around 5 or so years ago to seal the crown of my chimney. Not knowing anything about it at the time of course, and based on their reviews, I fully trusted them as to what material should be applied for that purpose. Mason applied several tubes of Alex Plus caulk to the chimney crown. I was a little surprised they would use caulk, but then they were the "experts" right? They said this stuff will last 40 years, no problem! Your chimney is now fully sealed and protected! A few days ago I went up to inspect the chimney crown. Not an ounce of that caulk remains. Nada. Nothing. It's all gone. We're right back down to naked concrete again. And who knows how long it's been like that. So I called the Alex Plus manufacturer, and they said you should NEVER use Alex Plus for that purpose! Spoke to a chimney sweep, who said you should only use elastomeric sealants specifically made for chimney crowns. He was surprised any 'professional' would do something like that. Obviously, they didn't know what they were doing. Or what kind of sealant really should have been used. But they were nice. So $300 down the drain. Don't make the same mistake I made. Find somebody else.

We've had Adam Hanlon on speed-dial for the last 7 years... when you find a pro in the field you…read moreneed, you keep that pro with you at all times! Adam is a master of many trades and chimney service is at the top. He views each chimney as one of his children (and remembers each just as fondly) and treats his customers like family. We initially called Adam 7 years ago for a chimney leak pouring water into our dry basement during hard rain. He explained the problem clearly and gave options. We never had another leak! This time we called Adam to clean and inspect our chimney as we are in the process of selling our home. He and his wife (Sarah is fabulous) came over on a Sunday... a 90 degree, sunny, Sunday. He checked out the chimney and found it didn't need cleaning. He could have EASILY done and charged that cleaning, but was honest about its need (or, rather, its lack of need), keeping our costs down. He found some things needing attention and addressed them immediately. He didn't even upcharge for coming on a weekend! Adam spends time, and communicates frequently, with his customers. He educates his customers so that we know how to maintain his quality work, and so that we can spot a problem quickly, if one should arise. Adam is the "real deal." He isn't trying to sell you a dream and isn't funding a vacation home in the tropics with his prices. More importantly, he doesn't use scare tactics to over-sell a job (like many larger businesses do)! And, maybe even more important than that, he treats all jobs - big and small - like a priority. The bottom line is, when you find a business like Over the Top Chimney Service, and an experienced and genuine businessman like Adam Hanlon, you keep him in your contacts list and refer him to your friends and loved ones. You just do! We'd give him 10 stars if we could...
