    This company used to be good. But not anymore, if you need a professional to check the inside of…read moreyou're stack this ISN'T the company for you, I don't know where or who trains their people but they don't do a good job. If you need you're crown repaired once again don't call these people. They told me everything was fine, until I had to check my roof for hail damage and saw a huge issue with my crown. I had to find another company to fix it since I lost all trust in midtown.​

    Called them up to do the chimney and dryer vent. Specifically told the scheduler dude we needed an…read moreexternal dryer vent. Guy came, no dryer vent. He said he'd "note it down". Didn't hear anything for a week, so I e-mailed them about it. Didn't hear anything for a week, so I called them. They said they'd call me back the next day. It's been several days, nothing. Don't use this company if you want any kind of customer service. Update - After being hassled by me for a couple weeks, they finally came out and put a dryer vent thing on. However, what they did is nail a screen onto it. Obviously over the past two months this has trapped tons of lint (I had no idea this was what they did - I didn't know I needed to babysit them while they did their work) and caused us to need our dryer vents cleaned (and the external cap replaced) AGAIN. Obviously we did not contact Midtown Chimney Sweeps for this, because we want it done right this time. We called up Duct Medic, and when I told them we'd need a new external dryer vent cap, they told me it would be a fancy magnetic flapper that opens when the dryer is going and closes when it's not. Sounds fantastic, and infinitely better than NAILING A SCREEN ONTO MY HOUSE. If you want service, go with Duct Medic. Midtown doesn't care, obviously.

    This man is taking advantage of everyone . . He is over charging for services , for cleaning $400,…read moreshould be 150-200 for chimney cleaning, to replace anything on top in way of the crown or cap, he over charges by thousands. . Beware of his BS, he figures the 42 yrs he has been doing this gives him the right to over charge by thousands. . Do not use his services

    As a Nebraska transplant, I don't think I will ever get used to the cold winters. Coming from the…read moreSouth, anything below 70 is chilly. Well, I was pretty stoked about the wood-burning stove in our house. I decided to schedule a maintenance/chimney sweep for the stove, and had heard good things about Top Hat. It takes a little bit of patience to make initial contact with Top Hat. I didn't use their online tool for contact but rather called Steven and left a voicemail. It took him a few days to get back to me, which is understandable for a small business serving such a big area. Since I didn't use the online contact tool, I don't know if they would be quicker or not. Additionally, I'm sure this time of year is exceptionally busy with people preparing for winter. Scheduling an appointment for an inspection was incredibly easy. Top Hat was able to provide a 1-hour time slot for when they would arrive. Such a minimal time limit is exceptionally rare for any kind of contract/maintenance/repair work. Heck, even the cable and internet companies require about 4 hours of availability. Steven and his assistant were very professional, and worked quickly. Steven answered all of my questions, even though I know some of them were ignorant concerning fireplaces/stoves. Even though our wood stove is not up to code, I feel confident that Top Hat would do a fantastic job renovating the area (check their website for photos). He even provided a loose estimate of what kind of repairs we would need. Price for service was exactly as stated on the phone, and if/when we decide to make changes to our wood stove, we will be contacting Top Hat.

    This business is extremely unethical and unprofessional. I do not recommend this business to…read moreanyone. They scam you out of money and then block your calls and even change their numbers to avoid you. I called them for a quote to repair my chimney. Not once did they mention a fee for coming out to take a look when I was setting up the appointment. Once they arrived, the owner told me he needed to clean the fireplace to get a good look. Once again, no fee was mentioned for doing this. After all was said and done, he informs me that I owe him $145 for service fees and cleaning!! To top that off, he didn't even give me a quote for the work I was needing done because he didn't have his catalogs in yet. Something he should've mentioned when I set up the appointment! Not that I would ever give this guy my business, but till this day, (a month after he came out) he has yet to send me the quote he said he would mail us. We gave this guy $145 for absolutely nothing other than for having him clean a chimney that isn't even functional. After calling him about all this and voicing our concerns, he said he would refund half our money back. After a week of not receiving the refund in the mail, we started calling and leaving messages that weren't being returned. After a week of calling, they blocked our phones altogether. It wasn't until we contacted the BBB that the owner, Mike Render, finally sent us a check although it wasn't even for the amount that he owed us. Stay away from this business and its owner, they are nothing but scam artists.

    The owners name is mike. Just opened the business recently. He is a mason who can do it all. He is…read morecurrently essentially redoing our house. Started off by using him to check our chimneys, from there he became our contractor and he's been great since. We had him replace our windows, repaint the outside of our house, add an egress window in our basement and seal off our basement from water (had leakage when we moved in, no leakage since he sealed it up). He did a great job on everything, and has been honest and very open to communication from the start. Right now he's redoing our basement. Put in the walls and painted them (sturdy and they look great), built our movie theatre and made our fire place mantle. Currently he's doing our ceiling and floor. We expect it to be excellent, just like the rest of his work.
