Over The Top Chimney Services
158 Front St, Schenectady, NY 12305
We are a fully licensed, family owned and operated company with over five years in the trade. I was personally trained year-round in South Carolina by a master chimney sweep that had over twenty eight years of experience in the business. Don't get burned by your chimney!!! Trust a TRAINED professional, not some fly by night that claims to be a chimney sweep. Did you know that a chimney without a flue cap gets the same amount of rain inside the smoke chamber and smoke shelf area during a rain storm as a five gallon bucket would placed outside without a lid on it? This results in deteroated mortor joints, rusted out dampers, algerins, birds, and odors from mold & mildew. We use only stainless steel and copper chimney caps to fit any budget and every chimney. We use stainless steel because it is maintenance free and last forever. Galvanized chimney caps only last for a few years at the most before they rust leaving unsightly rust stains on your chimney and roof. Also with any chimney re-crown we use a special water repellent that lasts for 10 years FREE. We are now also offering dyrer and dryer vent inspections and cleanings.

Provided by YP.comwe chose Over the Top because of Adam's honesty and knowledge of his business. After looking at the chimney he gave us options for what we thought was a very good price. Now that the chimney is repaired and crown installed it looks amazing! Adam was very professional and did a great job with both the repair work and clean up after it was done. Thank you Adam!

Provided by YP.comI recently hired Adam Hanlon, owner of Over the Top Chimney Service, to repair one of the flues in my chimney and install a new cap. Adam sets very high quality standards for himself and he lives up to those standards. His work is top quality and his prices are very fair. Furthermore, he stands behind his work and will make every effort to ensure that you are a satisfied customer. I will definitely hire Over the Top Chimney Services for any future chimney repair needs.

Provided by YP.comWe had two problems that needed to be addressed. Adam from Over The Top Chimney Services was the only person (in his line of work) that returned our calls. His work was stellar, he was prompt, courteous, absolutely exceptional work at extremely reasonable prices. I recommend him without question.

Provided by YP.comWe needed our chimney repaired before replacing our roof. Adam was very professional, explained every detail of the job, his price was reasonable and he went over and beyond to make sure the job was done prior to the roofers starting their work. Highly recommend!

Provided by YP.comWonderful experience! I had called to have my chimney swept. To my surprise the entire top of my chimney was destroyed and there was a giant hole where water and other things could get in. Adam totally fixed the chimney. Added a beautiful new crown, flues, and did some major repairs to the masonry. In the end, everything was perfect. Adam and T.J. are both very professional, efficient, and honest. I will definitely be doing business with them again and I highly recommend them for all your chimney needs!

Provided by YP.comFirst review I've ever taken the time to write. I could not have been more satisfied with the work of Over the Top Chimney Services. Job just completed, beautifully. Family of chimney dwelling raccoons humanely evicted, chimneys cleaned & major repairs done to the brick masonry. In each segment of the project, they exceeded my expectations. I certainly expected the much needed chimney repair to be done well -- I was pleasantly surprised to see the finished product is a 'thing of beauty'! Thanks to Adam & his dad --- an absolute pleasure to do business with.

Provided by YP.comI only called this team based on the internet reviews..Great Call on my part..
Adam Hanlon is efficient, industrious and a wonderful Human being!! He replied immediately after I had called to say that I had had a fire in my woodstove chimney pipe. Not only did he perform a very complete service, he also made my stove and lining area look brand new. Adam told me that he would educate me as to the safety and most efficient way to run my stove.
I WILL call him in February to follow up and he will be at my home every single year.
I give this man the top reference that anyone could have. He works with his Dad, as well, and that is so nice to see. Respectful, educated and nice men..Thank you Adam and TJ.. So nice to meet you!!

Provided by YP.comWe were notified recently that we had sustained some serious water damage to the chimney and that the mortar was basically falling out from between the bricks. Over the Top was one of a few companies' we approached to get an idea of how we should fix the problem. From the start of the project the owner (Adam) was just great to work with; he took our time constraints into consideration when working with us and just made the whole process so easy. He was willing to walk us through the process and made everything very easy to understand. We decided to work with Adam because his price was right and he was the only one to offer us an approach that we agreed with. We were also really impressed with the fact that he would be following up with us to be sure that everything had set the way it was suppose to. He was very through in his job and takes a so much pride in his work that you can't help but get caught up in his enthusiasm. He finished the job on time and cleaned up after his work. The end results are really impressive. We can't say enough good things about working with them, we would gladly recommend him for any chimney you might have.

Provided by YP.comExcellent business.
The Owner goes way out of his way to make sure that the job is done correctly and with the care required. Fast call-backs in emergencies, and a willingness to fit one into a full day when it's truly needed.
Professional, and well priced. I'll recommend them without questions.

Provided by YP.comAs I sit here in front of our perfectly installed fireplace wood insert, I felt compelled to praise Over the Top Chimney Services! Adam named his company perfectly! The team is REALLY over-the-top in service and professionalism. What started out as a chimney sweep (done wonderfully and thoroughly)has become an on-going professional relationship! We asked questions about a fireplace insert and Adam made suggestions and distributor recommendations. The end result is the perfect installation of our new fireplace insert! Adam and company are quite the perfectionists! This is great, given the nature of their business. Several times during the installation, Adam was not satisfied with the progress. He meticulously made adjustments and now it is perfect! He also did the research on hard wood distributors. The condition of our chimney (before the cleaning) was very poor (due to the quality of the wood). What we thought was dry wood, was not and the result was creosote buildup. Over the Top worked very hard to eliminate the creosote buildup. He even purchased specific tools to insure that the condition of the fireplace was in top shape before they began the installation of the fireplace insert (with no charge to us!).
Adam had checked in with us several since the insert was installed. It is very apparent that Over the Top Chimney Services aims to please and KEEP its customers.
We would recommend OVER THE TOP to anyone who needs chimney services. As a matter of fact, we have recommended their team to everyone we know who has a fireplace!

Provided by YP.comover these past few colder mountain nights, i got a chance to fire up the new wood stove that these guys installed for me over the summer. i can't believe the difference. after a few pieces of wood and roughly 30 min, the house goes from 59 degrees up to 70-75 degrees! saves a bunch $$ on the oil bill. :-) thanks guys! great job!
