Black Hat Chimney

After getting an inspection, a rival company wanted $600 to conduct a "thorough inspection". I called Black Hat Chimney in Christiana; they showed up on time. did great work, recommended some ways to reduce my costs, and were friendly to my wife. The exterior chimney looks like new with excellent mortar work. We will definitely use them again. Could not be happier.

Black Hat is great! We called them out to clean and inspect the fireplace and they found issues on the roof that were completely unrelated and informed us of them. Our fireplace also needed some work done and Black Hat’s rates were very reasonable. We had a lot of other house projects to do so we selected just the most necessary repairs and asked if we could postpone the rest and they worked with us to piecemeal the work together. Around a year later we were ready to get the remaining work done and they honored the original price even though a year had gone by! Highly recommend them!

Highly recommend Black Hat chimney services! We have a wood burning fireplace that really had some issues and started smelling very strong. We had one company come out for a cleaning and inspection. They were very nice but quoted an exorbitant price to fix the fireplace and chimney. We had almost decided to put in gas logs and forego our wood burning fires (which we loved) to reduce the price of repair. We got another estimate and inspection from Black Hat. They were very punctual, professional and friendly. They were able to do the complete work and restore our wood burning fireplace -- and charged 1/3 of what the other company quoted...

They squeezed me in before the bad weather ahead, they cleaned all the gross stuff out of the chimney and one of the men that came out even showed me how to set up the wood and starter to keep my family safe and warm if the power goes out. we have a child with serious health issues and being able to keep him warm in emergencies is a big deal. very thankful for this company!

Black Hat was great! I had received a nightmare inspection report along with an almost $10k estimate to install a chimney liner in my chimney. Black Hat came out and performed an inspection and told me the my chimney was actually in good shape but did need some repair work. Their estimate was less than 1/4 of the other estimate. I did not need all of the work that the other company said I did. I appreciate their honesty and willingness to do repair work instead of just trying to install a chimney liner. Great folks to work with!!!!
