Services
Chimney Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes dangerous creosote buildup that causes house fires. Our technicians use specialized tools to clean flues thoroughly, improving airflow and fireplace efficiency. Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs while ensuring safe operation during heating seasons.
Prefab Installation
We install prefabricated stainless steel chimney systems that provide safe, efficient ventilation for wood stoves and furnaces. These modern systems resist corrosion, improve heat retention, and add home value with lifetime warranties on all components and workmanship.
Stainless Steel Relining
Our stainless steel relining service replaces damaged chimney liners to restore proper ventilation. This critical safety upgrade prevents carbon monoxide leaks and improves fireplace performance while meeting current building code requirements for modern heating systems.
Masonry Repair
We repair chimney masonry damage caused by weather exposure and age. Our craftsmen replace cracked bricks, rebuild deteriorated crowns, and apply waterproofing treatments to extend chimney lifespan while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Chimney Cap Installation
Installing chimney caps prevents water intrusion, animal entry, and debris accumulation. Our durable stainless steel caps feature mesh screening that maintains proper draft while protecting chimney interiors from moisture damage and blockages.

Mad Hatter is the best chimney clean I ever met. Highly reliable and very knowledgeable, Flynn and crew are my go to people not only in all things chimney but also masonry repeated issues, where they helped to stop severe waterleeks.

We used Mad Hatter when Michael O'Conner ran the business, and later when his son Flynn took over. For the two homes we owned in the Hudson valley, we had yearly chimney cleaning, plus repairs and maintenance of our wood stoves. Over all those 24 years, Mad Hatter was a pleasure to do business with. Appointments were simple, they always showed up on time, and the work was done in a professional manner. We burned a lot of wood over those years without a problem. And we appreciated the off-season specials that they ran every year. Based on my experience, I can enhusiastically recommend this

Let me start by saying I don't know why the other reviewer had problems, it sounds to me that he has another agenda in mind. Sounds like he wants to promote J&P Chimney and bring down Mad Hatter. I called Mad Hatter on a Saturday left my number and what I wanted. They called me back the next Monday 2 days later. They even called my cell after not reaching me at home as I asked them to do.
They came 3 days later and gave me an estimate to replace my furnace pipe. I took a couple of weeks to get other estimates, one of which was from J&P, they were much more expensive. I then called
