Appointment Tips:
Spring and Summer are the best times for non-emergency chimney repair and preventive maintenance. 

From October through January, The Mad Hatter appointment calendar is usually booked up to one month in advance - making an "off-peak" appointment is your best option.

Before Your Appointment:
 24 hours before your appointment, remember to:
bullet Stop using your fireplace, woodstove, or gas stove. For safety's sake, we need to work with an appliance that is completely cool. As a courtesy, please remove all ash from the firebox.
The Day of Your Appointment, remember to:
bullet Remove fragile or precious items from the area near the fireplace. We need about 5 to 6 ft around the fireplace to be clear to get our equipment in place. 
bullet Watch us work, if you'd like. Customers learn a great deal about chimney safety from watching us work, so we encourage it.
