Top Hat Chimney in Mississippi

Top Hat Chimney in Mississippi

Top Hat Chimney has been sweeping, inspecting, and repairing chimneys across Mississippi since 1999. That’s over 29 years of owner Wendell climbing roofs, running brushes, and standing behind his work with a 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped on every job. As part of the Locally family, Top Hat brings Mississippi homeowners something the national outfits never figured out: a phone number that rings to a live person, an address you can drive to, and a price that doesn’t change when the truck pulls up. Whether you’re in a small town off Highway 49 or out in the county past the last stoplight, Wendell treats your chimney like it’s his own, because in Mississippi, word travels and he knows he’ll see you again.

Why Mississippi Homeowners Choose Top Hat Chimney

Wendell started Top Hat Chimney in 1999 because he saw the same thing Ward Selby saw two years earlier: good people getting taken by sweeps who quoted $89 on the phone and handed them a $400 invoice at the door. In Mississippi, where a handshake still means something, that kind of bait-and-switch doesn’t just cost money, it costs trust. Wendell built his business the opposite way. He publishes his name, his address, and his license number where anyone can find them. He answers the phone himself, or a live person does, around the clock. No voicemail box, no call center in another time zone, no “technician” who changes the story once he’s inside your living room.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise is not marketing copy. It’s stamped on every job sheet Wendell fills out. If something isn’t right, one call brings him back. No arguments, no runaround. He lives twenty minutes from the communities he serves, and he knows that running into a customer at the Piggly Wiggly on Saturday is the oldest accountability mechanism there is. His crew shows up in uniform, background-checked, with a real arrival window, and they call if traffic or weather pushes them late. Before a single tool comes off the truck, you get upfront pricing in writing. The number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. Wendell has never understood why anyone would do it differently.

He works with brands he trusts, DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield, because a sweep is only as good as what he puts in your flue. And he keeps standing offers that matter to Mississippi homeowners: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate you want checked, no trip charge inside the county, and 10% off always for seniors and veterans. Ask anyone on your street who’s used him. That’s how Wendell has stayed busy for 29 years.

Backed by the Locally Family

Top Hat Chimney carries the Locally name because Wendell met the same standard Ward Selby wrote down in 1997: local roots, an owner who answers the phone, a published address and license, and pricing you can hold him to. The Locally family doesn’t sell leads or rent brand names. We put our reputation behind owner-operated companies who live where they work and know they’ll see their customers again at the gas station or the ball field. Every Top Hat job in Mississippi is backed by the L.O.C.A.L. values, Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal, and by the Locally promise that the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says is the price you pay. If Wendell ever fell short, he’d hear about it from us first, and from his neighbors every day after. That’s why we stand behind him.
