Chimney Flashing Repair in Charlotte Hall, MD

We had Shawn come out to inspect the fireplace and chimney at the property we were planning to purchase. He prepared a very professional report and let us know exactly how much the repair was going to cost, which saved us a lot of heartache. Shawn and his crew were very pleasant to deal with and did a great job replacing our chimney liner, damper and cap and even added some accessories at no extra charge. Their attention to detail was truly top notch!

Very professional and honest- they did an amazing job and went above and beyond. We would highly recommend them!

I don’t write reviews often, but after being burned (ha) a few times by shady companies, I had to write this one. We had to fix our chimney in order to sell our home and time was running out before closing. Shawn came and fixed the top of our chimney quickly and professionally. He was able to do the job within our timeframe and budget, and was kind and communicative. We will 100% be hiring him for any future chimney/fireplace needs.

Top Notch Chimney did a fantastic job! I needed my oil flue swept. Shawn came out and swept a much-needed flue and cleaned up the area around the furnace, putting it back into fantastic shape. He left it looking better than it did when he arrived. I appreciate you, Shawn, and shout out to Gloria on the communication. She provided me with quick responses. Will use them from this day on. I highly recommend them for all their services. Thank you!!

Great professionalism, knowledgeable and timely. Pricing is very reasonable and great to work with.

Timely service and great results! Highly recommended.

They came worked on both chimney’s and we were very pleased. I will recommend them to anyone that needs chimney work.

Very helpful & i informative about what is needed for the chimney flue!

Top Notch Chimney Service did amazing work. My wife and I were very happy with the out come of the work they did. Really did a fantastic job and left absolutely no mess. We would recommend them.

Professional job lining our chimney, modifying fireplace, and installing our new woodstove. Shawn and Max were great, their customization skills and customer focus were outstanding.

It’s been a little while since we got our chimney toppers and had them sealed, but I still look at them and think “dang they look good.” We had a wonderful experience with the chimney service and it was an emergency when we called because the chimney was leaking into the house. They came out and completely solved the issue. We are very pleased with what we got, and the price was fair.

Had a great experience with this company from start to finish. Very thorough, professional, and pleasant. Nice to know who I’ll be calling from now on for our pellet stove cleaning and service. Highly recommend!

The whole staff was polite. The crew was clean and quick, never knew they was there. Would i recommend them absolutely.

Top Notch Chimney Services, Shawn and Max, did a great job inspecting and cleaning our wood stove and chimney. They are very professional and knowledgeable offering us suggestions on minimizing the buildup of creosote to keep our stove clean and safe. I feel 1000% more comfortable using the stove since they’ve checked everything out. I highly recommend them and will have them out, again, to make sure our wood stove is safe to use before each cold season. Great work Shawn and Max!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars – Highly Recommend Top Notch Chimney Services! February 5, 2026 Enviro | Meridian Pellet Stove Shawn Lotter is truly a pellet stove expert. He and his helper came out and did an excellent job in under two hours. I originally called them after dealing with SOMD Hearth, whose tech suggested I replace the combustion blower, ignitor, convection blower, auger motor, and control board—about $1,200 with installation. Turns out only one of them was needed. Auger motor had seen better days. Shawn immediately identified the real issues: the stove desperately needed a deep cleaning, and the exhaust fitting needed to be replaced. He took the time to clearly explain everything, showed me the optimal operating procedures, and walked me through the normal behaviors of the stove. As first-time pellet stove owners, this education alone was incredibly valuable. It’s clear the previous owners likely ran the stove for four years without a proper cleaning. We are blown away by the difference between the last burn and this one—it’s like a completely different stove. Honest, knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. We were satisfied with the invoice and he hooked us with a $50 discount! Check out the pictures—results speak for themselves! I can’t recommend Top Notch Chimney Services and Shawn Lotter highly enough.

Shawn showed his skills retrofitting this wood burner in our century old fire place. I highly recommend Top Notch Chimney Services.

My fireplace was not drawing air, my fires would just go out if I tried to switch to heat mode…and even with the door open, chimney vent open, it would go out if I didn’t add Small sticks with split wood. Sean arrived on time, covered all floors, pulled out the “honey come” to show me the main issue, and proceeded to clean everything from the bottom to the top, cleaned up leaving no trace. This is a local (St Mary’s county) gem. Price was fair, service was awesome, they have a customer for life.

Great company! Reasonably priced, great communication and very professional. They now have a customer for life!

I just hired Top Notch Chimney Services to re-line my chimney and fix the broken top. 5 stars isn't enough credit! Shawn and Max went above and beyond! Shawn ran into unexpected obstacles, stayed late into the night and made sure I was able to get my wood stove up and going for the harsh temperatures ahead. Shawn took the time when he was finished to go over everything and show me how to run the wood stove the most efficient way. He answered any questions and gave me his number to call if I ever had any questions. I highly recommend Top Notch! A great local family and business in our SOMD! I know who im calling every time!

Excellent work, and good customer service. I could not be more happy. I had a liner installed, a clean out and crown sealing done. Now my insert and chimney are up to code standards.
