Did you know the top hat became the symbol of chimney sweeps centuries ago?

When our founder, Doug, started out, he wore a real tuxedo and top hat to every job. Eventually, the blazing Texas heat caught up, and he swapped the heavy coat for a tuxedo t-shirt!

Today, we still bring that same dedication to every chimney and dryer vent we work on. Experience the 'Best in Central Texas' service for yourself—call or text 254-477-6535 today!

Buying a new home? Had a recent chimney fire or storm damage? Or maybe you’re changing fuel types? A standard "look-over" isn't enough. You need an NFPA 211 Level 2 Inspection.

At Ables Top Hat, we don't just peek up the flue with a flashlight. We use specialized video camera technology to inspect the internal joints and surfaces that are otherwise invisible.

Why choose a Level 2 Inspection?

Camera Technology: We run a high-resolution camera through the entire flue to find hidden cracks, gaps, or structural issues.

Full Access: We inspect accessible areas of the attic, crawlspace, and exterior to ensure everything is up to code.

Peace of Mind: Essential for real estate transfers or after any "event" (like a chimney fire or earthquake) to ensure your home is truly safe.

Don't guess when it comes to fire safety—know the facts about your chimney’s health.

Even when it’s 100°F outside in Central Texas, you can still enjoy the cozy glow of a fire! ☀️🔥

If you’re looking for that perfect evening ambiance without the extra heat, an electric fireplace is the way to go. Most modern units allow you to run the flame effects independently from the heating element, making them a year-round mood booster.

Why go electric this summer?
✨ Zero Heat: Enjoy the "flicker" while keeping your AC bill down.
✨ Modern Style: Sleek designs that fit any room (no chimney required!).
✨ Safety: No real flames or smoke—perfect for homes with kids and pets.

Whether you need a new installation or a check-up on your current setup, Ables Top Hat is here to help you find the perfect summer vibe.

We see this all the time in Central Texas! You get a new roof, and the roofer—with the best intentions—installs a screen over your dryer vent to keep out birds or squirrels.

The problem? It’s a major fire hazard. ⚠️

While screens are great for attic vents, they are strictly forbidden on dryer vents.

Here’s why: Instant Clog: Dryer lint is sticky and thick. It catches on the screen immediately, creating a "lint wall" that seals your vent shut.

Fire Risk: Lint is highly flammable. When it’s trapped right against your hot roof, it only takes one spark to turn a simple chore into a house fire.

Dryer Damage: With nowhere for the hot air to go, your dryer overheats. This burns out heating elements and can double (or triple!) your drying time. If your clothes are taking forever to dry or your laundry room feels like a sauna, you might have a hidden screen causing a massive blockage.

How Ables Top Hat can help:
✅ We’ll clear out the blockage and remove those dangerous screens.
✅ We install dryer-specific vent caps that keep critters out with a damper door—allowing lint to escape freely while keeping pests where they belong (outside!).

Don't let a "simple" roof upgrade put your home at risk.
