Over The Top Home Maintenance LLC

Over The Top Home Maintenance is a Pelham, New Hampshire outfit run by Phil Briffa that's built its name on chimney work — repointing, relining, cap and crown repairs, full rebuilds — the kind of specialized masonry and flue work that keeps showing up across five years of reviews on Google, Thumbtack and Angi. The record runs deep and consistent: 25 reviews from 2021 through this year, the overwhelming majority five stars, describing everything from a full chimney reconstruction on three chimneys to a wood-stove removal that left white carpet spotless, to saving a "crumbling chimney" that other masons wanted demolished. Reviewers repeatedly single out Phil by name for being upfront about what actually needs doing — a 2023 review recounts him declining to charge for a damper that turned out not to need repair. Thumbtack, where the company shows 76 completed projects and a Top Pro badge for 2022 and 2023, backs up the pattern with a 4.8-star average across 53 ratings. Chimney work isn't the whole story — reviewers also describe storm-damage roof repairs turned around in a day, a full re-roof on two sheds, a siding job, and gutter installation, so this reads as a company that leans on chimney and masonry expertise but will take on adjacent exterior work too. Worth knowing: a review from April 2026 called the company unprofessional and unreliable and said they'll flake on you at any time — a sharp outlier against an otherwise steady run of praise, and recent enough to be worth asking about directly. For chimney repair, relining, or rebuild work in the Pelham area, this reads as an established, specialist crew with a long paper trail of satisfied customers, just worth confirming current responsiveness given the one recent complaint.
