Over The Top Home Maintenance LLC

Several masons told one homeowner the crumbling chimney had to come down. In a 2022 Thumbtack review, that customer wrote that Over The Top saved it instead, in the timeframe promised and at a price they called reasonable. Chimneys are the center of this Pelham company's work — repoints, crowns, caps, liners and the flue repairs that get a fireplace working again — with roofs, gutters and power washing filling out the list. Phil Briffa owns it, and most of the reviews name him. An October 2024 customer had a repoint with a new cap and liner, and described being kept current from estimate to completion. In a March 2024 review, a homeowner had an old ceramic liner swapped out and the fireplace running again; a May 2024 customer had a chase cover and cap replaced. A November 2022 reviewer with bricks coming off the chimney and a damaged flue pipe had it repaired within a week of calling. And in a September 2024 review, a customer with white living-room carpet had a wood stove pulled out and the chimney cleaned, with the room left spotless. The roof side is real too. High winds stripped shingles off a house in March 2025 and the crew was there the next day at what the owner called a reasonable price. An April 2023 customer had a damaged roof replaced in a single day, and an August 2023 homeowner who hired them for a skylight and a flashing leak wrote that they found rotten wood underneath and spent the day on it rather than covering it up. An October 2025 Thumbtack reviewer had a leaking patio roof fixed along with a chimney full of moss and a broken crown. In a November 2023 review, a customer asked about a fireplace damper, was told it worked and didn't need repairing, and wasn't charged for the visit. Not every experience has gone that way. A one-star Google review in April 2026 called the company unprofessional and unreliable and said they'll flake on you at any time, and Thumbtack's 53 ratings run 94% five-star against 6% one-star. Scheduling is the thing to pin down when you book. For a chimney that needs more than a sweep — a repoint, a new liner, a rebuilt crown — or a roof repair that can't wait a week, this is a straightforward call. Get the start date agreed and the estimate in writing before the first visit turns into the job.
