(757) 384-4719Contact Top Hat Chimney - Free Chimney Cleaning Estimate in Newport News
Call Top Hat Chimney at (757) 384-4719 for a free chimney cleaning estimate in Newport News. When you call, a live coordinator answers and connects you with our local team, led by Wendell Pike. No hard sell, no pressure, just an honest assessment of what your chimney needs and a written estimate before any work begins. We book seven days a week, including evenings, so you won’t wait long to get us to your door.
What Happens When You Call
We keep the booking process simple because we know you’ve probably dealt with companies that made it complicated. Here’s exactly what happens when you reach out to Top Hat Chimney.
Step 1: You call (757) 384-4719. A live coordinator picks up, takes your name, address and a few details about your fireplace or stove. No recorded menus, no “press 2 for service.” You’ll get a real person who can answer basic questions on the spot.
Step 2: We schedule your assessment. We’ll find a day and time that works for you, including weekends. We serve Newport News and the surrounding area regularly, so we can usually get to you within a few days. You’ll get a clear arrival window, and we call if anything slips.
Step 3: You get a written estimate. We inspect the flue, run the camera, and show you what we see. Then you get a written estimate with a flat price before we touch anything. If your chimney doesn’t need sweeping, Wendell will tell you that plainly and charge you nothing for the visit.
Step 4: We complete the work. If you approve the estimate, we do the job, clean up thoroughly, and walk you through what we found. Every chimney job carries our ninety-day written guarantee. One call brings us back if anything isn’t right.
Why Newport News Homeowners Call Us First
- We’re actually local. Top Hat Chimney has an address in this county, not a call center three states away. Wendell Pike lives twenty minutes from most Newport News neighborhoods, and he’s the one whose name goes on the work.
- Licensed and insured, as required. Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We don’t cut corners on credentials, and we’re glad to show you our documentation when we arrive.
- Transparent pricing, no bait and switch. The price we quote on the phone is the same price you’ll see on your written estimate. No hidden fees, no surprise upcharges after we look at the flue. If we find something that needs attention, you’ll see it on camera before we discuss cost.
- Ninety-day workmanship guarantee, in writing. Every chimney job we do is backed by a written guarantee. If something isn’t right, one call brings us back. Wendell publishes his name and stands behind the work, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is.

Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates
Yes. We don’t charge for assessing your chimney, running the camera, or writing up an estimate. If we come out and find your flue doesn’t need sweeping yet, Wendell will tell you that and there’s no charge for the visit. Call (757) 384-4719 and we’ll get you on the schedule.

The basics help: your address, the type of fireplace or stove you have, when it was last serviced if you know, and anything unusual you’ve noticed, like smoke backing up or a strange smell. Don’t worry if you’re not sure about some of it. We’ll sort it out when we arrive, and the estimate is free either way. Call (757) 384-4719 and we’ll take it from there.
We take all standard forms of payment including cash, check and major credit cards. Payment is due when the work is complete, and you’ll have your written estimate in hand before you commit to anything. Call (757) 384-4719 for details or to book your free assessment.
