Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Current Offers
$40 Off Any Chimney Repair Over $200
A cracked cap, a spalling brick, a damper that won’t close. If the repair quote comes in over $200, you save $40 before we even start. This stacks with the senior and veteran discount too. Mention it when you call.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (757) 384-4719.
Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate
If another chimney company gave you a written estimate for a liner, rebuild, or repair, bring it to us. Wendell will walk through it with you, camera footage in hand, and tell you what’s actually necessary and what isn’t. No pressure, no obligation. If the work makes sense, we’ll do it right and back it with the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (757) 384-4719.

How to Redeem
Three steps, no fine print gymnastics.
1. Call (757) 384-4719. A live person answers, day or night. Tell them which offer you’re interested in.
2. Book your visit. We’ll give you a real arrival window and a background-checked, uniformed technician will show up when we say.
3. Present the offer at time of service. The discount comes off the invoice before you pay. That’s it.
Why We Run Specials This Way
Wendell started Top Hat Chimney in 1999 with a pretty simple idea: do the job right, charge a fair price, and answer the phone. The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a marketing gimmick. It’s stamped on every job because Wendell puts his name on the work and he still runs into you at the grocery store. If something’s not right, one call brings him back at no charge.
We don’t rotate through “spring specials” and “holiday blowouts” that expire when it’s convenient. The offers above are the real ones. $40 off repairs, a free second opinion, no trip charge, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
When Should You Use These Offers?
The honest answer is before burning season starts. Once a year, burn or no burn. Chimneys break in the off-season too, and the best time to fix a problem is before the first fire of the year. If you’re in Newport News and you haven’t had your flue inspected in a while, the free second opinion offer is the smartest thing on this page. Bring us another company’s written estimate and we’ll give you a straight read on it.
What Actually Happens When You Call
Here’s the thing about chimney work: you can’t see what’s happening inside your flue, and that makes it easy for a less honest company to sell you work you don’t need. That’s not how we operate. Every single job includes camera inspection and a photo report. You’ll see what we see, and Wendell will explain it in plain English. If the liner is fine, we’ll say so. If it’s not, we’ll show you the footage.
Your flue doesn’t care how the fire looks. It cares how it breathes. First-degree creosote is a brush job. Third-degree is a glaze. Catch it early and you save money. Wait too long and you’re looking at a liner replacement that could have been avoided with a simple sweep.
