(848) 331-2638Contact Top Hat Chimney - Free Chimney Cleaning Estimate in Newark
Call Top Hat Chimney at (848) 331-2638 for a free chimney cleaning estimate in Newark. You’ll reach a live coordinator who will ask a few quick questions about your fireplace and schedule a time for us to come out. No pressure, no scripted pitch, no charge for the assessment. If you’ve been sitting on this, now is the time to get it handled before burn season.
What Happens When You Call
Step 1: You call (848) 331-2638. A live coordinator answers and asks the basics: what kind of fireplace or stove you have, when it was last swept, and whether you’ve noticed anything odd like smoke backing up or a strange smell. That conversation usually takes five minutes.
Step 2: We schedule your assessment. We find a time that works for you and give you a clear arrival window. Wendell Pike and the local team work Newark and the surrounding towns, so scheduling is straightforward and you won’t wait long.
Step 3: We inspect and hand you a written estimate. We run a camera up the flue so you can see exactly what we see. Then we explain what needs doing, what can wait, and put the price in writing before any work starts. If it doesn’t need a sweep, we’ll tell you that plainly and head out.
Step 4: We do the work and leave it clean. You approve the estimate, we sweep and inspect, then we show you the after-footage so you can compare. No surprise charges, no upsell, no mess left behind. The whole thing is usually done the same visit.
Why Newark Homeowners Call Us First
- Local team, local accountability. Wendell Pike runs this branch and puts his name on the work. You’ll see the same faces year after year, not a rotating crew from somewhere else.
- Required licenses and insurance, no exceptions. Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We’re glad to show you our credentials when we arrive.
- Written estimate before any work begins. You’ll know the price before we start, and that price doesn’t change mid-job. If the camera shows the flue is in fine shape, we tell you that and you pay nothing.
- Ninety days in writing on every chimney job. If something isn’t right after we leave, one call brings us back. Wendell publishes his name, his address, and his license number because he stands behind the work.
