(551) 368-8859Contact Top Hat Chimney - Free Chimney Cleaning Estimate in Passaic
Call (551) 368-8859 for a free chimney cleaning estimate in Passaic. Wendell Pike and his local team answer the phone, listen to what’s going on, and tell you straight whether a sweep is what your flue needs. No hard sell, no pressure, no mystery. If we come out and find the chimney doesn’t need cleaning, we’ll say so and you owe us nothing for the assessment.
What Happens When You Call
Step 1: You call (551) 368-8859. A live coordinator answers, takes your address and asks a few questions about your chimney: when it was last swept, what you burn, anything unusual you’ve noticed. You’ll have a real conversation, not a script.
Step 2: We schedule your assessment. We’ll give you a window that works around your schedule, not ours. If something shifts on our end, we call you before you have to chase us.
Step 3: You get a written estimate. Wendell or one of his local team members walks the chimney, runs a camera where it matters, and puts the findings in plain English. The price you see on the estimate is the price you pay. No add-ons at the door.
Step 4: The work gets done right. If you approve the job, we do it on the spot or book the next available slot. You get photos and a straight answer about what you actually needed versus what can wait.
Why Passaic Homeowners Call Us First
- A real Passaic-area team, not a call center three states away. Wendell Pike lives in the community and puts his name on every job. When you call, you’re talking to someone who knows North Jersey chimneys and the specific creosote patterns that come from our winters.
- Required licensing and insurance, verified. Every pro working under the Top Hat name is required to hold the license and insurance the state of New Jersey requires for chimney work. We don’t ask you to take our word for it; ask and we’ll show you.
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The written estimate is the final word. If the camera shows a third-degree creosote glaze that needs more than a brush, you’ll see the footage yourself before any number changes. Nothing gets recommended without evidence you can watch.
- Ninety-day workmanship guarantee in writing. Top Hat Chimney stands behind every job with a ninety-day written guarantee. One call brings Wendell back. That’s been the promise since 1999, and it hasn’t changed.

Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates
Yes. The assessment and written estimate cost you nothing, whether or not you book the work. If we come out and the chimney doesn’t need cleaning, you pay nothing and we tell you that plainly. Call (551) 368-8859 to schedule yours.
We schedule based on when you’re available and what our local team’s calendar looks like. Call (551) 368-8859 and we’ll give you the next available window over the phone. We don’t promise arrival times we can’t keep, but we do call if anything shifts.
No. The phone is answered 24/7, and weekends or evenings don’t change the price you’ll see on your written estimate. If you need an evening walkthrough because you work days, just say so when you call.
Just your address and a rough sense of when the chimney was last swept, if you know. If you don’t, that’s fine. We’ll handle the rest when we get there, including asking about what you burn and whether you’ve noticed any odd smells or smoke backing up.
We keep it simple: standard payment methods including cash, check, and major cards. Payment happens after the work is done and you’ve seen the results. No payment upfront, ever. Call (551) 368-8859 with any questions about estimates or booking.
