(929) 822-6306Contact Top Hat Chimney - Free Chimney Cleaning Estimate in Astoria
Call Top Hat Chimney at (929) 822-6306 for a free chimney cleaning estimate in Astoria, and you’ll reach a live coordinator who can get you on the schedule the same week. No hard sell, no pressure, just a straight answer about what your flue actually needs. Wendell Pike leads our local team here, and he has built the Astoria branch on a simple idea: tell people the truth about their chimney, show them the camera footage, and let them decide. Call today and you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with by the time we leave.
What Happens When You Call
Step 1: You call (929) 822-6306. A live coordinator answers during our operating hours and asks a few quick questions about your home, your fireplace or stove, and when you last had the chimney swept. We listen more than we talk, and we’ll tell you right away if this sounds like a routine cleaning or something that needs a closer look.
Step 2: We schedule your assessment. We’ll set a time that works for you, and we’ll be there in the window we give you. If anything slips, we call you before you have to call us. That’s the standard Wendell set when he opened this branch, and it hasn’t changed.
Step 3: You get a written estimate. Before any work begins, you’ll see a plain-English written estimate with line items and prices. Nothing gets added at the door. If we recommend something like a liner repair, you get to see the camera footage that backs it up. No camera proof, no recommendation, period.
Step 4: We complete the work. If you approve the estimate, we do the job, clean up after ourselves, and show you what we found. You’ll get a clear explanation of what was done and what to watch for before next season. Then you get a written guarantee on the work, and Wendell’s name is on it.
The whole point is that you know what you’re paying for before you pay a dime. We would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket.
Why Astoria Homeowners Call Us First
- Real local presence in Astoria. We’re not a call center three states away. Our trucks run the streets of Astoria, Long Island City, Woodside and the surrounding neighborhoods every week. When you call, you’re reaching a local branch led by Wendell Pike, a name you can verify and a face you might run into at the hardware store on a Saturday.
- Licensed and insured, required across the board. Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. That’s not a marketing line. It’s a condition of carrying the Top Hat Chimney name, and it has been since 1999.
- Transparent pricing with no surprise fees. The written estimate you approve is the price you pay. We don’t add trip charges, fuel fees or anything else at the door. If we find something unexpected during the assessment, we show it to you on camera and you decide how to proceed. No pressure, no upsell.
- Ninety days in writing on every chimney job. Wendell puts his name on the work, and one call brings him back within ninety days if something isn’t right. That guarantee is stamped on every estimate we hand out in Astoria, and it means what it says.

Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates
Is the estimate really free? Yes. The assessment and written estimate are free, with no obligation. You pay nothing unless you approve the work, and you’ll see the price on paper before you decide.
How quickly can you come to Astoria? We run our schedule across Astoria and the surrounding neighborhoods throughout the week, and our operating hours run Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM, Saturday from 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM, and Sunday from 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM. We’ll get you the earliest slot that fits your schedule. Call (929) 822-6306 and we’ll give you a real answer, not a vague range.
Do you charge extra for weekends or evenings? No. Our weekend hours are part of the normal schedule, not a premium service. The price we quote is the price you pay, whether it’s a Tuesday morning or a Sunday afternoon.
What should I have ready when I call? Just tell us the address, the type of fireplace or stove you have, when you last had it swept, and roughly how often you use it. If you don’t know some of those details, that’s fine. We’ll ask what we need and nothing more.
What payment methods do you accept? We accept standard payment methods, and we’ll confirm the details when you book. You’ll see the full amount on the written estimate before any work starts, so there are no surprises at settlement.
Have a different question? Call (929) 822-6306 and ask. A live coordinator will answer, not a recording, and if they don’t know the answer, they’ll get you to someone who does.
