(571) 624-2385Contact Top Hat Chimney - Free Chimney Cleaning Estimate in Fairfax
Call Top Hat Chimney at (571) 624-2385 for a free chimney cleaning estimate in Fairfax. You’ll reach a live coordinator who connects you with our local team, and we’ll schedule a time that works around your week, not ours. No hard sell, no pressure, and the estimate is in writing before any work begins. Wendell Pike still answers the phone himself when he’s not on a roof.
What Happens When You Call
Step 1: You call (571) 624-2385. A live person answers during business hours, not a recording. You’ll tell us your address in Fairfax or a nearby town, and we’ll ask a few quick questions about your chimney, how often you burn, and what you’ve noticed.
Step 2: We schedule your assessment. We work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM on weekends. You pick the window, and we call if anything slips. No four-hour “sometime between” games.
Step 3: You get a written estimate. We inspect the flue, run the camera, and show you the footage. Then you get a plain-English verdict and a flat price in writing before anything is booked. If it doesn’t need sweeping, we’ll tell you that too, and there’s no charge for the visit.
Step 4: We do the work, then you see the proof. After a sweep, we run the camera again and show you the before and after. You pay when the job is done and you’ve seen what we saw.
Why Fairfax Homeowners Call Us First
- We’re right here in Fairfax County. Top Hat Chimney has served Fairfax and the surrounding towns since 1999, and Wendell Pike puts his name on every job. He lives twenty minutes away, and he’ll run into you at the hardware store, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
- Licensed and insured, with the paperwork to prove it. Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We’re happy to show credentials before we set foot on your property.
- Flat pricing in writing, no surprises. The price we quote is the price you pay. No bait-and-switch, no “found a problem” upsell after the fact. If the camera shows a liner issue, you’ll see it yourself and decide from there.
- Ninety days in writing on every chimney job. Wendell Pike publishes his name, his address and his license number, and answers his own phone. If something isn’t right within ninety days, one call brings him back.

Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates
Yes. The inspection and written estimate for a chimney cleaning in Fairfax cost you nothing. We come out, look at your flue, run the camera, and give you a written price. If you decide not to book, that’s fine, and you owe nothing.
Most Fairfax appointments are scheduled within a few days, depending on the season. Fall is our busiest stretch, so call earlier than you think you need to. We work every day of the week and well into the evening, which helps us get to you sooner. Call (571) 624-2385 for the next available opening.
No. The quote you get is the quote you pay, regardless of whether we come on a Saturday or a Tuesday evening. Our hours run 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM on weekends, and we don’t tack on a convenience fee for using them.
Just your address and a rough idea of how often you use your fireplace or stove. If you’ve had the chimney swept before, it helps to know when and whether you remember the sweep mentioning anything unusual. None of that is required for the estimate, but it helps us come prepared.
We accept the usual methods: cash, check and all major credit cards. Payment is due when the job is finished and you’ve seen the after-camera footage. No deposits, no prepayment. Call (571) 624-2385 and we’ll walk you through booking.
