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 Repair Over $200
Applies to any chimney repair, fireplace repair, cap or crown work, or liner work that totals more than $200. If Wendell’s crew finds a cracked flue tile, a rusted damper, or a liner that needs attention, this coupon takes $40 off the written estimate on the spot. No fine print beyond the total. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (848) 361-3227.
Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate
If another chimney company has handed you a written estimate and you want a straight read on whether the work is actually necessary, Top Hat Chimney will come out and give you a free second opinion. Wendell will put camera eyes on the flue and tell you in plain English what needs doing now, what can wait, and what doesn’t need doing at all. Nothing gets recommended without footage you can see yourself. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (848) 361-3227.
No Trip Charge Inside the County
If your chimney is in North Bergen or elsewhere in Hudson County, there’s no fee for the visit itself. That includes the inspection, the camera run if one is needed, and the written estimate. You pay for the work, not for the truck showing up. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (848) 361-3227.
10% Off Always for Seniors and Veterans
This one doesn’t expire and doesn’t require a coupon code. Every senior and every veteran gets 10% off any sweep, repair, fireplace service, or liner job, every single time. Wendell has held that line since the day he started the company, and he’s not about to change it now. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (848) 361-3227.
Seasonal Sweep and Inspection Package
Before burning season kicks in, a full cleaning and camera inspection catches first-degree creosote while it’s still a brush job, not a glaze. The package includes sweeping the flue, checking the crown and cap, and running the camera so you see exactly what we see. In North Bergen’s older housing stock, chimneys break in the off-season too, and this is the cheapest way to catch it early. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (848) 361-3227.
How to Redeem
Picking up one of these offers takes about ninety seconds. First, call (848) 361-3227 and tell the person who answers which special you’re calling about. A live person picks up every time, no voicemail box, no call center. Second, book the visit. Wendell and his crew give you a real arrival window, and they call if that window slips. Third, show the offer when the sweep shows up at your door. The discount comes off the invoice before you pay.
Why Top Hat Chimney Runs Specials This Way
Most chimney companies in North Bergen price their work the way a casino prices a buffet, confusing enough that you can’t tell what anything actually costs. That’s not how Top Hat Chimney works. Wendell started this company in 1999 and he runs into you again on Saturday at the grocery store. The pricing is honest because he has to look you in the eye afterward.
The offers above stack where they make sense. A senior gets the 10% courtesy on top of the $40 repair discount. A homeowner with a competing written estimate gets the free second opinion and the no trip charge. You don’t have to choose one coupon and lose the rest. Call and ask, and Wendell will tell you exactly what applies.
What the 90-Day Done Right Promise Means for Your Coupon
Every job Top Hat Chimney completes, discounted or not, carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work isn’t right, one call brings the crew back at no additional cost. That applies to a $189 sweep and a $4,000 liner rebuild the same way. A coupon doesn’t change the guarantee, and Wendell puts his name on the work either way.
Your flue doesn’t care how the fire looks. It cares how it breathes. These offers are built to get North Bergen chimneys breathing properly before the first cold night, without making you gamble on what the final bill will say.
Frequently Asked Questions About Specials and Coupons in North Bergen
A standard chimney cleaning and inspection in North Bergen typically runs from $180 to $300 depending on the height of the flue, the amount of creosote, and whether an animal has moved in since last season. Top Hat Chimney gives you the exact number over the phone before the truck rolls. Seniors and veterans take 10% off that figure every time, and there’s no trip charge inside Hudson County. Call (848) 361-3227 for a straight quote, no pressure.
Sometimes you do, and sometimes you don’t, and the only honest way to know is to look at the inside of the flue with a camera. Top Hat Chimney runs that camera on every inspection and shows you the footage. If Wendell recommends a DuraFlex or HeatShield liner, he’ll show you exactly why on the screen and explain what happens if it waits another season. If the liner has years left in it, he’ll tell you that too and charge you for nothing but the sweep. Bring a competing written estimate and Wendell will give you a free second opinion, no strings. Call (848) 361-3227 to book the camera run.
Once a year, burn or no burn. Chimneys in North Bergen break in the off-season too, and a chimney that sat all summer can hide a cracked crown, a shifted liner, or a squirrel nest you won’t see until the smoke backs up into your living room. The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual inspection and cleaning as needed, and our seasonal package is priced for exactly that rhythm. Call (848) 361-3227 to get on the fall schedule before it fills up.
First-degree creosote is a brush job. Third-degree creosote is a glaze, and a glaze is a chimney fire waiting for a cold night. Skipping a year lets creosote build up inside the flue where you can’t see it, and the first sign can be a rumble that sounds like a freight train in your walls. In older North Bergen homes with original masonry chimneys, water damage and freeze-thaw cycles can widen cracks that go unnoticed until carbon monoxide starts seeping into the house. A sweep costs less than a deductible. Call (848) 361-3227 and Wendell’s crew will get it done before burning season.
