Licensed NYC Chimney Sweep & Fireplace Contractor

CONSUMER ALERT

Protect Yourself from Scams: Chimney and fireplace scams peak during the fall and winter months. Scammers are increasingly sophisticated, using "look-alike" websites or hijacking business profiles to confuse homeowners. In recent attempts to hijack our reputation, scammers have created fraudulent Google listings using our official name and address but listing unauthorized phone numbers. Manhattan Fireplace & Chimney, Inc. is a licensed NYC company and is NOT affiliated with any other business, website, or assumed name.

Before hiring, watch for these specific tactics:

Paid 5-Star Reviews: Many unscrupulous companies hire "reputation services" to flood their profiles with fake 5-star reviews. True reputation is built on authentic service, not paid scripts. We never pay for reviews, offer incentives for feedback, or use "reputation services."
Competitor Sabotage: It is a common industry tactic for unlicensed operators to target established, licensed companies with fraudulent negative reviews. These attacks are designed to confuse homeowners and steer them toward suspicious businesses that lack proper oversight.
Virtual Office Scams & Bait-and-Switch Pricing: Many unlicensed "pop-up" operators utilize virtual New York City mailboxes to appear local while operating from out-of-state. These entities frequently use "bait-and-switch" pricing—offering low-cost cleanings to gain entry before fabricating expensive, "urgent" repairs. They often vanish once they have your money, leaving homeowners with no recourse.
Brand Impersonation: Fraudsters often mimic trusted names, logos, or websites to deceive homeowners. Verifying a contractor's credentials is the only way to ensure your home’s safety and your own peace of mind.
