"Always excuses. Five Sons/Justin Calemmo came recommended by Amanda’s Fireplaces, where I bought the stove. But if I’d been able to find another contractor who knew the model stove and wasn’t seriously overpriced like Heat a Survival, I would have used someone else. He tried to make it sound like I was a priority but there was always something. I’d also requested multiple times paperwork required for applying for a home heating appliance from the Department of Buildings but mostly he didn’t react and once he claimed he was away and would send it when he returned. I became so desperate for the installation that I allowed it to go ahead without a permit, reassured by Amanda’s and by Justin that I would be provided with the proof of insurance required. On the day of the installation he didn’t have the papers with him and despite having repeatedly requested since the installation, he has failed to provide me with them. Now I have an expensive appliance installed but shouldn’t use because it needs to have all its original stickers, etc on it for the inspection, and they'll burn off if I use the stove I don't know if the instsllation is up to snuff because I cannot get it inspected. My intrained eye can see that he is not an excellent mason as there are many places on the chimney where the repointing wasn't done, cracked brick, and a spot where I can put my finger completely through."

FAQs for chimney sweeping projects in New York, NY
While it’s possible to sweep your own chimney, it’s usually not a good idea for two reasons. First, inexperienced DIYers are more likely to miss areas of the chimney, which still leaves the risk of house fire due to the remaining residue. Second, chimney sweeping seems like a simple process, but it’s highly dangerous. Soot and creosote are both carcinogenic and can cause breathing issues and lung damage. If you don’t take the same safety precautions that professionals do, you could be putting yourself at risk of serious bodily harm.
You should plan to ask your chimney sweeper questions about the cleaning process they intend to use, the project timeline, and more to get a sense of which professional is right for the job:
What is your process for cleaning chimneys?
How long will the process take?
Will you protect my floors from soot and debris?
Will you do a chimney inspection, too?
Do you have certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or the National Fire Institute (NFI)?
Will you need access to my roof?
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
In some cases, you don’t need to do anything to prepare for chimney sweeping, but professionals always appreciate leaving the area clean and easy to access. As such, it’s a good idea to move fireplace accessories like screens and fire tending tools out of the way, and lay down tarps of drop cloths around your fireplace opening to help keep your floors clean. Laying down a plastic sheet under those cloths or tarps is a good idea if your fireplace is surrounded by carpeting, just to add extra protection. Finally, secure any pets or children away from the work area.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
