We just bought a home with a fireplace. My wife and I had never operated a fireplace and were…read morehoping we could use it for extra heat in the winter. Mike was able to stop by and give us the run down on the condition and what's possible. thankfully The liner is in good shape and we can proceed with getting an insert installed. Mike was thorough in his inspection of the fireplace and we can't wait for the next steps to get the new insert installed for this coming winter. 10/10 would recommend going through Taconic Fireplace for your fireplace needs, they're great to work with.

I initially had a positive experience with Taconic Fireplace based on a friend's recommendation…read more The installation and communication were satisfactory, and they addressed my few concerns during the process. Being in the construction field, I had a few concerns with the install and they assured me not to worry. they made sure that I understood that if anything happened, they would return to rectify the issue. When I reached out about a leak less than a year later, they mentioned fixing it but... with a 4-month delay and offered that I could hire a local roofer if I would like. I asked if they could cover the cost of a local roofer, given it was their work. Unfortunately, the response was a firm refusal, citing the minimal nature of the leak and its unusual occurrence. Their email to me: "No I will not cover the cost of a roofer. The leak is minimal and more strange it hasn't started since the beginning. Is this happening every so often or only on very windy and heavy rains or because snow is sitting up there." Should leaks only happen on rare occasions during specific weather conditions after a woodstove is installed? In my opinion, any leak for any reason, needs to be dealt with immediately. I had anticipated better service, especially from a recommended and seemingly kind company. It appears their commitment to quality diminished after the payment was made. I hope they address these concerns and prove themselves as a reputable company. I will update this review accordingly. Update: I received the following message from Michael the day after posting my review: "I appreciate the 1-star review. Why don't you call me and talk to me like a man before going on the internet and crying to everyone. 845-661-5148." Grateful for this last message, as it gives me further insight into the nature of the person/company I was dealing with.

It is unfortunate that I have to rate this local business so low but my experience after my…read morepurchase has been beyond unprofessional. The installer they recommended and use (3rd party Pro Gas) never gave us a quote for the install, never booked an appt and would just randomly show up at our house expecting the fireplace to be ready for install. Once my GC got the fireplace framed their installer randomly showed up to finish whatever work he needed to do without sending me a quote. When he went to do that work, he didn't tell anyone he would be there so our GC wasn't onsite and I got a rude call from a male employee at Yankee Doodle expecting me to know specific height details as if I were a GC. He was rude and kept pushing me to give him that information but I kept explaining I am not the GC I do not know, my GC is on vacation and no one told me they would be at my home today to do this. My renovation is a full house reno so we were not living there during the renovation so its not like I could easily be there whenever their installer decided to show up. Again, sad to have to write this review but they highly recommended Pro Gas (and said they still will after I gave them this feedback) and I'd hate to see other customers get slammed with a huge bill and no communication or approval for that bill.

Rate was reasonable and the advice he gave me for proper maintenance and care was very useful ..Was thinking about having the fireplace sealed up so I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore when the new tenant moves it but the chimney guy told me , it would be a shame to not have a fireplace especially during the winter time and a fireplace in a condo apt is rare and very cool , so fireplace stays put . Glad I called Mr chimney to give the fireplace a checkup . 4.5 stars on my yelp meter .
