I am going into month 3 of having a nonfunctioning, unuseable outdoor kitchen which still remains a half built shell on my back deck because Sal sold me a damaged, subpar outdoor kitchen which he refuses to provide any level of customer service! This business owner cares about one thing and one thing only... HIMSELF! He does not care what happens to you after your check or credit card clears! As seen in the attached image, Sal from NYC fireplaces has revoked even the smallest simplest gesture of customer service since I wrote a negative review! This man thinks his word is all that matters in this world and does not believe that actions speak louder than words! Another tit for tat expectation from a shotty self centered looser of a business owner! RUN RUN RUN from this company! Go to absolutely anyone else! This man is a thief. This man is a corrupt business owner. My credit card company says numerous people have opened claims against this man! Even the OEM manufacturer of the kitchen island has said they will be refusing to allow this man to represent their company moving forward! Do not fall for all his positive reviews!

Why didn't you call me at all to tell me this and explain the delay? I sat around for 3 hours with zero communication from them. 2. Why are you back at your office and not at my house? You can't expect a customer to sit around all day waiting on you without communicating and giving them the opportunity to reschedule.

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.

I had an emergency issue regarding my gas furnace and chimney and of the several companies that came to examine the problem (some of which are well known and highly rated) Pete was the only one to correctly diagnose the issue. In doing so, he saved me much money at his own expense and (more importantly) helped keep my family warm. Now, whether that is an indictment on the honesty of others or their lack of experience compared to that of Pete, I daren't speculate. Moreover, he gave me tips about my fireplace. He was prompt, affable, and patient enough to answer my myriad questions. When i have further work to do on my chimney his will be the first number I dial.

I thought he completed the job correctly, but I was wrong. Fast forward to September 2026 and I just completed an oil to gas conversion. The furnace company's chimney folks came to do a pre-inspection and discovered that Pete's installation was not only substandard, but not up to code. He was supposed to pull a permit, which he did not. He had cemented down the chimney cap instead of screwing it down properly. He was supposed to install a chimney plate but instead used insulation. The cement crown was not properly installed and he cut many corners with the installation of the piping into the wall and chimney liner. I was told he took a short cut and the pitch was wrong, causing condensation, among other issues. Basically, I was told that it was an amateur job that could not be certified and was not up to code. I called Pete who initially responded and said not to worry and he would take care of it, but then he completed ghosted me. He has since avoided all my calls and texts. I had three other chimney companies come to evaluate and they showed me the photos of the work that Pete did...and they all had similar feedback about the substandard workmanship. I don't normally write negative reviews, but I don't want someone else to end up like me. Lesson learned. Now i know to insist on a permit and withhold payment until it passes inspection.
