Found A&A and Big Apple Chimney, both appear to be highly recommended and licensed with NYC dept of consumer affairs. However, i cannot locate Manny Lasalle’s company nor his NYC Contractor License.
@vinca do you know if he’s licensed or his actual company name? my wife and i would like 3 estimates before we decide which way to go…anyone else wanna chime in?

A&A Chimney and Big Apple Chimney, both are advertisers in Brownstoner directory; both have past recommendations; get bids from both. Manny LaSalle is also often recommended for chimney work. Search the Forum archives for contact info.
