About American Chimney Service
American Chimney Service has operated as a family-owned chimney and fireplace contractor serving Hackensack and throughout northern New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area since establishing its presence in the region. The company maintains an exceptional 4.8-star rating drawn from 177 client reviews, reflecting a consistent track record of thorough inspections, clean work sites, and durable repairs. All lead technicians hold certifications from the Chimney Safety Institute of America, and the company offers same-day emergency response for homeowners facing chimney hazards. The full-service operation handles everything from routine annual cleanings to complete chimney rebuilds, relining, and masonry restoration.
What distinguishes this contractor is the combination of rapid turnaround and written workmanship warranties on all projects. The company provides free written quotes within 24 hours of inspection, allowing homeowners to compare options without pressure. Their video-based chimney evaluation system lets clients see exactly what the technician sees inside their flue and masonry structure, creating transparency that simplifies repair decisions. The team specializes in historic-home chimney restoration, applying modern lining techniques to century-old chimneys while preserving the original masonry envelope.
Homeowners repeatedly mention Nick Manzo and his crew in five-star reviews, describing projects ranging from gas fireplace installations to complete chimney rebuilds on homes over 120 years old. In one recent review, a customer noted Nick expedited an entire project into a single workday without applying pressure, while another praised the team's thorough cleanup after completing a chimney relining on a 100-year-old structure. The consistency of these named-technician reviews suggests a stable, experienced crew that customers can request by name.
