The Most Recommended Chimney Sweeps in New York — Measured on ChatGPT

Homeowners in New York don't just search anymore — they ask ChatGPT who to call. In August 2026 we put the answer on record: 4 separate checks, phrased 4 different ways, run against 55 New York-area chimney sweeps.

Only 23 of those 55 companies were ever recommended: a 42% hit rate. The steadiest answer was Paragon Chimney and Roofing of NYC, named in all 4 checks.

Chimney Professionals Inc and Combustible Care Maintenance landed just behind, named in 3 of 4 checks.

There is no number one here on purpose. Ask ChatGPT the same question twice and the answer can change, so we publish how many of the 4 checks named each company instead of a place that would move if we asked again. Companies named in only one check aren't listed.

For scale: of the 12 metros in this edition, New York's cohort of 55 chimney sweeps was the 1st largest.

Only 23 of 55

chimney sweeps in the New York cohort ever came up in ChatGPT's answers (42%). The full measured list:

Rankings are measured and cannot be purchased — sponsored blocks are labeled advertising and sit outside the ranked list.

Ask ChatGPT the same question twice and the answer can change. So we do not crown a number one. We publish how many of the 4 checks named each company. Companies named in more checks are the ones ChatGPT keeps coming back to. Companies named in only one check are not listed: a single mention does not repeat reliably.

All 55 chimney sweeps in New York, ranked by Google rating

The list above is what ChatGPT named when we asked. This is every chimney sweep we checked in New York on August 21, 2026 — all 55 of them — put in order by their Google star rating and how many Google reviews are behind it. That order is Google’s, not ours, and it is not an AI result. Being on this list is not a recommendation. It only means we checked this chimney sweep. The ones ChatGPT kept naming are in the groups above.

36 more chimney sweeps we checked, with no Google rating to sort by

These are listed alphabetically. A chimney sweep with no rating, or only one or two reviews, is not put in order above. That is a gap in what Google shows, not a judgement about the work.

About the New York list

Does ChatGPT recommend many chimney sweeps in New York?

Very few. Of the 55 New York-area companies we benchmarked in August 2026, only 23 were ever named across 4 checks — 42%. The rest never came up.

What's the most recommended chimney sweep in New York right now?

Right now, Paragon Chimney and Roofing of NYC — recommended in every one of the 4 checks, and the only company at that level in New York.

Why don't you rank the New York companies 1, 2, 3?

We tested it. Running the identical questions a second time moved the top name in a large share of markets, but a company named in most checks was named in most checks again. The reliable number is how many of the 4 checks named you — so that's what the page shows, and equal counts share a group.

Which questions produced the New York list?

We asked 4 homeowner-style questions, such as "Who is the best chimney sweep in New York, New York?", and logged each company ChatGPT named in response. All the phrasings we used are shown above.

Is a spot on the New York board for sale?

No — and that's the point. The list is measured, never sold; no payment, sponsorship, or relationship moves a company onto it. A company can buy a labeled sponsored block beside the list, which changes nothing about the list.

My company serves New York but isn't here — why?

Either ChatGPT never named it in our August 2026 checks, or it came up in only one of them — and one mention isn't steady enough to publish. Neither says anything about the quality of the work, only that homeowners who ask AI are being sent elsewhere.

New — not rankedFree listing · not measured, not scored, not a ranking

New to New York? These chimney sweeps are just getting started.

Everything above this line was measured. The list on this page comes from asking AI assistants real questions and counting who they named — no one can buy their way onto it.

This section is different, and we want to be plain about it. The businesses below are brand new. They have not been measured, they have no rank and no score, and they are not part of the list above. They are here because they asked to be, we checked that they are real, and a business that opened last month has no way to show up in a ranking built on history. Nobody paid for a spot here — it is free, and it is not an endorsement.

Just opened a company in New York? You can be the first one here.

Tell us who you are and we'll add you to this section — free. It is not a ranking and it will never say you are ranked, because you are not: you are new. When we re-run the benchmark, a real spot on the list above is something you earn, not something we hand out.
