Local directory evidence
These figures describe this directory, not the size of the local trade or a survey of every contractor. Nearby companies are excluded from these location counts.
144 profiles do not have credential details recorded. That means the directory lacks that field; it does not establish that those companies have no qualifications. 171 profiles have unknown insurance status. Request current evidence directly before booking. Avoid turning a data gap into a claim about a business.

Place matters / Regional context
Wisconsin is exposed to Arctic winter air and humid Gulf air in summer. The northern part of the state has colder winters than the south, within a broad pattern of strong seasonal temperature variation.
Historical climate context: NOAA State Climate Summaries, 2022, checked September 24, 2026. This is regional background, not a current weather alert.
How will the inspection and cleaning scope account for the actual amount of winter use and any unresolved findings from the previous visit?
This question is our editorial interpretation. Climate context alone does not diagnose chimney damage or establish a repair requirement.
Local housing evidence / 2020–2024 ACS
The Census Bureau estimates 2,778,572 housing units in Wisconsin. Within that total, 495,155 are in structures built before 1940 and 197,957 are in structures built during 2010–2019. These are survey estimates of housing units, including units in multi-unit buildings—not counts of houses with chimneys.
Ask what is known about the liner, past appliance changes and previous repairs. The building’s age does not establish the chimney’s age: a liner may have been replaced, a fireplace converted or a passage abandoned. Original construction and current configuration need to be distinguished.
Find the appliance and venting-system identification before buying replacement parts. A newer home can still have missing records, a changed appliance or a maintenance issue. Do not infer condition or inspection scope from its construction decade.
No. Table B25034 measures the year the residential structure was built. It does not identify fireplaces, fuel, liners, appliance condition or chimney defects. We use it to encourage a better history-taking conversation, not to predict damage or sell repairs. The geography shown above may differ from a postal address or a contractor’s service area.

Estimates describe a five-year period, not a count made today. Names are matched only when unambiguous; unmatched locations receive no substituted housing figures. Read our method.
Plan your chimney work
A chimney sweep visit can include cleaning, a visual inspection, a camera scan, gas fireplace service, cap replacement or masonry repair. The right scope depends on the appliance, how often it burns, the condition of the flue and the symptom you noticed. Ask a local contractor to identify each flue and document its findings before approving repairs.
Ranked by verification and profile evidence, with paid tier used after those signals. See the ranking method.
