I decided to call this company after seeing the name in the coupon section. The technician arrived on time. He was pleasant and professional. Upon viewing the area of the leak, which was now dry, the technician felt that I didn't have a major problem. After examining, the chimney he explained that a very small opening had developed on one of the corners "where it wrapped around" and depending on the direction of the rain/wind the water would get in. The repair was done with a sealant. He also said the integrity of the flashing was good. The charge for the visit was TEN dollars. I was very satisfied with the overall visit and would not hesitate to use the company again.
Description of Work: I had a very small leak in my living room which was coming from the chimney area. I had the same leak several years ago and it was successfully repaired by another company. It had returned due to the very heavy rains we've had plus the wear and tear of the years gone by. It was only noticeable after CONTINUOUS heavy rain.

I had them out last year to clean the woodstove and scheduled a followup this winter to look at the both the fireplace and stove. Due to the warm fall this year nothing needed to be done with the stove. On this visit he arrived as scheduled, fixed the damper, and swept the fireplace chimney. Nothing turned up in the inspection and as usual he left the house spotless.
Description of Work: He put the fireplace damper back in place that I managed to knock loose, and he inspected and swept the chimney (masonry).

Things went well. I called they were to us within 2 weeks. On time and honest. They did work at our old house and we have not been disappointed. It has been great having a working fireplace.
Description of Work: this is a new house to us and we wanted to have a fire in the fireplace for Christmas. they scheduled a "sweep" just in case but it was clean. They did an inspection and we needed a chimney cap so they ran back to the shop to get one and installed it that afternoon. They just charged for the inspection and installation since it didn't need a sweep.

Response from Wisconsin Chimney Technicians Inc
Thanks for permitting us to bid on your rebuild. There are alot of factors that determine the cost of doing business. Was the lowest bidder using the same quality materials? Was the scope of the work the same? Without know who else bid on the job it's hard to tell you why our proposal was so much higher. We are a full time company that pays taxes, carry insurance, provide our employess with a family supporting wage, we make sure our employees are well trained etc. I have no way of knowing if the same can be said of the others that bid on this job. We feel that being the lowest priced service in the market would not permit use to offer the high level of service we're known for. Thanks again for the opportunity to bid. Jeff

We are very happy. The technicians were only in our home for about 45 minutes. We also had our dryer vent cleaned. Two technicians came out, one worked on the dryer vent and the other the chimney. They were very efficient.
Description of Work: The service technicians came into the house and spread blankets all around the fireplace. They had a commercial vacuum- like machine that they used to suction the soot and creosote from the flu of the fireplace. Other than a little noise, the fireplace and room was cleaner when they left then when they arrived! This was preventative, we were not having any problems. We will definately have them come again in a couple of years. We have had a fire burning in the the fireplace the other night and it was awesome!

I have been calling and talking with people for over a year to have my chimney repaired Jeff came out to my home in 2009 and gave me an estimate for the repair of my chimney. I wasn't here but my brother in law was and he told me how nice and personable Jeff was. The estimate only described rebuilding about 14 levels and a new cap and things of that sort. I wasn't able to have the work done that year but when 2010 came and I was finally getting to my projects I called Jeff back and asked if he would come out and give me an updated estimate. Jeff came again while no one was here and mailed me a new estimate. Since I was trying to find the best person for the job I called another chimney guy that a friend had used and he called me to make an appointment while I was here. He came into the house and looked up into the chimney and up on the roof to look down it. He then went through everything he found in detail and gave me an estimate. Still remembering how nice my brother in law told me Jeff was I called his office back and talked with his receptionist and asked if I could fax over the other estimate and see if Jeff has also found these repairs to be necessary and how much it would cost if I used him. I have talked to his office twice and have never received any response, I went with the other company which is costing me about 10K I think this is a big expensive job that anyone would be happy to get, Jeff I gave you plenty of chances.

I regret the failure on our part to follow through regarding your request. Even though we try very hard to do a good job on all aspects of the business, we do fail on occassion. I appears as if we not only dropped the ball in this case, but we kicked it into the other team's end zone. I'm sorry we failed so badly in your case. I appreciate your taking the time to give us the feedback. A report such as this, not being the type we want, shows us how important it is to keep track of all requests for service. I'm sure that the company you will be hiring will do a great job for you. I'm sorry we sacrificed our opportunity to serve you. Jeff

We had a squirrel enter the house through the chimney, when we discovered the damper had fallen out of its track. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to fix it myself, I called Wisconsin Chimney Technicians, and he was able to come the same day and fix it in less than five minutes! Great service.

I had discussed that we wanted to turn our fireplace back to a wood burning fireplace prior to Jeff's arrival so Jeff know what we had planned. We were also considering adding a gas log-lighter. Jeff came out with a log lighter that he had purchased to avoid a second trip. Our installation did not have the external shutoff required to accomodate the log lighter so we asked him to just remove the gas log assemble and cap the gas line. We decided that we did not want to rework the gas line at this time so we did not add the log-lighter assembly. The work turned out to be simple enough that it was covered by his inspection/trip charge. The work was done promptly and very clean. We are very happy with his work and the care he took to keep our carpet near the fireplace clean.
Description of Work: Removed gas log unit from fireplace and capped the gas line. Inspected the fireplace and chimney to confirm it was able to accomodate a wood fire.

Very well, I was afraid there was going to be dust and debris in the living room, but they did not leave a speck of anything behind. Excellent! UPDATE, THE FIREPLACE WALL PANEL THAT WAS IN MY FIREPLACE HAD BEEN THERE FOR 25 YEARS AND I USE MY FIRE PLACE A LOT, WEHN IT CRACKED AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS I CONTRACTED WITH WI CHIMNEY TECHNICIANS TO REPLACE THE WALL PANEL WHICH THEY DID. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER WI CHIMNEY PUT IN THE NEW WALL PANEL IN IT CRACKED IN TWO SPOTS. I CALLED AND THEY SENT A TECHNICIAN OUT TO TO REPLACE THAT ONE BUT WHEN HE GOT TO MY HOUSE HE DISCOVERED THE WALL IN THE TRUCK WAS CRACKED SO HE HAD TO GO AND GET YET ANOTHER WALL PANEL. THEY PUT THAT ONE IN (WHICH WAS THE 3RD PANEL BY THIS TIME) AND THAT ONE CRACKED ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME WAY THAT THE 1ST REPLACEMENT PANEL HAD. I CALLED WI CHINMEY TECHNICIANS BACK AND ULTIMATELY THEY JUST SENT MY MONEY BACK, NO SOLUTION. SO I AM LEFT WITH A FIREPLACE THAT I AM AFRAID TO USE BECAUSE THE WALL IS CRACKED. I DO NOT THROW LOGS INTO THE FIREPLACE IN FACT I AM VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DO THAT SO THEY WILL NOT HIT THE WALL PANELS IN THE FIREPLACE. I NEVER TALKED TO JEFF, HE JUST HAD HIS OFFICE PERSON RELAY THE MESSAGE THAT THEY CALLED THE MFG OF THE WALL PANELS AND "NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING". I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS FAULTY MANUFACTURING OR JUST A BAD BATCH OF WALL PANELS BUT TO JUST LEAVE ME WITH A CRACKED FIREPLACE WALL DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF GOOD BUSINESS SENSE TO ME. I WILL HAVE TO CONTACT SOME OTHER COMPANY AND SEE IF THEY HAVE FIREPLACE WALL PANELS THAT WILL LAST FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE END.
Description of Work: Had the back wall in my fireplace replaced as it was cracked and falling apart.

Jeff came in and was very friendly and professional. Arrived on time. Described the work that he would be doing. He was very thorough. He used drop cloths so there was no mess at all. After he was done, he gave some recommendation and suggestions. Everything checked out fine.
Description of Work: We bought our house earlier in the year and wanted to have the chimney checked out and cleaned before we used it this winter. Jeff came in and checked out and cleaned the fireplace from the living room point of view and then he went up on the roof and check the draft and to see if we had any problems with the chimney itself.

What a great company! I left a message Monday afternoon. Monday night Jeff called and left a message for me saying he'd call the next morning. He did! I was ready to pay for a fireplace cleaning but after talking with Jeff it sounded like that probably wouldn't fix our problem. I was so very impressed that Jeff basically talked himself out of the business and saved us money. I will definitely recommend this company to others and call them when I need fireplace repairs or cleaning. Thank you!

They told us that we couldn't replace the pipe. The work went fine. It was nice and smooth. They came out and did the work before Christmas. I don't know how much we spent on their service as my wife took care of the bill. I think the price was fine because my wife would have told me if it was high. The quality of work was good. They were right on time.

They worked out great. It took them a little while to get here because we had some scheduling snafus. Ultimately, they made it out and they completed the work I was looking for. They might have been a shade more expensive than I had hoped but the quality of the work was excellent. The feedback on the chimney, fireplace, and firebox was very helpful.

We were in the process of selling our home and needed to get work done quickly. Jeff was able to get all the work done and give us the required lien waiver well before our closing date. The work was done in a professional manner, and our real estate agent was pleasantly surprised by the very reasonable price we received (including an Angie's list discount).
