Blakeman Plumbing & Heating

What Blakeman Plumbing & Heating does

Blakeman Plumbing & Heating Inc. is a privately held, full-service plumbing and HVAC contractor headquartered in Ashland, Wisconsin, serving northern Wisconsin since 1995. The company delivers residential service and repair (plumbing, heating, air conditioning, drain cleaning, water heater and sump pump work, frozen-pipe and gas-line repair), residential new construction and remodeling (furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, geothermal, and ductless minisplits), underground and septic services (septic design and installation, utility connections, storm water and water lines), and commercial plumbing and mechanical work across education, retail, healthcare, municipal, government, industrial, and multi-unit-housing sectors.

The business model is professional-services based and combines distributed residential service revenue (24/7 emergency dispatch, upfront pricing, onsite payment) with project-based commercial mechanical work delivered through a quoting and estimating function. The firm employs approximately 16 people organized around a CEO, multiple project managers/estimators, a service manager and dispatcher, a hiring manager, administrative and accounting staff, and field technicians; it also runs an apprenticeship program to develop trade labor. Customer acquisition relies on the company website, Facebook presence, Google reviews, and direct referrals, with no franchise or reseller distribution.

Technology adoption is limited to standard trade-software tooling, notably EVOLVE (Evolve MEP) for prefabrication workflows on commercial projects, alongside standard residential brands (Amana, Viessmann, Mitsubishi, Kohler, Honeywell, AO Smith). Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is positioned as transparent and quoted upfront. The company operates as a closely held corporation under CEO Dean B., with no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds.
