LINDSTROM CO

Plumbing, Appliance Repair - Small

About us

Since 1939, four generations of Lindstroms have served the plumbing/ contracting needs of Peninsulans with integrity, reliability, quality and a dedication to service. Frank Lindstrom founded Lindstrom Co. and our first shop was located on North San Mateo Drive at the corner of Hilltop. The new building was constructed and the business moved to its current location on Bayswater several years later. Eventually Franks daughter Dorothy Lindstrom McKeever and his son Bob Lindstrom took over management of the business. Dorothy's son Don Lindstrom then took over the business in 1969 and then ran the business with his wife Nancy Lindstrom up until recently. Nancy recently passed away in 2008 and Don has retired. Todd Lindstrom , Don's and Nancy's son, is currently managing the family business and Carrie Lindstrom Gonzalez, Don and Nancy's daughter is managing the office and both continue to carry on the legacy.

Not well. Now I'm out $5000.
Description of Work: I moved into a house this year that had its sewer line replaced by Lindstrom in 2000. I have all of the documentation from the installation. We ran a camera through the sewer line and found that due to poor installation, it had been massively breached by tree roots. So, we ended up getting 12 years out of a sewer line designed to last 25 years at a cost of almost $5000 to replace. Very, very disappointing.

Called them and also Water Heater Only. They were a bit more on just the hot water heater part but since I had a hot water recirculator and a tank system to remove air from the lines, I chose them. They were professional and competent, made appropriate recommendations and left it up to me to decide. I ended up getting a commercial grade hot water heater since they recommend that it will last longer. They rehook up all the systems perfectly. They came within 2 hours of my phone call and that was critical.
Description of Work: Replace leaking hot water heater including replumb hot water recirculator.

I found Lindstrom here at Angie's List before I became a full member, while searching with a friend who's been a member for a couple of years. I had a clogged drain, with a lot of "gunk" in it, and they came out, took care of it, and thanked me for my business. I'd use them again.
Description of Work: Drain clog

Lidstrom Plumbing responded to my call within twenty four hours. The employee was very professional and courteous and I was impressed with the quality of his work. He was in and out of my house in forty five minutes and he cleaned up his work site before he left.
Description of Work: They replaced the base, faucet and sprayer in my kitchen sink. I don't remember the cost but I believe it was reasonable.

The technician came out on time and was very polite. He advised us of an approximate timeframe to do the work but told us we would get a formal bid which we never received. Subsequently, we went with Caccia and were very please. Much to my surprise, we received a bill for $62.00 for the visit to quote. When I called to complain advising we were never told that there were be a charge I was told that everyone charged for this (not true)and I needed to improve my attidude. I refused to pay, an arugment entailed and I hung UP. We will not pay for work that was not done and charges that were not quoted.
Description of Work: We asked for a plumbing quote only.

THE NICE THING IS THAT HE HAD SOME EXTRA REPLACEMENT PARTS IN HIS VAN WHICH OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO GO BUY THE PARTS AND HAVE ANOTHER VISIT, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIG PAIN AND MORE EXPENSIVE.
Description of Work: WE HAD A LOT OF MISC WORK PERFORMED ON VARIOUS ISSUES. A COUPLE OF LEAKS, A TOILET THAT RAN ALL THE TIME, CLEARED THE SINK ETC. THE GUY THAT WORKED ON ALL OF THESE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AND DID IT ALL WITHIN A HOUR AND A HALF.
