Lindholm Roofing Inc

I called several roofers for estimates. Most of them would not even give me an estimate to put on a second layer rather than do an entire tear-off. I am a widow on a fixed income with not much money to throw around and could not afford a tear-off and having been around for a while in life, I know that a second layer is not unheard of ... in fact it has been quite usual in the past. Lindholm understood my dilema and gave me an estimate for a tear-off and putting on a second layer. Having just moved in to the house, I also had tuckpointing that had to be done on the house. Lindholm was very understanding of this fact and were very patient about waiting until that work was done prior to starting on the roof. They did an excellent job, the house looks great, and the price was one I could afford. Would definitely recommend them. The whole process was painless.

Called group asked someone to come and provide estimate. No one came (I work at home so I would know) and it was a day when it was raining and no one goes on top a roof when it's raining. To my surprise, I received a quote a few days later (as if someone had been here) for a full roof replacement, but it lacked any information about the condition of my roof. When I asked why that was, I received no response. Not until I mentioned Angies List did someone contact me. Too little too late.

Frustrating experience. I had a relatively small job and I felt that the Project Manager really wasn't interested. Tentively set one afternoon when he would be over. He came by at 5:30 after we had left for other commitments. Then reset pretty firmly another day "from 12 to 5." I wasted an afternoon hanging around because he never showed. Though my job was small, the damage due to winter leaks has cost me several thousand dollars. So it's important to me.

Lindholm Roofing Inc. Company is an established company and that’s why decided to contact them. Also, my neighbor got their roof done from them and I liked what I saw. I called the company several times to find out when they were planning to come out for the work but I haven’t heard from them so far. Initially they were very responsive to come out and give me an estimate. However after that I’m having difficulty finding out what they are planning to do. I probably would recommend them because from what I’ve seen they do good work. I just wish they responded better. I’m planning to call them one more time today and if they respond I would consider contacting them in the future.

It turned out very good. I am very pleased with the work. I would certainly recommend them to others.

They put a roof on twelve years ago and certain teed shingles were bad during that time period. I called Lindholm and they were very good about handling everything with the class action suit. They did everything, they took pictures of the roof and sent the shingles in. I didn't have to do a thing. There was kind of a messy application to get reimbursed for the shingles and they did everything and put the roof on. I was very happy with them. It's all working very well. Soon after the transaction was selected we received the cheque reimbursement from the shingle company. They reimbursed us for the shingles but they didn't reimburse for the labor and that was the best we could expect. I went with a higher quality shingles than what I had on there previously and I also had the vents completely redone. I took an old attic fan out and they put new bathroom vents in. They attached everything and then put a ridge vent in. Work was excellent. Even the first time they put in the treatment of the ice shield. When I talked about having the roof redone the representative was very good. He explained how they would have to put another layer on because the old one had nail holes and was probably going to be damaged while taking the shingles off. They were very prompt and they did a few things that I didn't expect them to do like attaching the bathroom vent to the new vents. The person was very good about explaining the venting system. Although he recommended a ridge vent he gave me all kind of options with and without, so I had a lot of options to choose from. He made several trips bringing sample tile shingles so that my wife could decide on the color. This generally was a good experience. I look up on them actually along with some other roofing companies and they have good points and bad points like most companies do. It's very hard even though companies are high on their own there are possibilities of having a blip depending on the crew you get but I was pleased both the times. They would be the first people I would call if had a problem.

They just came out and gave me another estimate so they are going to be doing more work on another roof within the next two months. The pricing was decent and the work was excellent. They are thorough and professional. They clean up when they are done. They guarantee their work and will come back if we have any problems without griping.

We have been doing business with Lindholm roofing for over 25 years. They actually have third generation family members working there now which means a lot. Last year there were terrible hailstorms which wreaked havoc on Park Ridge roofs. We called Lindholm roofing for a fair and honest evaluation of our roof. Tim Lindholm told us it was totally fine and there was no damage. During the next two months, we had so many roofing companies come to our door and give us a "free" evaluation and said it needed a lot of work. We were lucky to have Lindholm give us the true story. They are simply the best. . Mike and Be-Be North

VERY WELL. STAFF WAS CAPABIBLE AND CAREFUL IN ALL THE WORK. HAD 2 SEPERATE CREWS, FIRST DAT, THE REGULAR ROOFERS DID THE MAIN ROOF. SECOND DAY, THE 'SPECIALISTS CREW DIS THE FLAT ROOF. BOTH WERE EXCELLENT.

Because it was a pretty small job, he couldn't plan on an exact day or time, but it was no problem with me. One day I came home and it was done.

Very well. Received estimate. Found estimate was a fair price. Contacted several other roofing companies for an estimate but only received call backs from two out of the four companies contacted. Received color samples several weeks later and had roof installed that week. Job took one day to complete. Outside area was completely clean at the end of the job. I am satisified with the work done.

They handle themselves very well and they are punctual.

I was very happy with them. They laid tarps down to keep the area below clean during the tear off. They were very careful. They were responsive when I had any questions or issues.

UPDATE: While I will not choose this company to do work for my house in the future, given the overall reputation of this company, and their efforts to remedy the situation - I believe that our estimate was simply a mix up. I've adjusted the rating and encourage others to give them a try. I had three roofers come to our house for an estimate, and Lindholm was the first to show up. The man who came by asked me what the issue was - and I explained to him that we had just purchased the home and were trying to address the issues uncovered by the inspector. We were concerned about possible leaks in the roof as evidenced by some water stains in the attic. I also mentioned that we were looking for a stop gap because we were tight on money. The gentleman walked the perimeter of our home - and promptly informed us that we needed a completely new roof - that it was in terrible shape... severe shape - and that we also needed a totally rebuilt chimney. He told us that he would send someone with a ladder and we should expect a written estimate in the next few days. We were very concerned until the other roofers we had contacted for estimates arrived - and both reported that our roof was in fine shape (one said that while one side was a little worn, the other side was "mint" - and estimated we had at least another 5-7 years) and that the water damage in the attic was old. Both also explained that while the chimney needed new flashings - but it was absolutely solid and certainly didn't have to be rebuilt. I didn't think much of the Lindholm guy - it was, after all, a visual inspection and I expected that their opinion would be different on the estimate which would be further informed by their guy with the ladder. First I can say that I was home and no one came back from Lindholm to further investigate our roof as promised. However, estimates sure did arrive from Lindholm - for 5,000 and for 7,000 - both noting that someone had been by to investigate. Both advised that I needed a new roof... the less expensive of the two was to add another layer (we already have two??!), and the more expensive was for a complete tear off. Given that I had mentioned how financially strained we are, that two other roofers who I witnessed on my roof said the roof was fine and the leaks were old, and that I am sure that the second Lindholm guy did not come to actually inspect the roof - I am extremely upset by this estimate. I can't believe that Lindholm is still in business. I hope that this type of dishonesty catches up with them.

Within a few days after the initial call, two representatives came out, inspected the roof, and estimated what the job would entail with a cost estimate. The job required a tear-off of three layers of roof, any necessary sheathing repairs, new materials installation. The work began a week later and took two days to complete including an extensive clean-up. This was our second experience with Lindholm a highly recommend this company.

Great experience from start to finish. Two guys came out for the original estimate. They came when they said they would and were thorough and professional. They listened to and answered my questions. Then they came when they said they would to repair the roof and got it done in one day. There were no surprises and the roof is no longer leaking. I would use them again for sure.

impressed with honesty and candor of mr. doug brown

Our dealings with all of the people at Lindholm Roofing were friendly, prompt, and professional right from our first call. Everything was done as scheduled. We feel we made the right selection in choosing them.

They came when we weren't home and fixed the flashing. It looked great and matched the rest of the flashing (white aluminum).

The crew arrived on time and identified themselves. The foreman explained what they would do and said if I had any question while they were working do not hesitate to ask. They did not ask for water or to use my bathroom. The only stopped for about 45 minutes to eat their lunch. When the crew was finished, they cleaned all debris from the lawn and used a magnetic rake to remove loose nails in the lawn, on the driveway and on my neighbors lawn and driveway. Then the foreman had me look at the roof and even pointed out that my kitchen exhaust stack did not go all the way to the top of the roof. I told him I found out a few weeks ago when I was cleaning the exhaust fan. The foreman said, when ever I decide to have it done, call Lindholm to install an exhaust stack through the roof.

They gave me an estimate for a repair. They came out and "repaired" a leak. Their job did not fix the problem. When I called them back to tell them the problem wasn't fixed, they blew me off. Then, in my mailbox they sent me a random estimate for the work to be "re-done". They didn't want to try and fix the problem, they wanted to charge me again. I had to find another company. The other company fixed the problem which was a minor caulking issue. I didn't need to pay for the whole job to be redone.

This occurred nearly 10 years ago, but be warned. It appears that recent reports reveal they haven?t changed their ways. The work started and stopped several time throughout the project. After repeated phone calls, the workmen returned to continue. When the job was finished, it was a relief. After a couple of months, the roof began to leak. It was discovered they neglected to add flashing to the chimney and therefore, water leaked into the 1st and 2nd floor. I collected competitive bids from professional plaster/painters and was willing to accept the lowest amount from Lindholm to settle. They refused. After many calls and letters, their only remedy was to send workmen to fix damaged plaster and repaint the damaged areas. I ask you, if a roofing company fails to properly install a roof, would you allow them to repair interior damage caused by their negligence? I didn?t.

This was great! They came, did what they said they would do, I paid what they said I would, and they were gone! The man came and checked the work to make sure it was done properly. I was happy. I had about three discounts from them, one was a senior discount and the other was for being an Angie's List member. I would hire them again.

Afterwards, they discounted the project for us, which was nice. They completed the work in just a couple of days and they remained neat and clean.

Initial work was a little messy--shingles were not aligned evenly (e.g. horizontally) in some places, especially under the main garage window (we noticed a general reluctance to fix sections they had started or just completed). Some shingles didn't lay flat (we were told that with the sun they would adhere to the roof better and lay flat; didn't happen), and we had roofing scrap all around the property after they left (not big pieces, but long thin gummy strips of roofing and cut up shingle sheets (fine). While not ideal, so long as the roof was in place and properly installed, we we fine living with these relatively minor items. A couple years after they did their work, but while we were within the 5-yr labor and 20+-yr material warranty, we noticed some damage around nearly all the second-floor (roofed around) windows (e.g. bubbles, wrinkles and/or cracks in the plaster & paint). We realized it was water damage. We called the roofers to come out & they originally said the problem was not due to the roofing work. The Company representative said that our windows are old and are going bad (all at the same time). We then confirmed with a window contractor that the windows were fine, although they were not new/maybe about 15 yrs old (Andersen insulated, double-panes, etc.). I then called our village inspector and the inspector helped confirm the roof was the problem. The windows with the worse damage had a 1"+ gap between the roof shingle and the actual roof line which was not sealed around the window. One window had a larger gap on one side and more water damage occurred on that side vs. the other side where the gap was smaller. I called Lindholm Roofing back and said we would be reasonable on working with them on a solution, but I needed them to come out soon and seal the windows (as several thunder storms were expected later in the week & for a few days straight). They said they couldn't come out that quick. On the only occasion that they called us back after that, one of their representatives spoke with my husband and said he didn't think the village came out to look at the problem (fortunately I received a written report) and then he & LHR never called back. I had to ask some painters working in the area if they would please come and caulk the windows before the bad weather and they did. After that, we had a contractor come out and for a reasonable cost, he sealed around all the windows for us. We called Lindholm and their secretary who didn't know us, said it would be a while before they could get back to us because of all the bad weather lately. That was about 4 months ago and we never heard back from them. Lindholm did not stand by their work or warranty. We paid for the sealing and damage ourselves--the costs were fairly small/reasonable. We're just left disappointed and won't work with them again. UPDATE--Lindholm has since come out and inspected the windows. They lifted the shingles around the windows, put down rubber lining and replaced the shingles and sealed around the windows. We have not had problems with the windows after that time.
