Fantastic product, but could be more informative. 6/17/2011

The main reason I chose Lindholm Roofing was because they were backed by WGM and because my friends had good experiences with them. They have also been open over 50 years, and their reputation precedes them. But the gentleman that came over to my house did not speak to that. It was not a bad experience, but it was not a great experience either. There were many unknowns that I was expecting him to answer, and either he knew the answers and didn't tell me, or he didn't know the answers and never got back to me when and if he found them. There is room for improvement, but it was not a total disaster. The product was fantastic! In terms of roofing, I've never had one done before. I didn't know that they wouldn't know how much plywood was needed until the tear off. They should alert the consumer about what is needed, just as a courtesy. An itemized bill at the end would have been nice, but more importantly I should have gotten a phone call about it before it was done. It's not like it was a $500 job, it was an $11,000 job, a very, very big job, and I would have appreciated being better informed. more

Used for 25 Years, People you Can COUNT on 6/15/2011

I have used Lindholm Roofing for for over 25 years. I had my own business in Chicago and had Lindholm Roofing come out and redo the entire roof and metal work. I recommended Lindholm to my son who used them to install all new siding on their home. They have preformed several repairs/replacements on my home in the northwest suburbs. I am currently working with two of the owners who have contacted me several times to keep me updated and come out to meet me twice. The shingles put on our roof were part of a class action suit that the Lindholm's brought to my attention. They took care of everything from filling out the form to taking shingle samples and pictures at no cost to us. They are now in the process of giving us a new roof, soffit, fascia, siding and gutters. As old customers they give us the best prices compared to other companies and the best service. We will always stick with Lindholm and recommend to any and all friends and family. more

Do NOT use Lindholm roofing 6/15/2011

All johnny on the spot when selling the roof, pointing out all problems that will go away with their product and service. Well, not only did this not happen, but they were hard to reach, started blaming the leaks on other construction factors, and were actually rude--which was the case from the people answering the phone to the owners. As I talked with others about this, I found similar experiences and stories. I thought because it was a long-standing family-owned business, this could not be the case. I was wrong. Do not use Lindholm roofing. more

Happy Customer 5/31/2011

Had my roof, siding and gutters replaced last year. Tom Lindholm was very helpful in coming to us with sample options and a great price. The job ended up at $14,000 but it was well worth it for the outcome and service. I would certainly recommend them to others. more

Great Service, Great Family Business 5/23/2011

We had a $10,000 job with Lindholm roofing that we were extremely happy with. Tim Lindholm came out right away and responded to every question we had. The work we had done was a full roof replacement, siding replacement, exhaust fan and vent replacement. This is the 2nd time we have used this company. It took my wife 1 year to decide on the roof color. Tim was extremely patient during the process. He was also very helpful in discussing the replacement numbers with the insurance co. When the work was finally started, it was done is a very efficient and thorough manner. Clean-up was great. Even went up on the roof with Tim to inspect the job.All our contacts with the office personnel were pleasant and professional. more

PASS ON LINDHOLM 5/22/2011

Good luck getting TIm LIndholm return your calls if there is a problem after they have your money. At least 5 calls and no return calls ...Funny before the work was started I had no problem getting ahold of Tim...? I would advise to stay away from this business. Very bad people funny how they advertise as a family business but the family runs and hides when problems arise....Stay Away you have been warned by someone who has to tear off a seven thousand dollar roof after only 10 years.... more

homeowner 4/6/2011

We are so thrilled with Lindholm Roofing! Our salesman was one of the best we have worked with in a long time. He was on time and very polite. He answered all of our questions with easy to understand explanations. He went through his entire contract in detail with me personally. The three other companies we got estimates from were not as helpful and informative. The work was just as good as the service. We recommend Lindholm Roofing to our family and Friends. more

One of the best in the city 9/15/2010

Extremely pleased with the work. They did a two layer tear off and hand nailed new shingles. Did a great job of wrapping chimmney. I have used Lindholm several times in past to repair animal damage to roof so it was a no brainer to get a bid from them. Mike Gabrione is the Sales rep I have worked with and he is very professional. Lindholms bid fell right in the middle of the 4 bids recvd. Tear off and installation all done in 6 hrs. Clean up went great, two yrs later I am writing this review and all work still in great shape. Thanks Mike and Lindholm. more

Highly Recommend - Quality/Courteousy/Professional 8/26/2010

Lindholm put on a new roof and soffit/fascia. The work looks great! The crew that performed the work was very polite and professional, they were one of the quietest group of workers to ever work on our home. I had a contractor installing bathroom utilities play the radio and sing at full volume for a week! Since then I appreciate an exceptional crew that is courteous and professional. The crew was also extremely neat. I went outside after they left and it was as if they were never there. Great company - would definitely recommend! more

THEY NEVER SHOWED UP! 7/23/2010

Hired Lindholm Roofing. They called me on Thursday July 8th and scheduled for today July 23rd. They never showed up!! When I called - they claimed - no one called me. Really? I just MADE UP the day so I could...what? Take a day off work -sit around doing nothing and then call you and ask you where you were for the heck of it? Really? THAT'S the angle you're going to take? I didn't make up the day - THEY CALLED AND SCHEDULED IT FOR TOOODDDAYYYY. Hire a more professional company - don't hire this one. more

Quality Work and Service 4/3/2009

We heard of Lindholm roofing on the radio, and called up the company to have someone take a look at our house for an inspection. We recently bought a home and were not 100% sure about the condition it was in. John came out from the company and gave us honest answers to our questions. We were told that there were some parts of our house that were fine even though they looked a little worn. We only had the gutters and spouts replaced, but plan on having Lindholm check our house again in a few years. We would like to say thank you, and recommend Lindholm to others. Pros: Happy to answer all of my questions Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

Prompt,Reliable, Best Roofer in Town 12/15/2008

I strongly recommend this company. They were a pleasure to work with from the initial call to the day I sent the check in. I got a live person when I called with my problem. The salesperson, Don, came out promptly. Gave me an honest estimate. His knowledge of the problem was accurate and clear. They scheduled the job and came out when promised. The crew was courteous, quick, and clean. Finally, Don called to check on my satisfaction with the job. A+ GREAT LOCAL COMPANY WITH LOTS OF EXPERIENCE Pros: Excellent Customer Service Cons: Had to be put on hold a few times more

Nice Family Owned Company 11/10/2008

I contracted Lindholm Roofing to install a new shingle roof on my house in Park Ridge three years ago, May 2005. The price was good, and the roof was installed fast and looks great. There was a small amount of debris around the house, but I was told to expect that. My reason for writing a review came when I had a small leak three years later in September of 2008. I called the company to come out and see what the problem was. They explained how the leak was most likely coming from around my Chimney, and there was a good chance that the roof itself was not the culprit. As a show of goodwill the salesperson coated my chimney with a waterproofing solution at no charge and told me to call him if the leak returned. So far my house is dry and I just wanted to say thank you to Lindholm Roofing for trying to help me and standing by their work years after the roof was installed. more

Toxic company. Unresponsive to problems. Avoid this firm 10/21/2008

Although we had an initial good experience, we were very disappointed to find the firm unresponsive to what was, essentially, a small problem. Regrettably, because they failed to respond, this small problem mushroomed into thousands of dollars of water and electrical damage. We?ve documented our experience at a website, lindholmroofingproblems dot com Pros: Showed up as scheduled Cons: Unresponsive when problems occurred more

Good old fashioned company service 9/26/2008

I highly recommend this company. I had a leak and called 3 roofers to give me a quote. Lindholm answered promptly and courteously to come out for a free quote. The other companies either didn't call back or did so a month later. Salesman was educated on my problem and gave me options to solve problem. No oversell or panic. Job was done as promised and clean-up was fast and amazing. I had a question a 6 months later on my gutters and salesman took the time to come out and attach a elbow. No charge. This is what a family company is all about. more

Quality company, with a lot of roofing knowledge 5/28/2008

Lindholm roofing installed a new roof and gutters on my house two weeks ago. They finished the entire roof within one day and had the gutters done two days later. I paid for everything upon completion and am more than satisfied with the whole process. I'd recommend them because of their quality work and their knowledge of what my home needed. Pros: Workmanship, Roofing Knowledge, Value more

How to Lose a Customer's Good Will 4/19/2008

They charged me $750 over the contracted amount without saying wh. They then claimed my wife had authorized extra work. To this day, she has not spoken one word to the company. They continue to bill me for work we did not wish performed. I question their integrity. These people at the very least treat their customers poorly. You may deduce what my experience infers. Pros: The roof isn't leaking. Cons: Horrible experience. more
