Daniel was doing an insulation job across the street from me, I went and inspected the work and…read moreasked the builder his opinion and he was very satisfied. I had him inspect my attic and basement insulation which were severely lacking R value. He built access extension boxes, spray foamed all the penetrations into the attic and blew in an additional 15" of insulation. He also close cell spray foamed my basement ridge beams and joist spaces. I was very satisfied with the quality of his work and the professionalism of his crew. His price was great too! Highly recommend.

Daniel was very polite and provided a written estimate immediately. He and I discussed in detail if…read morehe was trained to insulate my non traditional home. He guaranteed that he was experienced in working with my type of dwelling. He completed the job without getting the proper permit from the city. I had a handyman look over his work and was told that the proper materials were not used and the insulation was not correctly installed. He came out a few times to fix it and I thought the issue was resolved. However, the insulation has fallen off. I've incurred over $1500.00 in costs in repairing plumbing because of it. I finally had the building inspector come out and they confirmed that the job simply wasn't done right. Daniel has agreed to a refund but is refusing to pay for the clean up/removal of the incorrect materials so it's looking like we're headed for arbitration. Home Advisor has been very supportive though.

(I only got the okay to set up an inspection on Saturday.) I'd expected only to be able to leave a message and not set up anything until they opened for regular business hours on Monday. Being able to do it over the weekend enabled the inspection to be done at the very beginning of the 5-day period specified in the contract with the seller. As for the report, you couldn't ask for it to be any more complete or any more promptly delivered. The report is long but presented in a way that makes it very easy to go through and understand. The email by which the report was sent had a short video link about tips for maximizing the benefits of the report. Even that had worthwhile info. As for the inspector, Paul LeBeau, what a knowledgeable, experienced, competent and conscientious guy. Over the years I've learned to do a fair number of fix-it things around the house (a little electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc.), so I have some basis for saying what I did about him. I think I've raved long enough, but I meant everything I said.

I recently completed a new build, and this company handled all of my insulation needs. Miguel is a…read moreman of his word, and his integrity is evident in everything he does. When he says he will be there and get the job done, he delivers--no exceptions. The quality of work is outstanding. His team operates seamlessly and doesn't miss a beat. Insulation is critical to keeping out the elements, whether it's extreme heat or cold, and any leaks simply translate into wasted money. Their attention to detail was impressive--every penetration from utility installations was properly foamed, sealed, and brought up to fire code. Cost to value is beyond what other companies would offer. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results!!

After getting a plumber and chimney service to look at the situation, I was left with the options of buying a new high-efficiency water heater that was vented directly outside or installing a new chimney liner.

Please use Chimney Crafters if you are looking for knowledgeable, friendly, and honest contractors.

I am completely satisfied with the service I received from Lindemann. Initially I had an older gas…read morefireplace (~10 years old or so) that would smell of natural gas while burning. Needing to get this taken care of, I converted it back to the original wood burning version. Unfortunately, after the first burn with real wood, our main floor smelled like a campsite. Needing to figure this out, I asked Lindemann if they would come out and look over my fireplace. Steve came over promptly and spent at least 1 hour with me free of charge answering all my questions, and basically talking through what might be the cause. He did not pressure me into any service Lindemann offered, rather he laid out all the options and the costs associated with each. After a productive conversation we settled on performing one more experiment burning real wood, to see if we could get that to work without smelling up the house. Unfortunately, that didn't work either! Which lead me to the only other reasonable option - purchase a retrofit direct vent gas system. Having spent the time with me talking things through I was tempted to buy the system from Lindemann outright. However, I did go ahead and get a quote from another company to compare prices. The prices were very similar, but Lindemann's (Steve's) customer service to that point had earned my trust. I purchased the direct vent system through Lindemann. The install of the system went smoothly and we now enjoy a direct vent system that produces ample heat and is super easy to use (just click the remote on). What used to be our coldest room in our home is now our warmest. I also appreciated the quality of work Steve performed. He took the time to understand my concerns and addressed them during the install. His level of care, attention to detail, and his customer-first attitude lead me to give Lindemann my full recommendation.

Came back with 3 options ranging from $3k to $12k and from replacing fireplace with electric to inserting a new smaller gas fireplace into the existing one. Also ripping out lining and replacing with new lining and cap. Meanwhile, I had a contractor friend look at it and saw no major issues. Hired Vertical to come out on the recommendation of a new neighbor. Inspection from top to bottom, cleaned fireplace and logs that were "completely fine" with no need of any replacement parts. Total cost for the fireplace work $199. Fired it up and it looked great. Lindemann? RUN!!
