Lindgren Construction

It went well. Every thing was done fine, everything great.

Responsiveness became a major performance issue.

Eric took over a partially completed remodeling job. The job
included framing a new floor where there had been a sunken conversation pit,
hanging doors, replacing the old baseboards and completing a wall with new drywall.
His bid was very reasonable and he completed the job quickly and efficiently. I
would use him again and I would definitely recommend him to others.

Having purchased this second home out of state and literally knowing nothing about the area and what was needed to set up the reconstruction, he was highly recommended by our real estate agent and had great references from other homeowners in the area. Eric helped us find a local architect/designer, worked with the building planning district, water district, etc. etc. so he's much more than just a General Contractor.  We simply could not have completed the work without him. As with all remodels, it's stressful and he was the calm, steady person needed to keep everyone in check.  He had great sub-contractors and every portion of the work was completed as guaranteed per the contract.  When there were hiccups, he fixed it.  He did all the hard work, just coordinated with us to be sure we got what we expected from each phase.  The results exceeded all our expectations.  No hesitation with recommending him for any job, large or small.

Jason is always very timely, professional and the quality always exceeds our expectations.  He is very good about letting us know about any issues he encounters and explains how we can fix it, the costs, etc.  He is straightforward and honest.  This is the second project that we have used Jason on and we will continue to use his services for our future projects.

Lindgren Construction is the best. I hope to work with Eric again. 
I own a rental property in Hollister with a long triangular yard with public access on both sides. 
I wanted a tall redwood fence around the side and back perimeter of the property: a total of over 370
linear feet. I am staying in Arizona and needed to hire a contractor site unseen.. 
I made contact with Eric and we communicated regularly via telephone and text. In all his dealings
with me he was clear and respectful. 
The existing fence had to be removed.
It was a mix of old railroad ties, horse wire, and ancient redwood. Against the back fence was overgrown weeds and
possibly some trash that would need removal. Yucca plants grew on the back fence and would need cutting before the
new fence could be installed.  County approval would be needed.
Eric gave me a quote, which was too high. He then redesigned the fence to 5' to lower the cost.
The job was begun and finished within four days of receiving my down payment. 
There were some adjustments along the way..I asked to have it stained. He used a very good quality
light redwood stain. We had some huge Yucca trees in our driveway encroaching on the neighbor's garage.
Eric offered to remove it for me, and did so on the last day of the job. . In all things
it was easy to work with Eric. He clearly went out of his way to do the best possible job. My renters
report his workers where great people to be around. 
The finished product is beautiful. It shows excellent craftsmanship and good esthetic sense.
 I have only given him four stars on price because it was a lot for me. I did no price comparison.
I can tell you it was well worth the expense. My property is much enhanced?way more than I expected
when we started. It's beautiful! Eric is a great guy who will go out of his way to do a great job. 

Lindgren Construction is busy, probably because of the overall high ratings. We contacted Eric for an estimate and recommendations about what to do about two sets of leaky French doors. One door had split along the bottom. He went over options and recommended clad doors emphasizing it was more expensive but he felt they'd hold up to the exposure our doors get. His estimate might not be the lowest, but it was fair especially considering the quality of the work and his standards, The work began a few weeks after our first contact. Eric's communication during the work is excellent. He called at the end of each day, texted information about times and next steps. He called to make sure the sub contractors had done work to our satisfaction and that the "work site" was left clean. My wife was impressed by the fact that we would not have known workers had been in our home if not for the the work they had completed. The project required removal of some stucco. Eric consulted with us regarding choices regarding patching the stucco. We decided to go with foam and painting the stucco the trim color, because matching 13 + year old stucco and new paint would be a challenge. The end result looks great. I appreciated Eric's communication, responsiveness to any concerns. He demonstrated a commitment to making sure we were not just satisfied but completely happy. We are not quite done at this writing, but I kept getting e-mails from Angie's List to enter a review. We have been very pleased and Eric has been responsive, committed to getting the job done right and trustworthy, that we felt we could write our review with confidence. Excellent work. Excellent communication. Great service.

It went very well.  The patio was professionally done.  The roofer and the person installing the gutter were also professional.  The work was also very reasonable.  The contractor did an excellent job!

He did a great job, this was done in a timely manner, arranged all the subcontractor work so there was very little work from me and I would recommend him.

Eric did a great job, I am very pleased with the end result.  I called on Saturday, and the job was done Sunday morning.

The amount of work done was more than reasonable for the price.  We had some additional work, for which we paid extra, but that was discussed and agreed to in advanced. As others have stated, Mr. Lindgren is very helpful and flexible in working with you to keep costs down. When he was loading the debris from the demo to haul it away, he noticed we had a pile of stuff we'd been planning to take to the dump, and he offered to take that for us with his load. This was a huge help to us. 
Everyone he sent here to work was friendly, and helpful. Brandon completed way more than I expected on the first day.  Everyone showed up when expected, worked efficiently, and cleaned up after.  

Eric remodeled our bathroom and we are OVERJOYED with the quality of his work. He designed the layout, came at a reasonable price and was on time and on budget. He organizes talented sub-contractors efficiently, provides excellent advice and is easy to get a hold of.
We had 4 or 5 contractors (taken from Angies List) come out to give bids on our bathroom remodel. Everyone except for Eric just looked at our idea for what we *thought* we wanted and gave us their preliminary bid (and their sales pitch). Eric, on the other hand, spent ~1 hour looking at the area we were wanted remodeled to see if there was a better floor plan. After he walked around and bounced ideas off us, he came up with a floor plan we never considered which was MUCH better than what we originally had in mind. That got him the job.

Once we went with him, he provided a well-detailed contract with milestones (a must for anyone!). He didn't go a penny over his price and finished the job on time. (The most painful part of the remodel was getting the Monterey building/water permits... which he wasn't responsible for). Not only that, but he went above and beyond what we were expecting! He got us a large bathroom vanity with GRANITE countertops. He also had new, floor-to-ceiling custom cabinets built for us and also built a shelf for us to stack our washer/dryer to save space. All this within what we could afford (which was not a whole lot since my wife stays at home with our new daughter).

I also want to talk about his workers. All the subcontractors he had come work on my house were extremely considerate, hard-working and did an excellent job cleaning up after themselves. The painter, the plumber, the HVAC guys all were great communicators and quality people (which earned them some freshly-baked cookies from my wife :). His electrician was the only one who was a bit eccentric (to be honest), but he did do good work.

If you are doing any kind of remodel, you would be foolish to not consider Eric to at least come out and take a look.

He was punctual and finished when he said he would.

I had a wood retaining wall which was deteriorating and was getting ready to host a wedding party in the summer. Eric Lindgren came reasonably quickly to assess the job. I asked if it might be best to replace it with stone so that it would last longer. He thought that it could be fixed by replacing a couple of the worst side boards and replacing the top. So he came out with the replacement wood, spent about an hour demolishing the worst of the old sections, and realized the wood was too badly rotted to warrant partial replacement. So we agreed that it should be totally redone. To avoid a total waste of the time, I asked him to cut down a large bush which he dispatched nicely in about half an hour. At that point the 7 hours of labor was used up. I'm sure he was trying to save me money by suggesting a repair of the old wall, but I was disappointed that the assessment of its condition was inaccurate. He bid on the stone wall, but I didn't like the idea of laying some of the stone on top of the existing concrete patio.  He's a very personable guy, and I might be inclined to hire him again for a porch or something.

Everything went better than expected.  Eric was reliable, responsible, and highly competent.  He is a pleasant guy to work with and explained things as he went along.  He is an incredibly hard worker and so is everyone on his crew.  They started on time every morning and stayed with it consistently.  He always made sure to cover exposed areas and crawl spaces (so critters couldn't get in at night) if he had to stop work and pick up the next day.  He's very clean, making sure things were picked up and hauled away.  Eric is very fair and conscientious.  He's communicative and doesn't do anything without the homeowner's permission.   I'm glad to know he can do just about any type of job that needs done -- big or small.  He will be my go-to person for jobs I need done around the house from now on.

This was the second time I called Eric to do some work, and though I didn't think I could be more satisfied with his work, I was wrong. Eric surpassed his previous excellent quality with the new project. This time, I was replacing a window with a door to my patio and installing a light. Eric arrived promptly (actually, early, but more on that later) and began work immediately.
By noon he had removed the window and made the opening. We set the door in place and he was right back at work--I had worried that, since it was a two-day job, I would have to deal with a hole in the wall or cold air seeping in through cracks or a single layer of shingles...but by the time he wrapped up at five, the door was in, the walls repaired, the insulation replaced. All that was left for the second day was the detail work.
On Sunday, he showed up (again, early) and did the detail work--he replaced the exterior shingles, patched the dry wall (taped it, mudded it), put up the molding...and then, because I hadn't gotten around to putting the molding back up around his previous job, he fixed that for me too...
This guy is an artist--he takes real pride in his work and has the skills to get the job done quickly, professionally, and exceeding expectations.
So what's not to love? Right--so here it is: if you make an appointment for say, 8:00 am Saturday morning, DO NOT GO OUT DRINKING THE NIGHT BEFORE!
I get a voicemail at 7:45 am, "Hey, traffic was light--I'm waiting outside..."
Build this into your calculations: THIS GUY IS PROMPT!

I hired Eric through one of Angie's deal offerings. Eric arrived on a Saturday morning and worked quickly and professionally, moving the outlet to a new location with a minimum of damage to the drywall.  My deal through Angie's list was a contractor for a day: seven hours.  Eric finished before lunch and offered to credit the unused hours to future work.  I have asked for a bid on the construction of the closet and expect to do more business with Eric in the near future.

We had a lot of work that needed completed that was unfinished work we had in the house. We had exact specifications that we needed and Eric was able to complete everything as we needed. He is very versatile in his skillset which is a huge value when you have a variety of work that needs to be completed.

 He was very thorough, honest and did an excellent job. We are very pleased with his work ad will have him come back to do more work as needed. I would highly recommend him.

Eric came out and took a look at the job, and scheduled us.  He let us know how long it would take and how much it'd cost and scheduled our job.

On the day of the job, we added some additional work to be done.  Eric and his electrician were able to finish all the work originally bid plus our extra under the original budget and time.   They worked hard and were very intent to make sure that when there were any decisions to be made, they consulted us so that the end result was exactly what we'd wanted.

The work required being in both the dusty crawl space and the attic with loose blown insulation, as well as some drywall cutting. Outdoors, it was a very rainy day when Eric did the work, and required numerous runs to his truck for tools/parts and to work on the outdoor electrical panel.  

Despite the inherently dusty nature of the interior work and the pouring rain, there was no leftover cleanup surprises anywhere --no hidden drywall dust piles, no muddy footprints, nothing.  The usual leftovers of any construction job were either put in our recycling bins or left in the original box of parts we provided (for example, unused parts, instructions, templates, etc). Electrical cutoffs were left in one neat box next to the front door for recycling. Eric left our house nice and clean.  There was no construction debris left over, which was much better than we wereexpecting. This was one of the neatest construction projects we have ever had on our home.

We found Eric really easy to work with.  He listened well and was very focused on making sure the job was completed as we'd wished.  We'll definitely call him again when we have more work to do.

I wanted to widen a doorway (bearing wall) and install a set of French Doors.

After a couple of missed connections, Erick and I set a date for him to come and evaluate the project.

He was on time and very professional. He estimated he could perform the job in the time allotted, and we set a date for the actual job.
 
The day of the job he was on time and ready to go. He took a quick look at the doorway (The sheet rock had been removed so now he could see the studs and header), quickly estimated the lumber needs and we were off to Home Depot.

Though it was not technically part of the job, he also helped transport the doors.

Once we got back, Erick worked like a fiend and eight hours later, I had my doors and they looked better than I had ever hoped!

He did not have time to finish the dry wall (which we knew going in), but he referred me to someone who could finish the job at another time.

 Before he left, we planned my next remodeling job in June because I plan to bring him back for everything now!

I cannot recommend Erick highly enough!

I had various small household repair jobs that had accumulated and hired Mr. Lindgren through Angie's List as a "contractor for a day."  Though he normally handles much larger jobs, he was happy to take care of what I had.  He arrived on time, was trustworthy and friendly, competent and efficient. He finished the projects I had in such short time that I had to think of what other work I could give him!  I remembered I had always wanted to build a raised planter. He used scrap redwood I had, took it home an hour away, sanded the pieces, built a beautiful and solid planter and returned it to me a couple days later. Through Angie's List I was lucky to come upon this jewel of a person who is a skilled contractor with an above-and-beyond work ethic.

Overall, he is very good. He really listens to what we want. His input is great and he has great ideas on how to utilize the space in the best ways possible. He takes my ideas and he invisions ways to make things work. He is also very personable and great to work with!

Eric was always reliable, dependable and professional, arriving every day when he said he would, in spite of driving 1-1/2 hours each way. On the rare occasion that he was going to be late, he called.  In our two experiences with him, eight years apart, we find the quality of his work to be outstanding, as is his work ethic. Both times he presented a written bid and completed the job within that bid.

We absolutely would hire him again and have no hesitation recommending him to others.
