Product overview

Lindstrom Restoration is a family-owned restoration contractor serving the Twin Cities since 1953, offering a unified service portfolio centered on emergency damage restoration. The core offering comprises three interrelated services: Fire Damage Restoration, Water Damage Restoration, and Storm Damage Restoration, all supported by 24/7 Emergency Services for immediate response. The company extends its services through add-on modules including Contents Storage and Cleaning, Board-Up Services, and Home Restoration/Remodeling. Additional specialized offerings include Insurance Claim Assistance (working directly with insurers), Property Manager Disaster Response Services with free emergency response plans, Smoke Odor Removal (with five-year warranty), and Plumbing/Electrical/Sewer Inspections.
