As a Lindquist customer, your true cost of materials will be lower! After over 80 years in the business, we understand the bid process about as well as anyone..its advantages and its flaws. We have succeeded by keeping our promises and building relationships with a loyal following of customers who appreciate and share our business philosophy. We succeed with them as a team by providing the highest level of service at the lowest possible price. The true cost of a project is not really determined until it is complete. It's too often found out later what was excluded, what parts of the specs were loosely interpreted, what substitutions were being proposed, and what level of service can be expected. It's not always easy to calculate losses due to poor performance by a supplier, but those losses are not imagined...they matter in real dollars! The "Lindquist Advantage"... · Our Staff Lindquist Project Mangers are technically trained professionals including industry certified Architectural Hardware Consultants (AHC) and Certified Door Consultants (CDC)...supported by the best distribution team in the industry. · The Lindquist Quotation There are basically two approaches to interpreting specifications... 1) Take advantage of every possible loophole and argue later about who will get hit for the extras, or 2) Clearly indicate what is included, and what exceptions may have been taken. Our quotations are always clear, honest, and complete. · Order Expediting Factory orders are not filed and forgotten. We mark every factory order with a requested delivery date in keeping with your requirements, and routinely check order status. While no distributor can promise complete control over the manufacturing process, we can certainly take steps to limit problems down the road. · Full-Service Delivery All cases are marked with door and item numbers coordinated with our Opening Schedule. We do not "drop-ship" cases of unmarked material. · Field Service Lindquist service technicians will field survey existing conditions to assure conformance with new materials. Our project managers and service department are prepared to promptly respond to any possible field problems. · After-Market Service We provide the end-user with a Lindquist "Owner's Manual" at the close of each project. This document includes helpful information for follow-up service and proper maintenance of our products. This service means fewer call-backs for you, and assures your clients that you have chosen the best for them. · Fast-Track Projects...our specialty! Huge inventory of quality products from the most trusted names in the industry. UL licensed shop for custom modification of metal doors/frames and wood doors.
