Family-Owned Since 1997
Started in a garage on the south side. Still run the same way.
Dave and Karen Lindqvist started Northstar out of a 1997 Ford Transit and a two-car garage in south Minneapolis. They had one rule: never send a tech to a job they would not be proud to put their name on.
Twenty-seven years later, we run 18 trucks across the metro. Dave still answers the phone on Saturday mornings. Karen still reviews every invoice before it goes out. The rule has not changed.
We hire slow. We train long. Every technician on our crew is NATE-certified, background-checked, and carries a photo ID they will show you at the door before they come inside. That is not a policy, that is how we would want it if it were our own house.
We charge what we quote. We show up when we say. That is the whole business.
