"Very happy I found these folks. Scheduling was a challenge resulting from the pandemic, but once they were able to start, it was flurry of high quality professional work. All the folks are great people and I enjoyed having them on site. The price was very reasonable and did not change from the initial quote. Great job!"
"I hired Dalinghaus Construction to install two push Piers for a freestanding column/wall (bad clay soil causing movement). I meet with Kevin to go over the scope of work and he explained everything in detail. The price was the best I can find. Took one extra day to finish the work, but they did not charge me any additional fees. 3 month later, I had a feeling that the column/wall is moving again and call Kevin. He show up in a few days and show me there is no way that wall is still moving and he was right. They are very good at what they do and customer service is the best. Thank you very much."
"Hector was very professional in providing estimates and answering question during during the survey. I would recommend him to others that might be considering similar services."

"Extremely professional. Weber Services is owned and operated by a Certified Engineer, lending a high level of confidence to the proposal, estimated completion, and any additional work that may need to be required. Mr. Travis Weber personally bid the job, came to the job site three times during the work, and provided our home with matching concrete work from what was previously installed by the builder. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
"Dylan accepted my job offer during a challenging time of wild winter weather. He showed up on time, communicated well throughout the process, and worked diligently. I truly appreciate his efforts! I wish it had been possible to remove all the ice from the rain gutters, too, but we didn’t want to risk damaging them as they were rock solid. Thank you, Dylan."
"John and his crew did an excellent job of painting the whole exterior of the house. They did everything John said they would do plus. Everything was better than I expected. I would recommend John and his crew to anyone that needs a house painted."
"Dakotah Construction was able to install a concrete in my property. The work was competent and the price was reasonable. In addition, they were able to work with minimal supervision and were able to deal with some fairly sticky officials (who were just doing their job, I guess). We negotiate contracts on a Request for Proposal basis. When we do our next project that requires concrete or excavation work, Dakotah Construction will definitely be at the top of the list of invitees."
Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.
Whether you’re installing brick siding over a traditionally-framed home or you’re using genuine brick construction to build, the biggest downside of a brick house is the higher cost you’ll pay for the materials and labor. Real brick construction also means your home build will take longer, as it’s more time-consuming to construct brick walls than it is to frame out your home.
They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering compared to concrete or asphalt.
Yes, brick can breathe through limewash. Limewash is a breathable coating made from natural lime and water, allowing moisture to pass through while providing a protective layer. Unlike synthetic paints or sealants, which can trap moisture within the brick and lead to issues like mold, limewash allows the brick to maintain its natural breathability. This characteristic makes limewash an ideal choice for historic structures where preserving the integrity of the brick is essential.
Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength.
