In 2011, with 25 years of collective experience in the Construction Industry in both the Midwest and California, we (brothers Brian and Brad Dalinghaus) decided to form a new business to focus primarily on home-remodeling and real estate investment properties in Southern California. Our craftsmanship quickly became recognized and admired by many and our referrals grew rapidly, by word of mouth, from our satisfied home-owners and investment partners.
Additionally, we also began to be referred by leading engineering, architectural, and real estate professionals, in both the Residential and Commercial markets, who had seen the quality of the workmanship and experienced project management we had put into our projects. This lead to expanding and developing those relationships into a mutual reliability for project completion and quality assurance.
Indeed, it was this continual referral from the professionals that led us to formally expand our business in 2015 to include foundation repair work as a standard offering. This led to major growth in our Commercial segment and, as our company grew, we added several key players with specialist skills in this arena, such that our team can now boast over 50 years of collective experience in Southern California alone.
We have always taken pride in our determination to complete a project quickly and efficiently, but to that we can now offer a portfolio which includes the ability to deliver a full and comprehensive project fix, be it a teardown, a foundation stabilization or repair, a total or partial home remodel or simply adding the finishing touches to your kitchen or bath.

Many jobs in California will require municipal permits in order to be approved by the town's inspector. It's always good to ask who will be responsible for pulling those permits, and if you'll be expected to do it. You'll almost never be told to pull your own, but knowing that Lake Elsinore Concrete permits are required makes you appear to be a well informed customer.
This will be answered when you ask if all employees are licensed. The only way to obtain a legitimate tradesman's license is to be a legal or naturalized citizen of the US. The company may employ people in positions that don't require a license, however, so it's wise to inquire.
This really only matters if you have a preference, but it is good to ask. If you have a strong ideological belief about unions or nonunions, it's perfectly acceptable to make a decision based on the preference.
You'll always want to ask how long the company has been in business in Lake Elsinore. While this isn't a guarantee that the company will do good work, companies with longevity on their side must be doing something right. That being said, there are newer companies that do great work. If the company is under three years old, ask where the owner was employed before and for how long. If he/she has a long history of employment, it's reasonable to infer that he or she decided to go into business for themselves after so many years of experience.
This is important mostly for larger jobs. Clearly a two man operation is going to build a home much slower than a 15 man crew. This is also a good indication of the overall size of the Concrete company, if that's an area of concern for you. The reason you may want to ask about the fleet is that fleet size is a good indicator of the mobility of the company. Mobility may not sound important, but it's hard for the Lake Elsinore contractors to get to job sites if they lack appropriate vehicles.
