Meet the Team

A Proud Temecula Valley residence since 1989, Armando has seen much growth in the valley. With growth comes opportunities.
Mando for short, is a newlywed having remarried in 2016. He now claims 6 children 3 his and 3 hers, a total of 9 grandchildren with the 10 th on the way as of Aug. 2019. Spending time with family is important. He likes to get together with kids whenever they have time and are willing.
Armando began his construction education at Cal Poly Pomona majoring in Civil Engineering. After completing several semesters, he felt building was more his liking. He transitioned to and completed the 4-year apprenticeship training program provided by Carpenters local 209. Attending Rio Hondo College to gain his certificate as a journeyman Carpenter. As a carpenter he held several positions from apprentice to the final position of foreman. He learned to read and interpret blue prints, decipher sectional views and understand what the architect or engineer is trying to do. Practical application of the designs comes from experience and techniques learned in the trades. Mando brings the technical knowledge as well as practical application to the projects he is involved in. Whether it’s a commercial multi-story building or your very own castle. Mando brings a problem-solving mindset to every endeavor. Armando is our highest ranked project specialist with 5-star ratings being his normal rank. He always uses his listening abilities to help the homeowner or contractor work to find the best solution to their needs. Mando believes in the homeowner. They are a far better reference to what they see in their own home compared to a 60-minute inspection.

Axle started dabbling in construction as a young kid with his grandfather.  Lee Wagner has been doing all types of construction work for well over 30 years.  Axle learned a little bit from various trades as a young kid and has always excelled quickly in his challenges.  After a couple of years in college he decided to go back to his roots in the construction industry.  Axle was born in the state of Washington and enjoys spending time with his family.  He strives to be the best example as a father and husband as possible.

I started working in the construction industry for a company that installed ATM’s. I have also worked in the casino business and have helped run Comic Con shows in Hawaii and in Texas. My dream is to go back to school and get my BSN to become a NICU nurse. I enjoy working in my garden and cooking with the fruit and vegetables I grow.

Carlos has been working with foundations since 2008. He began in Iowa installing everything from waterproofing & sumps to piers & tie-backs in basement walls. After migrating west to Southern California he continued working in the foundation repair industry, growing his knowledge of the issues that many homes face. He started out as a crew support in 2008, became a foreman in 2009, and then enlisted in the US Army in 2012. Continuing his career he joined the Dalinghaus family where he is currently a Field Manager. He states that everyday is a learning experience as he continues to help not only serve his country but also the families and households experiencing foundation damage.

Since joining the Dalinghaus Construction Team, Carlos has completed extensive training on product knowledge, installation procedures, and understanding the value of the services that we provide to you and your project.

Having the stigma to “Never Settle” with sub par recommendations, repairs, or craftsmanship is part of why Carlos chooses to treat his customer’s like they were one of his own family. Carlos looks forward to working with you on your construction project.

Paul brings a strong background in sales, service, and business development experience from the telecommunications, construction, and foundation repair industries. Since purchasing his first fixer-upper in 1999, Paul discovered his love of home remodeling. "I see the potential in every property no matter its condition, and enjoy the transformation and creative experience each unique project brings."  In 2010, Paul began consulting for his family's real estate investment firm, overseeing projects from asset acquisition to renovation management, and has been in the construction industry full-time since.

Prior to joining Dalinghaus, Paul has had extensive experience in designing solutions for hundreds of foundation repair, seismic retrofitting, crawl space encapsulation, concrete leveling, and soils stabilization projects. Continued professional development, in-field training, and collaborating with Southern California's best Structural & Geotechnical Engineers are a few of the ways Paul ensures he delivers the best solution for his clients. 

In his spare time, Paul enjoys a variety of activities including golfing, camping, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, home remodeling, & discovering new wines. He also loves traveling with his wife and two boys to the Hawaiian Islands and exploring mountains throughout California.

He is a highly motivated analytic thinker and very detailed oriented. He utilizes several years of training with regards to problem solving techniques to offer a viable solution for repairs. He takes much pride and ownership for the work that he does, passing this along to commercial clients as well as residential homeowners.
