Brian Dalinghaus
Brian Dalinghaus co-founded Dalinghaus Construction with his brother Brad in Southern California in 2011. The brothers built the company on a Midwest work ethic and a single standard for every job: Never Settle.
Brian grew up on his family's farm in Seneca, Kansas, and graduated from Kansas State University in 2004. He entered the foundation repair industry in 2005 as a general laborer, learning the trade from the ground up before starting the company with Brad.
Today the company has completed more than 2,000 foundation repair projects across California, Arizona, and Nevada, with every repair starting from measured floor elevations rather than guesswork.
