"I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the recent retaining wall replacement project completed by John Krause Construction (JKC) at my property. After reading positive reviews and receiving an estimate that, although over my budget, seemed reasonable for the work involved, I made the decision to hire JKC. Unfortunately, this has proven to be a significant mistake, and I am left extremely disappointed with both the quality of work and the overall experience. Here are the main issues I encountered: 1. Unprofessional Behavior: The crew exhibited unacceptable behavior while working on my property. Not only did I witness them disposing of bodily fluids on-site, but they were also disrespectful and dismissive. when I raised concerns no response was received. I now smell urine when entering and exiting my garage. 2. Unresponsive Ownership: I have attempted to reach out to the owner multiple times to address these concerns and resolve the issues, but my messages have been met with silence. This lack of communication is incredibly frustrating and has only added to my disappointment. The owner refused to speak on the phone since the owner was made aware of the call being recorded. 3. Property Damage: During the construction process, my property was left damaged in multiple areas. This included e.g., landscaping destruction, equipment damage. Personal crew members vehicles being driven through my yard leaving deep tire marks damage. 4. Subpar Quality of Work: Despite the high cost of the project, the final result does not meet the standards outlined in the estimate or contract. No proper grading was completed. Every time it rains pools of water sits in front and behind the wall. The response received was. “we have passed all inspections. There will be some water pooling while it is settling still. Plus the fact of the hard rain today, it will happen.” The wall has been completed for 2 months. Given the extensive problems, stress and anxiety I have faced. I do not recommend John Krause Construction."

"Our review is based on the purchase (part 1) for replacing siding for both side of our home. Jacob L. was very professional, on time, and honest. He knows what he is selling. We learned a lot about our home during his presentation. Before we bought our home we paid for a professional home inspection. We thought our house inspector was very good but he did miss something---the siding on the sides of our home was installed extremely bad. Jacob pointed out so much that we just didn't know and should have be caught during our home inpection. Thanks Jacob!!"

"Linares Construction proved to be a high-quality, high-integrity business.

The cost of Dryvit stucco varies depending on factors such as the size of your home, its design complexity, and the chosen finish options. Your stucco contractor can provide a precise quote based on the specifics and complexity of your project. Professional installation is crucial for maximizing the performance and ensuring the lasting durability of your stucco siding.
Maintaining your stucco is easy with a few simple steps. Periodically wash it with a garden hose, avoiding high-powered pressure washers that could damage the finish. Start from the bottom and spray upward, then rinse back down. Don't forget to regularly inspect your stucco for cracks or holes and repair them promptly to maintain its appearance.
The primary difference between stucco and parging lies in their purpose and application. Stucco is a full exterior wall finish that provides aesthetic appeal and insulation for your home. Parging, on the other hand, is a protective coating applied to foundations and lower walls to prevent moisture and pest infiltration. While parging focuses on structural protection, stucco offers a decorative and durable finish for entire walls.
Common issues with stucco include water absorption, which can lead to efflorescence— a white, powdery substance — cracking, and occasionally mold or stains in damp conditions. These problems often result from environmental factors or installation errors. Regular inspections and timely repairs can help keep your stucco in top shape and prevent costly damage.
The best type of stucco for extreme weather conditions is synthetic stucco. It offers enhanced durability and resistance to rapid temperature changes and extreme conditions. Synthetic stucco performs well in harsh climates, minimizing the risks of cracking and moisture penetration to ensure your home stays protected even in severe environmental conditions.
In addition to stucco, there are several alternative siding options to consider. These include metal, wood, brick, stone veneer, vinyl, and fiber cement siding. Each comes with unique benefits. For example, vinyl is cost-effective and low-maintenance, while wood provides a natural aesthetic. The best choice depends on your design preferences, durability needs, and maintenance considerations.
