The Settling Saga: A Dance of Stone and Soil in Your New Home

The Settling Saga: A Dance of Stone and Soil in Your New Home

Imagine for a moment that your new house is a dancer. As the music begins to play, it moves in a carefully choreographed performance. It twists, it turns, it swells, and it shrinks. This, dear readers, is the little-known ballet of home construction, a spectacle led by the maestro, settlement.

Today, we’re chatting with the seasoned virtuoso of this dance, Dave Linna, Senior Project Manager of New Home Construction at Paraprin Construction. With over 30 years of experience crafting stunning homes across the beautiful landscapes of northern Ohio, Dave is here to guide us through the unsung steps of the settling process.

“A house,” Dave begins, “is a living, breathing organism.” With this striking image, he reminds us that like any creature, a home evolves, adapting to its environment and the rhythms of its inhabitants. “More moisture moves in when a family does. Turn on the heat in winter, it gets drier.” The house, it seems, is continually adjusting to its environment, a delicate ballet of change.

This dance extends to the great outdoors, where the stage is set even before the first brick is laid. Dave explains, “When a new home is built, the excavating process disrupts the soil. Soil that’s been sitting there undisturbed, compacted and hardened by decades, even centuries, of weather.” This disruption, like a stir in the orchestra pit, signals the beginning of the performance.

“The basement over-dig, water, sewer, gas line installations – these elements, especially when coupled with significant rains, lead to settlement and a churned-up chorus of stone and rock on the surface.”

And like any masterpiece, this process takes time. “It’s most noticeable in the first year but can continue beyond that. That’s why we often use stone for backfill. It’s part of the dance, the natural rhythm of new home construction.”

There’s a comforting harmony in Dave’s words. Yes, settlement may seem like a nerve-wracking part of the homebuilding process, but under the skilled guidance of Paraprin Construction, it’s just another step in the dance.

“Remember,” Dave says as he concludes our chat, “settlement is completely normal for new home construction. It’s all part of the dance.” With that, we’re reminded that each twist and turn, every rise and fall, contributes to the final bow: a house transformed into a home, a stage set for a lifetime of memories.

So, dear readers, let’s appreciate the dance. Embrace the natural rhythm of your new home as it settles into its role, and know that this movement, this dance, is a sign of a performance beautifully executed. After all, it’s being led by the virtuosos at Paraprin Construction.

“There are a myriad of talented builders who can craft a gorgeous house,” Dave admits, his candor refreshing, “but at Paraprin, we go a step further. We create homes filled with personality, each one a mirror of its owner & their desires. The difference? It’s our personal touch.”

With a chuckle, he adds, “I often joke with our clients that by the end of the project, they’ll be seeing me in their dreams & they’ll probably be tired of it – we’re practically married! But when we finally hand over the keys to a stunning new home, a place that’ll serve as their family’s hub for years to come, it’s worth every moment.”

But the magic that is Paraprin extends beyond personal interaction. From superior materials to innovative construction techniques, Paraprin insists on excellence at every turn. “Every home we build is a testament to quality.

And I can’t forget Jon Sherer, our COO, whose two decades of tireless work in new home construction forms the backbone of our operation & is Paraprin Construction’s undisputed leader.”

4 Main Reasons Behind New Home Construction Delays and How to Mitigate Them

Navigating the Uncontrollable: 4 Main Reasons Behind New Home Construction Delays and How Paraprin Construction Mitigates Them

Building a new home is akin to taking an exciting, albeit unpredictable, journey. No matter how meticulously you plan, certain elements remain out of your control, especially when it comes to timelines. Today, we have the privilege of talking with Dave Linna, the Senior Project Manager Over New Home Construction at Paraprin Construction, about the four main reasons why new home construction can be delayed in northern Ohio.

Dave has been crafting high-quality, bespoke homes for over three decades. Now, under the guidance of Dave and his team, Paraprin Construction consistently delivers, combining superior craftsmanship with an unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction. They understand the highs and lows of the homebuilding process and always aim to make the journey as enjoyable and stress-free as possible for their clients.

1. Unpredictable Weather

“Northern Ohio is known for its weather unpredictability, which can delay construction timelines,” Dave tells us. “Storms, snow, or excessive rain can hinder site work, foundation laying, framing, and exterior finishes.”

Mitigation: Dave explains that Paraprin Construction combats weather delays by keeping a close eye on weather patterns and adjusting schedules proactively. “We also use weather-resistant materials and methods wherever possible to lessen weather-related impacts on construction,” he adds.

2. Labor Shortages

“In recent years, labor shortages in the construction industry have posed significant challenges,” says Dave. “They can cause delays, increase costs, and impact the quality of work.”

Mitigation: Paraprin Construction maintains a solid network of skilled, reliable subcontractors, built over years by the careers of their dedicated employees. They’re also committed to workforce development initiatives to help cultivate the next generation of builders. Dave assures us, “Our strong relationships and continuous efforts to employ skilled workers mitigate labor shortage-related delays, but unfortunately the entire industry is struggling to fill critical, skilled roles.”

3. Supply Chain Issues

Dave tells us, “Material shortages or delays can arise due to numerous global factors, which can cause unanticipated delays and cost overruns.”

Mitigation: According to Dave, Paraprin Construction leverages its extensive network of suppliers and always maintains a buffer in project timelines for potential material-related delays. “We also explore high-quality alternative materials when necessary to keep the project on track.”

4. Permit Delays

“The time it takes to obtain building permits can be unpredictable and vary significantly, causing delays,” Dave explains.

Mitigation: With several employees amassing decades of combined industry experience, Paraprin Construction has deep-rooted relationships with local authorities. “Our experience and connections help us expedite the permitting process. We also take the time to ensure all applications are correctly filled out the first time to avoid unnecessary delays,” shares Dave.

Building a home may seem like a rollercoaster ride, but with a seasoned partner like Paraprin Construction, you’re not just in good hands; you’re in the best hands. This team’s vast experience, unwavering dedication to quality, and unparalleled problem-solving capabilities make them your reliable companion on this thrilling journey.

Your dream home awaits, and Paraprin Construction is ready to make that dream a reality, irrespective of the challenges that come our way. Let’s embark on this journey together.

Next up, we delve into the underrated world of concrete with Keith Oberg Sr., Paraprin Construction’s Director of Concrete Solutions. To Keith, concrete isn’t just a building material; it’s the strong and sturdy canvas upon which a home’s story unfolds.

Once the concrete has set, and the construction is complete, the final brush strokes of your home’s masterpiece are applied through landscaping. That’s where Zach James, Paraprin Construction’s Sr. Project Manager over Landscaping Services, comes into play.

Now, here are some quick and easy tips based on our experts’ advice:

1. Good Value: Don’t get swayed by the cheapest quote. Remember Dave’s wisdom, good value lies in the longevity, craftsmanship, and fit of your home.
2. Top Materials: Choose quality, especially when it comes to basics like concrete. Keith’s words echo here, “It’s about building a legacy.”
3. Quality Craftsmanship: Select a builder with proven expertise. You’re not just building a home; you’re crafting a future.
4. Finishing Touches: Don’t neglect the landscaping. It frames your home, ties it into the environment, and truly makes your house a home.

Unearth the Unbeatable Quality of Paraprin Construction: Discover the Art of Stamped Concrete

Unearth the Unbeatable Quality of Paraprin Construction: Discover the Art of Stamped Concrete

As the summer sun climbs higher in the sky, it’s time to turn our attention to those outdoor spaces that have languished during the chilly winter months. Today, I have the privilege of introducing you to an industry leader who is transforming our understanding of concrete construction. Let’s dive into the world of Paraprin Construction, a name synonymous with quality and style in the home-building industry, with a special focus on their exquisite work with concrete and stamped concrete patios.

Paraprin Construction, proudly headquartered in Cleveland, is designing and constructing captivating homes between Cleveland and Sandusky. One of their mottos? Quality comes standard. This belief reflects in their choice of materials, as they use high-end components that many other builders would only offer as expensive upgrades.

Keith Oberg Sr., the head of Paraprin Concrete, is a stalwart in this industry. With over 30-years of experience under his belt, he has become a well-trusted and highly respected figure in northern Ohio’s concrete scene. Today, we delve into Keith’s insights on concrete and the growing trend of stamped concrete patios.

When asked about the process of creating a stamped concrete patio, Keith spoke with enthusiasm, “The magic begins with freshly poured concrete. Then, using specially designed tools, we imprint patterns before the concrete dries. It’s a meticulous process, but the result is a stunning, high-quality, durable, and custom-designed patio.”

Keith and his team are currently preparing for a stamped concrete patio for a stunning new home in Cold Creek Crossing, Sandusky. “The home’s exterior is going to be just as magnificent as the interior, thanks to this patio,” Keith confidently shared.

Stamped concrete has its charm, but how does it compare to regular concrete? According to Keith, “Stamped concrete gives you the option to achieve the same aesthetic appeal as more expensive materials like stone or wood, but with the durability of concrete. This decorative treatment is not only affordable but also offers a level of customization that traditional concrete simply cannot match.”

Keith also elaborated on the versatility of the company, stating, “At Paraprin, we pride ourselves on offering a complete range of concrete solutions. From constructing beautiful new homes to crafting stamped concrete patios and pool sides, or paving commercial parking lots, our team’s skill set covers all concrete-related needs.”

Paraprin Construction’s commitment to quality and versatility, coupled with Keith’s extensive experience and passion for the craft, undeniably makes them among the best concrete solutions providers in the region.

Friends, the sun is out, and it’s the prime season for concrete pouring. Whether you’re thinking of a new patio for those summer barbecues, a poolside for the kids to splash around, or a stunning new driveway, now is the time to book your slot with Paraprin Construction. Slots are filling fast so don’t miss your opportunity to work with the best in the business.
