History of Dalke Construction
In 1919, Thomas Dalke established his company, Tom Dalke & Sons, as a quality construction company throughout Oregon's communities.
Over 100 years later, the company, now Dalke Construction Co., Inc., is renowned for its integrity, commitment, strong work ethic, and construction industry know-how. Larry, a third-generation Dalke, has picked up the proud tradition established by his grandfather, Thomas, and continues to this day to build a company that is a source of pride in the cities and towns across the Willamette Valley. Cousins, Scott Dalke and Tracie Farnsworth, both fourth-generation Dalke’s, have joined Larry in ownership as of 2022.
At Dalke, everyone is family, and we are attentive to and respect the ideas and project inputs of all our clients. Dalke employees are loyal, experienced, and team-oriented. Our employee retention rates remain very high because we show that we value our people. Several of our key employees have been with us for over 20 years, building a team culture that is resilient and close-knit.
Our many years of experience in all types of building construction have earned us a strong portfolio of satisfied and dedicated customers.
