NEWLOOK History

NEWLOOK is a second generation design | construction | development company.  Started by Dale Freiburger, the company was originally known as Newlook Exteriors.  Dale started the company with a few tools, 1 truck, and the commitment to doing his best on every project.  On one of NEWLOOK’S early jobs, a client of Dale’s told him: ‘you really take pride in your work, you should put that on your card’ and he did.  As NEWLOOK started to grow, adding masons and skilled craftsman to the staff, the personalized service, hard work, honesty, and integrity of every project has always been the backbone of our business.  As a family owned company, we treat all clients and employees like they are family.  Many of our own field crew have been with NEWLOOK for over 20 years!

 

Continued Growth

NEWLOOK, the company, grew with the Freiburger family.  Individual small masonry jobs started turning into larger masonry jobs with annual contracts with organizations like Loyola Academy, NBD Bank, and Tenneco International.  During this continual growth, Newlook Exteriors began adding additional general contracting services.  Simultaneous with the company growth was the second generation Freiburger learning what it takes to get projects done with the tools first in the field, before studying related academic fields.
