A. Teichert & Son, Inc.

Company Description:

Our California Contractor’s License number is 8, the oldest active license in the state. Throughout the decades Teichert has stayed on the cutting edge, responding to the needs of our customers, training our employees well, and outfitting our construction equipment with the latest technology for greater job efficiency.

Company History:

Teichert has been building trust throughout our community since we were founded in 1887. Adolph Teichert Sr. told one of his first superintendents that he wanted his business to be known for its honesty – and over the decades, Teichert has earned a reputation for honesty, quality, and care. We take pride in our work, in our people, and in being stalwart members of the community.

Safety Culture:

Our employees are our greatest asset, and safe production is important to every job we perform. Our safe production vision is to create a culture and environment where employees work injury free. Our continued progress in workplace safe production – including each person taking personal responsibility – contributes to our “injury free” culture. “Injury free” is not a goal or a target; it is our commitment to our employees.

Company Values:

Adolph Teichert immigrated to New York from Germany in 1866, and he was recruited by the California Artificial Stone Paving Company in the 1870’s. His craftsmanship was renowned, and some of his earliest work can still be seen in Golden Gate Park and near the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco. He came to Sacramento to work on laying the sidewalks around the original State Capitol building. He then started his own business in 1887 by building walkways, cellar floors, sidewalks, fencing, and other projects. Adolph was joined in the company by one of his four children, Adolph Jr., and the two of them grew the business. Additionally, they helped establish the Northern California Contractors Association – which later became the Northern California chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America.

Over the years, Teichert has grown into a diverse mix of businesses, most notably Teichert Construction and Teichert Materials.
And, with our commitment to our family of employees, high quality of work, strong customer satisfaction, and giving back to the community, Teichert will continue to flourish in the 21st century and beyond.

Company Impact:

For more than 125 years, we have been building the infrastructure most people use every day, including thousands of miles of roads, curbs, gutters, utilities and sidewalks and thousands of acres of site work throughout hundreds of communities around California and the Western US.
