Our Story

Building structures, relationships, and memories

Our Work

We keep job sites clean and free of obstructions to improve safety and customer satisfaction. Expect our team to be organized and aligned to all schedules and plans. Our skilled team is respectful and aware that each project is different.

Our Owner

Top Plate Construction is owned by Manuel Nevarez. Married, with five children, he lives in the Yuba-Sutter area. He began working in the construction industry at age 16 and at the time specialized in custom decks, gazebos, and trellises. He moved onto spec homes and home construction after several years. Later he joined the Carpenters Union as a journeyman and completed various projects including schools, parking structures, treatment plants, and bridge-work. He became a foremen, building local schools (AK and Butte Vista), AT&T/Verizon cell phone towers, and custom homes.

Our Community

Years ago, our family made the decision to invest in the Yuba-Sutter Community. We have coached baseball, football, and most recently created Yuba-Sutter Fishing Club.

Our next adventure with the community will be to provide high school and adult students with access to trade experts (builders, electricians, plumbers, etc.). We will develop curriculum to support local students in learning more about the business of building commercial and residential structures.

What People Say About Us

“I want to sincerely thank you for building my dream home. I know this was not your ordinary house as it started out as a remodel and ended up being a new build. I would not have wanted to go through this journey with anyone else. As you know there were challenges and changes (sometime due to my taste) throughout the project. You and your team were truly passionate about doing things right and making sure I was happy with the result. You are always welcome at Wild Oaks Farms!”

“Considering and embarking on what I knew would be a long and challenging remodel of my family home was daunting. I lucked out!  Manuel Nevarez is not only a skilled contractor, but more importantly, a great communicator. It was an amazing journey and I wake up every morning and smile at his work. I could not recommend him more highly!”
