Atlas Contractors, Inc.
Atlas Contractors, Inc is a General Engineering Construction Company and has been contracting under its current name since September of 1982. Jim Mahoney, founded Atlas in Long Beach California in 1946 starting with just a skip loader. Jim liked to keep the company small and personal. Later, Jim's son Jay moved to Truckee, CA and began JJ Mahoney and Son. Jay began by sealing driveways in and around the Truckee - Tahoe area. Jim's company, Atlas Engineering and Construction, relocated to Truckee, CA in 1978. Jim and Jay combined the two companies in 1982, renaming the combination, Atlas Contractors, Inc. Atlas Contractors mostly built small driveways along with random paving jobs. Soon Jay's brother Clay, along with some of Jay's close friends joined Atlas making the company what it is today.
Atlas Contractors, Inc. now consists of two full time paving crews, seven grading crews (fine and mass grading), eight underground crews, three asphalt plants (two 400 ton per hour asphalt plants, one North of Reno and the second is 15 min. East of Reno, our third 130 ton per hour asphalt plant is just outside of Carson City), and approximately 200 employees. We pride ourselves in doing things right the first time, efficiently, with customer service always in mind. As a result many of our customers and clients choose to work with Atlas on their future projects. Atlas is a non-union company but can run certified payroll, and bids on prevailing wage projects frequently. We look forward to hearing from you.
