RUPPERT, INC.

PO Box 1921, Truckee, CA 96160 ruppertinc.com | 530.587.4509

The company was founded in 2005 by three brothers, Josh Nate and Tim Ruppert. Almost immediately they began to take enough work to maintain 25 to 30 full-time employees. They did a large variety of work including framing, excavation, commercial snow removal, interior and exterior remodels, defensible space, structural and ornamental steel fabrication and more. As the company grew, it became more evident that it would be more effective to split the operations into two separate companies. Josh acquired a different contractor’s license in 2015 and started Josh Ruppert Construction and most of the framing and general building construction went with him. Most recently, Josh has acquired Johnson Iron Inc., and operates that as a structural steel division. Nate and Tim mostly limited their operation of Ruppert, Inc. to the general engineering and snow removal, with a few select residential, general building projects included throughout the years. The maintenance and upkeep of the equipment consists of a 2-to-4-employee shop that does all the service and repairs in house as well as custom fabrication of truck bodies and equipment implements. Ruppert, Inc. runs an average of 20 summer employees and 10 to 15 offseason/winter employees.
