Robert C. ‘Bob’ Covey

OWNER

A decade after Robert Mondavi established Napa Valley's first post-prohibition winery in 1966, Bob Covey began working on the front lines of Napa Valley and the North Bay's construction industry. For over forty years, he has developed some of the most notable wineries, vineyards, civic and residential projects in the area. 

Born and raised in St. Helena, the heart of Napa County, Bob has a hardworking reputation and extensive personal and professional knowledge of the Napa Valley. He has built the last half of his career at Taylor Bailey Construction, Inc. and has been instrumental in the company’s growth and stability. Bob joined Taylor Bailey in 2000, after having spent twenty-three years at Harold Smith & Sons General Contracting as a Foreman and Operator. He has worked in nearly every capacity of the sub-contracting construction business from Estimator and Operations Manager to his current role as Owner and Managing Director.
