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.

ESTIMATOR | Project Manager

Robert Covey is a third-generation native of St. Helena. Although he grew up dragging tools around job sites and riding heavy equipment next to his father in the backyard, he never thought he’d discover his own passion in construction.

Robert formally joined the construction industry and family business in 2011 and currently serves as an Estimator and Project Manager for Taylor Bailey Construction, Inc.

Robert is certified in Construction Management from the University of California, Davis and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History from Sonoma State University. He received his 'Class A' General Contractors License from the State of California License Board in 2016 and has been a member of the Operating Engineers Local Union #3 since 2013.
