VersaGrade, Inc. is a RENO locally owned and operated A License – General Engineering Contractor serving in Nevada.
Immediately upon graduating from California State University At Chico in 1986, with a degree in Construction Engineering, Bob Fehling was hired by one of the nation’s top heavy-civil construction contractors. He spent 10 years travelling the U.S. with a team of talented and skilled engineers and managers to build several large public works projects including earthen dams, bridges, interstates and tunnels. These unique experiences allowed Bob to develop the skills and knowledge to plan, execute, and complete large scale projects with efficiency. In an attempt to settle in one area, Bob went to work for a general engineering contractor in Salt Lake City, UT that specialized in deep foundation systems and slope stabilization. After a couple of years in this arena, Bob wanted to move westward to be closer to his family. He accepted a general manager position with a new start-up company (Incorporated in 1995) Silverado Excavating in 1998, and purchased the company in 2002. As of December 1, 2018, Silverado Excavating merged into VersaGrade, Inc.
At VersaGrade, our primary strength is our talented people. Our team is built on quality leadership with close relationships to our employees – some relationships spanning decades.

Our focus on customer service is aligned with our mission statement “To provide construction services that exceed our customers’ expectations.” We place highly talented people in the right positions.
Operating a long-term successful business in Nevada is due in part to the community support we have received over the years. We are both honored and blessed for the many community relationships we continue to develop. Contributing to and supporting numerous local programs as well as some national programs is a privilege and is as important to us as anything we do.
