In 1976, Tom Nevares began his journey in the concrete industry as a laborer, learning the trade from the ground up. What started as hands-on experience quickly grew into a deep understanding of residential and commercial concrete projects across the San Diego area.

By the late 1970s, Tom expanded his expertise while working with R.E. Hazard Contracting and L.R. Hubbard Construction, gaining valuable experience in complex highway, bridge, and correctional facility projects. These large-scale jobs sharpened his skills and reinforced his passion for super-structure concrete — a specialty that has remained at the core of his career.

As his reputation for leadership and craftsmanship grew, Tom advanced into foreman and superintendent roles, managing major concrete projects throughout San Diego. Committed to continual improvement, he pursued California State surveyor license preparation courses and further educated himself in drafting and blueprint reading, strengthening both his technical and leadership abilities.

In 1992, Tom turned his vision into reality by obtaining his first sole proprietorship license and launching his own concrete business. He incorporated in 1999, building what is now T.E. Nevares Concrete — a trusted name specializing in all phases of concrete construction, including structural concrete, masonry, and decorative concrete solutions.

From humble beginnings to industry leadership, T.E. Nevares Concrete stands on a foundation of experience, integrity, and craftsmanship.
