floors, sidewalks, fencing, and other projects. The original Teichert stamp can still be seen imprinted in many sidewalks throughout many neighborhoods in the region. Adolph was joined in the company by one of his four children, Adolph Jr., and the two of them grew the business. Over the years, Teichert has grown into a diverse mix of businesses, most notably Teichert Construction and Teichert Materials. Teichert Construction holds California State Contractor’s License #8, the oldest active contractor’s license in California. Additionally, the Teicherts helped establish the Northern California Contractors Association - which later became the Northern California chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America. Since the 90s, the underground section of the company has been held together by Jalisco’s northern region known as Los Altos de Jalisco and its neighboring towns of Jalos, Tecua, and San Juan.
