History

Established in 2000.

Rob and Katey Atema started Rivertop Contracting nearly 15 years ago. Initially the company consisted of the two of them and Brian Wierman, a longtime friend. With one truck and one bobcat, they focused on final grading jobs. Their high quality, fairly priced work earned them more work and the business has thrived. Today they have more than 25 trucks, a large fleet of various industry equipment, and 80+ employees.

Meet the Business Owner

Rob A.

Business Owner

Rob started Rivertop Contracting and manages the company’s leadership team and the entire operation. He notes he could not have started the business without the help of his wife Katey. Her encouragement and willingness to take up the slack through the throes of startup allowed him to make the company successful.

He provides a focus on company branding, community involvement, and long-​term goals and vision. But he’s quick to tell you he does whatever it takes to get the job done well, and he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty.

Rob recognizes the important of branding. His goal is to enhance his customers’ brand by creating beautiful spaces and well-​manicured grounds while providing the highest level of service in the industry.

Work background includes common wealth development, Carolina Tractor, and working with Mitchell Distributing Company in Asheville in shop management and new business development.
