Nordby Companies

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Wendell Franklin Nordby Jr., founder of Nordby Construction Company.

For more than four decades, Wendell’s vision, determination, and character shaped this company. He believed that success was measured not only by the projects completed, but also by the relationships built, the way people were treated, and the difference made in the community. The values he established—integrity, hard work, craftsmanship, generosity, and respect for others—remain at the heart of Nordby Companies today.

Wendell’s commitment to helping others extended far beyond the company. Whether he was raising funds, helping establish programs for people rebuilding their lives, or personally serving those affected by disasters, he consistently lived by a simple belief: “It’s all about others.”

To many, Wendell was a founder, mentor, and friend. To his family, he was so much more. We are incredibly proud of the life he lived and the example he set. His presence will be deeply missed, but his influence and legacy will continue through his family, Nordby Companies, our people, and the community he cared so deeply about.

We are grateful for the outpouring of support, kindness, and understanding during this difficult time.

A Celebration of Life will be held on October 11 at 2:00 p.m. at Hessel Church, 5060 Hessel Avenue, Sebastopol, CA.

Today marks 25 years since the 9/11 attack. Sending our condolences to those affected and our gratitude to the heroes who lost their lives saving people. Thank you for your service.

This past weekend, Nordby Construction was honored to attend the 19th Annual Harvest STOMP at Opus One W**ery as a distinguished sponsor — joining the Napa Valley Grapegrowers community in raising $2.3 million to protect and advance Napa Valley's agricultural future.

What makes this partnership especially meaningful is that Nordby is currently building the Napa Valley Grapegrowers' new headquarters on Highway 29 in Oakville. To support this organization both on the jobsite and in the community is exactly the kind of involvement we value most. We are deeply invested in the work they do and excited to see what comes next for Harvest STOMP and the Napa Valley Grapegrowers as an organization.

Nordby Construction is looking for talented construction professionals to join our team and work on iconic projects throughout Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties.

If you’re ready to build something exceptional with a great team, we’d love to hear from you.

"Will work for gas money."

Mason Nordby showed up at Troy's job site Friday morning at 6:30AM with his PPE on ready to work.

The construction industry is facing a real challenge. A generation of skilled tradespeople is approaching retirement, and the question of who fills that gap is one our industry is grappling with. If the next generation is willing to show up and do the work, and we are willing to lead and trust them, we have nothing to worry about.

A big thanks to Analy High School who offered construction classes and an OSHA 10 certification in school. We love to see it.

Since its founding in 1981, Auction Napa Valley has raised more than $245 million for the Napa community. Last weekend at the newly renovated Robert Mondavi W**ery, the Nordby team was proud to be in the room for another remarkable chapter of that story. This year's proceeds crossed the $250 million mark in total funds raised.

Hats off to Napa Valley Vintners for the incredible work they do every year putting on this amazing event. This year's proceeds support the Youth Wellness Initiative, various Napa school wellness centers, after-school programs, local mental health services, and family resources through partners like the Boys & Girls Clubs, Mentis, Girls on the Run, and the Napa Valley Education Foundation.

New project breaking ground!

The Napa Valley Grapegrowers have spent decades championing the farmers and families behind one of the world's great w**e regions. Now they are getting a headquarters worthy of that legacy. Nordby Construction is honored to be building their new office on Highway 29 in Oakville.

This two story modern farmhouse office is nestled in the corner of the iconic Beckstoffer To Kalon vineyard. We could not be more proud to be their construction partner and work with some of our favorite design experts at Taylor Lombardo Architects and Applied Civil Engineering.

The structural steel going up on our boutique hotel project in Napa Valley is the foundation on which every great detail will eventually rest. We love this phase of a build. When the vision stops being a drawing and starts becoming something real.
