Meet the Builder Behind Alterra​
Paris Tenorio founded Alterra Builders with a simple goal: deliver quality craftsmanship with direct, personalized service.

With hands-on experience in residential construction, Paris has worked on projects ranging from detailed remodels to ground-up residential builds and fine finish carpentry.

At Alterra, he remains closely involved in every project — managing work on-site, maintaining clear communication, and ensuring each detail is completed with care. By partnering with a trusted network of skilled subcontractors, he helps bring each client’s vision to life with accountability and precision.

As a Truckee native, Paris understands the unique demands of building in the Sierra.
