About Blue Ladder Projects
Blue Ladder Projects has evolved over the past 20 years from a developer and a custom home builder to a full-service renovation contractor. Today, renovations and remodels are our areas of speciality and they are areas we excel within. But we're not comfortable with just excelling, as an organization we want to transform the normal approach to renovations by offering fixed pricing and creating something new in this sector that our customers are going to love. We know it's a challenge, but we're ready for it and eager to overcome it.
At Blue Ladder Projects, we owe our continued success and growth to the hard work and dedication of the people who make up our team. We reward our team with a culture akin to a family that is underpinned by our values of Truth, Accountability, Transparency, Safety, Community, Teamwork, Innovation and Creativity, Pride and Quality, and having fun. If this feels like an environment that you could thrive within and you're eager to take on a role where no two days will be alike, then we want to hear from you.
