Our History

Paden & Bletscher Construction was founded in 2012 by industry veterans Rick Paden and Steve Bletscher. With over 50 years of combined experience in the construction industry, our founders have a wealth of expertise and a commitment to quality craftsmanship.

Our Legacy

We are proud to have inherited a tradition of honesty, quality, and dependability from our former company, Tolladay Corporation.

Today, we remain dedicated to continuing this legacy under the banner of Paden & Bletscher Construction.
