We put every bit of knowledge from our experiences and backgrounds into our projects. Ground up builds, excavation, design build and remodels. If you have a design concept or vision, we can bring it to life for you. All excavating, framing, pre-design concepts in CAD and general labor is facilitated in-house. Welcome to Saltbox Custom Homes.

Jordan Leets
Operations Manager
Born and raised in New England, Jordan Leets moved to Colorado to pursue his education—and to enjoy everything the mountains have to offer. Steamboat Springs quickly became home, thanks to its tight-knit community and outdoor lifestyle, making it a place he never wanted to leave (and one he’s always happy to return to).
As Operations Manager at Saltbox Custom Homes, Jordan runs the show behind the scenes, handling day-to-day operations, administrative tasks, and team coordination. Known for his focus and problem-solving, he keeps projects on track and ensures everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
Outside of work, Jordan takes full advantage of mountain life. Whether snowboarding, hiking, biking, playing team sports, or hitting the local pickleball courts, he’s always up for a challenge and enjoys staying active.
