Who We Are

Be Nice, AND Do Good Work

We’re a family business, first and foremost. That means that for any project, client or challenge we face, we approach it with integrity, kindness, and understanding. Since we are small by design, we can maintain our most valuable asset: the personal long-term relationships we develop with our clients. The rest of our team is composed of highly skilled, passionate and hardworking people who are outstanding at what they do. Each person is an expert in their own right and our crew has often been referred to as the best crew in town by other contractors. Collectively, our team has over 150 years of experience in construction. We hope to make any project, whether it’s a residential remodel, custom home or commercial construction, enjoyable, transparent and life-changing while providing you with the support of professionals that treat you like friends.

Meet our team

Dave Sloan

|

Founder & President

Dave is a botanist (ask him about orchids!) turned carpenter turned general contractor. His endless positive energy comes in handy for working long days, backpacking with his kids, and keeping up with his two dogs, Viko and Tash. Dave remains heavily involved in the local AEC community, and in his spare time, focuses on his family, cooking and perfecting his margarita recipe.

Dave's Role

As president of Sloan Construction, Dave is the man who knows who is doing what and where. He keeps tabs on just about everything, but is in charge of three things: relationships with clients, the pre-construction process, and making sure everyone is having fun.

Clients call Dave when...

They are wondering how much all of this is going to cost or want to meet for tacos in Boulder.

Hanna Sloan

|

PE, Chief Operations Officer

Hanna started her career as a water resources engineer and was drafted by Dave to create order from the chaos of his burgeoning contracting business by using her seemingly endless organizational skills.

Hanna's Role

COO… CFO, Marketing, Business Development, Human Resources, Party Planning. You name it, Hanna is on it.

Clients call Hanna when...

They need our routing number, or are up for the challenge of joining her at a CrossFit class.

Chelsea Mann

|

General Manager | Project Manager

Chelsea is Sloan’s GM, and has a knack for operations and process efficiency. A proud Massachusetts native, Chelsea relocated to Boulder for the abundance of beautiful homes, mountains and craft breweries.

Chelsea's Role

General Manager, Project Manager, Spreadsheet Connoisseur

Clients call Chelsea when...

They want to dive into project details, or talk about Beyoncé.

Ryan Kean

|

Project Manager

Ryan is Sloan’s resident designer (CU Architecture degree) and polymath (race car driver, mechanic, musician, axe thrower, paintball sniper, world traveler and a bunch of other stuff he won’t even tell us about).

Ryan's Role

As a Project Manager, Ryan works with our clients and trade partners to coordinate all the minutiae of each project before construction starts, and runs the project from the beginning stages of framing through finishes and warranty. But most importantly, Ryan has taken on his newest role as Girl Dad.

Clients call Ryan when...

They want to get into the nitty gritty of building science, or they want to talk about trucks.

Jim McCue

|

Superintendent

Jim joined the Sloan Construction team in early 2023. A master carpenter, he brings a breadth of knowledge and experience to Sloan and to our projects. When he isn't working, you can find Jim spending time with family and his boys.

Jim's Role

A project superintendent, Jim spends his days on site running projects. Jim is involved in all aspects of a project’s construction phase, ranging from supervision, scheduling and logistics of subcontractors, to installation of custom trim carpentry.

Clients call Jim when...

They need anything- and we mean anything- built to perfection in their home.

Michael McMahon

|

Superintendent

Michael could easily make a living as a muralist or as a world traveler, but we’re lucky that he’s settled for working here. An extensive career in the trades has made Michael into one of the most well-rounded contractors working in Boulder County.

Michael's Role

As a project superintendent, Michael is the main point of contact for his clients’ day-to-day needs. He is the first man on site and the guy who locks up at night. Michael is the guy you want on your project if you want things done just-so. He is also in charge of our safety coordination and practices.

Clients call Michael when...

They need somebody to paint a mural in their home, or refinish an antique family heirloom.

Ruben Berumen

|

Superintendent

Ruben is a master framer for both wood and steel. Having worked in the trades for decades, his experience in commercial and residential construction is long and full of good stories. When it comes to projects outside of framing, Ruben either knows exactly how to do something or knows someone who does. He is one of the most sought after drywall contractors in the area and a wizard of solving difficult problems in virtually every realm of construction.

Ruben's Role

Ruben is a master of so many things that it’s impossible to keep track. His expertise is unparalleled when it comes to having boots on the ground at a job. To keep it short: Ruben is a superintendent, framer and drywaller when needed, and a force to be reckoned with on the jobsite.

Clients call Ruben when...

They need to make a drywall patch disappear entirely, or want a good recipe for grilled flank steak.

Leigh Ann Lytton

|

Controller

With over 25 years of accounting experience, and 33 years piloting numerous types of aircraft, Leigh Ann's varied background is essential to the daily operations at Sloan Construction. Having raised two boys, working with contractors is second nature to her, and Leigh Ann keeps us all in line in what can sometimes be a combative field of work.

Leigh Ann's Role

As Sloan’s Controller, Leigh Ann is the grease in the wheels around here. Every receipt, invoice, bill, timesheet, and banking transaction goes through her.

Clients call Leigh Ann when...

They need to discuss an invoice, or if they need a quick flight to somewhere warm.
