The Exteriors Company

About Us

Welcome to The Exteriors Company, where passion meets integrity in the construction industry. I’m Ryan Swanson, the founder and driving force behind this venture. My journey in entrepreneurship commenced back in 2009 during my college days at Northern Illinois University. Back then, I embarked on my first business venture, a Deck and Landscaping company, which laid the groundwork for my enduring passion for the construction field.

In 2013, armed with a degree in Industrial Engineering, I redirected my focus towards a corporate path, delving into a fulfilling career as an Engineer. Climbing the ranks to upper management over the subsequent decade, I honed my skills but felt a persistent pull back to my roots—the construction industry that had always resonated with me.

In a pivotal moment in 2023, I made the decision to bid farewell to a well-known exterior company and the cherished colleagues I had grown with. This marked a profound shift as I sought to rekindle my entrepreneurial flame and create something meaningful. It was time to build a company not just on bricks and mortar but on values and ethics that resonate with me deeply.

Thus, The Exteriors Company was born—a testament to my commitment to delivering quality services anchored in values. Here, we don’t just construct buildings; we build relationships. My mission is clear: to infuse integrity into every aspect of our work, from the foundations we lay to the relationships we nurture.
