OUR STORY

Carlos Ruiz began his career in construction in the Dallas area over 20 years ago and was owner of a successful framing business. When Carlos and his wife Nicole moved home to Western Colorado in 2009, Carlos had the opportunity to work for a major local builder, where he learned the full scope of the residential building process. Simultaneously, he studied and earned a degree in Construction Technologies and Supervision from Colorado Mesa University as his family began to grow. Previous education included 4 years of Philosophy in a Seminary in Mexico. Eager to bring together his textbook knowledge and years of practical experience in construction, Carlos seized the opportunity to accomplish his dream of becoming a builder, launching Alta Home Builders. Nicole later joined the Alta Home Builders team, shifting gears after a 14-year career in ministry and advocacy in the non-profit sector. Her degrees are in Great Books and Theology from the University of Notre Dame. Nicole is an independent real estate broker with Nicole Bernal Ruiz Realty. She also manages sale and marketing for Alta Home Builders.

Core values of their business include hard work, honesty, professionalism, and meeting high standards. Carlos and Nicole strive to bring to life design ideas that make each house stand out and feel like a home for their clients.
