24 Years of Building.
One Mission.

Jordan Strader's entrepreneurial journey began at 16, when he launched his own lawn mowing and landscaping business. For the next 12 years, he built it into a thriving operation while simultaneously breaking into construction at age 19 in 2002 — learning the trades, managing crews, and developing the hands-on expertise that would become the foundation of everything he does today.

At 26, after 12 years of landscaping, Jordan made the decision to move out of landscaping and into full-time construction. He also dove into real estate investing, flipping over 500 homes and completing more than 1,000 real estate transactions. That depth of experience — seeing thousands of properties, understanding how homes are built, and knowing what adds real value — shaped his approach to every project that followed.

In 2018, Jordan moved from Florida to Louisiana and founded Blue Tide Exteriors with a focused mission: design and build extraordinary outdoor living spaces. Since then, he has performed hundreds of backyard projects — pools, patios, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire features, and screen enclosures — across the Shreveport-Bossier area and surrounding communities.

Today, Jordan holds six Louisiana state licenses — Home Builder, General Contractor, Residential Swimming Pools, Commercial Swimming Pools, Home Improvement, and Qualifying Party. He carries $2 million in general liability insurance and backs every project with a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty.

A family man at heart, Jordan has been married for over 20 years and is a proud father of two. He lives on a small hobby farm with 20 chickens and a cat. When he's not building, you'll find him outdoors — fishing, hunting, or on the water. For Jordan, outdoor living isn't just something he builds for others. It's a way of life.
