Our story

Custom Ladder Company creates one of a kind ladders for libraries, kitchens and lofts. We handcraft bespoke ladders in our workshop in Perth, Ontario.

The business started as Upcycled Furniture Company, repairing and refinishing vintage dressers, cabinets, tables and more. As we explored the world of custom furniture, we saw an opportunity to make custom built rolling ladders more accessible in the Canadian market, beyond the standard DIY ladder kit, and Custom Ladder Company was born.

Today, we work directly with customers and designers to build beautiful, functional ladders that make a statement in any space.

Our approach

Every project is a collaboration

We prioritize connecting with each customer directly to ensure that we create a ladder they are excited to display in their home and use every single day. From idea to design to delivery, we work with you to create a ladder that fits your space, your taste and your budget.

Each ladder is made to order

The process starts with talking to you to get your measurements, specifications and overall vision. Then we get to work on the ladder, updating you with photos and videos along the way. When the build is complete, we deliver your custom ladder straight to your door.
