ASSOCIATION OF THE SIOUX EMPIRE
Spring presents an ideal opportunity to embark on home improvement endeavors, with pleasant temperatures inspiring homeowners to refresh both the interior and exterior of their residences. Curb appeal, often underestimated, carries significant weight in conveying a home’s maintenance and style.
The exterior of your home serves as the initial impression, offering observers a glimpse of what lies beyond the front door. Curb appeal plays a pivotal role in welcoming guests and establishing a sense of comfort. Key elements contributing to this appeal encompass the condition of your lawn, landscaping, driveway, fences, roof, front door, and porches, among others.
Navigating the multitude of factors influencing your home’s exterior aesthetics can be overwhelming. Local businesses affiliated with the Home Builders Association possess extensive industry knowledge regarding materials and products, helping in achieving your desired curb appeal.
Our website serves as a convenient onestop shop, simplifying the process of finding professionals in various categories such as landscaping contractors, lawn care specialists, curbing experts, fencing professionals, roofing specialists, and painters. These skilled professionals are eager to assist you with your spring outdoor project.

Located on the northeast side of the city in the Mystic Creek development near Dawley Farm Village, this designer curated home was crafted by Kelly Construction.
vibes meet moody, modern tones in this home at 7308 East Shadow Pine Circle
As soon as you walk up, you feel those moody, modern vibes from the dark grey exterior paint to the combination of stone and brick from Dakota Wall.
An eight-foot-tall, five-panel front door featuring beautiful side lights greets you to guide you inside. 10-foot-high ceilings soar above you as natural light from the living room floods in.
“That’s one thing that Kelly Construction homes are known for,” says Stephanie Vostad, Design and Client Experience Manager for Kelly Construction. “We have these huge windows that bring in tons of natural light to a space.”
Here, you’ll once again notice the exterior brick from outside the home donning the gas fireplace from Fireplace Professionals at the heart of the home.
“Then, you have this gorgeous dark tray ceiling in the middle of the living room, which gives this space such a fun little accent. It also gives you that little bit of extra height as well,” adds Stephanie.
That same rich color guides your eye to the kitchen where we find painted Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore and antique barrel-stained birch cabinets beautifully complement the accessories, all from Bullseye Custom Cabinetry Inc.
White quartz countertops bring brightness to this space as the combination of painted Iron Ore and gold finishes highlight the darker tones. A custom-built oven hood, gorgeous walk-in pantry and beverage fridge in the island, makes this the perfect space to cook any meal while the 9-foot island and dining room off to the right, offer a wonderful place for friends and family to gather round.
“This home is in our Hawthorne floor plan, but we have several design styles to choose from when building any floor plan,” says Stephanie. “That’s where I come in. With our designer curated
homes, our team selects the floor plan and then ask me what style I want to use so we never duplicate the exact same one as the home down the street!”
Stepping through the dining room we walk through a huge eight-foot-tall sliding door onto a spacious covered, screened deck.
“As you go out on the deck, we have an outdoor fireplace that matches the one inside the home and a privacy wall to give you a private outdoor escape,” adds Stephanie. “Another thing that I love about this space is you don’t have to worry about any bugs getting in! The whole space is screened in, including underneath the deck!”
As you look toward the east, you get incredible views of rolling hills and trees, while still living in a wonderful neighborhood. Wanting even more out of this space? You’ve got it! This beautifully crafted deck extends and offers easy access to one of the six bedrooms in this home.
Stepping out of this room and back into the house, we come to the first of three bathrooms where we find those same gorgeous quartz countertops with black and gold fixtures and a tub/shower.
Another bedroom with a spacious closet and large windows is found in this space behind the kitchen. Heading down the hall, exquisite, engineered hardwood floors by Simple Floors guides us to this home’s three stall garage. Right off of the garage door is the dropzone and laundry room featuring a large bench and plenty of hooks for all your storage needs! Once again, we will find those quartz countertops donning this space.
Let’s head to the other side of the house to the primary suite. Natural light once again floods this space as a tray ceiling and fan look to cool you down and relax you as you get some much needed “me” time. Lush carpet makes you feel like you are walking on clouds as you’re called to the primary bathroom to relax even more.
To your right, gorgeous double vanities offer you all the space you could need to pamper and primp yourself. Looking to take a load off your feet and soak away your troubles? A huge soaker tub features a transom window and black and gold toned light fixture offering the perfect mood lighting. If you’re looking to let the water cascade down your shoulders, the walk-in, zero-entry tile shower has you covered. Finally, you don’t have to go far to find the perfect cozy fit as the walk-in closet offers plenty of space!
Let’s head back to the living room and down the stairs which features a custom welded railing to experience the
final part of this home. Immediately you step into the spacious family room. A warm and cozy gas fireplace surrounded by tile and white shiplap centers the room It’s the perfect area to host as a wet bar, with space for a full-sized fridge and microwave. Across from the bar is another lounge area for entertaining.
At the base level, you’ll also find under-the-stairs storage, three more bedrooms and one more bathroom rounding out the spacious 3,379-square-feet of space. It’s sure to offer the perfect modern, farmhouse vibes to call home.

What attracted you to your specific industry?
My dad has worked in the industry for 25+ years. I saw the opportunities within the industry, and decided it was a path to take.
What do you find most rewarding about your day-to-day business?
What is the most challenging?
The most rewarding part is helping customers, and seeing the projects come together. The most challenging part would be the initial learning curve of all the ins and outs of the products that we supply for customers.
If you could change anything about your career path, what would it be and why?
I wish I could have started in my career earlier than I did, rather than waiting a few years after school to join this industry. I feel like it would have given me a better head start on the career path that I am on.
What advice would you give to young professionals looking to get involved in your industry?
Start at a young age and soak in all the knowledge you can right away. The industry is very rewarding and there are many paths within it that you can pursue.
Who is your biggest fan?
I would probably say my parents. They have always encouraged me in everything I have done in life and pushed me to do my best.
What is your personal motto?
Everything happens for a reason.
How do you enjoy spending your free time?
Playing any type of game outside in the summer. Whether it be pickleball, softball, or sand volleyball, I am usually outdoors with friends playing some sort of game.
What is something most people would not know about you?
I grew up on a farm growing crops and milking cows with my dad, uncles, and grandparents. I still help with growing corn and soybeans on the family farm.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. This applies to anything in life. The only way you learn and get better at anything is by asking and taking in all the information you receive.
What are you most passionate about?
Outside of work I am a big sports fan. I am very passionate about the Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Twins, and the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Carefully choose plants that complement the design of your house and add color and texture to your yard. Choose a variety of flowers, shrubs, and trees that bloom at different times throughout the year.
Adding water features such as fountains, ponds, or waterfalls can also enhance the beauty of your landscaping and create a peaceful atmosphere. Incorporating outdoor art, such as sculptures or garden ornaments, can be another way to add personality and visual interest to your yard.
Updating the hardware on the front door, such as the doorknob and lock, is an easy and inexpensive way to give the entryway a fresh look. Homeowners can also consider painting the front door a different color to add personality and interest.
Whether you’re looking to design a fully customized deck or go with a tried-and-true option, TimberTech has more colors and wood grain finishes to choose from than anyone else in the industry. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s start locking down those decking designs you’ve been dreaming about.
Beautiful earthy tones await you at 1807 South Daylight Drive on the east side of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This 1,829 square-foot zero-entry home, created by Complete Contracting, gives you a unique layout.
“When you walk up to the house, you notice that the two-car garage, is a little different than most homes,” says Shaina Goedtke, realtor at Keller Williams. “It has more of an ‘L’ shape to it versus the ‘traditional’ homes. I think this adds more character.”
Cement board siding and multi-colored brown brick bring the earthy tones to life. That same character is found as you walk up to the eight-foot front door with a threepoint locking system.
Nine-foot ceilings greet you as you immediately walk into the entryway. Ahead, large windows and a tray ceiling open this living room space up even more, letting plenty of warm light flood over you.
“The windows are really quite large in the living room and dining areas. That light is coming in from both ways. So,
it creates this feeling of the room being even larger and really creates that warm, light, open, airy vibe to area,” Shaina shares.
Grey LVP flooring guides you to the left to the dining room area and kitchen. Dark brown birch cabinets pull your eyes to this space while the beautiful, white quartz countertops by DMC Waterjet and an exquisite porcelain backsplash brings a brightness to this space.
“This large room brings a little darker earthy tone to complement the more natural ones. The backsplash is so gorgeous, and the space is made even brighter by some lights under the cabinets,” Shaina adds.
There’s no concern about a lack of storage here with plenty of cabinet space including a double door pantry to the left and a coffee bar nook with storage. But if you’re looking for more…
“To the right of the kitchen, behind the little nook, is an extra room that could be office space. But they’re actually using it as a walk-in pantry! I think that is so
cool. Sometimes you can just never have enough space,” jokes Shaina.
As we walk down the hallway to the left of the kitchen, we find the laundry room equipped with upper and lower cabinets and access to the two-car garage with concrete walls and a storm shelter.
“Because this ranch style home doesn’t have a basement, it’s critical to have a place where someone can go in the event of a weather-related emergency.”
As we walk back through the kitchen, we head for the master bedroom and bathroom. Beautiful, soft carpet greets us as we immediately step into our oasis. A large window and tray ceilings give this room some additional height and illuminates the space as you take a load off your feet after a long day.
Stepping into the master bath, the gorgeous sovereign pearl porcelain tile shower with inset shower niches and black Delta shower faucets brings an elevated look to this room. Looking for a separate space while staying together? Look no further than this L-shaped quartz countertop.
“I personally love this feature and how the sinks are set up. You have his-and-her style still with two sinks and two mirrors, but you have a bit more privacy and space with this design. It makes it look different and unique from anything else that you typically see,” Shaina explains.
A large walk-in closet with plenty of shelving and more soft carpeting rounds out this space.
The final two rooms and additional bathroom are found on the other side of this home. That same gorgeous carpet and similar bathroom features unifies this space perfectly with the rest of the home.
If you’re still looking for the perfect space for some alone time, or a place to gather with friends and family, the covered deck off the living room has you covered.
Since 2000, Complete Contracting has been getting the job done right, building over 100 homes in and around the Sioux Falls area. They pride themselves on bringing affordable, Energy Star qualified homes to life.
“They’re big on energy,” says Shaina. “Energy Star qualified means a 94-96% efficient furnace. They have LED lights and Energy Star compliant appliances. They’re even efficient down to the insulation. That really sets them apart and is one of the many reasons people should choose Complete Contracting,” Shaina explains.
