PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Endless Possibilities: The 2025 Showcase of Remodeled Homes
There’s something special about this time of year in the Sioux Empire. The air turns crisp, routines settle back in, and for many of us, it’s the perfect time to pause and think about the place we call home. And in our community, that can only mean one thing, the Showcase of Remodeled Homes is almost here!
Over the past five years, remodeling activity in our area has been nothing short of remarkable. More families than ever are choosing to stay rooted in the neighborhoods they love, close to friends, schools, and the memories they’ve built raising children. There’s a deep pride in keeping a home that already holds so much history, while also making it work better for the next chapter of life. And with interest rates making it not so easy in recent years, many homeowners have discovered that remodeling is the best way to create the home they’ve always dreamed of, right where they already are.

There is a greater degree of excellence, and quality within the company of T & T Granite Quartz in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
“I saw this sign one time that said, ‘Service. Because if they don’t get it here, they’ll get it somewhere.’ That hit me hard and really stuck with me,” says Tim Ockenga, owner and operator. “I made sure it was the backbone of the company.”
Before T & T first started, Tim, a tile setter, noticed that there was room for exponential improvement within the fabrication and quality installation of hard surface tops in Sioux Falls.
Since this radical shift in the elite construction industry, they now maintain over 700 indoor slabs within a climate-controlled yard. Despite the product changing, the superior customer service has not.
“My philosophy is about being a direct and active role model in the company,” Tim says. “I oversee the work from start to finish as it comes in and out of our shop. It is my passion to see a project all the way through. We are bringing dreams to life.”
Walking in the showroom, you will be welcomed by a design center created for walk-ins, contractors, or designers.
“We encourage you to bring your tile or cabinet samples to fully take in the experience. We have an amazing sales team that will help you narrow down the various selections. We have an array of in-stock options, which gives clients a great variety of natural stones, marble, quartz, or even large-format porcelain.”
T & T then schedules a template for your stone countertop. This consists of a trained expert using a laser measuring device that results in pinpoint accuracy.
“This is a vital step,” Tim explains. “This is how we ensure measurements are faultless to avoid re-fabrication, to create a seamless transition for our clients. Our business is to strive for perfection. The template process is a very active role and works alongside the homeowner, contractor, or designer on-site. We do our job thoroughly to ensure every meticulous detail is thought of.”
“We like to get things moving quickly. We know how bottlenecked the construction industry can get. That’s why we try our best to refrain from holding up the process.”
After templating, the design heads to fabrication, where the countertop material will be cut, shaped, and finished.
“We chose a company out of Italy for our five-axis bridge saw to get those precise miters as well as straight cuts,” Tim notes. “Then it heads to the tooling machine for intricate curves, shaping, drilling, and polishing.”
“We run a thorough maintenance routine on our tooling machines and equipment three times a week,” adds Tim. “Our edge work is second to none in the industry. The standard edge we use is a very slight bevel, which is difficult to complete; therefore, keeping up with our materials is extremely important.”
The last and very crucial stage in the shop is the project setup.
“We set up your project exactly how it will be in your house. We assemble every part. Our stone specialist has been in the industry for 23 years, and he checks all the edge work to ensure there is no roughness on the bottom
and everything is clean and precise before approving it to be installed.”
Tim says one of the reasons they expanded their facility is so T & T limits the chances of falling behind on any project.
“People shouldn’t have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to get countertops,” says Tim. “Countertops are one of the last things put into finished houses or remodels. Say it took them three months to get cabinets. They don’t want to wait another six weeks for countertops.”
Through their expansion, Tim says they’ve been able to get that process down to 2-3 weeks.
“At the end of the day, it’s about the customer. How do we do everything we can to ensure they have a good and smooth process with T & T?”
For Tim, that also meant having a very skilled set of installers on his team.
“Our installers are very precise and easy to work with.”
Tim says he hopes customers feel ‘complete’ after working with T & T Granite Quartz.
“Nothing is better than when someone is just in awe of the work, whether it’s our kitchen countertops, custom fireplace, or innovative full-panel showers. Being in the hard surface industry for 27 years, I have been through all the trials and errors to make sure my company is centered on honesty, precision, and passion for the variety of stone we get to work with is what I think truly sets us apart from the rest.”

Sleek and dramatic, one contemporary Sioux Falls home commands attention. Inside and out, bold style and captivating details elevate a practical family house to an unforgettable home.
Big D Homes, based in Tea, S.D. and serving the Sioux Falls area, designed and built the home at 8313 E. Spearfish Court. They specialize in custom houses and remodels. From initial concept to completion, Big D Homes’ team works closely with its customers to bring future homeowners’ visions to life.
This single-family ranch-style house reflects a style trend that’s increasingly desirable with Siouxland homeowners. Though Big D Homes builds houses in a variety of styles, the company is becoming known for its bold, “warm modern” houses that incorporate owner Kim Hofer’s building expertise and his degree in art.
“It’s got a very clean, sleek, modern design to it. Kim calls it ‘warm modern,” Justin Shatto, vice president of Big D Homes, shares. “There’s a lot of warm wood tones, but it still has some of those black features inside and out, and sleek, straight lines.”
The striking exterior expertly melds clean sight lines with rich siding and lighter natural stone accents.
“It gives a lot of pop to the face of that house,” Justin adds.
The drama of the exterior continues throughout the home’s main level, full basement and garage. This six-bedroom, five-bath house boasts 3,813 finished square feet designed for homeowners who enjoy entertaining.
The main level, in the dining and kitchen area, features 10-foot ceilings that soar to 16 feet in the living room. “The overall space appears and feels larger than it is, Justin explains.” The spacious atmosphere is enhanced by huge, unobstructed floor-to-ceiling windows, another trademark of Big D’s building style that maximizes natural light.
The great room area is designed with open sight lines that showcase the windows and the view of the thriving neighborhood where this home is located.
Rich, dark wood features and accent walls are paired with distinctive custom tilework throughout both levels of the home. The engineered hardwood flooring harmoniously enhances the deep wood tones and wall treatments.
The living room’s floor-to-ceiling focal point is a double-sided fireplace. The contemporary linear gas fireplace facing the living room is surrounded by quartz, accented by custom steel and wood elements.
The opposite side of the fireplace is the heart of a covered three-season patio. The patio, adjacent to a sunken fire pit, is wired for a gas grill for alfresco dining and entertaining.
In the kitchen, cooks will appreciate the stained oak cabinets, quartz countertops, and large walk-in pantry equipped with a mini refrigerator for wine storage and a sink.
Two bedrooms and bathrooms are on the main level. In the master suite, a shimmering chandelier elegantly complements a mono-slope ceiling and black walls.
Building a custom home empowers customers to be personally involved in choosing wall colors, fixtures, and finishes that suit their distinctive taste and personality.
“People are getting bolder with colors,” Justin notes. “We are seeing people being more aggressive in color selections that reflect their personalities”
The master bath reflects Kim’s artistry with its mix of tall storage cabinets, innovative custom tile work, and vertical sconces.
“Those linear lines are where Kim’s style comes in,” Justin shares. “The tile is a new tile that just came out. A lot of those unique features appeal to him.”
Multi-purpose rooms downstairs offer the homeowners flexible options for casual entertaining and overnight guests. The basement includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a family room, and a rubber-floored exercise room.
A cleverly designed hidden murphy door in the black accent wall hides the entrance to the guest suite. This suite
has its own private bathroom and walk-in closet. The family room can become an entertaining space, as well, because it’s plumbed for a full wet bar.
A 3/4 bathroom off the heated garage is another convenience when hosting guests. “You don’t even need to step into the house to access a bathroom,” Justin states. “The garage was truly designed for entertaining and hosting, so it’s an extension of your living space.”
While this home’s overall show-stopping appearance garners attention, what consistently attracts customers to Big D Homes is the company’s dedication to quality on every project, right down to each corner on every piece of trim.
“We pay a lot of attention to minor details and finishes. That ultimately gives each house an elevated look,” Justin adds.
Making Homes Happen
Purchasing a home can be complicated. That’s why First PREMIER Bank works hard to make the mortgage process as streamlined as possible. Our lending decisions are made locally, and our mortgage bankers understand the neighborhoods, tax structures and other factors that may impact your total cost. When it comes to making homes happen, we look out for homebuyers in ways that make a difference. It’s how First PREMIER has grown into one of the nation’s strongest community banks.

The home at 6028 W. McKinley Circle in northwestern Sioux Falls reflects the collaborative spirit that defines every Jeren Homes project. Based in Tea, S.D., this custom home builder specializes in unique residences that push creative boundaries.
“We work with our clients from day one to design and develop a house plan to meet their needs and budget at the same time,” states Project Manager Craig Wynia.
This particular four-bedroom, three-bath home showcases what happens when skilled homeowners partner with experienced builders who embrace bold design choices.
The homeowners’ vision centered on dramatic contrasts that would set their home apart from typical builds. Throughout the 1,418-square-foot main level, dark cabinetry creates a striking visual impact against lighter
counters and wood floors, while black custom metal railings and window trim tie the design together.
“I liked the different colors they implemented, including the dark colors that they put on the doors, and the white-painted millwork. We’ve seen so many white houses and so many dark houses, but they came in with a dark green exterior,” Craig shares.
The living room and kitchen form the heart of the main level, where every design decision reinforces the home’s dramatic aesthetic. In the living room, black paint transforms the electric fireplace’s shiplap wrap-around into a stunning focal point, while a tray ceiling inset with custom-made and stained beams draws the eye upward.
The kitchen reflects a growing trend Craig has observed among homeowners. Kitchen cabinetry is costly, Craig
notes, explaining that more homeowners are opting for fewer cabinets and more built-in storage such as pantries, butler’s pantries and buffets.
These homeowners clearly love to host, and their home accommodates that passion on multiple levels. A custom built-in buffet anchors the dining room, serving both form and function.
“They wanted some cabinetry to display their china, and the counter can be used as a serving area for larger gatherings,” Craig adds.
A covered porch extends the entertaining space outdoors, while the 1,106-square-foot lower level provides casual
gathering areas. Here, a second electric fireplace in the family room, surrounded by white drywall, is framed by lighted custom built-ins and space for a television. A full wet bar with island seating offers the perfect spot for cocktails and snacks, with lighted open shelving behind the bar ready to showcase decorative bottles.
The master suite continues the home’s dramatic theme with a dark statement wall, while abundant storage in the built-in closet and a luxurious bathroom provide everyday comfort. Recognizing that homes should accommodate personal interests, the design includes a tuck-under room that gives the homeowner a dedicated workshop for his woodworking hobby.
For Jeren Homes, the relationship with homeowners extends well beyond the final walkthrough.
“Anything that’s built by humans can have human error in construction and design. At the end of the day, it’s about the customer service that is there to stand behind the product that’s delivered. At Jeren Homes, that is one thing we pride ourselves on a lot,” Craig shares.
The result is a home where thoughtful collaboration between builder and homeowners has created spaces that reflect personal style while supporting the way the family actually lives, from entertaining guests to pursuing individual hobbies.
Decking Designs Done Differently
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.

“I have built three houses with different contractors and by far Rich and the Creation Builders team is the best!”
“Rich attended the design meetings with the building planner and he was there during the whole construction process and did a great job. I am a person with special needs, I live from a wheelchair, and Rich was always listening to my challenges and was not afraid to ask questions where it counted. He was on time and on budget. Rich knows the job, knows the people that get the job done, and he is excellent at organizing and scheduling. If I ever build another house Creation Builders is my first choice!”
