PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Embrace Renewal and Transformation This Autumn
Autumn brings a sense of renewal and transformation, along with one of our most highly anticipated events –the Showcase of Remodeled Homes. Whether you’re dreaming of a more spacious layout, a state-of-the-art kitchen, or an outdoor living area that amazes, mark your calendars for October 5-6 and join us for this year’s showcase.
Remodeling can significantly enhance your home’s comfort and aesthetic appeal, often boosting its overall value. However, embarking on a remodeling journey requires careful planning and consideration. Here are some helpful tips to make your remodeling experience smoother and less stressful:
Prepare for the Time Investment: Remodeling projects, both inside and outside your home, can span several weeks or even months. Be prepared to restructure your living arrangements or arrange for temporary accommodation if needed.
Communicate Effectively: Clear and open communication with your remodeler and landscaper is crucial before, during, and after the project to avoid unexpected surprises.
Document the Journey: Don’t forget to capture beforeand-after photos to create a compelling narrative of your home’s transformation.
Hire a Professional: This cannot be emphasized enough. Hiring a professional remodeler or landscaper provides peace of mind and helps prevent costly mistakes. You can find a list of trusted remodelers and landscapers in the Sioux Empire by scanning the QR code below.
To inspire and guide you, we invite you to the Showcase of Remodeled Homes on October 5th and 6th, from noon to 5 p.m. each day.

Entry Doors and Patio Doors
Historically doors were only viewed as a necessity to come and go and were manufactured out of wood. Even 10-15 years ago, the front door was a simple slab in a standard size, maybe incorporating a small window. Today, the front door is often the main focal point to the façade of a house. An entry door replacement can quickly elevate your curb appeal. Exterior doors can still be made of wood, but now there are options in metal, vinyl and fiberglass. Each product comes with a list of finishes that can be applied to the surface during manufacturing, allowing for gradations of wood tones, black, gray and options of white.
Fiberglass is a popular material to use for entry doors. It can give you the look of traditional wood or something cleaner and more modern, with a lighter weight and longer lasting product. Fiberglass can be painted the most successfully to blend with your house colors or to give you that standout pop of color!
The evolution of glass selections now allows a wide variety of sun control and privacy levels, opening up many design possibilities.
Twenty year Pella sales representative JJ Arens says that, for most customers, the goal is now to merge outdoor and indoor spaces by creating seamless walls of glass slides and large open windows with fewer details that break up the view. “Another big change is that we now see larger openings of a patio door wall with bigger panels to get a wider opening to walk freely.”
More current technology in fiberglass allows the frame profiles to get thinner and the ways to move and store the glass panels smoother and easier. “Energy efficiency is still a driving factor,” JJ says. “We still want function, aesthetics, and better efficiency wrapped into one. The technology of the glass itself has advanced exponentially, and the energy and sound rating levels of our doors and windows have evolved through the years with the addition of available coatings, argons, and thermal units that drive superior efficiency and hit that star energy rating criteria.”
Windows
“All the material evolutions in our front doors and patio doors have affected the design and creation of our windows,” JJ explains. “Our customers want larger open panes of glass, efficient opening and closing hardware, and

high efficiency ratings.” Charming French styles, more traditional, and modern rustic styles can be achieved in much more efficient ways, while thinner frames and stronger materials allow larger spans of glass with clean lines of a modern, contemporary look.
On the exterior face of a home’s windows, alternatives to wood have become available as color tastes have evolved. The warm look of wood, which accents so many traditional styles of American houses, can still be appreciated. Early vinyl was most often white, or homeowners painted their wood white to give the windows and doors a crisp, clean look. Now, a wide variety of color tones can be used to accent the house color, allowing the windows to blend more seamlessly. Currently there is a trend toward bronze and black exterior frames, contrasting to lighter house colors for a more modern yet ageless look.
Today we can choose windows that have longer lasting materials for the outside, like fiberglass and vinyl, while being clad with wood on the inside to either stain or paint. When selecting metal framed windows, the color options are vast.

JJ Arens, Pella sales representative for the Sioux Falls area for the past 20 years, shares the transformations he has seen in style, efficiency, and design of doors and windows.
On the inside, advances in technology make it easy for house designs to include longer panels of glass, often incorporating angles that match the pitch of the roof. As the home design industry moves toward cleaner and more contemporary lines, we are seeing less curved arches.

Pella’s newly updated showroom at 26th Street and Homefield Drive (right across from Lowes) in Sioux Falls covers the Sioux Falls, Sioux City, and surrounding areas. “Pella has always been, and always will be, people focused,” JJ says. “We love helping people find what’s exactly right for them and their home.”

As first-time home buyers who were new to the Sioux Falls area, Maddie Crabtree and Austin Bormann worked with husband-and-wife team Vince McCormick, builder with SmartHomes605, and April McCormick, realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, to help take the couple’s dream of home ownership to the next level.
“Through the whole process, they were upfront, proactive in communications, and you never really felt lost in the process or left feeling uninformed,” says Austin. “They were extremely transparent, which was one of the biggest reasons we wanted to work with them to design and build our home. They were so personable and had such integrity.”
“We hadn’t been in the Sioux Falls area long when we decided to build,” Maddie says. “We give them a lot of credit for helping us out with communication about Sioux Falls and helping us conceptualize the market and building industry.”
Austin and Maddie’s home is designed with many smart and beautiful customized details in this unique, onestory ranch home with four bedrooms and two baths. Even though Maddie describes the couple’s design and décor styles as slightly different, given that she prefers more Bohemian style and he prefers more modern, she credits April with helping to guide them in mixing both of their styles.
“We both have to say that April and Vince found the way to mesh our styles,” Maddie says. Austin agrees, adding that they helped push the couple outside their comfort zone about things they didn’t know and couldn’t conceptualize at first. “If we had gone with all of our original mindsets, the house wouldn’t be as lovely as it turned out.”
The couple’s home at 100 N. Mystic Creek Circle has a striking presence with a series of dramatic pitched roof lines, contrasting wood, stone and flat surfaces, and dark bronze framed windows in whimsical shapes and sizes. From outside to inside, these large window areas are inviting and one of Maddie and Austin’s favorite features.
“I love the natural light that the windows bring throughout the house,” Maddie says. “The windows are so big and cast so much sunshine that we don’t have to turn on the lights at all during the day. It’s a very efficient home in that way.”
“I love the natural light as well, and I love the modern architecture and more progressive building features,” Austin says. “It stands out and looks very different from other homes in the area.”
Entering through the front door into the foyer you are greeted by a pass-through fireplace, a welcoming feature that transitions you seamlessly into an open floor plan living space. In the living room, the fireplace is a visual delight with its floor to ceiling stacked stone facade in deep rich color tones and texture. While the soaring ceilings add spaciousness, the ceiling fan, fireplace, and adjustable recessed lighting work together to create warmth. Maddie says it’s a lovely space to stay in and hang out. “It’s a cozy, homey feeling to be in together.”
The kitchen features stone panels in classic, black, white, and grey that continue up into the backsplash for a smart, contemporary look and feel, while the modern flat panel cabinetry contrasts both the color and texture of the stone with warm wood tones. The quartz countertops are both beautiful and easy to maintain.
“I love the large kitchen counters,” Maddie says. “I love to be in the kitchen and able to cook with plenty of space and storage.” The pendant lights add whimsical charm as they dance in the space above the center island. The island is the major food prep space with easy clean up with the sink, dishwasher, and trash pull out right there.
Austin and Maddie selected luxury vinyl plank flooring to flow throughout the house as it gives you the warmth and
feel of wood flooring, while being water repellent, scratch resistant, easy to maintain, and great for kids and pets.
The light wood tones flow seamlessly through the house. In the bathrooms, the combination of dark flat panel cabinetry and contrasting large porcelain tiles with the look of Carrara marble create a modern yet timeless look and feel. In each bathroom the materials are used differently to make each space unique, yet the consistent color tones make the whole house design flow.
Maddie especially loves how the tall ceilings continue into the shower where they chose a waterfall shower head that is super fun!
For Austin, some of the featured details he most enjoys are the smart home products from Dupont Pro. They provide security systems with smart tec controls and surround sound speakers throughout the house. Another favorite for Austin is the way April and Vince helped maximize space where they wanted it most, like in the entertainment and kitchen areas.
The couple included the installation of a panic room off the primary bedroom for several reasons. “We have quick access whether for a storm shelter or 911 situation,” says Austin. “If it’s in your garage, then your cars are parked over it, making access difficult.” Just like in a favorite mystery movie, the room is hidden by a bookshelf and opens by pulling on a book.
The couple are moved in and loving their new custom home. “I probably walked around for the first two months just taking it all in,” Austin says. “It took a while to feel like this was really ours.”

This handsome 1,776-sq.-ft. home at 410 E. 8th Avenue in Tea was built by Caliber Custom Homes and is located in the sought-after Tea Boulder Addition neighborhood. Surrounded by lush green lawns with areas of contrasting natural pebbles framing the house, this home is designed to provide comfort, style, and functionality for its residents with easy access to local schools, parks, shopping, and dining.
Although the Caliber name is new, owner Blair Jensen has over 20 years of experience in the Sioux Falls home building industry. “We started in 2016, and ninety percent of our work has been in this Tea Boulder Addition,” Blair says. “We only use midto high-level surfaces, and our subtractors are highly experienced in slab-on-grade home building. We’ve got that figured out.”
The front of this modern, rustic Villa home has a foundation of stacked stone, with horizontal siding above and wrapping around the house. The warm wood front door contrasts with the light exterior surfaces and white window and door trims and white garage doors are bright and vibrant.
The front entry hall of this lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bath home welcomes you through the wide craftsman style door with upper windows where the natural light streams in, without compromising on privacy.
The entry hall leads into a large open floor plan living room and kitchen combination, with plenty of room for a family-sized dining table in the adjoining L-shaped space. From the dining area there is a large sliding door for easy access to the finished, covered patio, perfect for entertaining.
The richly toned, engineered hardwood floors connect the main living areas. The boards are wide for a classic country, yet clean, contemporary feel.
The Craftsman style is carried throughout the space with the door and window casings in a coordinating, stained-wood tone, contrasting the light walls and large windows.
In the living room area, you will want to gather around the gas fireplace with its stacked stone facade of warm colors and attractive texture contrasting the thick, solid mantle, perfect for your favorite candles and family keepsakes.
All the interior doors and cabinetry are in a coordinating wood-stained finish with a charming old world, flat-panel style.
The contrasting oil rubbed bronze light fixtures and ceiling fans throughout add ageless charm and efficient airflow in all seasons.
The kitchen has an abundance of wrap-around cabinetry, with granite countertops and a subway tile backsplash set in a modern straight stacked pattern. The brand-new appliances are a combination of stainless steel and black, coordinating with the black faucet and cabinet pulls.
The center island provides plenty of additional storage and seating, and bronze pendant lighting brightens the primary workspace. As awesome as this kitchen will be to work in, it is the hidden walk-in pantry with built in shelving and pull-out drawers that will make the new homeowner happy to call this kitchen their own. It’s so easy to keep the open kitchen clean when you truly have a place for everything.
The laundry room features light tile floors and built-in cabinetry with a convenient hanging rod for drying.
Thick carpeting and walk-in closets in the bedrooms offer a cozy feeling with ample space, and the bathroom floors have large, porcelain tiles for easy maintenance and a modern look.
The primary shower is a no-step rollin capable shower with large wall tile, a corner bench, and a niche, plus ergonomic and stylish pebble flooring. The floors in the primary bathroom are heated. The same wood tone craftsman style cabinetry carries through into the bathrooms, and the black fixtures and cabinet hardware add style and continuity throughout the home.
The primary walk-in closet has a clean, white built-in system, dividing the space for both his and her sides.
On the way out to the finished, heated three-car garage you pass through the mud room with a lovely built-in storage area and bench. The floor in this area is also tile, offering a clean transition from outdoors to inside.
With its friendly atmosphere and strong sense of community, this villa home in Tea Boulder Addition is more than just a place to live – it’s a place to belong. “Whether it’s neighborhood or country living that you desire, Caliber Custom Homes will collaborate with you to design a custom house plan that is affordable and fits your family’s needs,” Blair says. Find out more at www. calibercustomhomesllc.com or call 605-359-1547.
To tour a model of Caliber’s work, please visit 320 E 8th St, Tea, SD. Options to custom build a slab-on-grade villa are available as well.

FEBRUARY 21-23, 2025
his lovely two bedroom, two bath, single-level slab on grade villa by Allen Homes offers an affordable, low maintenance alternative to apartment or condo living that is perfect for empty-nesters or young professionals.
The exterior of this home located at 8816 W. Windmill Ridge in West Sioux Falls features deep slate blue horizontal siding all around with a contrasting natural stone foundation that frames the front-facing garage. The white trim and garage doors pop as they outline this charming 1,200 sq. ft. home.
Inside, the open floor plan features warm wood toned LVP flooring running throughout to connect the spaces, with cozy carpeting in the bedrooms.
The house feels bright and airy with its large windows and 9’ ceiling heights all around. The windows have a contemporary grid pattern with wood-stained casing and
baseboards for a light craftsman touch. All the doors and cabinetry echo the craftsman style, yet the clean lines make the space feel modern and new.
The cabinetry in the kitchen is deep, custom, stained wood which contrasts with the laminate countertops and coordinates beautifully with wood tones of the flooring. All the cabinets have the convenient, soft close feature. The center kitchen island has seating on one side with the kitchen sink, dishwasher, and additional storage on the interior side. This floor plan lets the cooks in the kitchen be a part of the activities in the living room.
The stainless-steel appliances include a built-in microwave and match the stainless-steel faucet and cabinet hardware.
The clear glass pendant lighting over the island adds charm and a boost of brightness in the work area, while the recessed lighting throughout the home bathes each

area with light. The chandelier over the table in the dining area matches the pendants. Off the dining area and near the kitchen are sliding doors leading to the partially covered outdoor patio.
A great addition to the living room and primary bedroom are ceiling fans with lights to illuminate and keep the air moving in all seasons.
The LVP flooring flows into the bathrooms as a water-resistant surface with the same cabinetry and countertop materials to enhance the flow of the spaces from one to the next. The acrylic shower inserts include a bench and built-in niches with an easy to maintain, bright white finish. The long window above the shower brings natural light into the room.
The lush, deep blue gray carpeting extends into the oversized, primary walk-in closet where a clean, white closet system is installed to make your storage needs easy.
An oversized 2-car garage provides access from inside the house, and the new homeowner will have the
option of having snow removal and lawn care provided by the HOA, a true luxury for all seasons.

PROFESSIONAL LIFE
What attracted you to your specific industry?
The room to grow. I started here answering the phones! Quickly, I moved into a sales assistant position. Currently, I work for two salesmen and next I will be able to go into outside sales. There is so much to learn to keep moving up in the company.
What do you find most rewarding about your dayto-day business? What is the most challenging? The most rewarding part about my day-to-day business is getting to help customers make their vision of their dream home come to life. The most challenging is not knowing what the day will bring.
Where did you receive your training?
All of my training has been hands on here at Scott’s Lumber. I have undergone many hours of training working with two salesmen here who have taught me a lot about the ins and outs of sales.
What advice would you give to young professionals looking to get involved in your industry?
It takes time and patience to reach your long-term goal. Sometimes you have to start at the bottom to get to the top. There is so much room to grow in this industry, and it’s usually not handed to you. Hard work does pay off!
Who had the biggest influence on your career choice?
The biggest influence on my career choice is from a past manager here at Scott’s. I never thought I would be in the position that I am in today. He believed I could do it, and he pushed me to learn and grow within Scott’s Lumber. He showed me all about windows, doors, estimating, and ordering product, and he was always willing to help me learn something new.
PERSONAL LIFE
Who is your biggest fan? My three kids and my fiancé.
What is your personal motto or words to live by? Everything happens for a reason.
How do you enjoy spending your free time?
In my free time I enjoy going to my kids’ sporting events including football, basketball, baseball and dance. If we don’t have a sport going on, the kids and I love going to the pool in the summer! My fiancé and I love spending our free time going golfing. If I am not at the pool or golfing, I like to read.
What is something most people would not know about you?
I read a lot! I have read 25+ books so far this year.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
If it’s not going to matter in five years, don’t spend more than five minutes being upset by it.
What are you most passionate about?
I am passionate about self-improvement. I am always striving to become a better “me” whether it’s learning something new or improving a particular skill. This helps me in the work place and also to be the best mom I can be.
