Get ready to be inspired! February is an exhilarating month for home building and remodeling enthusiasts as the Home Builders Association gears up for the much-anticipated 2024 Sioux Empire Home Show. I want to extend a personal invitation to all of you to join us at the Sioux Falls Convention Center on February 23rd to 25th, where you can immerse yourself in the latest trends of the building industry. All while exploring a diverse range of exhibits, including cabinetry, flooring, furniture, and hardscapes—all conveniently showcased under one roof. This event also allows you to engage with industry experts who can ignite ideas for your upcoming home related projects.

Our exhibit spotlight this year is “The Backyard Experience,” an enthralling exhibition collaboratively presented by multiple businesses. It invites visitors to explore outdoor living like never before, featuring a breathtaking paver patio, a full-size deck with an outdoor fireplace, a hot tub encased in a pergola, and a putting green. This exhibit is set to be a haven for those seeking inspiration for their outdoor sanctuaries. Don’t miss the chance to step into this living example and begin your journey towards creating your own outdoor paradise (details on page 38-39).

Don’t forget about the kids! On Saturday (9 AM - 2 PM) and Sunday (11 AM - 2 PM), we’re launching the kids building zone. Children attending this year’s home show can drill and assemble pre-cut wooden pieces to create a squirrel feeder, all while fostering a passion for tools and careers in the building industry.

Whether you’re planning a remodel or contemplating building your dream home, this event is your comprehensive destination to explore everything related to homes. Nowhere else will you find such a concentration of qualified home service professionals dedicated to addressing your specific questions and needs.

For more details, refer to pages 36-41, visit hbasiouxempire.com, or scan the QR Code.

BRINGING THE WOW FACTOR WITH

1J Homes By: Michaela Feldmann Photos By: Tim Hanson Productions

There’s no shortage of the “wow” factor in this five bedroom, four and a half home at 1516 S. Scarlet Oak Drive on the northeast side of Sioux Falls. Crafted by 1J Homes, this 6,500 square foot home is sure to stop you in your tracks at every turn.

The dark iron ore LP siding and natural stone from Michael Johnson Contracting brings modern vibes to the forefront. A large, vaulted entry with a wood ceiling and sconces on either side of the pillars elegantly guide you into the front entry.

“You’ll really notice craftmanship in this home,” says Abbey Vanhove, sales and design expert for 1J Homes. “Right from the get-go, we have a beautiful, custom front door. The owner actually wanted the door to match the color of his Corvette.”

A custom wire railing staircase is the next modern piece to catch your eye as beautiful, white oak floors guide you into the main area of the home.

Three large floor-to-ceiling windows from the living room to the dining room give you incredible, panoramic views of the river. Wanting to take in more of the view? Step out onto the tile floored deck and warm yourself up next to the fire pit.

Stepping back into the living room, a large marble tile and three-sided glass fireplace by Fireplace Professionals basks you into its warmth – calling for you to cozy up on cold winter days. Encompassing the heart of the home are gorgeous benches with extra storage and white oak floating shelves.

16-foot tall, vaulted ceilings guide your eyes to the top where beautifully crafted wood beams are on full display. The wood detail carries into the kitchen and dining room space as black wood beams frame the tray ceiling. Contemporary and modern vibes are not hard to find here as black and white quartz countertops create a waterfall edge island and a full-height backsplash.

“We take the same material that is on the countertops, and we run it up the backsplash. It really creates the beautiful, seamless look. The great thing is you don’t get grout lines. So, it’s so much easier to clean!”

Tucked away behind slab cabinet doors to the left is the fridge and freezer – once again creating a seamless look in this home. Black and gold custom made finishes are found throughout the kitchen from the cabinet handles to the kitchen faucet and the island pendants.

No kitchen is complete without a walk-in pantry and that’s exactly what you’ll find tucked behind another “seamless” door. Designed by Save Our Space, you’ll find those black slab cabinets but with a twist.

18 n February 2024

“We wanted to keep the contemporary look, but also give it a bit of a different feel. So, we added some woodgrain patterns here. You get a little bit more texture while keeping with the feel of the home.”

Off the kitchen is the mudroom and laundry room. Here you’ll find a different vibe. Tile floor runs throughout the area and up the wall, and quartz countertops and light gray cabinets give this area a brighter feel.

It’s time to hold onto to your wheels as we pass from the mudroom to the garage.

“The garage is one of the best features of this whole home in my opinion. It’s unlike any garage you’ve probably ever seen before.”

So, what makes it such a showstopper? Heated epoxy floors by Kustom Epoxy Floors run the length of this 1,676 square foot garage equipped with custom cabinets, a shop and car lift.

“This is one of the ‘wow’ factors of this home. The garage goes back the full length of the house and then we have a tray ceiling featuring neon hexagon lighting. That’s where his car and lift sits. We lined the walls with outlets for all of the neon lights and signs. There are also custom cabinets throughout the back of the garage with tile backsplash. And if that’s not enough, there’s also a half bath with a vanity that matches the cabinets in the garage. Every small detail of this garage was thought out from the beginning.”

As we make our way back into the house, we head for the first of five bedrooms. The bedroom to the right features a built-in bench with wall sconces on either side of the windows. It’s the perfect, cozy space to sit down with a book. Next door we have the second bedroom converted to an office and the main bathroom. Hexagon black-and-white tile floor creates a break from the white oak floors as gold hardware beautifully complements the quartz countertops and porcelain tile shower walls.

Turning toward the master bedroom, we’ll find a lot of fun details from custom black and stained white oak beams on the ceiling to the wallpapered back wall to the warmth of the second tile fireplace. Stepping into the master bath, white marble tile continues throughout and up the walk-in shower.

“We have his and her style showerheads and handles on either side of the wall. We also got to have some fun with a geometric wallpaper around the walls of the water closet. That’s what was fun about these clients. They weren’t afraid of really bold pattens.”

All this space and we haven’t checked out the basement yet! Heading down the fun accent-carpeted staircase, we make our way to the large living area. The third fireplace ties beautifully together with the others, but it’s not the focal point of this room.

“That would be the mini jumbotron! It was one of the most talked about features of the home. It sits right above the pool table and it’s just like you would see in the stadium. It has four TV’S and features a decal of their favorite team: the Vikings.”

But the entertainment doesn’t stop there! The basement features a massive bar, dishwasher and fridge. On the other side of the bar is a

pass-through garage door window and features even more fun.

“We’ve got more bar space and then a shuffleboard table and a golf simulator! There’s no shortage of entertainment down here.”

Two more bedrooms with a jack-and-jill bathroom are on the opposite side of the basement as well as another laundry room/bathroom ready for when the owners build a pool. And if one incredible garage wasn’t enough, you’ll find another down here.

“It also has custom cabinets, extra storage room in the back and a garage door that opens to the backyard.”

homeowner’s daughter.

“We built her a little playroom under the stairs and it looks like her own mini home. It has a TV and some book shelves. We did brick along the outside and then cedar shakes for the roof. She also has her own little porch light and window to peak in. It was really fun to see her reaction.”

No matter where you turn in this home by 1J, you’re sure to be wowed!

LIFE IS BETTER ON A DALETREE DECK By: Tanya Manus

DaleTree Decks’ motto is “designed to encourage.” The decks, pergolas and porches the Sioux Falls company builds are designed to encourage living well, relaxing and making memories.

Decks are becoming an extension of people’s living spaces during the nice times of year, so we want to treat it as such. Not only do we make sure to build a quality deck, but we also take it a step further by recommending any privacy, screening, lighting, rain diversion, or shade opportunities that will help turn that space into something they really enjoy.” said DaleTree Decks owner Tim Schoffelman.

Decks, porches and pergolas evoke a sense of nostalgia about leisure time spent outdoors with family and friends. These are living spaces designed for slower living and enjoying your surroundings.

“We feel largely compelled to continue that tradition, to bring that to other people — especially up here in the north where we don’t have a 12-month season where you can always be on the deck. We want to sure decks are enjoyable for the times they can be used,” Tim said.

exceptional. He developed an interest in woodworking in high school, and started building decks and roofing in high school and college.

“I always built decks on the side for college buddies or helping family and friends. The woodworking was more of a hobby,” Tim said. “But there was a craftsmanship element to both that I thoroughly enjoyed. When we started DaleTree Decks, it was obvious what I wanted to do.”

Tim’s love of craftsmanship shows in his designs and commitment to quality in everything DaleTree Decks builds. That excellence turns customers into long-term clients.

A DaleTree deck starts with quality materials.

“Composites have a warranty against staining or fading, with deck boards that can go all the way up to 50 years. We usually combine the composite deck boards with metal railings that will also stand the test of time. We use a framing technique so the structure

KIDS BUILDING ZONE FEBRUARY 24-25, 2024

Saturday (9AM - 2PM) | Sunday (11AM - 2PM) Located in the Arena under the Grand Stands

DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE KIDS! The Home Builders Association Workforce Development Committee would like to invite you to the “Kids Building Zone!”

This year kids will have another opportunity to get tools in their hands just like the builders of the Sioux Empire. This year’s project will be a wooden squirrel feeder, where children can experience woodworking first-hand.

Every year the “Kids Building Zone” is an edition to the Home Show as it adds an opportunity for builders of the Sioux Empire to create a connection with the next generation of builders. In addition to our builders working one on one with the kids we will also have the National Association of Home Builders Student Chapters who will be teaming up with our future builders to construct their squirrel feeders.

The squirrel feeders will add to the list of fun wooden projects built at the Sioux Empire Home Show by our future builders.

This is a free event put on by the Home Builders Association with paid adult admission to the Home Show.

Beautiful SPACE

CREATING A By: Michaela Feldmann Photos By: Paul Fick Custom Homes

Cozy, warm vibes call to your soul with this home from

Paul Fick Homes at 7901 E. Norway Pine Trail. Located on the

northeast side of Sioux Falls in the Willow Ridge Development, this villa style home welcomes you in.

Beautiful natural siding and shakes and unique stone catches your eye from the moment you walk up to this 1,567 square foot home.

“Natural

tones

create

such

an

inviting

feeling,”

says

Patti Willeson, Controller with Paul Fick Homes. “That’s what we want with these homes. Then it’s really up to the buyer if they want to make it more their style.”

A covered front porch with metal railing creates the perfect place to relax on a warm, summer day.

Stepping into the home, 9-foot ceilings greet you as natural light floods into this grand space. Looking for a little bit more height? That’s no problem as box ceilings in the living room give you just that. The gas fireplace from Fireplace Professionals brings the outside element in with its beautiful stone features matching the stone on the front of the house.

“That’s probably my favorite part of this home,” says Patti. “’I just love the look of it, especially with the whole open concept living room/dining room/kitchen area. There’s just so much space.”

Light and dark brown luxury vinyl flooring from Thornton Flooring guide us through this open concept floor plan past the dining room area to the kitchen where you find the next great gathering space. Beautifully complementing the lighter tones of the quartzite countertops from Milliron Granite and Quartz and white subway backsplash are the dark brown birch cabinets from Rosebud Wood Products. The quartzite covered island creates the perfect space to sit and talk while making the most delicious meal or snack. Looking for the right ingredients? You’re sure to find them in the walk-in pantry.

44 n February 2024

Off to the right of the kitchen, you’ll find the laundry room with access to the three-stall garage with epoxy flooring. If you’re looking for your next spot to relax, step out from the kitchen onto your back covered patio. Beautiful views of your backyard are sure to put you in the perfect state of mind.

As we step back inside, we make our way down the hallway.

To the left we find the master bedroom – the first in this two-bedroom, two-bathroom house. Soft, plush carpet welcomes

you, as well as the vaulted tray ceiling. The master bath includes a double vanity that offers you all the space you could need and is beautifully lit by Visions Design Lighting.

Seamlessly step into your walk-in closet from the bathroom as this open floor design continues. There’s no shortage of space for you here.

As we walk out of the master suite and back into the hallway, we are greeted by the second bedroom in this home. Here you’ll find another walk-in closet. Plenty of natural light once again floods over us.

“Natural light is always so important,” says Patti. “But especially so in Villa style homes. It really helps to create that open feel and can often make rooms seem even bigger than they are.”

Stepping down the hall to the final room: the main bathroom. This beautifully ties together with the master bath offering laminate countertops and luxury vinyl plank flooring once again. Here you’ll find a tub/shower and linen closet for all your storage needs.

“We really try to create spaces that any homeowner could love and feel like they could customize to their own tastes if they want to,” says Patti.

“But the natural tones never go out of style.”

For over 30 years Paul Fick Homes has been providing Sioux Falls and the surrounding communities with great quality and craftmanship – building over 2,100 homes in that time.

“Our goal is to provide an effortless home-building experience. We want our customers to be so excited to move into their new homes. We also try to customize them based on what the buyer wants. So even if you have a similar floor plan, it’s going to look totally different on the inside from another house. Just like every customer is unique, so is every home.”

ALL IN(TEGRATED) By: Emily Pogue

For decades, Audio Video Integrations has been “hooking up” the Sioux Falls area with integrated audio, video, and lighting systems using cutting edge technology and incredible products.

Upholding this standard into the next chapter is something new owner, Jeremy Rensink, is focused on while also aiming to exceed expectations in their level of service.

Rensink had been a business owner for 15 years in an industry that was very profitable yet physically demanding and especially difficult so he began exploring the possibility of buying into a new business. With his lifelong interest in all things electronically controlled, the option to purchase AVI was the perfect chance at the perfect time. Rensink was all in on the new opportunity and new challenge. While there was a big learning curve in taking ownership within a new industry altogether, he found that the entrepreneurial skills he learned in that season of his life translated well to this new venture.

While AVI will continue to integrate the audio, visual, and lighting needs for residential and commercial customers as they always have, one of the changes Rensink is implementing takes aim at a seamless customer-focused approach to service.

“We strive to continue to give our clients a home control system that is simple elegance; it works and it’s simple to use. As the new owner of AVI, I want to take that foundation and add an amazing customer service experience. I do that by having team members that are passionate about customer service and empowering them to do what it takes (to make the client happy).”

This new maintenance plan focuses on a superior customer experience that keeps convenience and joy at the top of the list in what is an ever-changing and always-aging world of technology. It will ensure that each customer understands how to use their systems with expert training, provides for an early check-in to ensure usability and function, and an opportunity to purchase a supplemental plan aimed to clean, protect, and prolong the life of products and systems in their home.

“Technology ages out quickly, especially in the A/V world. Things are constantly changing and adapting to the market climate,” adds AVI Lead Technician, Chester Carson. “In order for us to properly address this issue, we felt like a preemptive strike would be best.”
