When Tim Schoffelman launched DaleTree Decks and Outdoor Lighting, they weren’t just starting a business, they were answering a deeper calling. “When my dad passed away, I realized how many of our best memories happened out on the deck,” Tim shares. “That shaped everything. I wanted to create spaces where people could feel encouraged. Safe places for families to gather, unwind, and build their own moments.”
That philosophy, designed to encourage, has guided DaleTree from the start, transforming ordinary outdoor spaces into meaningful family gathering places. A recent deck transformation project in Sioux Falls perfectly demonstrates how Tim’s mission comes to life through thoughtful craftsmanship and genuine care.
The homeowners, a young family with legitimate safety concerns, approached DaleTree. Their existing deck was aging and felt increasingly unstable, especially with children playing nearby. “They wanted something that felt solid and lasting,” Tim explains. “They also wanted a space they could actually enjoy at night, something that would feel like a true extension of their living area.”
Most DaleTree projects begin with a simple phone call. “A lot of people find us through our website or referrals, and we always encourage them to just call,” Tim explains. “Most of the time, we can answer tons of questions right away. From size and features to what the project might cost, we have a general idea. Then, if it feels like a good fit, we set up an in-person site visit to walk through the details and talk materials.”
For this particular project, the original deck needed more than just a facelift. The team discovered failing footings beneath the attached four-season room, requiring foundation reinforcement before any aesthetic improvements could begin. This attention to structural integrity reflects DaleTree’s commitment to building spaces that truly last.
With the foundation secure, the team rebuilt the deck using premium 50-year warranty boards and custom railings. The special-order railing color required patience with a 10 to 12-week wait, but the refined finish proved well worth the extended timeline. The completed 344-square-foot deck took just over two weeks to build once materials arrived.
One of the project’s standout features was the integrated lighting system. DaleTree added lights to each stair tread and modified the post caps so light
could cascade gently downward. “That detail made a huge difference,” Tim says. “It’s functional for safety, sure, but it also creates a really beautiful atmosphere. It invites you out in the evenings.”
What sets DaleTree apart isn’t just craftsmanship, it’s how they care for people throughout the entire process and beyond. “We overbuild because we want it to last,” Tim emphasizes. “We pay attention to every detail. We also pray for our customers every single week. You’re not just a job on the schedule; you’re part of the story.”
This mindset continues long after construction ends. DaleTree registers all product warranties on behalf of clients and remains available for ongoing support. “Too many people have a contractor disappear after the job’s done,” Tim notes. “We’re committed to being different. We stay involved.”
Decking with DaleTree is an easy five-step process. It begins with a free consultation and estimate over the phone, followed by an on-site visit for precise measurements and material discussions. The third step involves logistics, including invoicing, payment plans, and permitting, with Tim’s expert team handling all permit requirements and city approvals.
After permits are approved, materials are ordered, and construction begins. Most projects take one to two weeks, though larger undertakings can extend longer. Tim recalls one particularly ambitious project, stating, “One took two-and-a-half months because it was a three-foot-high, 1,100-square-foot deck.”
The final step includes an official walkthrough and warranty registration, ensuring every detail meets DaleTree’s exacting standards.
From custom decks and pergolas to outdoor heaters, lighting, and bug screens, DaleTree brings the same care and craftsmanship to every outdoor living space
they design. “We’ve had people go with cheaper contractors, and then they come back,” Tim observes. “It’s not just about price. It’s about the quality of the work, the customer experience, and the relationship.”
For families dreaming of safer, more beautiful outdoor spaces, DaleTree offers something beyond typical construction services. “We’re not just building decks,” Tim concludes. “We’re building spaces for life to happen.”
