What's New

Sioux Falls homeowners have a new option when it comes to fulfilling their needs and wants in home improvement. Universal Windows Direct, a franchise locally owned and operated by Kevin Rasmussen, recently opened a new location in Sioux Falls in September 2021. Seeing the housing market continue to grow in the Sioux Falls region, Kevin found it to be the perfect time to expand his business from the Sioux City location that has been operating since July of 2018.

Kevin, a Sioux City native, has spent 22 years in the construction industry bringing a wealth of knowledge to the customers he serves through Universal Windows Direct. “I started my construction company, KR Home improvement back in 1999 and grew it to 5 employees,” shares Rasmussen. “I have always loved the construction industry and being able to help a homeowner bring their vision to life.” A father of 3 kids, two girls and one boy, Kevin has enjoyed watching his son continue in his footsteps, graduating with a business management degree and helping in the business. “I started Universal Windows Direct to offer great products to the customers I was working with on home remodeling projects. In addition to Universal Windows Direct, Kevin continues to operate KR Home Improvement for remodeling projects like home additions, bathroom redo’s, kitchen upgrades and decks.

Part of helping homeowners bring their vision to life is offering them the highest quality home improvement products and installation at the best value possible. Universal Windows Direct sells and installs windows, doors, siding, roofing, and gutter protection. The product lines they carry are synonymous with quality and are backed by industry leading warranties. Matched with their quality products is their customer service. By purchasing and having those products installed by the same company, customers can be assured that they will receive the same respect and attention that Kevin and his 14 employees would give their own families. His staff is trained to walk homeowners through the decision-making process to ensure that their products can fit within the homeowner’s budget no matter how big or small. Customers can expect a large variety of colors, sizing and shaping options when making their selections.

Having locations in both Sioux Falls and Sioux City means that Universal Windows Direct service covers a large area, serving customers within a 50-mile radius of both Sioux City and Sioux Falls. You can visit their extensive showroom at 5512 North 7th Place in Sioux Falls and be greeted by friendly staff waiting to help you make your home remodel dreams come to life. n
