Todd Nelson, owner and licensed general contractor, Qualified Carpentry, Sioux Falls South Dakota
MEET YOUR CONTRACTOR

32 Years of Craft. One Standard: Exceptional.

My name is Todd Nelson. I have been building and remodeling homes and commercial spaces across Sioux Falls and the Sioux Empire for 32 years. I have spent 32 years in this industry learning one thing above everything else: the details are everything. A perfectly fitted cabinet door. A staircase that does not creak. Trim work that makes a room feel finished. These are not small things. They are the difference between a house and a home you love.

Qualified Carpentry is built on the same principle I have held since day one. Every project gets my personal attention. Every client gets a straight answer. And every job is finished the way I would want it done in my own home.

We are licensed by the City of Sioux Falls, bonded, insured, and proud members of the National Association of Home Builders. When you hire Qualified Carpentry, you are not hiring a crew you will never meet. You are hiring a craftsman who will be there.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your first call.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Sioux Falls, SD?

Kitchen remodel costs in Sioux Falls vary based on scope, materials, and layout changes. Most projects range from $15,000 to $60,000 or more for a full renovation. Custom cabinetry, countertop material, and appliance upgrades are the biggest cost drivers. The best way to get an accurate number is a written estimate from Todd Nelson. Call 605-212-6318 or request your estimate online.

Is Qualified Carpentry licensed and insured in South Dakota?

Yes. Qualified Carpentry is licensed by the City of Sioux Falls as a Residential Building Contractor, fully bonded and insured. Owner Todd Nelson is a member of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire (HBSE), and the South Dakota Home Builders Association. So you can hire with complete confidence.

Do you offer written estimates?

Yes. Estimates are prepared in writing and are not handed out onsite. They require measurements in many situations and take coordinating with vendors for accurate current pricing. Call 605-212-6318 or submit a request online.

What areas do you serve?

Do you offer financing for remodeling projects?

Yes. Qualified Carpentry offers home improvement financing through SoFi. This allows you to move forward with your kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or any other project without waiting. Ask about financing options during your written estimate or visit our financing page.

What is an egress window and do I need one in my basement?

An egress window is a window large enough to serve as an emergency exit. South Dakota building codes require egress windows in all finished basement bedrooms. If you are finishing your basement or converting a space to a bedroom, an egress window is required by code. Qualified Carpentry handles full egress window installation throughout the Sioux Falls area.

How long does a bathroom remodel typically take?

Most bathroom remodels take between one and three weeks depending on scope. A cosmetic refresh with new vanity and fixtures runs about one week. A full gut renovation with custom tile, new layout, and plumbing changes typically takes two to three weeks. Todd will give you a realistic timeline during your written estimate.

Do you handle commercial projects as well as residential?

Yes. Qualified Carpentry handles both residential remodels and commercial projects including office buildouts, retail renovations, and commercial construction throughout the Sioux Falls metro area. Contact us to discuss your commercial project needs.
