Key Takeaways

If your family has outgrown your current home but you love your neighborhood, a home addition can be one of the smartest investments you make.
Hjellming Construction has been completing remodeling projects and additions in Sioux Falls since 1962, and over the decades, a handful of project types have consistently delivered the most value and everyday enjoyment for homeowners.
Here are the additions worth considering for your Sioux Falls home.
Kitchen Additions and Expansions
The kitchen remains the heart of most homes, and expanding it is one of the most valuable remodeling investments a Sioux Falls homeowner can make.
A kitchen addition can open up space for a larger island, a walk-in pantry, or a more functional layout for cooking and entertaining. Because kitchens see daily use, even a modest expansion tends to deliver a noticeable improvement in how a home lives and how it’s valued.

Primary Suite Additions
Adding or expanding a primary suite gives homeowners a private retreat with room for a spacious bedroom, a spa-style bathroom, and a larger closet. These additions are especially popular among Sioux Falls homeowners who purchased their home years ago, before larger primary suites became a standard expectation in new construction.
Second-Story Additions
For homeowners with a smaller lot who don’t have room to build outward, adding a second story can be an excellent way to gain significant square footage without changing your home’s footprint. This approach works well for adding bedrooms, a bonus room, or additional living space while keeping your existing yard and landscaping intact.
Sunrooms and Four-Season Rooms
South Dakota’s changing seasons make a well-built sunroom or four-season room an especially rewarding addition. These spaces bring in natural light year-round and create a comfortable spot to enjoy the outdoors without the extremes of a Sioux Falls winter or summer.
Garage Additions and Expansions
Additional garage space is consistently one of the most requested upgrades from Sioux Falls homeowners, whether for a growing collection of vehicles, extra storage, or a workshop. A garage addition is also a practical way to add functional square footage that supports everyday life.
Basement Finishing

Finishing an existing basement adds livable square footage without expanding your home’s footprint at all. A finished basement can become a family room, home theater, additional bedrooms, or a private space for guests, making it one of the more cost-effective ways to add usable space to a Sioux Falls home.
What Makes an Addition Worth the Investment
- It solves a real, everyday need for your household
- It’s designed to match the style and flow of your existing home
- It’s built with quality materials suited to South Dakota’s climate
