Rosewood Homes did an incredible job on an addition to our older farmhouse. Rachael has the amazing ability to imagine and create exactly what you describe. When it comes to building, you truly get what you pay for, and with Rosewood Homes you get quality craftsmanship and attention to every detail.
-Brenda Whipkey
With my position in RPM I meet dozens of people a week. Often I am asked “who would you use for….” My favorite question is “who would you have build your home”?
When someone asked me “who would build your home”? I tell them without a doubt if I built a home in Sioux Falls tomorrow I would call Rachael at Rosewood homes.
Rosewood homes is so fun to recommend. When you give the wife a few details on how Rosewood finds the home plan that is right for her you can watch her eyes light up. And when you mention the price guarantee to the husband it’s his turn to get excited.
Thanks for giving me an awesome company to recommend.
-Derek Kattenberg, Real Estate Broker/Investor
Rachael designed and prior to building our dream home toured us through prior homes she designed and built, pointing out quality features incorporated in each home. She was very easy to work with and has a great eye for design. I would recommend Rosewood Homes to anyone looking for a quality custom built home.
-Thomas Westman
We bought our home from Rosewood Homes in 2010. It was the model home so we got a great price since the housing bubble had just burst, and it was a model so we got to see and feel the house before committing. Our house was very well made and we’ve had very little issues with it over the years. Rachael was always very responsive for any concerns we had.
-Dave and Andrea Henricksen
We had a great experience working with Rosewood Home & Real Estate! Rachael was easy to work with and very knowledgeable.
-Krista Boom
Bought a Single Family home in 2015 in Roosevelt, Sioux Falls, SD. Local knowledge: Process expertise: Responsiveness: Negotiation skills: We recently purchased a home through Rosewood Homes. They were very easy to work with throughout the entire searching and purchasing process. We found Rosewood Homes to be flexible and amicable in adjusting to our needs as we refined the search for a home within our price range, prospective location and the type of home we had initially identified as meeting our needs. We found Rosewood Homes to be honest and open without undue influence, as well as being positive, informative, and knowledgeable. They were approachable when we had concerns. They also maintained a good balance between being warm and friendly with being professional. This made the process of looking for a home very positive. We highly recommend Rosewood Homes & Real Estate.
-Joel Huber
We had an amazing experience building our home with Larry & Rachael and I cannot say enough good things about them and their process. This was our first experience designing and building a custom home and they made it incredibly easy. They were with us every step of the way, helping us with decisions that needed to be made and products, such as flooring, cabinets, and lighting, that needed to be purchased. Every decision was made with our wishes at the forefront while trying to keep us within (or close to:)) our desired budget. The quality of the work and the extra little touches they put into their houses to make them a “home” are second to none and we couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. They communicated frequently with us throughout the process and on regular intervals after we moved in. In fact, several months after we moved in, I asked Rachael if it was normal for me to “miss” talking to her. We have a beautiful home that we love. Thank you Larry and Rachael.
-Sarah Hedden
Rachael and Larry built us the home of our dreams! We brought our ideas to a few different builders and after meeting them, knew they had our vision as well. We loved picking everything out ahead of time as it made the building process so much smoother and with minimal delays. Larry had a great eye on the job site and made great modifications to our custom home that turned out better than we imagined! Their subcontractors were amazing to work with and very approachable and would even call us if there was a question or thought a modification was needed to make our home even better. The build came in very close to budget and much better than many of our friends who have built with other contractors. Would recommend them to anyone especially hearing what some of our neighbors have went through building with other contractors!! I can still pick up the phone and call them today with any home project needed and if they can’t do it themselves, they will give me the name of someone who can and with their contact, things get done real quick as their subcontractors have a great relationship with them!
-Dr. Neil Brummond
What first turned us on to Rosewood Homes was the Sioux Falls Fall Parade of Homes where we met Larry. We had been chatting with many builders during the parade and many were not warm to our ideas as it appeared many preferred to build ranch style homes. Larry was very open to our idea of a traditional 2 story and had us work with Rachael to arrange viewing similar homes that they had recently built. They had our business from that moment. We would highly recommend Rosewood Homes & Real Estate, Inc. if you are wanting to build a custom home in the Sioux Falls region.
-Christopher and Robin Burnley
Rosewood Homes did my whole-house remodel. That included gutting the kitchen, changing layout of the master bath and closet, replacing a fireplace, and extensive flooring. I’m pleased with the quality of the work, and that the job stayed on schedule. The up-front estimate was impressively accurate, and every change was priced before the work was done. There were no surprises, which is hard to believe for a project of this scope. Larry and Rachael are great to work with. I will definitely call on them for future projects.
-Cathy Smith
Rosewood Homes & Real Estate, Inc. are truly some of the most wonderful service providers in town. Both Larry and Rachael go above and beyond to make sure they not only identify their clients’ needs but also do their best to meet them. They are straightforward and honest people who are truly looking out for the best interests of all they work with! I would highly recommend working with them for all of your home, renovation, buying or selling needs. They’ll do all they can to make sure that you are happy!
-Vinson Dahn

Rosewood Homes & Real Estate of Sioux Falls, Builder & Remodeler did excellent work remodeling our bathroom. Prep work insured that dust would not filter throughout the house. The floors and walls were protected from any damage. Our shower and cabinet addition turned out beautifully with high quality workmanship. Ceiling repair was perfect as well. Larry and Rachel were easy to work with and were able to put our ideas into a perfect plan and outcome. We are delighted with the result!

As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about the entire process. Rachael made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.

We hired Rosewood Homes to renovate our kitchen, including removing a load-bearing wall. Larry and Rachael were professional from start to finish. The project was completed on time and on budget. We could not be happier with the results! Highly recommend Rosewood Homes for any remodeling project.
~Kelly Lang, Google Review
I had a wonderful experience working with Rachel and Larry finding the right home for my boys and I. Rachel listened and knew what was important to me when it came to deciding to either build a home or find an existing home. Building a home was not in the cards for us, but Rachel and Larry worked diligently to find a lot that would work in the area of Sioux Falls we wanted to live in. In the meantime, we stumbled across a beautiful home and decided to take that route instead. Thank you Rachel and Larry for your patience in finding the right home for my family! Boys LOVED the ‘smores gift’ you gave them 🙂
-Giselle Marie
We had Rosewood Homes come and add an addition onto our older farm house and they did an incredible job. I told them I didn’t want it to look like we added on to and it looks amazing. Rachael is blessed with the ability to imagine and create your home exactly as you describe it only better! They are not cheap by any means but they do a great job. You get what you pay for.
-Brenda Whipkey
Rachael and Larry were wonderful to work with. The whole process for the remodel of my basement was easy and stress-free. From the selection of materials with Rachael till the last stroke of the paintbrush, everything was taken care of. The crews were here on time and did a fantastic job. We even had to adjust the plan originally layed out due to the structural composition of my basement walls and Larry handled this with ease. Rachael and Larry from Rosewood Homes really know what they are doing. Not only do I recommend them, I will hire them again when I need professional work done in the future.
-Chad Larson
We had Rachael and her husband enclose the bottom of our deck for storage. He came out and talked with my husband at length about options and what to think about so we didn’t compromise the deck itself. We got the bid and they were honest that they could be a couple weeks out. We were so impressed with the time they spent with us we accepted. A few days later we got the call they had a free crew and two days later our project was done. Both Rachael and her husband followed up with us. Awesome service. Highly recommend.
-Salena Watkins Reimer
Rosewood did a terrific job! They sold our existing house & built our new house all in 4 months of time. Streamlined process, making it very easy to communicate with Rachel and Larry. They were very helpful making suggestions, coordinating building our house & selling of our existing house. Everything was carefully planned out! Rachel was thoughtful when creating our perfect floor plan, implementing many details along the way. They were able to coordinate the closing of our Existing HOME with our Custom Built HOME, allowing us to move directly into our new place. We would highly recommend Rosewood to anyone that is Building & Selling their current home.
– Clinton & Bobbi
Sold my existing home in under 24 hours, worked with me to design a floor plan that fit my needs and they have such a great working relationship with their contractors my new house was built in about 88 days!! I didn’t need to have temporary housing between selling existing home and moving into newly built home!
– Leanna Eastman
Our kitchen and an upstairs remodel was a great experience. Rachel and Larry understood what we were trying to do and carried it out on time, under budget, with great craftsmanship. We’ve fixed up our home for years, but they took it to that next level, doing the work that would have taken us years in just weeks. They used quality materials and have a team of talented subcontractors they work with. We’re picky about our projects everything exceeded our standards, We love our neighborhood and we love our home. I just can’t recommend them enough.
Jennifer Gerrietts-Masters
Rosewood Homes did a great job remodeling my kitchen/dining/living room! They were responsive and honest answering questions and providing ideas. As a first time remodeler, I appreciated the direction provided when asked for. Their contractors were easy to work with and best of all, the work was done quickly and efficiently. Thanks Rachael and Larry. Love my “new” home!
Jeanine Scheetz
We would wholeheartedly recommend Rosewood Homes to anyone considering building their dream home or selling a property. Attention to detail and a passion for quality and satisfaction define Rosewood Homes. We had Larry and Rachel build our home in 2008. After deciding to retire and move south in 2017, Rachael effectively marketed our home for a very satisfactory sale. It is a great advantage to have your contractor/builder as your real estate professional.
-Ken and Deb Wilson
We used Rosewood Homes to build out our office space. In getting several bids, Rosewood had the most aggressive timeline to complete, and they came in on budget and on time. I have also used them for home renovations and they exceeded expectations in all categories there as well. Quick turnaround times and on budget. If you want a personal touch to your building or remodeling experience Rosewood is 2nd to none.
-Jay Larson
Rachael and Larry work very well together and they both were wonderful to work with. We hired them to remodel our kitchen and dining room. Everything went great and his crew was very respectful of our home and to us as well. From tearing down a wall to installing new flooring, an island and pantry, it only took about 3 weeks from start to finish. We encourage anyone who is interested in remodeling or building to give them a call.
