Houtman Construction Inc — Custom Home Builder & Remodeler in Brookings, SD (Est. 1981)
Gerald Houtman started the company in 1981. By 1997, his son George and George’s wife Ronda had taken ownership, and Jeremie — George and Ronda’s son — now works alongside them, making Houtman a three-generation operation with over four decades of building history concentrated in the Brookings area.
The company builds custom homes from scratch and handles residential renovations across kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and additions. What distinguishes them from volume builders is the degree of client involvement Houtman actively builds into the process. Homeowners aren’t handed a finished product and told it matches their vision; they’re part of the decisions at each phase from initial site work through finishes.
Services
- Custom Home Building — New residential construction from site selection through framing, mechanical rough-in, and final finishes. Each home is structured around the way the clients actually live, not a developer’s floor plan.
- Home Renovations — Kitchen remodels, bathroom upgrades, basement finishing, and whole-home improvements. The company applies the same craftsmanship standard to renovations that it brings to new construction.
- Home Additions and Land Development — Room additions and structural expansions for homeowners who want more space without moving, plus land development services for clients building on raw parcels.
Service area
Brookings, South Dakota, and surrounding Brookings County communities.
