Seykora Remodeling is a leader in the construction industry. Jason Seykora and his team are one of the few local companies that focus on and specialize in the niche market of residential remodeling. With more than 25 years of experience in the industry, Jason has one goal: “Make the remodeling process as easy as possible for our customers so they can have the result they envision.”
Prior to starting Seykora Remodeling, Jason worked for and learned from other local contractors, many of whom are still in business today. Through those experiences and incredible learning opportunities, Jason developed a love for building.
“I still love watching projects evolve through each stage. There is just something about seeing a project go from vision to reality, knowing that we were a part of that transition. I’m not sure it will ever get old,” Jason expressed.
Jason is a Sioux Falls native and attended the University of South Dakota while continuing to work for a local contractor on school breaks. Following the completion of a Mass Communications degree, Jason continued to work for and with local contractors; he knew that sitting behind a desk or working in an office was not where his passion was.
In 2007, Jason’s first construction business, a partnership, failed. “That was tough. You think you have it figured out, and then you don’t. It was time to pivot, for me and for my family.” One month before his first child was due to be born, determined to turn his passion for building into a career, Jason took a leap of faith and started Seykora Remodeling.
“I was on my own as a one-man crew for nearly five years but was fortunate to have the best customers who referred me to their friends and families. The business continued to grow steadily, and in 2013, I made the decision to hire my first full-time employee in order to keep up with our expanding workload, as well as continue to offer the quality our customers deserved,” Jason revealed.
Today, the company still has that first employee, Jeremiah Lohrman. “Jeremiah is someone I trust and rely on. If you do a project with Seykora Remodeling, you will work with Jeremiah at some point,” Jason said.
In addition to Jeremiah, Jacob Peterson has been with the Seykora Remodeling team for seven years. Jason and his team are also incredibly proud to work with a long list of trusted and tenured subcontractors and vendors. Jason attributes a large majority of the success of Seykora Remodeling to the loyal employees and partners who work hand in hand with customers to get each project across the finish line. “I can’t say it enough, I have the best team. We know each other well. We know our strengths and our weaknesses, and we know how to be efficient to meet our goals.”
Jason and his team specialize in remodeling rather than new builds and generally turn their focus to residential projects over commercial work. “Ideally, our customers are living in a neighborhood they love, but are ready to make some upgrades to their current home. Many of these projects include multiple improvements the homeowners want completed. Some of our customers move out and complete all of their ‘honey do’ list in one shot, but most customers complete their list of projects over time,” Jason said.
“One of the things that makes our company unique is the daily customer interaction. Unlike new builds, our customers are almost always living in their homes while our team is demoing and rebuilding. Because we see the homeowners, and their families most days, it is important that the contractor/homeowner relationship is a good fit for everyone.”
Seykora Remodeling continues to grow and is always looking forward to working with new and existing customers on their next project. From replacing old windows to kitchen renovations or luxury pool houses, no two projects are ever the same, and no project is too big or too small for Jason and his team.
