A Personal Connection at the Sioux Falls Farm Show
Mark Elliott, CEO of Keep It Local ® had the privilege of catching up with a longtime friend, Tim Stenberg , owner and president of Joshua Homes, at the 2025 Farm Show in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Their friendship goes back many years, and this conversation revealed deep insights into the housing needs of farmers and the unique offerings by Joshua Homes.
A Deep-Rooted Passion for Farming and Home Building
Tim Stenberg’s connection to farming runs deep. Growing up on a century farm in central Iowa, Tim developed a strong respect for farm life. This upbringing is reflected in his work with Joshua Holmes, where the black and gold logo pays homage to the Iowa Hawkeyes. His dedication to the rural community is evident in his commitment to building quality twin homes for farmers transitioning to new phases of life.
The “No Mow, No Snow, Just Go” Philosophy
Initially skeptical, Mark Elliott came to appreciate Tim Stenberg’s catchy tagline: “No Mo, No Snow, Just Go.” This phrase encapsulates the lifestyle offered by twin homes in Sioux Falls. With homeowners associations handling lawn care, snow removal, garbage service, and more, retirees and busy families can simplify their lives and spend more time enjoying life. The consistency of service and neighborhood aesthetics add an extra layer of convenience and appeal.
An Unwavering Commitment to Quality and Detail
Tim Stenberg’s steadfast loyalty to his subcontractors and suppliers over the past 29 years ensures consistent quality across all Joshua Homes projects. His approach to building is meticulous, paying attention to every detail, from slow-motion cabinets to tornado shelters and ingenious garage drainage solutions. These twin homes are built to be practical, functional, and ready for any challenge South Dakota weather can bring.
Catering to the Needs of Empty Nesters
Joshua Homes’ appeal to empty nesters is significant. With an eye toward the future, Tim is catering to those looking to downsize without compromising on comfort or quality. Many homes feature main-floor living without stairs, accommodating potential mobility issues and maximizing convenience with slab-on-grade construction.
Custom Home Builders with Versatility
While twin homes are a primary focus, Joshua Homes also offers custom and spec homes, adapting quality building techniques across various projects. With a strong presence in both the Sioux Empire and north-central Iowa, Stenberg’s team ensures a seamless experience from start to finish. An in-house interior designer guides clients through every decision, bringing together elements like paint, cabinets, and countertops to create cohesive and personalized spaces.
Building Homes, Building Memories
In closing, the interview highlighted the Joshua Promise: a commitment to building quality homes where families can gather and create lasting memories. Tim Stenberg and his team at Joshua Homes invite prospective homeowners to consider their build for its exceptional standards and dedication to crafting spaces that feel like home.
