18 trades. 6+ cities. One tough network connecting South Dakota homeowners with vetted local pros.
South Dakota homes get hit differently than anywhere else, and we've learned what that means. South Dakota's blizzards, extreme cold, and hailstorms drive demand for heating systems, hail-resistant roofing, and frozen-pipe repair. Our pros in South Dakota live with these conditions daily, so diagnosis is faster, the materials chosen actually hold up here, and scheduling fits your seasons instead of fighting them.
On licensing: South Dakota does not license general contractors at the state level, but electrical and plumbing contractors are licensed by the state. We verify every pro's credentials for their trade and municipality before they take a single Rock Hands job. No paper pros, no handymen cosplaying as electricians.
Emergency at midnight, remodel next spring, same standard across South Dakota and all 50 states. Vetted pros, written upfront pricing, clean job sites, fixed-right guarantee. The trades below each carry their own dedicated South Dakota line, answered by a person, not a phone tree.
If it's an emergency, don't wait on a form. Water spreading, power out, a tree in your living room, emergency trades dispatch 24/7 across South Dakota and emergency calls go straight to the front. Open the trade you need and call, a dispatcher gets moving on your problem immediately.

The trades South Dakota homeowners call us for most, each with a dedicated local line.
Leaks, clogs, water heaters, fixed right, the first time. Plumbing problems never improve on their own.
Roof repair and replacement done right, backed in writing. Your roof is the single most important protective system on your home, and it fails gradually until it fails suddenly.
Fast AC and heating repair, installs, and tune-ups. Heating and cooling systems always fail at the worst possible moment, the first heat wave of summer or the coldest night of winter.
Bathrooms designed around how you actually live. Bathroom remodels deliver some of the highest return of any home project, but only when they are planned around real daily use.
Kitchens built for cooking, gathering, and everyday life. The kitchen is the most-used and most-scrutinized room in the house, which is why remodels here pay back in both daily enjoyment and resale value.
Kick pests out, and keep them out for good. Few things are more stressful than pests in your home.
The fastest hire is usually the one you regret. A bad job costs twice, once to do it, once to fix it. Here's the checklist our dispatchers wish every South Dakota homeowner ran through before signing anything, built from the mistakes they hear about daily:
1. Verify the license, don't take their word for it. Ask for the license number and check it against South Dakota's licensing records. Licensed pros have passed exams, carry required insurance, and can be held accountable. Unlicensed operators vanish when problems surface.
2. Demand proof of insurance. General liability and workers' comp, current and in force. If a worker gets hurt on your property and there's no coverage, the liability can land on you. A real pro shows certificates without blinking.
3. Get the scope and price in writing. Verbal quotes evaporate. Your written estimate should spell out exactly what's included, what isn't, the materials being used, and the timeline. Every Rock Hands estimate comes this way, free, before work starts.
4. Never pay the full amount upfront. A deposit for materials is normal on big jobs; full payment before completion is a red flag. Milestone-based payments tied to finished work keep everyone honest.
5. Ask about the final walkthrough. A pro confident in their work wants you inspecting it. Our fixed-right guarantee means the job isn't done until you sign off, and if something isn't right, we come back and make it right.
6. Check how they handle surprises. Every home hides something, old wiring, rotted subfloor, a previous owner's creative plumbing. Ask upfront how change-orders work: are you notified before extra cost is incurred, and do you approve it in writing? Pros who answer clearly have done this before. Pros who dodge the question haven't, or worse, they profit from the ambiguity.
