Qualified Carpentry Serves Worthing, SD
Worthing is a small Lincoln County town along Interstate 29 south of Sioux Falls, close enough to commute and far enough that homeowners get real yard space. That yard space is why Worthing has become one of Todd Nelson's strongest deck and outdoor living markets, including the deck a Worthing client called the best deck in town.
Deck work in Worthing means more than a rectangle off the back door. Todd builds multi-level composite and cedar decks, built-in bench seating, pergolas and covered structures, and he sets footings for South Dakota frost depth so nothing heaves after the first hard winter. Larger lots also mean room for outdoor kitchens and screened structures with MagnaTrack motorized screens.
Indoors, Worthing housing runs from older in-town homes to newer builds on the edges, so Todd handles both full kitchen rebuilds and lighter cabinetry and trim upgrades. Because Worthing is a small town where reputation travels fast, most of his work here comes from neighbors of past clients rather than advertising.
Qualified Carpentry holds a City of Sioux Falls Residential Building Contractor license, is fully bonded and insured, and is a member of the National Association of Home Builders. That same standard of work comes to every community we serve, including Worthing.

THE PROCESS
How a Worthing Project Works
The same steps on every job, whether it is a trim package or a full kitchen.
1. Tell Todd About the Project
Call 605-212-6318 or send the details through the estimate form. Todd answers his own phone. You are not routed to a call center or handed to a salesperson.
2. Measurements & Details
Most projects need measurements and a clear picture of the existing conditions before anything can be priced. Todd gathers what he needs, in person when the job calls for it.
3. Current Vendor Pricing
Estimates are not handed out on the spot. Materials, cabinets, windows, and specialty products are quoted with vendors so the number you receive reflects current pricing.
4. Written Estimate
You get a written estimate covering scope, materials, and what is included, so there are no surprises once work begins.
5. Build & Final Walkthrough
Todd does the work himself with a small trusted crew, keeps the site clean, and walks the finished project with you before it is called done.
What Affects Project Cost in Worthing
Todd will not throw out a number over the phone to win the job. Every Worthing estimate is written after measurements and current vendor pricing, and these are the factors that move it.

Common Questions About Contractor Services in Worthing
Is Qualified Carpentry known for decks in Worthing, SD?
Yes. Worthing is one of Todd Nelson's strongest deck markets, and a Worthing client called his work the best deck in town. He builds multi-level composite and cedar decks with built-in seating and pergolas, licensed, bonded and insured, with 32 years in the trade.
How do you keep a Worthing deck from heaving in winter?
Footings are the answer. Todd Nelson sets deck footings below South Dakota frost depth and details ledger flashing and framing so the structure does not lift or rot. Thirty-two years of building in this climate is what separates a deck that lasts from one that moves.
Can you build an outdoor kitchen or pergola in Worthing?
Yes. Worthing lots have room for outdoor kitchens, pergolas and covered structures, and Todd Nelson builds them along with the deck itself. He is a licensed, bonded and insured general contractor and an authorized MagnaTrack installer for motorized retractable screens on covered spaces.
Does Todd remodel older homes in downtown Worthing?
Yes. Older Worthing homes often need full kitchen and bath rebuilds rather than cosmetic updates. Todd Nelson handles layout changes, custom cabinetry, tile and trim, with 32 years of experience including nine years in cabinetry design and installation before founding Qualified Carpentry.
How far is Worthing from Todd's other job sites?
Worthing sits about 18 miles south of Sioux Falls on Interstate 29, close to Lennox, Harrisburg and Canton where Todd Nelson also works. That keeps travel short and scheduling realistic. Qualified Carpentry serves communities within roughly 30 miles of Sioux Falls.
Who does Todd bring onto a Worthing jobsite?
Todd Nelson does the carpentry himself and brings in a small group of trusted Sioux Falls area electricians, plumbers and mechanical trades when a Worthing job requires them. He is the licensed general contractor responsible for the schedule, the permits and the finished result.
