Our Values

What makes us get out of bed in the morning?

  • We strive to be the #1 choice for every reason. We source the best product, build the best team, offer the best price, and provide best service; all so we can be the BEST choice.

    Our customer service is truly above and beyond most, and we’re incredibly proud of that. Our promise to you is that we will always put your needs first, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

    From helping you find the perfect solution to expert installation and ongoing support, we’re here to exceed your expectations every step of the way.

  • We believe the world is in serious lack of healthy leaders.

    We also believe strong leaders are key to making the world a better place, and want to train all of our team to be great leaders; not only within 605 Blinds, but also in their families, schools, and community.

    That’s why we’ve created the ‘605 Blinds Leadership Fund’.

    With the 605 Blinds Leadership Fund, we’re able to invest into upcoming and existing leaders, fine-tuning and developing them to make positive impacts in their own communities and ultimately having them raise up and develop others.

    This multiplication effect is POWERFUL!

    5% of all 605 Blinds proceeds go to this fund.

  • We are committed to doing things the right way, every time. From the quality of our products to the professionalism of our team, we hold ourselves to the highest standards to ensure our customers and partners experience nothing but the best.

  • We believe in the power of teamwork — both within our company and alongside other home service providers. By building strong relationships with businesses that share our commitment to excellence, we create a network that elevates the customer experience and strengthens our community. Together, we can achieve more, inspire innovation, and set new standards for service.

Hi there! I’m Jon Sanders, one of the co-founders of 605 Blinds. I have been in service-based industries pretty much my entire adult life that has taken me on an exciting and interesting career path.

I have worked as a full-time professional firefighter/EMT for two different large cities as well as served on two volunteer fire departments in smaller, rural communities. My time spent in the role of a first responder gave me a strong foundation and passion for work that is primarily focused on serving others.

In 2004 my life took an interesting turn as I sensed a strong calling to serve people through pastoral ministry. I had the privilege of serving as a full-time pastor and church planter for nearly 17 years. I continue to work on staff at New Life Church in Sioux Falls and love the ways I get to serve people through that endeavor.

Over the years I also discovered a strong entrepreneurial gifting inside of me and have started several different businesses. I currently own and operate Dakota Small Jobs, a premier handyman business that serves the Sioux Falls community.

My son Jusin and I are excited to be working together to start 605 Blinds as yet another way for us to create value in our community and serve others.

In addition to all of my career work, some of the most important roles I get to fill are that of I’m a husband, dad, and now grandpa to two amazing grandsons (they call me “Papa Jon”!). When I’m not working or spending time with my family, some of the other ways I have include hunting, fishing, hiking, racquetball, and cheering for the Minnesota Vikings!

Hey! My name is Justin. I’m one of the owners at 605 Blinds.

I grew up in Flandreau, SD and moved to Sioux Falls in 2018 just after high school.

Being creative is one of my strong suits, especially in the artistic world. I love writing music, photography, and filmmaking.

At 17, this creativity led me to start my media production company called Sanders Media, creating photo and videos for businesses + events.

(We do a lot of real estate content!)

Another area this creativity has led me is to Arise Church in Sioux Falls, where I am on staff as the worship leader and my wife + kiddos call our church home.

In addition to that, (I got my hands in a lot of buckets, don’t I?) I write and record music with my friends in a full recording studio I built in my basement.

Through all of these creative endeavors I’ve found the underlying theme in all of them is serving others. I truly enjoy using the skills I’ve been given to serve other people.

Serving YOU is what I’m most excited about with 605 Blinds!

I’m looking forward to see where 605 Blinds and this next chapter in my life leads!
