The APLL Homes Story
APLL Homes was founded by partners Sandro and Stephanie Tadic, who bring together years of experience in real estate and home design. What began as a vision to raise the standard of homebuilding in the Des Moines metro has grown into a boutique building company focused on delivering premium, move-in ready homes that families truly love.
APLL Homes isn’t just a name — it’s a reflection of who we are. Inspired by the first initials of our children, it represents the values we hold dear: family, integrity and a commitment to building homes that stand the test of time.
For Sandro and Stephanie, homebuilding is personal. Every detail—from ceiling beams to covered decks, from solid-core doors to thoughtfully chosen lots—is considered with the future homeowner in mind. Their goal isn’t just to build houses, but to create spaces that feel tailored, livable, and lasting.
With APLL Homes, you’re not just buying a home—you’re choosing craftsmanship, care, and a dedicated partner in your home journey.

The husband-and-wife team behind APLL Homes combine craftsmanship and creativity to build homes that feel both beautiful and livable.

Their homes are made to be lived in, loved and cherished for years to come.

Sandro Tadic
Owner
Sani’s passion for building began more than two decades ago with remodeling and flipping homes — transforming dated spaces into fresh, functional and character-filled designs. That hands-on experience laid the foundation for what APLL Homes is today.
With over 12 years of professional experience in the industry, Sani brings both a builder’s expertise and a craftsman’s eye to every home he creates. He knows that a truly great home isn’t just about how it looks — it’s about how it feels and how it’s lived in. From the layout to the smallest finishing detail, every decision is made with care and intention.
Known for his integrity, calm approach and dedication to doing things the right way, Sani takes pride in building homes that last — places where families can grow, gather and make lasting memories.

Stephanie Tadic

Steph’s approach is all about blending style with purpose. She believes every home should be as practical as it is inspiring, and her meticulous attention to detail shines through in every design decision. Her background in real estate provides valuable insight into what homeowners truly want — and how to bring that vision to life.
Whether she’s sketching new ideas, selecting finishes or collaborating one-on-one with clients, Steph pours her heart into creating homes that reflect real life — warm, timeless and uniquely personal.
