"We’ve enjoyed working with Jensen Builders on multiple projects over the years. From several additions to our last location on Story Street to our newest location, built completely from the ground up at the intersection of Highway 30 and Highway 17. Jensen Builders makes it so we can continue to run our day-to-day business and not have to babysit the project ourselves. The projects they’ve been involved with have always been completed on time or sooner and on budget. Plus, they’ve always been great to work with."
