"I used Jensen Builders for two projects in Des Moines and was very satisfied—so much so that I chose them again for my second project. Like others who weren't selected for the Body Shop project, I found Jim Elliot to be very professional and truly enjoyed working with him—he was a great help. I also built some strong relationships with several employees in the field. Overall, the quality of work was very good."
