I contacted Jensen Construction to help me with several exterior repairs including replacing some aging railings on my deck. Dave assessed the needed repairs, purchased the necessary materials, and made all the requested repairs on the arranged date. His repair work exceeded my expectations and was done in a neat and timely fashion. For example, he noticed that the walkway to the front door had some trip hazards and offered to fix the situation for me. I was aware of the problem, but didn't know of a way to fix it without rebuilding the entire walkway, so I hadn't asked him about it. I was thrilled that he was able to remedy this hazard and solve a problem I had been worrying about! Additionally, when he fixed my gate, he suggested adding a locking pin to connect one side of the gate to the ground, stabilizing it unless it need to open to allow a vehicle or other large object through. This will help prevent recurrence of my gate issues, and makes the gate work better for day to day use. When he suggested it to me at our initial meeting, I agreed but only later did I realize that this pin would change the repair into a valuable upgrade of the gate. These are 2 reasons I was impressed and extremely satisfied with the work. The last reason came later, when I received my bill. The total cost of the repair did not go up even with the extra work done to remove obstructions from my walkway. In fact, the final bill was very reasonable, and - clearly - was worth every penny. In sum, Jensen Construction went over and above what I thought was possible. Not only did he make the requested repairs, he also made the property safer and less likely to need future repairs. I highly recommend Jensen Construction and look forward to working with this company in the future.
Description of Work: I needed repairs made on my deck railings as well as on a fence and my gate.

Went very well, Dave came out to the house and looked over the area. He contacted me as soon he was able to nail down a price on the glass to give me the estimate. The estimate was in my allotted budget so we agreed to have the work done. He then ordered the window and began work promptly once the glass was ready. He brought his son as a helper, they were efficient and thorough. The job was done right. I’m certainly going to call them when I have work to be done in the future.

Out of several contractors whom I contacted Mr Jensen was the only one who returned my phone call promptly, gave a realistic timeline and a quote. I am so grateful that he doesn't mind taking on small jobs between large, time-consuming contracts. He was very professional, got done quickly and did a superb job on the gate.

I used Dave and David to do similar work at my condo. I knew this job would be more difficult as I was remodeling my old Turnagain home built in 1957 with its uneven framing and subflooring. They performed quality work throughout the project and I don't have any complaints. Dave is good about working with the homeowner to accomplish the style and look they want. These guys are definitely my go to guys for all my remodeling needs as I know they will do the work right and up to my standards.
Description of Work: Replace windows, interior and exterior doors, install flooring, install kitchen and bathroom cabinets, install baseboard/door/window trim, build closet organization systems, various miscellaneous work
Dave Jensen worked with us months in advance to understand what how we wanted the kitchen layout, cabinets and counter top design to be like. Dave always looks like he is thinking out loud (which he is), and that might make you think he is not listening. HE IS listening, and is very perceptive. This resulted in all kinds of mistake-avoidance that helped our project immensely, especially when we were working with the great cabinet guy (Matt Ess) at Builders Millwork Supply. When the project actually began, Dave and David were extremely professional, efficient, and effective. They also work well with their go-to electrician, who consults - then David does the work. They worked with a plumber who consulted - then David did most of that work. Every single aspect of the work Dave and David Jensen did was fantastic and perfect to the smallest detail. I can't wait to have them work on our home again.

Dave Jensen was immediately responsive to my request for an estimate for construction of a cedar privacy fence at my new home. His pricing was competitive and his work was excellent. He worked efficiently with my narrow time line and went above and beyond in doing extra things to fix my adjacent gate and cut down and saw up a tree trunk that needed to be removed. The fence is graded nicely and is beautiful to look at. My yard feels transformed. Dave has done other smaller jobs in our home that were also of very high quality. I highly recommend his work to anyone. He is at the top of my list for future work as well.
Things were done in a timely fashion for a reasonable price. Dave had to be creative as he was modifying someone else's sub-standard work. He did a nice job without tearing everything out and starting again. Was satisfied with that work, so asked that he build this little counter top desk in a small alcove in the basement. Another contractor had said he would do, but never showed up. I guessed it was not a big enough job. No problem for Dave. Got it done then came back to put another coat of finish on it because he wasn’t satisfied. My sense is that he has a real and personal appreciation for quality and workmanship.
Description of Work: There were some sloppy details left by previous remodel. Dave took care of those. In addition, he built a small desk counter top in a closet size space in the basement.

Mr. Jensen responded promptly to my request for an estimate. He said since it was a small job he could work it in sometime this summer. He called about three weeks later, and while I was at work did a very satisfactory job of jacking up and leveling the deck, adding supports and readjusting drooping gates. He remembered everything we had agreed to, stuck to the estimate and cleaned up after himself.
Description of Work: Leveling deck, and readjusting gates to hang level.
Dave and David Jensen did a great job on our house. They pay attention to detail. Craftsmanship is top notch and they do not cut corners. They are hard workers and very efficient at what they do. You get great results at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Jensen Construction.

It went great! We had this large fake stone fireplace against a wood paneled wall. Dave and his son did a beautiful job sheet rocking, texturizing and painting the wall, removing all the fake stone from the fireplace, and added a great looking mantel. We will definitely hire Dave again when we are able to do more house projects!
I have a small alcove above our gas fireplace in the living room where the previous owners had a 73 pound, 42 inch TV professionally installed (or so I thought). When it came time to upgrade the TV, I discovered that there were no studs there and the TV was hanging from just reinforced drywall. Also, the area was poorly insulated and had no vapor barrier. I asked Dave and son to cut into the wall, install some studs for the TV mount to attach to, and improve the insulation/vapor barrier situation. They did an outstanding job of adding the studs, filling up the void with insulation, installing a vapor barrier, and even went above and beyond by redoing the electrical and HDMI boxes so that they could better seal those areas off with foam. Once finished, it looked much better than it originally had and after painting you couldn't tell anything had been done, plus it is now noticeably warmer there. I really appreciated their craftsmanship, attention to detail - especially when refinishing and retexturing the wall, and a strong desire for the finished product to be perfect. I will definitely be hiring Jensen Construction again!

Once the windows were delivered the work went quickly and efficiently. Dave even notice a couple of repairs that he just took care of such as siding under the deck that had been improperly caulked and front door that needed adjustment. I received several quotes for the work and Dave provided the best quality windows for the best price. Very pleased with the end result.
Description of Work: Dave replaced three old windows with new energy efficient ones and installed new interior and exterior trim.
Dave Jensen arrived on schedule and with one more man he competed work in three days. Dave had also recommend the best window or our purpose, so we'd already taken a look at the warehouse. They carefully removed wallboard and insulation, cut three exterior studs, added a large beam and reinforced it with wood supports and metal angles, also moving wires where needed. They centered it between existing light fixtures. Then they cut the exterior boards, inserted the new 5' x 5' window, thoroughly sealed the edges with foam and caulking, added exterior trim, and caulked again. They repaired sheetrock and retextured it to look like the original, added interior trim, and painted everything. They put down drop cloths and were very careful using vacuums to minimize dust in our living room. It looks great, like original construction.
Description of Work: We asked Dave Jensen to install a new picture window in a high exterior wall, and to add a storm door outside our front door. We also wanted advice on window size and type. We selected Dave because we'd been very happy with another challenging project he'd done for us several years ago.

After I cut a few holes in the ceiling and consulted with an engineer to ensure the wall was not load bearing, Dave and his son made quick work of the demolition and had the new drywall up in a day and half. We are very pleased with the work that was performed.
Description of Work: Dave and his son removed a wall on our first floor to open up our family room. There was a small, really unusable bedroom on the same level that we wanted to incorporate into the family room to make it more open.
Dave was very responsive and completed the work on time. His finished product is excellent and he is a stickler for detail. The work is A+ quality.
Description of Work: Remove old laminate flooring and carpet throughout bedrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room, stairs and entry way. Installed new luxury vinyl tile and Berber carpet, new door and trim throughout. Also, repaired broken subfloor and screwed subfloor down to get rid of squeaks.

Dave and his crew did an amazing job on the install of the windows! The large picture window I had changed from wood trim and windows that did not open to vinyl windows with two casement openers. Since vinyl is not as strong and the windows were so large, he added a wood support piece in the center and brought it all together with the trim and it looks fabulous! I've already gotten compliments on the new windows and what a difference in temperature in my home it has made already! My front door was always difficult to open, had to be done with two hands before, and now it's super easy and perfectly fits in the frame! And no major drafts under the doors anymore! Dave and his crew did all the work as agreed and got it done quicker than planned! We butted heads a couple times initially but were able to come to a compromise and he was very fair and thorough! I'm hoping to hire him again to finish the rest of my home next year!
Description of Work: I replaced two doors, two small side windows in my living room, a huge 4-section picture window, and a ten foot trapezoid window above that also in my living room.

It is rare to hire someone that takes PRIDE in his WORD and in his WORK !! He was PUNCTUAL, HE DID GREAT WORK........AND WAS HONEST. The materials were less than he estimated and he and his son did it in one day not two. The original estimate was for $1,700 and my bill ended up being only $1,320. After owning this place for around 28 years, having repairs done and even building a two bedroom addition.......I FINALLY FOUND A CONSTRUCTION PERSON I CAN TRUST AND HOPE TO HIRE AGAIN.
Description of Work: Because of the heavy snow load this year and rotted posts in the carport.....a center post collapsed. I had not realized what bad shape it was in. It was probably built 30 years ago and has 4 metal beams and metal sheets on top. Where to start was the problem and there were no cement bases under the wooden posts. They were just put in dirt and gravel. Dave came within a day after I called him and we discussed what to do. There was still about a foot and a half of snow on it so we waited until it had melted. He gave me two estimates (one with pouring concrete and one without). We discussed the least expensive solution which was to put adjustable cement blocks under new 4" x 6" pressure treated posts. He removed four old posts and old bracing wood. He braced the new posts at the top wood and angled down to the posts with 4" x 4" pressure treated wood throughout the whole carport. Not only does it look great, it also looks sturdy enough to stand another 30 years. *****He even fixed a gate for me and put up "L" braces to the new wood I had put across the front that I had put up last summer. *****
