Way beyond our expectations. Still enjoying it today, six years later. **★★★★★ — jlb0619, Oct. 2016** > Joe Jensen from Confluence Construction did an excellent job building our structurally insulated panel home. Since the house site was away from Missoula, he pretty much camped out at the site during the build. Because of this and his great insite, he was able to make suggestions during construction that made our home even more livable. He was very good about keeping us on budget when sending us out to select building materials. All I had to do was ask what the budget was and then only asked to see materials within that price range. We consider him to be more than our builder, he is now our frien, too. **★★★★★ — User, July 2015** > I've worked with Confluence Construction on a few remodel projects, including a complete renovation of a condominium in the historic Wilma building. Despite the inherent quirks of an old building (e.g. walls not square to one another, mysterious pipes leading to nowhere), Joe and his crew did a fantastic job transforming the space. Additionally, Joe's sense of humor and easy-going demeanor made working together a pleasure. Bonus points for being kind to my dog! **★★★★★ — mtkaz, July 2015** > We hired Confluence Construction for a significant remodeling project, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. In a town full of capable contractors, what stands out is Joe's exemplary communication style and his ability to attract good subs. The bottom line is that people--from homeowners to carpenters to plumbers--like working with Joe. > > We came into our remodel a bit gun-shy because of previous strife with another contractor. Invariably, problems do crop up in a remodeling job, and the key is how a contractor handles those problems. Joe proved to be attentive and engaged in resolving the issues that arose with our project. He was always honest (and refreshingly, never patronizing). > > Joe brings great energy, ideas, people and resources to the table. We highly recommend him and will most certainly involve him in early stages of any future projects we do. **★★★★★ — harveyfamily550, June 2015** > Joe worked with us to fully renovate a condo in the historic Babs building on the Hip Strip in Missoula. We live in Washington so we worked closely by phone, text and email to stay in touch. The entire process was enjoyable in no small part due to Joe being an excellent communicator. He always replied to our messages quickly and was very patient with me when I would revisit decisions. We are very pleased with the craftsmanship throughout the condo. Joe was instrumental in providing us terrific referrals to local business resources as we worked though the list of things a homeowner needs to make decision on such as fixtures, lighting etc. > > We truly could not have had a more positive experience with a contractor. We may purchase a larger home in Missoula in the text two years and Joe will be the first person we call when we decide to build or renovate. **★★★★★ — cdharris1, June 2015** > Joe and his team did have done an excellent job for us. They have done everything from build a deck to remodel our home. They have always been timely, cost effective, communicative, and helpful when issues arise. I would without a doubt recommend Confluence Construction. **★★★★★ — c\_t\_caldwell, June 2015** > My wife and I can't say enough good things about our experience with Joe Jensen from Confluence Construction. He worked diligently to come in on budget, on time, and was a really intelligent (smart and curious) and very laid-back person to interact with (very therapeutic helping us through the stress of building a home). A person like that seems to attract good subs, which is where the rubber meets the road. Everyone I spoke with had good things to say about their interactions with him, from suppliers to installers. > > On the other hand, he wasn't soft. He didn't settle for bad work from his subs, and appropriately took the flack from an inappropriate stucco guy, and proactively reached out to neighbors on another occasion when there was a question about landscaping disruption. > > He has since also worked on another neighbor's house, and was invited back for a much larger followup renovation. I won't hesitate to use him again on our next project. (He has since helped us out with consultative information on smaller projects without charge). All-around outstanding contractor and solid citizen. > > Summary - Highest recommendation without hesitation: > Value: \*\*\*\*\* > Timeliness: \*\*\*\*\* > Experience: \*\*\*\*\* **★★★★★ — 501house, June 2015** > Confluence Construction was excellent from start to finish.. We are very happy with the way our custom garage and dance studio project turned out, thanks to Confluence's attention to quality, detail, and communication. Confluence was great at working with us on all details of customizing our project and problem-solving. It was a joy to work with them! Follow-up after completion of the project from Confluence has also been outstanding. We are so happy we chose them! **★★★★★ — Hank Green, June 2015** > I've heard so many nightmare stories about contractors. We went with Joe because we knew people who had worked with him and had him come under-budget and under-time (pretty much unheard of.) > > Our experience in a VERY SIGNIFICANT home remodel was that Joe came through and knew exactly what he was doing. Not only did he tell us from the very beginning exactly what we were getting into so there were no huge unpleasant surprises, he was a steady and helpful and calming influence during what can be a very stressful time. **★★★★★ — lboman, June 2015** > Confluence Construction took time at the beginning of our partnership to understand what mattered most to us in the construction of the home we intend to live in the rest of our lives. Knowing what our priorities were enabled Joe to make suggestions during the construction process that helped make our home more comfortable than expected. > > The final result was a home that facilitated our connection with the natural world. A home that is warm in the winter and cool in the summer with little use of energy. A home in which we enjoy both resting and entertaining. Of the six homes we've owned in our adult lives, our home built my Confluence Construction is the most comfortable and enjoyable. **★★★★★ — HU-867145, June 2015** > Confluence Construction does excellent work, does it on time, and does it on budget. We've hired Joe and his crew for several projects, including a complete kitchen remodel. Joe is very easy to work with. **★★★★★ — sgaynor17, June 2015** > Confluence Construction was phenomenal to work with on our house renovation project. The craftsmanship was exemplary, the crew was friendly and helpful, and there were no surprises with any costs -- even when some small problems popped up. We loved working with Confluence. They felt like partners on a project that we get to enjoy everyday. I can't recommend them enough! ## Selected projects - [Fourth Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fourth-street-pj-vj~906767) - Location: Missoula, MT - Photos: 23 - [Missoula Babs Condo Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/missoula-babs-condo-renovation-pj-vj~1003930) - Location: Missoula, MT - Photos: 9 - [Missoula University District Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/missoula-university-district-remodel-pj-vj~1003933) - Location: Missoula, MT - Photos: 8 - [Missoula Wilma Unit \#2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/missoula-wilma-unit-2-pj-vj~906762) - Location: Missoula, MT - Photos: 12 - [Missoula Wilma Unit \#1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/missoula-wilma-unit-1-pj-vj~1003936) - Location: Missoula, MT - Photos: 18 [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/confluence-construction-pfvwus-pf~1225725335) ## Ideabooks - [jconfluence's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54457212/list/jconfluence-s-ideas) — 5 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jconfluence) ## Community Q&A **Q: what is the name of the blue cabinet color?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love it!
