Paonia Ditch Company, Jim Blankenship

"Jeff came on board to provide technical assistance and oversight of a riverbank stabilization project. Even though this project was being completed with federal funding, he said, "It's simple." and with him on board, the project was in fact simple. He had a clear vision from start to finish that he helped the contractor to successfully execute in less than one month. If you want someone who will get the job done and make sure that it's done right the first time, I recommend Crane Associates without hesitation."
