What Our Clients Say

  • I currently serve as the Director of Indian Affairs for the State of Utah and as a Tribal Court Judge for the Confederate Tribes of the Goshute Reservation. Through my employment, I have the privilege of meeting people who make an effort to provide services and opportunities for Native Communities. Ben Shorty is one of these individuals. Ben Shorty started his business, 'Shorty Construction, Inc.,' after learning from his father, Jay Ence. Mr. Ence has been in the home building and developing business in Utah and Nevada for many years. While apprenticing from his father, Ben's skills developed, and he was soon running his own construction company.

  • Your construction company just finished a patio concrete project and a water feature at our SR Villa. Both were done in an excellent manner, and we could not be happier with the result.
