  Pennings and Sons

  From the very first meeting at our home to discuss the scope of the project, we were impressed with their professionalism and knowledge. Their quote was competitive, (within five percent of other proposals), and the materials Pennings used for the job were, in some cases, superior. They were patient with us as we tweaked the design multiple times. We were delighted at the creativity and inspiration their architect provided to our project. Careful attention was paid to insuring the addition looked like it was part of the original design of the home, and it shows! The architect gave us multiple options to choose from, one of which even decreased the footprint without compromising design or our priorities, and actually reduced costs. Through the process, we met all of the senior management at the company. Not only is everyone extremely competent, but also personally delightful. They are very customer focused, and are always looking to exceed expectations. Our project manager has been phenomenal. From the very beginning, he shared the daily schedule with us so we knew exactly what to expect and prepare for. Changes were also communicated, and accommodations were made to be as non-intrusive as possible in our lives during construction. We were involved in every decision, whether small or large, and we had the freedom to make adjustments along the way. If any concerns arose with sub-contractors, we only had to communicate with Pennings and any issues were handled immediately. We chose to take on some of the work ourselves to reduce the overall cost of the project, and there were no objections. In fact, our project manager often provided advice to us or lent a hand when possible. Pennings has been a delight to work with. From start to finish, it was an exceptionally positive experience and we are thrilled with the outcome.

  VONDRAN CONSTRUCTION

  terrible, the final product looks amateur -- sloppy construction, support columns were cut down and do not line up properly with the hand rails, and the hand rail attachments were not installed properly and just look wrong...on top of that, the storm door has mistake holes bored into it from improper installation of automatic door closer, and the door itself does not operate smoothly and needs to be pulled closed...to make matters worse, Wyatt was very rude and conducted himself very unprofessionally...stay far away

  Johnny Neal Construction

  Johnny came out provided a detailed quote, explained what needed to be done. We hired him. He and his team arrived early, they did a great job. Left no mess behind what so ever. He was the third contractor that we met with and was hundreds of dollars cheaper. I would highly recommend him to anyone! We are considering him for additional contracting work.

  Pennings and Sons

  It was a nightmare. Everything looked to be going well, until they left. They charged us for all kinds of things that they never did. When I refused to pay they settled with me and forced me to sign a disclosure agreement. Biggest mistake that I made, because I had no idea how many corners they cut along the way. Now I'm having to hire other contractors to come finish the work that Pennings and Sons was under contract to provide. We gave Pennings and Sons over 300,000 dollars, our life savings to turn our home into a dream home and all they did is turn it into a home of nightmares. Beware, find someone else. I've heard sever stories of them doing this to a lot of they're customers but they only get the review info to the few happy ones. Stay away.

  The work was done almost immediately and with good attitude. Mr. Livingstone is knowledgeable and helpful. He will take the time to talk with you about the details of the work and cost before he begins working.

  Molnar Construction

  The whole project went very well. Dan came out to give us an estimate. He went over the project. He gave us the information we needed to make a good decision. We had a small existing concrete slab and did not want to tear it out. Dan said we could keep it and add the additional concrete slab. They would tie in the existing and the new slab together. His crew performed the job professionally. They asked me questions about how I wanted the cement to be done. Dan also suggested moving the air conditioner out, laying the cement, then moving the air conditioner back. Dan had an air conditioner service man, Tim, do the work. Tim did hook up the air conditioner, checked the coolant, and made sure it worked before leaving. He also did this in a timely and professional manner. The crew completed the work per the estimate. The crew, headed by Nick, came to work when they said they would. They kept me informed about the progress of the project everyday. They were on-time, professional, courteous and worked extremely hard. The crew really took pride in their work. They cleaned up the area and tried to make as little impact on the rest of the yard as possible. Dan stuck to his estimate. Dan also answered my texts on-time. He was very good at communication. There were no surprises. We love area under the deck. now. It was a pleasure doing business with them. I would highly recommend this company.

  Warren Builders, Inc.

  All  work went very well! Matt is an ambitious worker who did all of the work with the exception of HVAC and electrical. He had competent workers who also worked very hard. Matt is a man of his word and we trusted him at every step. He's very easy to get along with and keeps you informed of progress throughout the project. We communicated nearly every day by phone or text or email.
  He is skilled carpenter!  We presented him with a picture of a pergola entrance that we liked and he built it perfectly without a detailed sketch.
  I would highly recommend Matt for your construction project!

  Molnar Construction

  Dan and his crew were excellent to work with.  We had a big project and from the initial contact to get an estimate to the last paint stroke, he was attentive, easy to reach when needed, dealt with a few unexpected crises quickly and efficiently and did a great job.  We had an architect and another contractor specifically for the Endless pool, and Dan worked well with them as a team.  He has a small crew, but everyone was very pleasant, did great work, showed up every day, worked hard and cleaned up, and were easy to interact with.  We were also very impressed with the subcontactors he works with, and would be very pleased to work with them again.
  We ran into a few issues:
  The day that they removed our roof, we had a sudden rainstorm, which caused water to leak into our house, and while they were trying to shore up the water, our dogs got loose and escaped the house and yard.  Dan immediately contacted us (we were gone for the day),and had people cleaning up the water and covering the roof as well as had people driving around the neighborhood to look for our dogs.  They took care of all the extra drywall and painting for the water damage and the dogs were fine (just dirty and tired) when we found them.  We felt as though he cared not only about the job, but about us and our pets, throughout the remodel.
  We also had some difficulties when it came to the pool installation, where some measurements between what we received from the pool company and what we had on our plans ended up differently to what we expected.  Dan and Eric came up with a good plan on how to accommodate the changes and the end result is even better than we thought.  Considering that we basically redid our entire exterior and added an additional 1/4 to our house, we feel like we had a pretty easy renovation, and Dan and his crew were a big part of that.  A special shout-out to Eric Bates, our carpenter, who did a fantastic job!!
