Beautiful workmanship and no extra charges or changes in what we had agreed. I had to wait my turn because he's so busy, but it was worth it.

I spoke with the owner who scheduled an appointment to come to my house the next day. He did not show up did not call very unprofessional. Maybe he did not show because it was a small job. However, should not have scheduled an appointment.

Mr. Pennebaker was very accommodating with our personal schedule and very responsive to all questions and concerns. The only complaint is the delay caused by the cabinet maker, though his work turned out beautifully. All other subs were terrific - at work on time exactly as scheduled and the work was excellent. We highly recommend the heated bath floor - love it! The tile work is exceptional and we also are very pleased with the granite and marble countertops. Mr. Pennebaker really worked to keep the project moving smoothly.
Description of Work: Kitchen remodel included replacing some cabinets, refacing others - beautiful cherry with bottom drawer cabinets which provide more usable space, granite and glass tile backsplash, Flooring and lights were already done. Master bath has a new walk-in shower with beautiful tile work, heated tile flooring, great sink and faucet with marble counter. Kept the light fixtures and base cabinet. Entry hall has new tile as does the hall bath.

The project went well overall. The quality of the work is good and I'm happy with result. The project took much longer than anticipated; instead of three weeks it took two months. This was my first time hiring a contractor. In the future, I will make sure I insist in a re detailed review of the entire project from the beginning to avoid surprises.
Description of Work: Remodel small master bathroom. enlarge shower,replace fixtures, tile floor and shower, installed new lights.

He did excellent work. He put off the job a tiny bit later than we wanted but it wasn't really his fault.
Description of Work: We used Pennebaker Construction to put new showers in the bathrooms and prepare two bedrooms that were badly cracked for painting and various other things around the house. We are going to have him come back next month to install a complete new bathroom.

Dave was very knowledgeable and helpful in the planning of the job, selection of material sources, etc. Sometimes communication from him lagged. The work done by Dave and his tile subcontractor was very good. All in all, we are quite happy with the results.
Description of Work: Tear up existing tile in kitchen, entry way and laundry room. Lay new tile. Install new front door. Install new screen (security) door.

Everything went smooth. During demolition dry rot was found. Dave and his crew were able to get all necessary parts to complete installation promptly. There was sheet rock and stucco work needed. Everything was accomplished quickly and professionally. I would give Pennebacker B+ or A-. During installation one of the corners of the screen door was bent. This caused a lot of friction when operating the screen door. Someone familiar with screen door installation should have quickly found and resolved the problem. I fixed the problem with a pair of pliers.
Description of Work: Replace patio glass sliding door

David and his crew worked here the last two weeks of Sept to 1st week of December 2009 redoing someone else's mistakes and creating our sparkling and beautiful bathroom, making sure we had a back porch that is in keeping with our house and made a set of stairs that enhance our yard and connect our house to the yard that is two stories below. The Music Studio- the 16x16 building he created from the kit we bought has brought us great pleasure-it's amazing. They never left us wondering where they were, they did everything that they said they would do and more. I would never hire anyone else if I had anything that needed remodeling or adding on to. We are still using the deck he put in 13 years ago (we mistakenly bought a sliding door that we found out could only be installed from the outside). Two floors up-we had to put up a deck in order to fix the hole in the wall we had lived with all winter. We found Dave and the rest is history! Last week we had trouble with the plumbing under the sink that his plumber had installed during the remodel in 2009. We called Pennebaker and he not only gave me the name and number of the plumber who had done the installation, he called him personally and had the plumber call me. The plumber had his foreman stop on his way home and fix the leak. He arrived at 7 and was finished by 8:30. No wonder I hold David Pennebaker in such high regard! He stands by his work 100%! David Pennebaker not only does superior remodeling; he stands by work previously done and does his best to make sure everything is made right is something should go wrong!
Description of Work: He re-did previous berm done that was failing;took it out; returned hillside and put in 3 berms that work. strung a great set of stairs to back yard,(without plans - just made them) finished and redid badly done back porch, found materials at great prices (good quality) Constructed our 16x16 shed, insulated an nicely finished the inside, installed skylights, wired it, painted it and built work counters around 3 sides. He then remodeled our bathroom and it is stunning! Oh, and then he and his crew ripped out and replaced the fence along one side of our yard. He did an amazing amount of work in and impressively short time. I'd recommend him for any type of job - remodeling, new construction (addition), deck or landscape building (our 3 berms are gorgeous!) The redwood is beautiful and is weathering nicely.

They said what it was going to be and it was exactly that. There were no surprises. They were very clean. Their price was very reasonable. I would use them in the future.

Every job has been handled professionally and executed in a timely manner. We have been very satisfied with the work and always feel like we are getting a good deal. We plan to continue using Pennebaker Construction on our home and rental remodels and repairs. We recommend Pennebaker Construction on a regular basis to our friends and family.
Description of Work: We have used Pennebaker Construction on several occasions for my home and two rental properties. Most noteably, in 2009, renters moved out of a rental house and left the house generally distroyed. The carpets had to be removed, wood floors refurbished, coated with a sealer, and recarpeted. Even the floor vents and ducts had to be replaced. Additionally, David and his crew remodeled the kitchen and two bathrooms, painted the interior, and replaced the garage door. More recently, in 2011, renters for 19 years moved out of the other rental. Again, we called Pennebaker Construction. A woodburning stove had been removed so they had to re-roof a section of the roof, and install a heating system. They also remodeled the master bathroom, painted the entire interior, replaced the garage door, replaced the fence and poured a concrete parking slab. We have also used David and his crew at our house to repair a two story deck and stairs, and to paint the exterior of the house.

He does great work. His prices are reasonable in regards to the type of work that we had done. My husband thinks he's grumpy, but I like him. He is concerned about his work and that is what is important. He comes in, gets the job done, and goes home. The work that he does is what is important to me. He made a really nice set of stairs outside. He is not outrageously expensive. If we have anything that needs to be done, like a kitchen, he is the first guy I call.
Description of Work: We have used Pennebaker Construction to build a deck for us when we first moved in. He also insulated and roofed a 16x16 foot shed, put in stairs in our back yard, finished our back porch, and remodeled our bathroom.
