Penn Builders

We gave Massimo Barille of Penn Decks in Kunkletown, PA a 10K deposit in August 2022, he started work in late October 2022 and the first day on the job billed me for another deposit. This is not normal. Upon completion of our deck in November 2022 (and after paying 100 percent) we noticed some major problems with the deck’s construction -some very concerning for safety (after inspection passed.) Simply put, poor construction-spindles popping out, railing sliding down, balusters on crooked, boards not level. Massimo came back once to fix the lighting and said he’d be back to fix the spindles. However, he has not returned any phone calls, emails, or texts since April 2023. This is unacceptable after spending 30K. And it is very concerning safety-wise b/c a spindle that pops out is at the top of the railing which is 10 feet from the ground! After I left a Google review of 1 star, I noticed he is changing the name of his company. Consumers should be made aware, this guy is a fraud and a crook. We will be paying another contractor to fix these problems as a result of his poor workmanship. The cost of these repairs will total 4K. He now owes us money.

I had my house renovated by Penn Builders. I hired them in July of 2014 was told the project would take 6 to 8 weeks, it was completed April of 2015. 9 months later. Some small things were not completed and clean up of site was not finished. I tried reaching out to Massimo several times with no reply. Although the work they did was good and Massimo updated me on the project consistently, after they recieved the last payment he disappeared. I had to pay someone else to finish what they didn’t. Would not recommend

Subcontracted Penn a large deck that my company could not complete. They did an excellent job. Inspections went smoothly and my customer was very happy with the work. I will be recommending them to my customers in the future for any deck work that comes my way.

I would gladly write a review for PBI. They did a very nice job for my interior remodeling and deck replacement. The deck was an emergency replacement for unsafe conditions and they worked hard during these cold snowy days to finish the job. Massimo expedited the permits from township and inspections all completed. 10 stars and will use them for all my future needs. Very good people to have working at my home. Thanks
