We were going to have him paint them, but he suggested we get new ones, as they were on sale at Menards at the time, and would be less expensive then to paint. They are beautiful now. Next, he painted our pole barn metal roof. He helped us pick out the right type of paint, got it for us and stuck to the price he quoted, even though he did a lot of prep work that I don't think was figured in the quote. Also put a window in the door and painted it and refurbished the door handle. Then as a little side job, he fixed some siding on the house and also an exhaust fan in our bathroom. But the best thing was he showed up when he said he would and kept us informed every step of the way. Always calling us to keep in touch when he was on his way, or making sure he was coming the next day and what time. We really appreciated that. On top of that, he was just a very friendly nice guy. Always saying, if you need anything, or anything I can do, "just give me a call." I would recommend him for any kind of handyman project. I know I will definitely use him again.

Chad did an amazing job restoring the look of our cedar porch which was weathered an ugly gray…read morearound 18 years after it was built and probably at least 10 years after the original water-seal had worn off. His process included powerwashing ... wirebrushing ... bleaching the darkest portions to get the wood to look uniform ... and then water sealing/staining with an oil-based product he advised works better than the brand people typically use. His work was meticulous throughout the process. It's a screen porch and there was no damage involving the screens. We made a great decision hiring Chad to do this project.

Chad is amazing! First and foremost, he responded right away when I inquired about the service. I…read moresent him pictures of the work in needed done. He came out and gave a quote. He did a great job and even gave suggestions for other things. When there was more work to be done we called Chad and he took care of it. He has a client for life with us! I have had experiences with other handymen and it left me not wanting to trust them again. Chad was genuinely a good guy who is good at what he does. I wish I would have taken pictures of the work he did. I sold the home and I am sure his work was important to the sell.

I had recently requested an estimate for a new staircase. I was set up for an appointment then was…read moreasked by e-mail how much my budget was. I think this was very bold of her to assume how much I could afford. Here is the e-mail exchange. Lana, We are not going to be a good fit for your project. We are a high-end remodeling/handyman company. Our pricing would be expensive for this size of project. I apologize for the error on my part. Thank you for your inquiry of Pennings Handyman. Barb Here is my response: Dear Barb, I feel your e-mail was on the snobby side, and frankly I don't think elitism is a good look for your company. The stairs that I was referring to were for her basement and I was willing to pay $1,500.00 to $2,000.00. But apparently since that is too little for this company to even consider, I do appreciate you letting me know how this company thinks of their potential customers. Also, I have a second house that needed major work on, and I was considering your firm, but again, thank you for letting me know what your priorities ($$) are. Best wishes Lana

This company is extremely unprofessional. I contacted them about a repair and they were…read moreinterested. We had an agreed upon time (which I took time off work) and four minutes before they were suppose to arrive, I received a text message they would be two hours late. After waiting two and a half hours, I contacted them and was told an emergency job popped up. We agreed to reschedule. They didn't arrive for the second agreed upon time and after waiting fifteen minutes I contacted them and was told there were two jobs ahead of me and they would let me know the ETA. I never heard back from them. This company is not serious about their commitments. I am very disappointed I allowed myself to be taken advantage of more than once.

His wife was very kind and so I will finalize the review once he comes to cut out some ceramic tile. I got the hourly rate, which is competitive. More Later (4/19/23), but I must admit to Dave that I'm a little nervous, because of some of the reviews - but, everyone deserves a chance, so I'll trust in my brother veteran. 04/25/2023 10:09 a.m. Late, no phone call, so I called: 'he's running late probably 10:30 10:40, before he gets there." Well a phone call would have been nice." Yep she said. Got a follow up call from his wife apologizing and updating me when he'll be here. 1030 hrs. 04/25/2023 1050 hrs well he finally made it. Nice guy, really enjoyed talking with him while he worked and he was very fair with the price. These folks are the Mom & Pop variety shop and have the ability to do the job I needed him for. I would recommend clear and concise discussions about what you need done and writing it down. Dave and his wife are trying real hard to bring good service at a reasonable fee. This group get's a 4 and I'll tell you, as I work with him more, his rating will reflect his service capabilities. BE SPECIFIC when quoting jobs with Dave and take good notes.

Did not show up on time, brought people who just sat around or had screaming fights down the street, brought a two year old and a puppy, did not have supplies or functional equipment, was late by hours, and even required a ride home by us. I never got my money back. As you can see by the photos, he left paint running down the walls. I will never use Yelp again to find anyone to work on my home. As a consumer who has used many contractors, this company leaves much to be desired. Furthermore, I requested their insurance three times and was told they have it but it was never provided.
