**★★★★★ — Abby F, Feb. 2017**

> Penner and Assoc designed and managed the construction for a complete remodel of a historic home. They listened to our needs, proposed innovative design solutions and we ended up with exactly the house we wanted. They were especially valuable during the construction phase. The documents they produced were extremely detailed, and their management of our contractor was aggressive but fair. I was also pleased with their responsiveness throughout the project- I wouldn't do another major project without them.

**★★★★★ — osterwood, April 2015**

> We hired Penner & Associates to design & build a garage - which turned into a integral garage and addition to our house.  They designed a garage that we can fit two cars in (end to end) and a beautiful addition to the house that is one large family room, a bathroom, and space for laundry (before this addition neither of these were located on the first floor).  The family room is a great space with lots of windows, 10 foot glass doors, and two sky lights.  Penner & Associates worked with us throughout the whole process and were very accommodating to all of requests - really trying to make it exactly how we wanted.  The team helped to oversee the general contractor to make sure everything was done as they designed and intended - which was a huge relief on our part.

**★★★★★ — grobo22, April 2015**

> We used  Roy Penner on a complete remodeling of our home 15 years ago and could not have been more pleased.  Roy is very creative and gave us wonderful ideas and plans, and the results were striking and very satisfying to us.  He is easy to work with and very knowledgeable.  We are now working with him and his colleagues on a complete makeover of a coop apartment we purchased.  Again, our experience has been outstanding.  Penner and Associates not only gave us ideas and incorporated our ideas into a great overall plan, but have been active in overseeing the progress of the work.  We give Roy and his staff the highest grades in all the services they have provided to us on both projects.

**★★★★★ — rkatzen, April 2015**

> Penner & Associates provided exactly what was initially promised and even more. When troubles occurred with our contractor they we there to help with time delay issues. I would recommend them to anyone who is considering a home improvement/addition project to their home. Bob Katzen

**★★★★★ — jhr383, April 2015**

> I can't say enough good things about Team Penner.  They did a phenomenal job for us.  I am in the design/construction industry so I have fairly high standards.  Their execution of the design and construction (administration) process was exceptional.  We hit our schedule and our budget and couldn't be more pleased with the end product.  Thank you very much to Team Penner, particularly John Barbera.  Very well done.

  - Location: Not specified

  - Description: This project re-thinks an existing closed off kitchen by removing partition walls and opening the space to the living & dining rooms.

The existing wood flooring was extended through the kitchen to the dining room to tie the spaces together into a single, flowing composition. See this project in 3D: \<A HREF="http://…

  - Description: This renovation design involved modifying a difficult existing bathroom space into an elegant master bath worthy of the existing house.

We designed his & hers vanities on opposite sides of the room, using finished concrete countertops & floati…
