Greg and his team were excellent from start to finish. Reliable, punctual and hardworking. The work we have had done has been completed to a very high standard and was a very reasonable price. Greg came back a few weeks after completion to check for any issues and fixed them almost straight away. Nothing was too much trouble even when we changed our mind on things. We would highly recommend Penco builders.

Greg was very knowledgeable & provided solutions in answering my wife's and my concerns. We agreed the price to meet our scope and paid a small % deposit to reserve the job. We were very confident we had chosen the right person. The job was done in approx 4 weeks. His multi-disciplined team were friendly and polite, they worked hard and cleaned up before leaving each day. Greg has been back for a couple of extra jobs which we agreed to and to correct a small snag. We are extremely happy with the results.
