Major Renovation Multiple Room Service
We’ve worked with Chris and his team multiple times now, and they never cease to amaze us. Whether it was reworking our front door or installing beams to hide wiring for our ceiling fans, Chris always had a 'great idea' for every hurdle we hit. It is rare to find a renovator who communicates this well and stays so organized. They are polite, punctual, and always clean up after themselves. We've told all our neighbors about them!

Bathroom Remodel
If I could , I would give Penar Improvements TEN stars. Honestly, I have never dealt with a more talented, credentialed, creative, honest and fair contractor in my many years of navigating through home construction projects. My past experiences with home improvement projects lead me to believe really good contractors are hard to find but then I found Penar Improvements. Chris came and rescued my sanity when I had water damage throughout my house that necessitated gutting my bathroom, laundry area and all flooring plus a few other unknown and unforeseen problems. Throughout the whole project whenever Chris found problems, he knew how to fix all of them - electric, plumbing, structural issues -and he did them all with great craftsmanship and explained each one to me. I am proud to HIGHLY recommend Chris and Penar Improvements to anyone in need of improvements or repairs.

Major Renovation Multiple Room Service
I have worked with Chris and his son Drake on several projects including bathroom renovations, kitchen renovations, new flooring throughout, and plumbing work. Chris is extremely knowledgeable as a general contractor and manages the entire project from start to finish, which eliminates the need to coordinate multiple contractors. His experience is evident in every project, and he consistently brings a fresh perspective along with a very creative approach to the work he does.

Kitchen Remodel
Chris Penar did an amazing job on my kitchen remodel. He exceeded my expectations! He had to gut my entire kitchen in the condo and install new cabinets. Move some appliances around, add granite countertop & backsplash and also put a new flooring in my kitchen hall and laundry laundry room. I’ve also had him hang cabinets in my laundry room and he’s always does things with perfection. CHRIS is really amazing with his craft very dependable and does an amazing job and I will continue to use him for my home improvements. Kristi Farmer

The quality of work that was performed was so far above what I expected! The extra detail touches that were added made my home Beautiful. The cord around for example, instead of a blunt cut they gave it a finished angle trim. A company that does that, well you should see the rest of his quality work! I promise you will be amazed and as excited about decision to go and trust your home with Penar! Thank you, I appreciate everything you did for my Home!

Excellent service!! Chris made contact with my wife, set up a time to complete the repairs and met with my wife. He had to replace the dishwasher, so they went to a local retailer to buy a new one, which he installed quickly and efficiently. He easily corrected the problems with our ceiling fan and dishwasher, and adjusted a window balancer in the master bedroom. Terrific value and experience--will recommend and definitely use again!!

Exceptionally well. We were concerned that sanding the textured paint off the walls would create a huge dust mess to clean up however the sander was attached to a large vacuum and the dust issue was 95% mitigated and easily wiped away. Physical install of the pocket door, framing went well and door looks and works perfectly giving privacy to 2nd and 3rd bedrooms and 2nd bath without the original swing door intrusion. Highly recommend Penar Improvements, Also be prepared to discuss the project and requirements with Mr. Penar, he knows his business and will gladly share constructive suggestions on how to complete the job with the best final result.

Chris arrived on time, and the work was completed expertly and efficiently. Everything was left tidy. What he charged was more than fair and under quote. I was very nervous about how the cabinet would be re-hung and requested more screws be added to that cabinet and the other wall cabinets as well. They probably weren't necessary, but Chris understood that I had trust issues with how the cabinets were originally hung, and he put in those screws just so I'd feel better (and I do). I am now confident the cabinets will not be jumping off the wall in the future. While Chris was here, I asked him about future projects I had in mind. He gave me some good advice and I know that when I am ready to start those projects, Chris will be the person I call.

Chris is very professional. Was easy to contact and returned my call that very evening. He explained he doesn't answer calls while he is working. That was a plus to me! We set up a day/time and he came out 3 days later. Chris removed a chandelier and installed a ceiling fan. He also installed a new kitchen faucet. While he was here he measured and looked at other projects I want to do. He gave me some good tips and advice on organizing our closet and laundry room. His ideas were much better than mine. It showed he cares about helping us make our home and space better. Chris also took some trash, boxes and the old chandelier to the dump for me. We are planning on having Chris come out for a few more projects within the next couple weeks. He did a great job and we were pleased.

Chris was tremendous. He installed a large 9pc Wine Center that included heavey pre-assembled cabinets that needed to be installed against a wall and some hung on the wall. Needless to say he did an awesome job. He was knowlegable, meticulous and efficient. I was even surprised when he wnet to install a piece of molding he wiped it clean first!! Came with all his tools and was able to handle all aspects of the job. He insured the cabinetry was level and even. He did trim work to add a nice look to the cabinets as well. When he saw something he didn't like "ok" wasn't good enough for him. I was truly impressed by his love for his work. There is no question that when I need a handyman/carpenter in the future he will be my first call.

I called Chris that morning, he picked up the call and was able to pickup and complete the job in less than 3-hours. Chris was friendly, and professional. I would hire him again for other handyman jobs.

Finished product looks like original builder design. Special doors and hardware, trim, crown molding, paint, minor electrical. Chris is exceptionally talented carpenter and does small handyman work also. Job was done on-time as forecast. A real showpiece!
