Masonry Contractor in Ewing Township, NJ

A Mercer County Masonry Family

A cracked step, a bowing wall, or a chimney losing mortar one winter at a time is often what brings an Ewing homeowner or building owner to a masonry contractor. A. Pennacchi & Sons looks at the actual damage before recommending anything, and quotes the repair the building needs.

The company was founded in Trenton in 1947, just over the line from Ewing, and the fourth generation runs it today from our shop in Hamilton. Call (609) 394-7354.

Restoration And Specialty Work

What Sets The Price

The extent of the damage, the material and how much of the structure is involved. Repointing a section of wall is a much smaller job than rebuilding it, and a bowing wall sometimes turns out to be a foundation problem as well. You get a written proposal with the scope and one total after we have seen it.

Repoint, Repair Or Rebuild

Repointing replaces failed mortar and leaves sound brick in place. Brick or stone repair replaces damaged units in a wall that is otherwise sound. A rebuild takes a section down and lays it again, which is what a bowing or badly cracked wall can need. A. Pennacchi & Sons recommends the smallest of those that will hold, and the inspection is how we know which one that is.

What A Customer Said

We needed a front porch and patio repaired. They did a great job and are very responsive to follow up. Attention to detail is certainly something I was impressed with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is My Masonry Job Too Small For You?
No. A. Pennacchi & Sons takes on single loose steps and small repointing jobs as well as full rebuilds.
Do You Work On Older Or Historic Homes In Ewing?
Yes. Older brick and stone need matched mortar. A modern hard mix can be stronger than the original masonry and crack it. A. Pennacchi & Sons is Jahn Applicator certified, a certification for restoring older brick and stone.
Do You Handle Residential And Commercial Masonry?
Yes. A. Pennacchi & Sons works on homes, commercial buildings and institutional buildings across Mercer County.
What Is Repointing?
Repointing means cutting out failed mortar from the joints and replacing it with new mortar, leaving sound brick or stone in place. It is often the right repair when the joints are eroded but the masonry itself is solid.

“I had a roofer come out for a small leak in my attic. He fixed it and while up on the roof took pictures of my chimney. Told me I had a big problem. Lot of mortar missing. I called A. Pennacchi & Sons. Paul came out the next day. He told me what needed to be done and gave me a price. I asked him if I should add a few bricks to the top. He said "why do you want to spend more money?" What contractor says that? The men came out a few days later. On time, polite, got right to work, and cleaned up like they were never there. Paul had given me a choice of colors. His price was the best one. My chimney now looks absolutely beautiful. I would give them 10 stars.”

“Great experience with Paul and the Pennacchi team. We contracted this firm to waterproof our basement and replace our basement windows. Nick was excellent at coordinating the effort, including preparation, window replacement, waterproofing, clean up, and follow up to inquire about and resolve a few questions. Happy to recommend Pennacchi and Sons.”

“Pennacchi sealed our basement 2 years ago. After a recent heavy rain we noticed seepage and asked Pennacchi to look at it. They sent Nick, who did an excellent job diagnosing the problem, finding the most likely seepage site, and then repairing it. Nick came by the next day, inspected the repair, and also improved sealing of 2 utility pipe entries. The rapid response, competency, diligence, and follow-up were excellent.”

“We are so impressed with Pennacchi & Sons. Multiple people recommended this company as the best in the region. For a company with a huge legacy, working throughout the county, there was no hesitation to see what our small job looked like and whether they could help. The crew was friendly, timely, and efficient. Ray walked us through the process, gave us a play-by-play for the best understanding of the work, and answered tons of questions. The end result was better than the original.”

“Pennacchi has an exceptional reputation and we now have firsthand experience of their stellar work. The precision craftsmanship and professionalism are impressive. We had our chimneys repointed, brickwork restored, and a basement wall resealed. It all blends seamlessly and looks gorgeous. Ask for Sam as your foreman if you can, he was amazing. The entire crew was fantastic. Kudos to Paul and the leadership for building a great team. Impeccable service and beautiful finished product.”

“Water was getting into my house because of the old brick exterior. It needed to be repointed and painted on the interior. Although this was a very small job, Paul and his son Paul Junior were incredibly professional, listened, and addressed my concerns. I left their crew to complete the work without being home and everything was safe and secure when I got back. They kept their work areas clean and took away their trash. Paul’s price was the most competitive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“My basement was leaking really bad and had 2 different companies come out and try to fix the problem with no luck. Decided to try a third time and luckily I came across APS. They came out and did amazing work and solved all my issues. Put in a French drain, sump pump, and stuccoed the walls. They had to fix all the problems the other companies did, and it was a great experience working with them. Paul was extremely professional. Highly recommend if you need the job done right the first time.”

“We hired Pennacchi and Sons to waterproof our basement. We did not necessarily have issues, we just wanted to prevent any moisture problems in the future. We consulted with a few other people before speaking with Paul, the owner. Paul came up with an effective and cost-effective solution for us. We are very happy with the service and highly recommend Paul to everyone.”

“These guys did an amazing job for us. 20 years of trying to get my basement dry and these guys finally got it to work. We actually had another company do it 15 years ago but we always got water back. Paul and his brothers worked hard and they cleaned us up as well. Thanks for letting me tell this story guys.”

“I hired Pennacchi and Sons to do repair work on my chimney. In the 3 days they were here, they did an excellent job from start to finish. They also left my home in the same condition as it was before they came. I could not recommend this company more and would definitely hire them again if I needed future masonry work done.”
