Four Generations of New Jersey Masonry.
Anthony and John Pennacchi founded the firm in Trenton in 1947. Four generations later, their great-grandson leads it from the same shop.
Four Generations of Building Excellence.
Founded in 1947 in the industrial city of Trenton by Anthony G. Pennacchi Sr. and his father Gaetano Pennacchi, A. Pennacchi & Sons began restoring commercial, religious, and residential buildings using their European-trade craftsmanship. What started as a small family masonry shop now spans the entire tri-state area, with the fourth generation at the helm.
We continually improve the company by implementing modern restoration technologies to ensure your investment stands the test of time. Sons Anthony and Paul Sr., now joined by Paul Jr., feel privileged to run the family business today. A. Pennacchi & Sons would like the opportunity to earn your business and your trust.
