Four generations of masonry, restoration, and waterproofing across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York City, and South Florida via our Southern Division.

By Paul Pennacchi·Fourth-Generation Owner, A. Pennacchi & Sons

Residential work is the foundation of A. Pennacchi & Sons. Since 1947 we have repointed, rebuilt, and waterproofed private homes across every county in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, from 1920s Trenton Victorians to Princeton estate homes, Bucks County stone farmhouses, and Montclair brownstones. Every project is Paul-led and overseen by the Pennacchi family, every mortar we install is matched to the original assembly, and every estimate is a fixed-price written proposal.

What Residential Work Do You Take On?

Our residential volume runs heaviest in chimney rebuilds, brick and stone repointing, foundation waterproofing, stucco restoration, and historic masonry repair. We handle projects from single-step repairs to full-facade restoration on 200-year-old stone homes. The same craftsmen who work on Princeton University buildings work on private residences.

  • Chimney rebuilding, crown repair, flue relining
  • Brick and stone repointing with color-matched lime mortar
  • Basement waterproofing. Interior French drains and exterior membranes
  • Stucco patching and full re-stucco over masonry
  • Historic estate facade restoration
  • Landmark-compliant repairs in designated districts

Do You Work With Historic Homeowners?

Regularly. Many of our residential projects are in Princeton, Trenton, Doylestown, Montclair, and similar historic districts. We coordinate with local landmark commissions, submit mortar samples for approval, and document the scope at a level that supports state and federal historic-rehabilitation tax credit filings.

Do You Take On Smaller Residential Jobs?
Yes. While we service cathedrals and hospitals, our foundation is built on local homeowner work. Repointing a front step, fixing a stucco crack, rebuilding a brick retaining wall. No craft is too small.
Who Does The Work On My Property?
Every A. Pennacchi & Sons project is Paul-led and overseen by the Pennacchi family. The core masonry work is performed by craftsmen trained under four generations of Pennacchi standards. For specialized phases such as some concrete work we may bring in vetted partners, but the project is always under Pennacchi supervision and stands behind the Pennacchi name.
How Quickly Can You Schedule A Residential Project?
Onsite evaluations are scheduled within 5 to 7 business days. Emergency structural work within 10 business days. Standard residential projects typically schedule 4 to 10 weeks out depending on season.
Do You Carry Insurance?
Yes. Full commercial general liability and workers compensation. Proof available on request before we start any job.
