Penncraft Contracting is a Groton-based home-improvement contractor that says it has provided remodeling and construction work since 1986 and is owned and operated by W. Scott Penney. Its listed work includes additions, new homes, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, decks, porches, framing, siding, and related residential and commercial projects. People who hired Penncraft describe detailed additions, basement finishing, decks, garages, porches, kitchens, and whole-home renovations. The written history is older rather than recent: 11 reviews date from 2019 through 2024, with the 2023 and 2024 accounts praising communication, planning, craftsmanship, problem-solving, and budget awareness. Houzz reports 5.0 from 10 reviews, while Google reports 3.7 from 3 ratings. Before booking, confirm the current license status, project schedule, scope, and which work will be performed by Penncraft or subcontractors. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license #207973 as verified active when checked and shows four projects, but its profile has no customer reviews; Houzz currently labels its profile suspended. Penncraft appears suited to homeowners seeking a broad remodeling or addition contractor with a long, strongly positive older review history. Ask for a current written proposal, references for comparable work, and up-to-date licensing and insurance details.
We secured three quotes for a major home project (700sf addition with a total kitchen/ dining room remodel). Immediately, Scott Penney outshone the competitors by providing realistic pricing and asking insightful questions about our plans and project execution that no one else thought to mention. Once hired, Scott and his family team proved to be diligent, communicative, hardworking, skilled, and completely trustworthy. When any challenges arose (as they do), they were forthright in their consultations with us, always providing an array of potential solutions. We chose to remain living in our home while the addition and renovations were underway and the Penneys made extraordinary efforts to ensure that my family was as comfortable as possible. Our project was completed in late January 2024. Scott and his sons worked extra hard to finish kitchen cabinet and appliance installations so that we could cook a real holiday meal in December. Throughout the process, all of the guys’ kindness and well developed senses of humor made them a complete pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend these folks highly enough.
