Hello,

For the protection of other consumers I would like to comment about PENYAK ROOFING in SOUTH PLAINFIELD NEW JERSEY. This contractor did our roof and it was a nightmare. At first I was very pleased at the very low price I was quoted....almost half the price of other contractors. but I learned there was a reason for this.

After the job was completed the roof leaked very badly and we had very bad damage done to the house interior. I called them and they did NOT come back . The cheap price meant nothing because I had to pay another contractor twice the amount to get the job fixed.

I also learned from the building inspector that the roofing was not installed correctly and he had never seen a roof done in such an amateurish way. The men that did the roof were "picked up" that day from a street corner in Plainfield. JOE PENYAK picks up these unskilled immigrants on a daily basis because they are unskilled and work for very low wages.

BUYER BEWARE. Avoid this company no matter how cheap the price.

    Penyaks work is so substandard. I cant believe the immigration authorities dont come after him.

    All he does is hire people that "just came off the boat". He takes advantage of the immigration situation.

    I am Brazilian. I would never work for him. He does not even care who he hires,...I have a full work force of SKILLED LABORERS. What does that say about your country?

      Your Brazilian and have a full work force of skilled laborers? I hope they are in Brazil. If you are a legal citizen you should identify yourself as an AMERICAN. If your not you should take your fully skilled labor force and jump back on that banana boat.

    Happy w/Penyak in So Plainfield!
    How do you know that the men who did the roof were "picked up" that day from a street corner? As a homeowner who had our roof done by Penyak.....and a fine job with no complaints.....I observed several men both on the roof and on the ground. Those on the roof were the mechanics who possessed the skills to tear off and lay down a new roof. The other men on the ground merely appeared to be a "clean up crew" and nothing more.....they did NOT get up on the roof and perform the work that the other men had been performing. How do you know that the SUPPOSED men picked up on a street corner weren't part of the clean-up crew? Do you need years of experience to throw debris into a dumpster??? At least they want to work!!!! Your assumptions are a reflection of what kind of person you must be. It's a shame you had a negative experience with Penyak Roofing, however, being the judgemental person that you appear to be I'm glad you didn't get to experience Mr. Penyak's politeness.....YOU DON'T DESERVE IT!!!

    As for you, "anonymous" and your comment that his hires "just came off the boat"....my older family members came off the same boat as have thousands of other people & that is what has made this country the 'melting pot' that it is.  They all come here, as I'm sure your family had done since you are Brazilian therefore not of American descent, for a better life and are willing to WORK to achieve it. If you want the immigration authorities to come after him, then they need to go after all the local car washes, restaurants, and businesses that hire these people who are willing to work to make a better life for themselves.  And are you a citizen or not that you phrase the question, "what does that say about your country?"  OUR country....isn't it yours too?????

    penyak roofing is a god damn joke.  joe is an absolute incompetent manager/boss.  you have a better chance of getting in touch with the pope than getting through to one of their dizzy receptionists....  work doesn't seem to be an issue but their professionalism is utterly ubserd.

    Penyak not only did my roof but several of my neighbors as well. We're all happy with the job-well-done and with Joe's honesty.  Another neighbor requested an estimate and was told she really didn't need a roof just yet...it could wait another few years.  Anyone else would've taken advantage and done the roof anyway for the money.  Keep up the good work, Penyak Roofing, and don't listen to these "anonymous" people

      Penyak also did my roof in 2004. Also, I had no issues during Hurrican Sandy.  I never once had a problem getting in touch with any of the office assistance. I have friends that also used his services and they have all felt the same. Keep up the good work Joe !! I am in the real estate business. When a homeowner asks me who to use, I always give them your name without hesitation.

    My brother just had his roof done by Penyak and he was extremely satisfied.  They were quick and efficient.  They cleaned the area and you couldn't even tell work had been done that day.  I was planning on calling for an estimate on my house and decided to look him up and found these complaints.  I thought I would pass on this info,.

    The company is not run well.  Called to make an appointment; received phonemail; left a message; never heard from them.  Called a second time and got an anxious receptionist.  I explained that I left a message and never heard back; she offered no explanation but offered to book an appointment.  We set a date and time; no one showed up or called the day of the appointment.  I called the office 3 times that day to find out what happened and received phonemail; yep, left a message asking what happened and never received a call back.

    Your company is a bad joke. As far your reputation goes your work says it all. My neighbors say and laughed at what you did. NO ONE COULD SPEAK ENGLISH..MANY DAMAGES AND STILL FINDING SOME EVEN AFTER 6 MONTHS. TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH THIS COMPANY.

    Charles, more than satisfied
    I would highly recommend Penyak Roofing.  I just had my roof done
    in April and I am more than satisfied.  They were not the cheapest
    quote I got but it was worth the extra money for the way I was treated
    by the office staff and the installers. Today you don't know who you
    can trust, but from my experience Penyak roofing is a company you can.

    very disappointed
    Penyak Rofing has been a disaster for us. For several years we have been trying to get Mr. Penyak to repair our roof but to no avail. We have been to Small Claims Court and a judgement has been brought against Mr Penyak; he has been informed but has not reponded. We hope he has the integrity to respond appropriately, but so far has been uncooperative. I am very disappointed as I had great faith in Mr. Penyak and he came highly recommended by colleagues.

    I totally disagree with any negative comments posted about Penyak Roofing. They did our roof several years ago and it is perfectly sound and looks great! Their pricing, workmanship, cleanliness and regard for our needs were all above standard. Our roof had never been replaced all the way down to the original lathe so it was a big job and very well done.
