Testimonial from: JB Realty Co.

I've been working with Joe Palen since his high school days when I hired him to do "grounds work" and light maintenance for the 900,000 square feet of commercial buildings I leased and managed.  Even then he was always on time, dependable and thorough.
 
Joe is absolutely my "go to" person when it comes to tenant improvements in commercial buildings and he has done jobs as small as lock changes to full building renovations for me.  Joe does his homework!  He is very knowledgeable about zoning and laws relating to handicapped accessibility and fire, life safety as well as all the components that go into building out 20,000 square feet school buildings that require the full "E" rating.
 
Of equal importance, Joe understands and stays within BUDGET and never misses a DEADLINE!  I recommend him without qualification.

Testimonial from: The Realty Matrix

Our project was completed on time with the tenant commented that it was the smoothest build out she had ever been involved with and the punch list was minimal and that also done on timely basis. That was our first project with Palen Contracting and have used them on projects since.

As a commercial Real Estate Broker and a Vice President with Welsh companies, I have been using Joe Palen’s services for over 10 years and I continue to use him because I know he will take care of the job at a reasonable price and my clients will be happy. Any time my clients had any problems, Joe was there to take care of them and those clients now continue to hire Joe for other needs because they know they can trust him.

Palen Contracting remodeled an existing building to move our business into. Joe did the work in the time frame we requested and we were very happy with the finished space. I would tell people that Palen contracting does exceptional work at a fair price.
