About Penna

Rooted in Dana Point. Building since 1956.

Our roots

A history that starts in 1956.

Present-day focus

Concrete construction, from the ground up.

We do one thing: concrete, done right. Our crews build insulated concrete form (ICF) walls and Insuldeck concrete roof and floor systems — steel-reinforced and engineered for coastal Southern California. Salt air, storm surge, Santa Ana winds, fire season: from San Diego to Long Beach, we build homes meant to stand up to what is coming.
