This review is long overdue but Shades West did a phenomenal job at upgrading our condo! Danny and…read morehis team went above and beyond assisting us with picking out the perfect shades for our living room and bedroom. They even offered to help us take down our old and rusty screens. The living shades have the perfect visibility for our view to still come through, while making a huge difference in temperature from that afternoon Hawai'i heat. The bedroom shades are black out, just the way we like it and keep the room much cooler throughout the day. The remote-controlled shades have been a life changer and worth the upgrade, if you're still thinking about it -- don't hesitate and you won't regret it!

After receiving a few estimates based on sending photos via email, I found Coreen at Island Awning. Something about her personal and quick response, led me to load the chairs up to drop them off. And although it was a bit of a challenge to find them and park, the friendliness, professionalism, and personalized/quick service was worth it! Coreen and husband AJ are a great team. The shop is in a bright pink building on Palama St. And although it may be a bit challenging to drop off/pick up your item, AJ is quick to meet you, offload your furniture, and guide you out of the short driveway. The result was outstanding, and price? Very nice!

I am writing to address the issues I have experienced with Ohana Shading Systems, including…read moreineffective customer service, poor workmanship, and safety hazards resulting from their installation. I left a voicemail on their business line, and a person named Jonathan called back, stating that they will not perform significant repairs, citing safety hazards for my children and the poor quality of the job. There are construction errors on two of the main systems, with gaps between both the back and main entrance new systems, causing heavy flooding and fall hazards due to mildew buildup. More importantly, I have images and videos showing the load-bearing beam rotting from water being trapped between the existing roof and the new shading system. Additionally, the installation was poorly executed and of low quality. We waited six months for the installation, with materials stored in our yard the entire time. The company that delivered the materials picked coconuts and left their mess for me to clean up. To make matters worse, the third-party installers were unprofessional, cussing at each other during their shift, smoking marijuana on the property, and cameras caught them entering our home while no one was present. The installers also left extra materials in our yard after completing the job. Although we have a warranty for their work until 2030, the company is now refusing to fix the issues. These guy's need to be exposed. If anyone has a similar issue with this horrific company please reach out to kipperz808@yahoo.com. As you can see in all of Jonathans replies to other reviews he tries to justify his pilau companies flaws. So sad how he goes around telling lies. When its clear in the pictures that they do horrible work. Action line will be contacted next. Good luck Jonathan on your future endeavors. Lol

He just took them all out, got them repaired and reinstalled them no questions asked. Super Aloha.And this is months after we've been living in the house. Would I recommend....absolutely! Maybe Mana can also throw in a round of golf at OCC as well if you purchase now. Update update, nearly a year later Kawika was very thorough and wanted to ensure our sliding doors were working. He was very tedious and ensured they were installed to the best of his ability. He also noticed walking by some windows that there were some weep holes missing and he offered to fix that too!

We are now having to resort to legal action. We prepaid the $17K last Sept. 2025 for 3 sliding glass doors and a window. On Sept. 5, Mana told us installation would happen in November. November came and went. Since then we have repeatedly emailed, called and texted both Mana and Paul. We got some response initially, and a promise for delivery in Spring 2026. Spring came and went. We have since been completely ghosted as we have tried to contact them, sometimes daily, asking for an installation date or for a refund. In late July, we sent a letter from a lawyer saying that if we did not receive the materials we have paid for, or a refund within 3 weeks, we would pursue legal action. Unfortunately, this is now what we are forced to do. This company installed windows for us a few years ago and our experience was good. I provided a 5-star rating in 2023. We maintain some hope that Paul and Mana will do the minimally correct thing and deliver the materials we have paid for, or refund our money.
