We are relatively speaking, "new" to The Big Island; connecting with Taylor Built Construction was…read morestraight forward from the very beginning. Coming from a decorated military background and as a fellow business owner in the construction industry for a couple of decades we knew what we were looking for in terms of excavation work and more or less the requirements to complete the project. Treavor's initial meeting over the phone by way of good referral was clear as he was able to meet our services requested. He walked the land which we brush cut a good section of as he said he would at the time we arranged and gave me a fair quote. On the morning of "kick-off" Treavor pulled up and backed his tractor-trailer into a standard, but narrow driveway with his excavator and hammer loaded with ease. Our realtor / friend showed up to take photos for about an hour and she was amazed at how well he handled his excavator and effortlessly carved out what we planned. I was busy flying the drone every so often throughout the day in between admin stuff, resetting security cameras and running errands nearby; and each time it appeared that Treavor was further along than what we envisioned. Great work. I'm sure that some parcels are more difficult than others, but it seams clear that Taylor Built Construction would have the capacity to work around, work within, and work safely with whatever obstacles the land is yielding. Good work, or excellent work, in a reasonable time frame, and at a fair price. Taylor Built Construction provided us with quality work that is worth every penny spent and completed above the services we requested. Mahalo. Note: it took a while for us to find Taylor Built Construction, but was worth it.

After a few frustrating months of asking & calling every contractor I could find around the island, it was such a relief when Robert from RAD Builders responded within a day and then offered to call me to talk about the work I needed done. Not long after, he visited the house to get check out the bathroom/shower that we needed fixed and to provide me with the quote. Throughout the process all the way to when the work was done, Robert kept me well informed and was always prompt and thorough when answering all of my questions and concerns. Robert worked with us based on our set budget and the overall quality of services we received exceeded our expectations. We are grateful that we finally found an honest and reliable team that will help us keep our family home strong & taken care of as my Dad would have wanted. We've already requested for another quote to get more work done on the house so definitely looking forward to working with Robert again. So if you're looking someone do some fixes/remodeling for your home, I recommend you call RAD Builders. Thank you!

The TEAM did such a professional job, cleaned up after themselves and left me with a nice pile of woodchips in my yard - as requested. Equipment tracks were at a minimal. I smile every time I go home seeing a clean fence line with no trees leaning over the powerlines. It was well worth it! I highly recommend their services. MAHALO BACKYARD MONKEYS for your Good Work!!
