That in itself is enough reason to recommend Universal. But in a society where it's getting harder and harder to find aloha, these people have it. I got respect and empathy, not just a railing. I know they're very busy and they have every excuse to be aloof, but I really appreciate their attitude. Oh, and I love my new railing!

This company is so awesome! One of the best ones that I have worked with to date here in Hawaii…read more They hauled away our old gates, & had such attention to detail, that they even installed a bumper on the curb in our upper trash area so that the gate didn't hit the curb when it's opened by the sanitation people to pull out the dumpsters for emptying (where it could chip/damage the gate). Now that's above & beyond! Love it! This doesn't happen very often these days, but love seeing companies go above & beyond in respecting & appreciating their customers. Mahalo!

I was in need of a mobile welder to fix our steel, square-tubed gate. We have a little French…read moreBulldog who could escape if we didn't get it fixed quick. I went on to Nextdoor to see if there were any recommendations, and I found a positive one for Incom. Located near Costco (I'm in Keahou), I figured I'd give them a call. They answered their phone (most other welding calls went directly to voicemail), they were polite, professional, and most of all - "Responsive to my request." Now, they are primarily a structural welding company (Ibeams, and larger stuff) however, they scheduled a next day stop at my residence and not only fixed my broken steel latch but, improved the design to prevent the latch from bending again, Price was very reasonable and I was able to pay by credit card. When I redesign the gate, I'll be sure to call on Incom.

Motorized Gate - I found Hawaii Weld and contacted Cody about motorizing our existing double gate…read more(16'). First off, Cody is responsive and returns calls quickly. Even better, he provides updates on the entire progress (island life requires shipping which can take time). He is very professional and experienced. Cody suggested the Liftmaster 412, solar powered gate operating system. This allowed me to avoid cutting concrete, running electrical lines, and removing landscape. It also provides solar power (Keahou is really sunny) and enough battery life to outlast any power failures. My gates are steel with bamboo and weigh quite a bit but, not even half the rated weight for the Liftmaster system. Cody welded on the brackets, positioned the solar, and used my existing paint to match up the weld points. Take a look at the video - this system is quiet! No wheels, no chains! Cody specializes in welding and he also knows gates. Looking for a reliable welder with gate experience, call Hawaii Weld! Aloha

I contracted Hawaii Weld to install 2 automatic gates and fence for street side of property. it has…read morebeen 2 months since job was done. Both gates have failed due to sagging and fence installation was sloppy. Gates: front main gate was installed a little low but seemed ok. Cody told me that epoxy was taking time to set due to humidity. However, gate sagged more before he left and he ended up digging up front yard to "make gate open". He blamed problem on me since I decided gate should open inward instead of outward, however, installation was done after decision was made for inward change. I was so furious that I really couldn't talk to him as I didn't want to go off! Second gate opened and worked fine but after 2 weeks it also sagged and started hitting driveway causing obstruction. Both gates have failed and are inoperable!! Cody told me that fencing was not his specialty so he really should not have charged me a few thousand dollars for a bad installation. Hog wire was hung upside down and most fence posts are either lose or cracked due to cement either not being mixed or sub par product used. I feel completely ripped off and should NOT have paid the final payment as gates must be re-hung and fence will need to be re-done as well.

Jeremy and Nikki were absolutely wonderful to work with. The project wasn't an easy task. Our…read morehouses is on a hill plus the gate has to open into the property which also was uphill and angled. Jeremy and nicki came out and took measurements and listened to what we wanted. They came back to fit the gate and make any adjustments that were needed. Jeremy also needed to fabricate custom hinges for this gate to not only swing open but at the same time the gate needed to swing up to follow the contour of our driveway. The finished product looks wonderful and met all of our expectations. It's only been 2 days and we have had several compliments already. Both Jeremy and Nikki's communication and follow through were great. They're customer service was above and beyond what was expected. We would highly recommend Jeremy and nicki.

I'm in a bind and I need new lug studs on my Toyota Truck, or I can't go anywhere. He seemed to know what he was talking about, so I gave him a hundred dollars for parts, and he hasn't texted or called me back since. That was 24 hours ago. His girlfriend in the passenger seat looked like she was abused or a junkie, and sat hugging her knees and staring straight ahead. I was in a bind and I was trusting and careless. Don't make the same mistake. This man is a criminal.
