I hired Hawaii Water Damage Restoration to help me with water damage that happened to my apartment…read moreunit due to another unit's water main leaking. Getting a quote was easy and Marcos made scheduling the initial consultation and assessment super easy. He came to my apartment on-time and went through everything in detail. He carefully inspected all of the damage and walked me through what his thoughts were and assured me that he will document everything thoroughly so that the insurance companies will have more than enough information to accurately assess my costs. Based on the initial consultation, I thought this would easily clear $15,000, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that we came in under $12,000, especially for the amount of work that I was looking at. The quotes were also very detailed, breaking down each cost for the spaces I needed repaired. I was provided PDFs of these quotes for my own records and when it came time to pay, I was able to pay in parts when each part of the job began. Marcos and his team were also very patient with my work and travel schedules, always coordinating with me to make sure things were done not only in a timely manner, but in proper sequence and done thoroughly. Throughout the whole process, Marcos was kind, knowledgable, communicative, professional, and understanding. I was originally afraid that there was extensive damage to my unit because of how everything appeared on the outside, especially because of water in my circuit breaker. But Kory, the guy who was in charge of making sure all the moisture and mold was taken care of, not only gave me a very clear and easy to understand explanation of all the damage, but he actually was able to show me that the damage to my wall was significantly less worse than what we thought. I expected to lose my cabinets but thanks to Kory, I was able to keep them! He also made sure that a thorough job was done to dry out my apartment so the insurance company would see that we did things exactly by the book and that the water mitigation was thorough. He was incredibly nice, professional, and trustworthy. After Kory, Francisco their drywall specialist came in and did a quick and thorough job of repairing and replacing the drywall that did receive damage. Scheduling time with them was easy thanks to Marcos and Francisco arrived in a timely manner, once again making it easy for me on my tough work schedule. I received drywall work that was even better than what I originally had which was great. Francisco was efficient, professional, and did a excellent job. Finally, Leo, the flooring guy came in with another employee and did an incredible job with my flooring. Marcos provided resources to help me choose new flooring, which was done at H&C Flooring in Kalihi. Sophia was very helpful in recommending good colors and material. Once that was done, Leo did an excellent job communicating all of his work and showing me what was done and what still needed to be done. A big thank you to him as well for putting up with the amount of stuff that I had in the apartment still and moving it all around to do the flooring. He even came in on a Sunday to make good progress on finishing the flooring! Leo was incredibly thorough, professional, kind, and I really appreciated his work. Overall, my experience with Hawaii Water Damage Restorartion was excellent. Marcos, Kory, Francisco, Leo and the rest of the team were great to work with and incredibly professional. I truly appreciated their attention to detail, patience with my situation, and really making sure that I had what I needed for insurance purposes. My apartment feels whole again and they made this whole process incredibly easy for me. I would recommend them for your remediation and restoration needs! Mahalos to you all for your great work!

He also made several trips to the paint store to ensure the paint was matched perfectly. Throughout the process, he was friendly, professional, and kept me informed about the work being done.

I highly recommend Daniel for his dedication, attention to detail, and excellent service.

Nothing but SUPERB service and client support from MD Restoration. My husband and I felt completely…read morelost dealing with the ordeal we're currently going through, and we didn't even know where to start. Last week, I reached out to the company regarding a water leak issue and explained our situation. The customer service representative was very accommodating--she took my information and advised that a project manager would be in touch. I didn't have to wait long at all. PM Andy called me shortly after and scheduled an immediate inspection of our home. Although Andy could have scheduled us for a later date, he sensed the urgency of our situation and was kind enough to work around my availability. He came first thing in the morning shortly after our initial call. I was extremely impressed and grateful for the company's fast response. Andy kept an open line of communication, patiently answering all our questions and guiding us on next steps while we were completely clueless about the process. Today, I wasn't expecting another call from MD Restoration, but my husband had been in contact with Andy, who helped us get the dehumidifier scheduled. Around a little past 3 p.m., Yonell called me. I missed her first call, but she left a voicemail and followed up just minutes later. When I answered, Yonell was truly a breath of fresh air. After a long workday, her jolly and upbeat personality helped me de-stress immediately. Even though it was near the end of the day, she was still lively, positive, and a pleasure to speak with. She promptly scheduled herself and her team to come out right away with the necessary equipment for dehumidification of our Mikasa. Yonell arrived exactly as scheduled, and she and her partner completed their tasks efficiently. What made the experience truly memorable was her exceptional customer service--fun and lively, yet still professional. I genuinely enjoyed working with her and wouldn't mind working with her again. Overall, our experience with MD Restoration has been far beyond good -- it's been great. They've helped put both my husband and me at ease during a stressful water leak situation. Thank you so much!

The bathroom was a new renovation done just before we moved in. A plumber came in and had to demo the entire base of the shower and cut a hole in the kitchen ceiling to repair the issues. He mentioned a bacterial smell. I called our landlord to request a mold inspection and MD was over the very next day. They have all the tools to assess the moisture leve and indicated that it was necessary to use two large dehumidifiers to dry out the mess. Lua is excellent! She explained the situation and plan of action and was extremely sympathetic toward our chaos. She told me that she would be checking back every couple of days and that I could expect to see her for sure. I find this to be really reassuring that I knew I would be able to expect a friendly, familiar face. She returned today and did all the necessary checks and determined that the dehumidifiers had done their job and we could get them out. I'm really pleased with their professionalism, timely response, efficiency with their work, and clear communication. I definitely recommend working with them and cross your fingers that Lua is the one on the job!

Careless Work After Asbestos Removal -- Damaged My Renovated Home…read more I hired this company for asbestos removal. The ceiling removal and painting were done well, but everything else was handled with no care at all. My home was fully renovated before the project, and now I'm left with damages everywhere. The walls near the ceiling were scratched, and they tried to cover it up with paint that's a different shade of white, which made it even more noticeable. My door is chipped, and they stapled into my wood floors without removing the staples. The bathtub coating is peeling and chipped in multiple spots (see photos). It was in perfect condition before, so it's clear they didn't protect the area during the work. I've already spent 6 hours just touching up the walls, and I still haven't even started fixing the bathtub damage. For a company dealing with something as sensitive as asbestos, I expected professionalism and care -- instead, I'm left with frustration and extra work. I would only recommend this company if you don't care about anything else except the one thing you hired them for. Otherwise, be prepared to spend your own time fixing the mess they leave behind.

We used this certified contractor for abestos removal of the popcorn ceiling in our home built in…read more1969. Kapili Reyes performed the abestos testing and confirmed the presence. We did request estimates from other abatement contractors. Although Kapili did not have the lowest estimate, they were competitive and stayed in close contact with us throughout the entire process before we made our decision. What made them stand out was their genuine concern to help us. We negotiated a fair price that was a "win-win" for both sides. Kapili initially gave us a 4 to 5 day removal time. To our surprise, he and his crew completed the removal in 2 days. We received our clearance by an independent lab after the 2nd day. All in all, we were very pleased with the service provided by Kapili's company. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to test and remove abestos from their home.

Estimates took over three months to calculate for a small apartment bathroom, which I suspect was nothing more than them dilly dallying as they immediately started when our manager sent them a strongly worded letter. There was a leak from the unit above, and the unit called this establishment. The unit's bathroom toilet pipe had been leaking and seeped into the walls and cabinets with mold starting to grow. Rescue One advised us not to remove the cabinets, so we left them on. Repair didn't start until THREE MONTHS LATER. They kept making excuses about how they were calculating stuff, etc... and we still had moldy cabinets on the walls, drenched in sewer water. Repairs finally began and they dropped the drywall they brought in, which broke. They tried to cover it up and told us that nothing was wrong when we asked. They left scratches on the walls, chips around the door frames, bathtub, and bathroom. They also installed the toilet bowl incorrectly, and the person surveying it looked annoyed when we mentioned it to them. They told us that the toilet roll holder was salvageable but the cabinets were not, so we bought a new cabinet but not a toilet roll holder. When everything was finished, we realized that they had silently replaced the old toilet roll holders with some cheap ones (which they later charged us for), which were placed so high up because the repairman was over six feet tall and didn't think to ask us (5 feet people) where we wanted it to be. When I sat on the toilet, the holder came up to my HEAD. The medicine cabinet was also placed too high (and crooked). We could hardly see our head in the mirror from how high they placed it and we had to ask that they redo it, which they looked extremely irritated and annoyed at. However, it was the repairman who came in and did everything without ever asking us about it, so whose fault was that, really?

R&M was the last one I called and was the last one to come out to give us a free estimate. Allan/owner is THE AB-BEST~!! I got a range of estimates... one was lower than R&M and said it was black mold... the next one was kind of outrageously too high... and 3rd said we'd have to have a plumber come "find the water leak" that was causing the mushroom growth, so they couldn't give us a quote... and finally, I called R&M, but no one answered, so I left a message... received a call or text not too long after... All of the men who came were nice, but there was something about Allan that was different... he seemed most sincere... and being from SF, I loved his "local-ness with aloha spirit"... LOL... my intuition told me Allan was the best... and during the job which took less time than quoted, Allan actually told us he was knocking off a couple of hundred b/c he didn't have to cut out the dry wall which was in the original estimate... WHAT BUSINESS IS HONEST ENOUGH TO DO THAT?? My intuition was SPOT-ON about Allan... LOL... I got to know Allan during the several days it took to complete the work... He & his guy were professional, efficient, respectful, courteous, and GENUINELY GOOD SOULS! I HIGHLY-RECOMMEND ALLAN & HIS COMPANY!! If you're looking for someone who does what Allan's company does, most definitely ask for a quote and compare with others... you will see what I mean about him being most sincere... AND HE'S HONEST, TOO!! and knowledgeable... he said it wasn't black mold~! Thank you so much, Allan~!! I hope to see you around, but not for any problems, hopefully~~ LOL MUCH SUCCESS TO YOU, ALLAN~!!

I was dealing with water intrusion from another condo unit that caused significant water and mold damage to my bedroom wall. PuroClean was responsive, professional, and efficient--they quickly got everything dried out and handled the demolition seamlessly. Michelle, the owner, is exceptional. She goes above and beyond to support you through what is a very stressful situation. Kai and Kody were also fantastic. They demolished the wall with impressive precision and took great care to minimize dust. They created a proper containment area, cut clean, straight lines in the drywall, and protected my furniture and belongings from humidity damage. They even lined high-traffic areas to keep the carpet clean--attention to detail like that really stood out. I would absolutely trust this company again and can't say enough good things about them.

Thankfully, there's Yelp where I'm grateful to have found Nestor Flores of AdvantaClean dba NDC Water Extraction LLC. Nestor was quick to respond to my inquiry and to schedule a free, no obligation field inspection followed by a prompt and extremely fair written estimate. Upon meeting with him, I was immediately put to ease by his integrity of character and strength of conviction to honesty. These are among some of the intangible qualities in another person that I greatly appreciate. As a previous employee of an extraction company, for over 16 years, Nestor worked his way up from the bottom to learn and to develop a broad range of understanding involving every aspect of this industry and beyond. With his wealth of hands-on experience and personal commitment to the highest of standards, in 2020, Nestor started his own business through the AdvantaClean franchise. It's only with the dedication and help of caring individuals like Nestor, we're able to breathe a sigh of relief today as we ready ourselves for reconstruction. Although I personally understand how difficult and unsettling this type of situation can be, when things return to normal for you, please take a moment to share a review? Nestor deserves a world of credit and gratitude for his wonderful heart for helping others. Thank you so much, Nestor and Christian.

I had several issues with this company. Do not waste your time or money…read more Context: We need to repaint our home due to HOA requirements, and I reached out to 9 contractors across Oahu, including Handy Andy. 1/ They were the ONLY ones to charge a fee for an "on-site visit," i.e., just viewing our property and drafting an estimate. The charge was $175 and was "applied as credit" for the job; otherwise, if we don't move forward with them, it would be non-refundable, which is already a scam because of problem number 2. 2/ Between the 9 contractors, the quotes for the SAME painting job of our house I received were between the range of $6100 to $7800 AND exactly one at $16,073. Handy Andy quoted nearly DOUBLE what every single licensed painting contractor and company I reached out to is charging as of 2026. They articulated in their quote that they would try and price match any licensed contractor, but why would we trust them when they are so far from the average, and they are not transparent about what paint they're using, which would help us discern the quality? (see number 4) So now they keep the $175 for stopping by our house for 10 minutes, because there would be no way we would go with them after doing our research. I will note that I understand gas can be expensive, so I would not have minded paying a smaller fee for the trip to subsidize that cost, despite no one else charging us, but there is no way it cost $175 to send their intern (see item number 5). 3/ Every single contractor except for Handy Andy included minor wood repairs, chips, etc within the total cost, still not exceeding $8000, which was not the case and came at an additional cost to us. 4/ Every single contractor, within their quote, provided the exact paint they were planning to use, which helped us discern the quality of paint (For reference, the highest tier, the Ultra Premium option from Sherwin-Williams Rain Refresh, was quoted at $7400 in total for us), but Handy Andy did not include this information in their quote which would directly help us understand the value of what we are paying for. 5/ For the onsite visit (which they had to postpone for the following day after I had already changed my plans to accommodate their timing), every single company/contractor I called, the person who was either going to paint the house, owned the company or be part of the team that was going to paint showed up... except for Handy Andy. This young individual showed up to do the assessment. He said he was their scout and would not do any part of the actual paint and repair job. I asked him basic questions about priming and caulking, and brought up questions and concerns, particularly moisture treating, because Oahu is obviously very hot and humid, and he was unable to answer, often saying, "I'm not sure I know what that is, but I will get back to you." Considering I paid $175 for this individual, I would expect him to know the basic requirements of homes here. Overall, my husband and I are very upset that we spent $175 just to get a quote that was double the going rate on the island, and we feel like we were scammed. Don't waste your time!
