I didn't want to be sold to from a guy who just wanted another install. Chris sat down with us, explained clearly what was involved to install it properly. When we agreed to do the install, he handled all of the paperwork with the homeowners association, permits - all of it. When the guys came out to install it, they were totally professional - and I was watching them every step of the way. It was just installed so properly, and it looks awesome. They made sure that it looked great. I always felt that solar was kind of a scam since so many companies do it. But we are generating about 50+ KW on clear days this month. It's awesome. Air conditioner on all the time, and we are netting out a surplus that we can use during the winter months when there is less sun. Finally, I can attest that our bill with HECO is $17 bucks a month with our system, and that our tax rebate was about half the cost of the install. Our break even is in about 3 and a half years. They went over and above the what is required in a normal install. They painted the conduits to comply with homeowner association. We totally recommend these guys. Very happy, it was a great decision. A great investment.

I heard about this Simple Service LLC on the radio. I decided to try them out. The service did not start well, which set the tone for the entire service call. I was told that the service technician would be arriving between (10:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.). They arrived at 12:00 p.m., this is important because I work in the afternoon. The workers were behind schedule and unorganized. It was very hectic yelling for each other, asking to use my bucket, ladder, water hose, and towels. The result of the cleaning was mediocre. One of the tech bent my curtain rod. I was not informed. They were leaving my home, and I ran out to the road to ask what happened. They said sorry, and they would replace the curtain rod. The owner, Guy, came to my home and replaced the curtain rod. My water hose was left pressurized and unrolled. Not how it was stored before they used it. My floor and window frame were left dirty from cleaning. The pricing for the service was average. No discount or anything offered for the mistakes of the technicians. This was not a good experience for me.

Most local A/C companies either wouldn't touch the system or recommended replacing it altogether since solar A/C units are no longer installed and parts are hard to come by. I was starting to think there was no option other than a full replacement--until R&R referred me to Guy at Simple Service. From the moment I spoke with Guy, I knew we were in good hands. He made time to visit my parents at the earliest opportunity, fully aware the unit might need to be replaced. When he arrived, he treated my parents with the utmost respect and care--which meant everything to me, being so far away. To our surprise and relief, Guy was able to get the unit running again with just a deep clean and a new remote--no replacement needed! My parents were overjoyed, and so was I. They now plan to use his services annually to keep things running smoothly. Guy, thank you for your honesty, expertise, and aloha spirit. You truly went above and beyond, and we're so grateful. Simple Service lives up to its name--with service that's thoughtful, trustworthy, and simply excellent. Mahalo nui loa!

That person (according to my tenant) was a bit rude and they overpriced everything. On top of that, I gave that handyman a list of specific things to fix and he suggested more things for the tenant to ask me to fix! So I will be giving them a 1 star. On the other hand, Sonny was professional, timely and reasonably priced. He was great at communicating every step of the way. This is a fairly newer company which is why their 5 star reviews aren't piling up just yet. But I'm sure they will. I love supporting local business run by locals. Give them a call, I highly recommend Next Generation Handyman.

It pays to be flexible!! Dave showed up got straight to work. Removed old fan/light combo installed my new fan/light with remote control. (It's a plus!! ) In less than an hour!! My tall son had to help him hold the fan up in place to screw in. Some jobs need extra hands, no problem. Dave also replaced the broken fan blade in my living room, no charge!! Pros: Knowledgeable and very reasonable. Came with a can-do attitude. Cons: Not an issue with me, I had to clean up area. Just mentioning time and cleaning just in case someone expects more!! For me I am 100% satisfied. Especially when another company quoted me $700 to install the fan. Ridiculously shameful! Would I use Handiman Dave again.. Definitely Do I recommend Handiman Dave. 100% and he is backed by Yelp. Tell Dave Ann from Kapolei recommended him.

When I got the keys to my newly purchased condo in June 2021, I hired Dave to install a new window…read moreAC unit. He had a very good price so I went with him over a few other handymen. All I have to say is, "You get what you pay for." I'm being fair with 3 stars because he definitely did the job he was hired to do, but at the same time, with his experience, he didn't consider or suggest making the installation water tight. I do remember him commenting that there was caulking all throughout the outside wall around the AC unit. He said that was overkill and it wasn't necessary. The AC unit that was removed was bigger than the new one, so the hole left was quite big. It was good while I didn't live in the condo while I had work done, as well as it not raining as much since it was Summer. but then a few weeks ago, my wife and I started to notice water damage to our laminate flooring, which appeared to spread from the AC as the source. Top it off, a neighbor above had a fast leaking AC unit, which was also dripping water into this hole. After having hired another handyman to fix the job just this past Friday, this new handyman confirmed that the hole that was left open allowed rain to penetrate into the open section to the left of the AC, which allowed for water to pool and build up in the wall, which eventually spread beneath the floor. Quite disappointing, as anyone could imagine since now I have to hire a contractor to find flooring that will match my existing floors, rip out my newly installed expensive baseboards and the damaged flooring to fix everything because I wanted to save about $150.. I'm not in anyway trying to deter anyone from hiring Dave. I'm sure he is competent, but just think for yourself at times and question what is right and wrong. Especially if you see that something is done or set up a certain way in your home, make sure you have him fully inspect and determine if shortcuts are okay.

And an amazing Contractor as well! His high Quality Standards and attention to details are out of this world! He makes sure he understands the jobs scope. Price was so reasonable too! Our Monier Tile Roof is not an easy job. He takes care of details and does fabulous work. Then we added more work, he did an extended patio and extended master bedroom. We think he is so great, he painted our whole house. What a talented Contractor. He's not just roofing, he can do any job. Nothing is too small or too big for him. He will take the time and follow your design. But April 2026, our solar water guy cracked some tiles. We got a bad leak around it. Our ceiling was getting moldy and we shouldn't have put it off. I called Francis and he remembered me after 22 years. He promptly gave us a proposal for the replacement of cracked tiles and for a Solar Ceiling fan. He is so honest. The price was again very reasonable! Then on top of that, he said he can work us in his busy schedule! We are so thrilled. Other roofers will try to sell you a new roof. They lie and say they cannot find monier tiles and to do the whole roof. Or even tell you when they go on the roof, they will crack more tiles. You don't want high pressure sales. He does big projects as well, Honolulu Hale and many companies. If they also trust him, you can too! He is very busy but will do everything to expedite your start date. You will be Blessed!

Terrible customer service. HORRIBLE!…read more We bought an older house and after these past few months of rain, we noted some leaks coming from the ceiling. The roof was within the five year warranty period (according to the house/disclosure documents) so we called up international roofing which was listed as the company who did the original job. I've had two distinct encounters with international roofing so far and i will retell them in detail: 1) this past August after the a week straight of heavy rain, we noted a leak in our extension. I called international roofing and requested an assessment. At first, they took my information and said they would call and schedule one as soon as they can, but after two days of not hearing from them I called them again. I was met with the same promise so after another day of no response, I called again and only after calling the office several times in a span of 48 hours was I able to get Ariel, the owner to come assess the house. When he arrived he informed me that the area where the leak was was not part of their original repair and did not fall under the warranty. Fair enough, so I requested a quote (which he gave verbally) and I agreed. He said he would return another time to fix the area. Fast forward one week later, No follow up or call from either the owner or the office. I called the office again who seemed to not remember my case, so I explained my story and told them I wanted to proceed with the repairs, and they requested that I email them a formal request. I went ahead and did that and one week later still no response. I was finally fed up so my husband decided to buy a temporary sealant for a temporary repair and we went with another company for the actual fix 2) my second experience with international roofing was just this past week. Again, after days of heavy rain we noted two other leaks...this time it was under the area that WAS done by international roofing and is within the warranty...so I sucked it up (even if I didn't want to) and called the company again. I spoke with a pleasant lady on Monday who told me that the owner Ariel was on big island and would call me back the next day (Tuesday). By Wednesday, still no phone call, so I called the office again and was informed that Ariel would get back to me. No explanation or anything and like a fool I continued to wait. It is now Friday (granted it was thanksgiving on Thursday) and still no email or call or explanation. This is probably the worst customer service I've experienced from a TERRIBLY unprofessional company. At this point I am so frustrated that I don't care if it's within the warranty or not as I'll probably call another company for the actual repairs. International roofing's lack of response is rude, unprofessional and plain disrespectful of its customers. I can understand if they are busy or inundated with requests, but I didn't even get that explanation. I got NOTHING from this company! Take your business elsewhere.
