We…read moreworked with them while living off island, during the pandemic, and with an aggressive timeline of about 3 months for an entire house remodel. Not only did they take us on as clients but they delivered from beginning to end! On the day to day I worked specifically with Brandon. He had great ideas, we collaborated daily, he never okay-ed any decisions without my approval, and always kept things moving where I could see significant progress happening at all times. Most days there would be an entire crew at the house, I never had to wonder if they would show up.. they always did! Thank you to Mike, Brandon, Canon, Steve, Dave, and everyone else on the Buddy L team who helped bring our vision to life. Below I've attached some before/after pictures on this fun project!

Palani and the entire ADR family always go the extra mile to make sure their customers get a top quality product. I have also had them do some remodeling work and from a client standpoint have nothing but praise for the quality that Palani delivered on my project. I always recommend ADR to my clients not just because I do their installs but because I am confident my clients will get the level of quality and professionalism that they deserve.

Palani is easy to contact, gives you updates, and makes sure I'm pleased with the job. He's willing to adjust and accommodate to fit the budget and still deliver great customer service and style. I wasn't present for the whole project, because they do not need a babysitter. They get the job done. He was still willing to help us by referring someone to move a gas line for us, weeks after his job was done. They set a high bar for what I expect from other home services! Bravo!

We have used most of the Plumbing companies on Maui and Pipesmith is the absolute, 100% best. Their Supreme quality of work speaks for itself.

We felt honored and humbled when Pipesmith Plumbing Will, squeezed us in his schedule, rebuilt our toilet, saved us money with his honesty, skills, and magic. Our family loves Pipesmith Plumbing.

Feels like scam! I paid $300k!…read more I'm very angry and disappointed! I chose Island Independence because of the positive reviews I found online. Unfortunately, the reality was much worse than expected. Gabe (the owner), and Mario (the manager) sound very professional and reliable, that's why I paid them $300k already for work + hidden fees for material purchases. They had to finish the work by April 2022. Look at the pictures below. That's what I get for my money 3 months after the deadline! I don't post any undone work related to delayed materials. I just show you the quality of their work in the areas where they had all the necessary materials and time to accomplished the work in time. Despite that, they take new contracts and just postpone their work at my house over and over again. For most of the questions like "When are you planning to fix this or that?" they just ignore me! Don't believe what they say. Don't trust the positive reviews. This company could be nice 4 years ago, but now they just focus on getting as many advance payments as possible and delaying their job. Moreover, we have evidence of their workers stealing and damaging our belongings. I will be happy to change this review when I get what I paid for, compensated for the trouble and when all this madness is over. Let's see how long it takes.

Add 50%+ to your budget (make sure you can get this much more money from your banker), and 1.5+ years to your schedule, and you are in the ballpark. DO NOT BELIEVE THE SALES PITCH!

Thanks to Calvin and Kaleb for maintaining a great group of skilled workers and my personal thanks again to all who were involved with the project!!! Gail Leiby

The fraudulent invoicing and fake charges continue…read more I wrote to the Regulated Industries Complaint Office (RICO) on the fraudulent invoicing of charges we never knew we owed. RICO responded that Valley Isle Builders has decided to write off the debt and they have no intention of pursuing the collections process. However Lars Bertelsen the president of the company would like me to remove the negative comments on Yelp. 1) This is a debt we never owed because it was never communicated to us there was extra charge of a travel fee on top of a service fee so "writing off a debt" the customer was never made aware of is a moot point. Lars is not doing us any favors. 2) Yelp is a consumer review site and Maui consumers deserve to know how Valley Isle operates with fraudulent billing practices. 3) Today, on June 1st, we received yet another invoice with finance charges on top of the "debt" we owe. Please see attached images for clarity and transparency purposes. You truly cannot make this stuff up. These people are a joke.
