I started painting with my father at 12 years old and have done most of my own painting throughout…read moremy life. I had too much to do in our new home to do the painting, so I reluctantly hired a painter. I was very pleased with Sunset Painting. Alex takes his time with prep (which is 75% of the job). The result is a clean detailed job. On top of that, his price was the best.

Except for Alex Monell, I have never met a painter I liked. My experience has been most are…read moresomewhat sloppy, take no pride in their work, and don't even know enough to sand between coats, leaving "vacation" marks and streaks and drips. But Alex is an exception. His painting is perfect. I was very happy with the quality of his painting job, and his prices were on par with others as well. I called maybe a dozen painters before one of them came over to give me a quote. I figured if they can show up to quote, they can show up to paint. I read about one painter whom I had called earlier out of desperation, even though I read that when he could not finish a job on time, he offered to pray for the owner. Nobody wants a painter praying for them, for crying out loud. Customers just want the job done within the specified timeframe and completed in a professional manner. Not only did Alex paint my entire ceiling and fix all of the cracks that had been there for 10 years since the 2006 Hawaii earthquake, but he made a considerable effort to complete the job within the time frame I had given him. The reason he had to be finished within 10 days was because I had flooring contractors coming who would not appreciate him in their way, and the flooring contractors had to finish in time for when my husband's plane landed. So there was a great deal of stress on my part, and Alex met that deadline.

Requested electrical outlets be replaced throughout, hardware be installed on cabinets, 3 ceiling…read morefans to be replaced with new fans and one can light be retro fitted for a new ceiling fan. We ended up hiring others to complete the job. He insisted on charging more than his detailed quote. He said he'd done work that he had not completed yet. The quality of workmanship was poor, he damaged our cabinets by drilling holes in wrong places. Electrically, he installed GFCI outlets everywhere (even where not needed) which affected the functionality of 3 working switches. His solution to that was to cover those switches with blanks and claim those outlets didn't work properly. Whereas it was due to him installing GFCI outlets. Materials were marked up 35 percent, were more costly (by using GFCI outlets where not needed) and he mixed outlet cover styles requiring us to purchase further covers to make uniform throughout (and install ourselves). We had to hire an electrician to finish the ceiling fan installations, reset the remote pins so they wouldn't interfere with each other, and correct his outlet installation work. He would not honor his quote and insisted on more deposit money before he'd commit to finishing even though he hadn't even done things he said he'd done! Not trustworthy, poor quality, won't own up to mistakes, not recommended.

Working with them truly felt like a collaborative partnership where they truly had our best interests at heart. They are people of high integrity. They were incredibly AND proactively good at communicating throughout our project. They call back!! Very responsive! Our project was done ON TIME, within scope and budget, and done with high quality workmanship. We were renovating our 3/2 condo in Kona in January 2025 and decided to completely redo kitchen, tear out and rebuild lanai, regraded and cleaned up backyard, upgraded electrical switches, full paint, replace lighting etc...scope of work too long to note here. They did the entire job plus our add-on projects. They also addressed areas that they discovered needed to be done along the way. They did all of this while not disturbing the neighbors or making a mess in the development. We can't express enough how good GJ Bldg Svcs is and how much we appreciate them, and the way they conduct business and themselves. A true pleasure.

His team renovated our condo well within our timeframe and we are so pleased with his work, recommendations, and determination to complete our project to his standards. He was very forthright with setting expectations and what can and cannot be done - which we appreciated his honesty and candor especially with some of our redesign elements. He worked well especially having to deal with our property management, the other vendors we had coming in and out of the place, and our changes along the way. We enjoyed working with Mark and his team!

Mark did an wonderful job replacing our undermount kitchen sink. This is a tricky job that several…read moreother contractors declined to take on. Mark was diligent to get the sink mounted perfectly centered and secured it much better than the original. He had to redo the plumbing, which is shared with the dishwasher. This unavoidably interfered with the built-in drawer in the bottom of the cabinet. To resolve that, he did a beautiful, professional job modifying the drawer to fix the clearance issue. We also had a bathroom sink that wasn't draining well. He jumped on that, which was a big help as it was more complex than the usual clogged bathroom sink. I often do those myself, but it was much better to have a professional take care of this one. At every point, he was kind and helpful in explaining what he was doing and what we could do to avoid future issues. We learned a lot about the plumbing in our condo. He and his assistant left everything cleaner than when they arrived.
