Please stay away! I've had a horrible experience with Loni and his crew. My newly built retaining wall has already suffered multiple cracks and is deteriorating quickly. Additionally, Loni did not complete the project as promised. I've reached out to Loni multiple times for several weeks regarding the issue, only to be flaked on multiple times... Here's my experience in depth: I called multiple companies to receive quotes/bids. Since Loni was one of the fastest and most responsive, I agreed to go with him on 8/3/17. The final bid was $4,000 for a low 40' retaining wall and french drain. This area was a concern for me since it's known to take in alot of rainwater during heavy pours (which I emphasized to Loni). We agreed on a completion date of 8/6/17 -- two full days to complete. Thursday morning (Aug 3rd): Loni and his crew drop off the machinery, cement, sand, and gravel (for the french drain). Friday morning (Aug 4): Loni and his crew dig up, install the rebar, and pour the base of the retaining wall. Saturday morning (Aug 5): Loni texts me early in the morning that he and his crew won't be able make it until next Tuesday. Tuesday (Aug 8): The crew has trouble with their excavator (starts to leak hydraulic fluid every and begins to overheat). The rest of the crew continues to stack the CMU bricks on the wall. In the afternoon I was notified that the wall was not high enough to be leveled throughout the front of the property. I agreed to pay an additional $500 for another layer of CMU. Towards the end of the day, Loni recommended to bypass the french drain all-together claiming that it was it was completely unnecessary (although it was included in the original quote). Although I disagreed with him on the matter, I went with his recommendation to grade the dirt instead. At the end of the day, I paid him $4,500 and received a generic invoice via email (dated for 6/30/17 for some reason). Fast forward a month later, we had our first heavy rain. I went outside to check on the wall and I was shocked to find a huge flow of water eroding away in front of the wall. I frantically made a makeshift dam (with large rocks) to keep the water from further deteriorating the CMU wall and running off all the gravel Loni laid down. I contacted Loni regarding the issue and never heard from him. In September/October, I started to raise my concern with him and got very slow/flaky responses from him). After weeks of back and forth, Loni not only says he's not available for another month (since he's busy), he also wants to charge an additional fee to fix the issue. I've uploaded the picture of the wall as well as my ongoing conversations with Loni (# blurred out in accordance to Yelp's privacy guidelines). I am considering taking this to court.... Summary: -- My CMU wall is deteriorating and cracking (only after a month it was built) -- Loni and his team did not complete the project as promised (did not complete the french drain as agreed upon) -- I paid higher than my original, agreed bid -- The promised completion date was delayed by an additional 3 days for unknown reasons -- Complete Masonry had very poor maintained machinery that overheated and leaked everywhere -- Follow-up service was very poor and Loni refuses to fix the issue. read more

Few facts you should know before hiring "Complete Masonry" from lessons learned because we didn't know when we hired him back in Jun 2017. The Owner goes by "Loni" and his legal name is Ammaron J. Piutau (as in "Ammaron P." the first person to leave a Tip on Yelp on this business profile). He's unlicensed. According to the state's Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs (DCCA) website, "Complete Masonry" does not have a current business license. I'm posting pictures of the job he and his crew did at my house. We hired them to re-do the pool surround/decking. Not only was the job completely sloppy and caused damage to my property, the crew deliberately DUMPED CONCRETE into my pool!!!! They didn't properly protect anything and when they had to re-do the concrete, they pulled chunks off and just dumped it into my pool causing damage and we had to empty the pool and fix it. Even if they were properly licensed, they didn't show up for several days on multiple occasions and we had to ask when they were going to show up several times. Seems to repeat this pattern with other customers. They never completed the job properly and the stain on the concrete looked horrible. Concrete splatter everywhere and just plain sloppy work. read more

Good thing it's the dry season, still no roof tile for roof they mostly fixed after knocking into it with heavy equipment. Stucco wall also knocked into is fixed but paint job not a good match. They are not perfectionists read more

These guys do great work. The concrete ceiling in my carport was sagging and they cleared it out and poured a new slab. They also grouted the rock wall surrounding my house. I would highly recommend them for any masonry. read more

Loni was able to provide a quick quotation with a very reasonable price. When agreed, he immediately offered a date and time availability. The next day, his crew went to work at 8am sharp. The cement truck arrived an hour later. Perfect timing as the forms were layed. His crew worked hard with no loss time. Very independant hard workers. Loni and his crew worked well with each other. I highly recommend this company. Awsome!!! 5 STARS! read more

I have gone through many masonry company for my hillside residence. This is by far the best one. They stick to their promises in terms of completion date, quality work and quoted costs. They do not give excuses like "the work was more than what we originally thought because you have too many rocks underneath" to get the customer to pay more. They deliver results exceed my expectations. I will definitely use them again if I have any more masonry work to do in the future. I have already referred them to my friends. read more

Complete Masonry - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

Complete Masonry was not the first company I called, but was the last & truly will be the only company I use in the future. We needed a rock retaining wall 82' Long and 14' high, so not a small one day project, and trust was a big factor due to the need for a large amount of earth to be retained from falling onto the driveway. I knew one of Loni's workers, so we were off to a great start. A good working relationship starts even before the quote & Complete Masonry exceeded my expectations on every level. Loni & his team were professional, respectful and on time from the moment they arrived to quote and ultimately complete the project. He was reassuring regarding the safety of his team before, during and after completing the work. If the weather was not safe to work- he told me. Not a day went by that he didn't communicate if the team would be there or not. He respected the fact he was working around our home and his men did not leave cartons, forks, cigarette buts, cans or bottles laying around during or after the work day. Several neighbors watched from the curb and windows during the project due to the size, scope and amount of equipment and materials used. Each one commented on the cleanliness of his team, equipment and the worksite during the project as both AMAZING & professional. We extended the scope to include laying coplane on the driveway and parking pad. He finished all the work ahead of schedule, on budget and left an impeccably clean end product. He was very fair on the cost . I truly would not waste time in calling him in to give a quote and award my next project or yours. One more thing- I'm not related,& cant be paid to write a review- so this is given in the same way it's written- an EARNED review. Mahalo Loni & team! read more

Loni and his crew did a fantastic job for us. They were fast, efficient and treated us like family. They explained everything and even helped us plan our yard in the best possible way. We hired them for a sidewalk around our home and a driveway and they did exactly as they said they would. On time, no excuses, and finished even before expected. No hidden cost and they even take credit cards! We hired them to come back and do more work because we trust them with our home. They are going to do our retaining wall and even our fence. If you need work done on your home hire these guys if you want the job done correctly and on time. read more

Loni and his crew are truly hard working perfectionist. I wish they built my whole house. They all take great pride in their work. I highly recommend them and would gladly hire them again. Never been happier with a job. read more

These guys do tremendous work. I had an existing walkway demolished and replaced with a stamped concrete walkway and patio. I also had several planters built, a driveway patched, and a fence and gate replaced. The finished product is amazing. I would strongly recommend contacting Loni and his crew if you are looking for a quote on a landscaping project. read more

Mahalo to Loni and his crew who really know what they are doing. We asked them to add on to the project without notice after they arrived-no problem. They are in demand due to the high quality of their work and speed in performing it, so be patient in getting your project scheduled. Loni is a good man and exemplifies the aloha spirit. Potential clients may view the work they completed for us by contacting Loni. read more
