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!

I rarely write yelp reviews, but in this case I have to make an exception. Zuma Development just…read morecompleted the remodel of my condo at the Kapalua Golf Villas. I primarily worked with Jeff Dreschel, one of Zuma's owners. I have never had a better experience with a contractor. Jeff came in on budget and completed the project on time. If you have ever worked with a contractor, you know that contractors never come in on budget or on time. I cannot give Jeff and his team at Zuma enough praise. My condo was completely gutted and every aspect of the remodel was perfect. Jeff recommended a cabinet maker that made beautiful cabinets. I installed Versailles porcelain tile throughout the unit which was perfectly completed. One other aspect of Jeff is that he has a great design sense. We left it to him to choose the granite, paint color, doors and hardware, and every choice he made was perfect. Again, most contractors have no design sense, but Jeff is the exception. Finally, I should mention that Jeff pays attention to detail and informed us on practically a daily basis the status of the remodel. In summary, if you need a contractor, you would be making a mistake by not using Zuma Development.

We recently had John with Zuma oversee the renovation of our Master Bathroom. Not only did John…read moreprovide us with a pretty accurate financial expectation up front (a relief with any renovation!), but he was so on the ball throughout the entire process. His subcontracted guys did a good job, were respectful and professional. John made a point to oversee every step of the reno, which was much appreciated considering our 3 jobs, 2 kids, and overall life busy-ness. I would highly recommend Zuma Development!

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!

Matt gave us daily updates with pictures which put us at ease. They've gone above and beyond to get the work done!

Although we have a large home, multiple quotes from other reputable painters came in around ~30k…read morewith various options on trim, color palettes etc. Nalu painting quote starting price of $85k including a couple trim option was way off. Nalu painting could start the work immediately, which made me very suspicious. Reputable painters on Maui are busy and someone with immediate availability is questionable. Unfortunately I would not recommend at this time as another painting contractor performed the job quickly and to our satisfaction for a third of the price. Keep on looking elsewhere for your painting contractor

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.

Ron was incredibly responsive, communicative, and kept us in the loop every step of the way. We gutted and remodeled the kitchen and bathroom, installed new flooring, re-wired the electrical, removed the outdated ceiling, installed a new split-system AC and painted the whole condo. When challenges arose, as they often do in a remodel, Ron was quick to offer creative solutions and keep the project on track. The workers he brought in were true experts, ensuring everything was done to the highest standard. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Ron for any contracting project. He made the process stress-free and delivered on all our expectations!
