    I would start with zero stars if I could. Matt is the consummate snake oil salesman. He talks a huge game but delivers nothing. We overpaid for his services based on his review, only to find out from his subcontractors that he goes back after the fact on past jobs to give "freebies and add-ones" in order to satisfy poor reviews and get his vaunted "perfect 5-star review". To top it off, he makes his subs pay for the add-one out of their overhead! I should have gone with my gut the first time we met, or when he surprised us with the fact that we would have to do a permit as an owner/builder since he doesn't actually have a full general contractor's license. He has to use his dad's license number, but doesn't because his own dad charges him 5% to use it. His team destroyed our yard and only cleaned up after repeated requests to fix things. My garden and irrigation system heads remain buried. Contractual requirements remain unfulfilled, despite the fact that we have paid him over half of the "max budget". I'm attaching some pictures of his fine work, including the new hole in our exterior ceiling where his employee stepped through the floor and didn't repair it. Stay far away from this guy. His subs were decent, but Matt is out of his depth as a contractor. Don't make the same mistake we did. Over budget, not in schedule, and left to hold the bag in a mess to have to hire somebody else to come fix. Please, please, heed my warnings. Both my wife and I are vets and generally trust people and take them in their word. Don't make our mistake and trust Matt Azouz and Handy Hawaii.

    Front porch after, notice attention to detail! This thing is more solid than my house.

    * Fast response; very easy to set up meeting for estimate and was able to get the ball rolling pretty soon after. * Very professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable beyond handy work/construction and makes sure we are both on the same page about everything (even if it takes a little extra time.) * Price seems comparable, definitely more than you'd pay an average Joe, but less than or the same as similar legitimate companies. * Does offer discounts for future work (this may just be for full remodeling) Details: I can't function in life without checking Yelp first. Sometimes I wonder how I ever got by before checking to make sure people on the internet approve. Just kidding, sort of. But really, any time I decide to do something I always put a lot of research into it and will often make a permanent decision to utilize a service/company before meeting with them and I won't bother shopping around beyond my computer screen. This may seem foolhardy, but I have hardly been let down this way, and truthfully my lifestyle (stay-at-home mom w/two evil kids under 4 years...okay, not evil, they just don't like me) needs me to make hard decisions as soon as I can or I head down the road of procrastination...kids always come first. I do also research beyond reviews on Yelp so I have an idea of how much I expect to spend and what I can expect from the overall process, so stop judging. Anyway, Matt got back to me almost immediately after requesting an estimate and we were able to work out a meeting very easily about a week out, though I believe we could have met sooner, I needed to do it when I'd have someone to help with my kids or I can't understand what anyone is saying to me and usually forget entire conversations beyond, "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mammamamamamamamamommymommymommy!" "What?" "Hello." Finally met with him and found him to be an extremely professional and friendly guy. Zero awkwardness and felt more like dealing with a cousin or brother. I'd like to point out that my youngest son (1.5yr) is not Mr. Aloha like his older brother....he hates strangers. He generally cries if new people try to hold him, sometimes just talking to him gets him going...he was totally attached to Matt. Even gave him a hug and kiss when he left. I'd like to think of babies sort of like dogs and cats, you know, they tend to have a sixth sense of who can be trusted and who's gonna poke them in the eye or take their food. Matt spent a lot of time with me discussing not only the initial problem I needed fixed (front porch was falling apart), but I explained we planned on remodeling the entire home, and building up/expanding half of it, and during the interim I need other odd jobs taken care of, so we discussed just about everything and he came up with a plan based on my overall needs. Basically while they're doing the small stuff, they will just do what's necessary for us to live normally until we can get the remodel started -- not setting me up to spend thousands on something he'll be tearing down in a year. Only reason we can't get the remodel started right now is we still need to buy the house. It's one of those "grandpa left it to four kids with various stipulations" kinda deals. There's another thing Matt knows about...he's also a realtor and was able to help me figure out how we go about getting the ball rolling on that stuff. I seriously have no clue, and our situation is slightly more complicated since we already own two other houses but have to live in this one. He doesn't push anything on me; he will let me know his opinion if it's different than mine, with an explanation why my choice might not be what he'd do, but ultimately (no arm pulling) will go with whatever I'm comfortable with. I appreciate getting a professional's opinion (I've worked with other people before and have had them just do exactly what I told them to which didn't work out very well because I don't always have a full understanding of the way things need to be done, or I've had them flat out refuse to do something unless I go with exactly what they want.) So they've just completed the first job which was tearing down our old porch (some termite damage and a brick wall that was probably being held up by ants and their homes), and rebuilding/expanding it. I was able to show Matt some pictures of what I liked and my porch looks better than I imagined. His team, Tim & Kawika are super friendly and professional as well, and they also passed the test with my kids. They're coming back today to start on putting in a window a/c, then on to bigger projects. I'd write more but apparently I've (for the first time) hit Yelp's limit. I'll be writing reviews for every project and posting pictures, don't fret. Mahalo Matt, Tim & Kawika!

I have worked with many handyman services and to be honest, most of them are good but not great. They do a decent job and sometimes they can't finish the job and then what? I have to finish it myself or hire someone else. Most of them don't return calls. You would be amazed how many don't return calls. I mean simple communication goes a long way. I didn't find Hideki, my wife did. I tried the usual Yelp searches and called a few. I filled out request forms and then never got a call back. One of them insisted that all I needed was a tool. Despite knowing the tool wouldn't work, I bought it anyway and of course the tool didn't work. In the meantime, my wife was talking to Hideki. He was a good communicator and he agreed to come by. I told him the job would be tough but he did it and he did GREAT. Now that I let you guys know about him, I hope he doesn't get so busy that he will be unavailable. But I have found the great handyman that we always knew existed but was so hard to find.

He treats your home as if it is his own and will give honest advice if something isn't worth doing or if there is a cheaper solution. He also will leave the work area clean and tidy and takes care in the rest of your home. He's helped me with big and small projects ranging from installing a new bath vanity, replacing ceiling fans, painting, hanging things like curtain rods, baby gate mounting, etc. I've gotten quotes from other handyman businesses and his rate is very fair and reasonable. I also like knowing who I'm dealing with as he is only one person and felt comfortable giving him keys and access to my house if I couldn't be on site.

    Sorry but it's a long but worthwhile review. I really don't like giving bad reviews since it can…read morereally affect a business. But I felt I needed to in this case. I called Anytime Handyman to come out and replace 2 damaged doors and install 2 new doors. I sent a text message to let Tyler letting him know my lock box number since it's a rental and no one will be there to let him in. I gave explicit instructions as to which doors needed to replaced. (it was obvious because of the visible damages). He sent me the estimate, I agreed and paid for the doors so he could order it. They went back to the rental, and installed the new doors as planned. Here's the prolblem, they took off the wrong door (not damaged) and put the new door on. Leaving the damaged door still damaged. That's not the end of it, the latch was not installed properly, it had a hole and crack. As for the other door that they installed, there was also a problem, the strike plate and latch were off centered and wasn't closing properly. I called Tyler to tell him the wrong door was removed and replaced, and sent him a snap shot of the text I sent him when he went out for the estimate, explaining which doors needed to be replaced. His answer was, that's not how he interpreted it. Everything seemed to be wrong with the job. From the wrong door being replaced, to the damages to the door and the other door's latch not closing properly. He said not to worry and it's normal it's not a problem, just let him do his job. Now I'm no handyman but I do know how to install a lockset, and I've never seen a hole of that size, nor did I ever see a strike plate and latch installed at an angle. In Tyler's defense, he did say if I'm not happy he would give me a new door. But at this point, my trust with their quality of work has diminished. Not even a new door would make me continue to do business with them. I will take that loss, and stop all remaining repairs with this company. Update: I read the business owner's responses to my review. First of all, the "so called Painter's" was my daughter and son in law who came over the weekend to help paint the doors, only to find the damaged doors and discrepancies on the other door as well, including the wrong door that was removed. I would have no reason to damage these doors that I had already paid in Full upon completion on Weds. Lastly, it speaks volumes when a business owner would illegally break a homeowner's right of privacy and send photos to anyone requesting it, without prior authorization. I stand by my review.

No mark up on supplies and very honest about man hour labor charges. Stayed within requested budget. Would highly recommend if you're looking for reasonably priced repairs.
