For this project we reached out to five companies and he was the most responsive. He gave us a quote right away and took the time to meet us for a relatively small job. We hope to use his masonary servies in the future and if you have a concrete project you've been wanting to complete, you should abosolutely include Maka's Akamai Masonary on the short list, and you are likely to choose him.

Maka submitted a proposal to demo 5 single family dwelling units, total lot clearance and rough…read moregrade on an agreed price. He demo'ed the houses and did not hauled any of the debris. He lied about the progress of the work and asked for payment without completing the work under the agreement within the timeframe promised. Weeks and months have gone by and the work was still incomplete. Basically, this was a breach of contract and he failed to perform the agreed-upon work as outlined in the contract. For months, he was unresponsive despite multiple attempts to communicate to either finish the work or refund the payments made. After 5 months, he finally responded stating that he'll set up a repayment schedule to return the funds due to the breach of contract. Another 4 months have gone by and he has yet to repay any of the advance payments made. During those 4 months, multiple demands were made for the refund of payments made. He has been unresponsive. To date, 9 months later, he has failed to return the payments made. No effort at all to even set up a repayment schedule. His conduct has been unprofessional, unreliable, and has caused significant financial and personal inconvenience. I trusted him and paid him in advance when he asked for more money stating that he needed more funds to cover the rental equipment and pay his people. Never again with Maka. I plan to file a formal complaint with the appropriate licensing board and the BBB.

I needed to demolish the bathroom in a home i am currently remodeling. The toilet, basin, tiled…read moreshower, medicine cabinet and flooring had to be taken out. From the beginning, Leo always showed up when he said he would. First, to check the site and provide an estimate. Then second, to perform the demolition. They worked efficiently and finished the job earlier than expected. When I went in to inspect the demolition, I was pleased to see how neatly they did the job. They were careful not to damage the abutting walls and cleanly disconnected the plumbing. This will make it easier when the remodeling takes place. Overall, for the amount of work they did, manpower used and time it took, the price was right. Leo also gave me some suggestions on repairs around the house that were very helpful.

Time: How long does it take to find and interview a…read moredependable masonry contractor? After a two-week search, I selected Menora Masonry from four bids for my December 2024 retaining wall and drainage project. Suli, the owner, ran the mini excavator and ensured efficient teamwork during excavator operations Sione was pure strength. He did a lot of the excavating and put up new posts and gates. A lot was accomplished because he had a good work ethic and was trustworthy in every way. Younger Sione, Suli's nephew, executed precise bricklaying while others managed cement mixing. He rebuilt the failing wall sections and also a leaning column with great precision. Task on December 11, 2024: To replace the weak sections of my retaining wall that held the terraced front area of my property. Then run 80 feet of perforated PVC pipe underground along it to relieve the pressure of excess water into an adjoining swale easement. In addition, water in my back garden area, weathered by mauka wind and rain, would pool and seep beneath the slab of my house. Menora jackhammered part of the old walkway and created slope for the water to empty into the same swale easement and away from the foundation. They also built a raised cement barrier along the house. Communication: An area of improvement could have been reviewing our understanding of the planned work in intervals. While communication could improve with mid-project checkpoints (especially during garden water mitigation), post-work cleanup with Suli's son, Suli Jr., revealed excellent attention to detail. The January 2025 storm validated their work - both wall stability and drainage performed flawlessly under heavy wind and rain. I had complete peace of mind for my neighbors below that the wall would hold and not cause damage; and that the garden-side rain would not pool towards the house. I truly appreciate the hard work and effort on the part of Menora Masonry and highly recommend them!

I've been trying to get my royal palm trees serviced since October 8, and this has been one of the…read moremost frustrating experiences I've ever had with a landscaping company. Communication is extremely poor. Responses regularly took up to a week, if I got one at all. This was not a small or inexpensive job -- I was charged $3,769 -- yet the level of professionalism was completely lacking. After the work was done, even the company acknowledged that the job was handled terribly and agreed a refund was appropriate. I was told a refund check had been sent, but no tracking number was ever provided, and I never received anything. At this point, they are now refusing to issue the refund altogether, despite previously admitting fault. What makes this even more concerning is that when looking at their Yelp reviews, one of the few positive reviews appears to be written by the same person I was communicating with directly "Kaili D.". That seriously calls into question the credibility of the reviews on this page. Overall, this company took a large payment, delivered poor service, communicated poorly throughout, and then failed to follow through on a promised refund. I am extremely disappointed and upset with how this was handled and would strongly caution others before hiring them.

I am soooo glad that I hired Mokoi Masonry for several jobs at two homes in the same neighborhood:…read more1) 2-tier retaining rock wall, 2) underground 2-pipe drainage system around 3 sides of a house, 3) vinyl fence and lockable gates, 4) small jobs of patching a hole in a concrete wall and leveling an uneven sidewalk area. Here are my praises about hiring Mokoi at every step of the process: --Estimate and Proposal: Owner Viliami Mokoi came to inspect the work to be done, offered his recommendations from his years of experience, and put the specific descriptions of the work to be done in a written proposal (total of 4 proposals), including details I wanted to add, such as locks on the vinyl gates and installing a mailbox in the wall. I tried to obtain estimates from other contractors, but no one else was willing to do all the work such as removing roots and foliage and running underground pipes on all three sides of the house for the drainage system. --Superb Workmanship: I am still admiring the 2-tiered rock walls that are beautiful and solid (see photo). To install the underground drainage system, the crew had to use heavy equipment to excavate the jungle surrounding the house and haul in gravel to cover the pipes. The area is now clear and spacious with a hidden drainage system ready for heavy rain from hurricane and Kona low storms. Manoa rain and worker shortages caused delays in work, but the crew made up time by working hard and fast when they could. During the whole time, Vili texted to me about the progress of the work and promptly answered my questions. I am very pleased with the final products of the built walls and installed drainage system as well the patched concrete wall and leveled sidewalk. --Five Star Clean-Up: The crew hauled out all the piles of debris from the jobs and even swept up. Very much appreciated! Mahalo nui loa, Vili and your crew, for your great work product, great work ethic and great communication! I highly recommend Mokoi Masonry!
