    Unbelievable service! Replied quickly to my query. Arranged the day and time for the service quickly. Arrived early on the scheduled day. Was meticulous and thorough in his work. Highly recommend Homer!

    Unfinished repaired wall & the taped & refinished orange peel wall. We just requested that & plan to paint ourselves.

    I am so happy to have found Island Coating to help me with my drywall taping & finishing! Homer was quick to reply to my inquiries, gave me a quote & got the job done in no time! They are quick to respond & show up on time or even a little prior to the promised schedule. He and Kevin worked so fast & cleaned up after themselves. I appreciate that I wasn't made to feel that my job was too small or unimportant. I will definitely tell my family & friends & would use them for any projects in the future.

    Second time we've used Homer and his crew for a major paint job. They did an excellent job on exterior paint when we were prepping to sell our place in Ahuimanu. They just finished the interior of our 'new' place in Mililani and it looks great! They're on time, do the prep work as it should be done, and finished on schedule. We highly recommend them.

    I can't thank Island Coating enough for coming through when I was in a real pickle! They responded urgently, worked through the weekend, and installed the wallpaper beautifully. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to getting the job done on short notice were truly impressive. I highly appreciate their hard work and craftsmanship--so much so that I already have another project in the pipeline and fully plan to reach out again! Highly recommend!

    Homer and his 3 awesome Painters were very efficient from the start, from Pressure wash to prep to painting my house, He also did a beautiful job on my decking. His crew is very friendly, neat in every thing they did through the whole process. I was so impressed, I bought them all lunch 3 different occasions. I just can't get over the way they did there cuts on the trims from 4 different colors, very clean. I had 4 different estimates, he was the best price and in his quality of work. I recommend Island coating, number 1 in my book Thank You Homer and the crew

    Quality service at a fair value. Homer did a great job. I'll hire him again for any other future paint jobs. Thanks again!

    Homer gave us a quote of $450 and knowing he had good reviews on Yelp I was comfortable saying yes.

    I had a rather difficult job that I did not want to do myself. It involved a very small attic space…read moreabove the garage that was not insulated when the house was built. Because we had electrical conduit installed in the attic space for our photovoltaic panels and battery back up, we wanted to have it as cool as possible. I called Harry Oneha, owner of HDrywall to ask if he would be able to do the installation. He came out the day I called and gave me a very reasonable quote. He then installed the insulation within a couple of weeks. The installers were meticulous, covering the floors and walls with plastic. They used planks to ensure no damage to the ceilings of the garage. The height of the attic space went from less than 3 feet at the peak of the attic to zero where the rafters came down the ceiling joists. Despite that, they were able to get insulation into the rafters in all areas. Better yet, even though the attic was a very hot and confined space, the installers did not complain at all... they were actually very pleasant and happy. When they finished in the attic, they cleaned the garage completely and left "not a trace of debris". Generally, when I have a job done, I need to hire another company to fix and clean up after them... but not with Harry's crew! They were amazing. I am a rather OCD person, and if workers can get a good rating from me, that means a WHOLE lot! KUDOS and sincere thanks to HDrywall. I'd have them back to do work for me in a heartbeat!

H Drywall replaced rotted wood and restructured the supports. They also installed new wood floor on the deck, rebuilt the steps and repainted the whole deck and stairs with top quality primer and topcoat. Their work was top-notch! The carpentry was careful and done well, involving us in every decision. Talking to the carpenter was easy, and he was very knowledgeable and skilled. So also with the painter. They really wanted to do a quality job! All workers were thoughtful, careful and proud of the quality of their work. We highly recommend them!

While Brian did come out to sand out all the bubbles, it actually made things worse as I have areas of raw wood now. I've had to hire another contractor and will weigh my options as far as recovering compensation for a job that wasn't done right.

    UPDATE (June 8, 2026): We have received neither payment nor communication from Brian…read more UPDATE (May 2026): We obtained a court judgment in our favor in late April. Brian told us he currently did not have the money, would be traveling in Europe for several weeks, but would "guarantee to pay at latest by June 5th." We will update this review accordingly. ORIGINAL REVIEW (April 2026): Using Brian's Painting was a very disappointing and costly experience that left us with an unfinished home and significant financial loss. We hired Brian for a $10,000 exterior painting project. After collecting $6,000, he completed only about 10% of the work, then abandoned the project and stopped communicating. Brian requested a 40% deposit ($4,000) and later an additional 20% ($2,000) after a short prep stage that took about eight hours. After receiving the $6,000, he returned only twice for brief visits over several weeks, then dropped the job, leaving the house unfinished. (See attached photos.) We attempted to resolve the matter in good faith. We agreed he could keep the $2,000 even though several licensed painters we consulted estimated that only about 10% ($1,000) of the work had been completed by Brian. He eventually agreed to refund the $4,000 deposit, but after multiple deadline extensions has only returned $1,300 and has now stopped communicating altogether. We are now pursuing recovery through court and filing a complaint with the Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO), which takes enforcement action against unlicensed contractors operating illegally in Hawaii. We also had prior issues with a smaller job he completed in 2023, including use of lower-grade paint than what we paid for and paint splatter left on appliances. Despite this, we gave him another opportunity when he repeatedly requested the exterior project. We greatly regret that decision now. Bottom line: We strongly recommend homeowners to look elsewhere.
