We will definitely consider using Carter Platt for any future construction/remodeling needs as they arise.

We were fortunate enough to have met Rob of Accurate Tile, when our granite counter top order fell…read morethrough the cracks of a big box store. We drove into his business and he was busy with another customer, he took my number and said he would call me back. In an hour, he called me back and asked me all about what I was looking to have done. His courtesy, professionalism and sense of urgency impressed us greatly. He personally did the template and coordinated the pick up of the granite from Hawaii Ceramic, who also spoke very highly of Rob and his company. When it came to the install, his crew, with Rob, came to my house and treated our home as if it were their own. His crew was very professional and courtious, all of his guys showed great workmanship and were very meticulous in the installation process. We were so impressed, we hired Rob and his company to install our master bathroom shower and granite vanity top as well. I will post pictures on his website, of both the kitchen and bathroom work they did. We would highly recomend Accurate Tile and Marble to any one in need of granite or tile work done on Maui. Truly a 5 Star experience!

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!

We worked with Ron from Aaron's Contracting to completely remodel our 1-bedroom condo in Kihei, and…read morethe experience was great. Despite being off-island, the entire process went smoothly. 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 We gutted and remodeled the kitchen and bathroom, installed new flooring, re-wired the electrical, removed the outdated ceiling, installed a new split-system AC and painted the whole condo.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!

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.

We are absolutely in love with the finished result. It was very easy to make selections and communicate directly with Josh using their app, and Shelby was an angel in helping us find specific light fixtures and mirrors for our bathroom. The team was on time every single day and they were very professional. We have a dog who is still a bit of a puppy and they were so great with her craziness, too. The end result far surpassed anything I expected, and there were so many finishing touches that really give each room a WOW factor. We will be using Landry Construction again next year to redo our floors and we have a few other projects in mind, too. They definitely have gained a life-time client!
