I've paid more than $46,000 to Alge Group and this is what I get…read more We needed to remodel our home. We have found this company on Yelp and trusted the positive reviews they had. We also fell in love with the pictures they 3D-modeled and put on their webpage. When we met the owner Jorge Gebrael, he sounded like a nice person, who was always open to answer any questions. Didn't work that well after we paid all the money though. It seems like he disappeared, at least exclusively to me, our contractor and our assistant. Jorge delegated this project to Amanda Sellers, a stylish designer who has skills of finding interesting materials that match with each other. She was either fired from the company, or left on her own right after we paid all the money. Now neither Jorge, nor Amanda wants to answer even such simple questions as "which paint did you plan to use here on this column?" What you can expect from Alge group: 1) EXPECTATION vs REALITY For instance, see the outdoor shower attached: expectation vs reality. The contractor claims ALGE's representative approved this version when they decided to cut some costs on our project. Nobody asked me if I agree with such a change though. I would never agree with making the new outdoor shower interior walls the same as the old exterior walls of the house. Just look at these ugly looking vertical wooden panels. Why not just make them plain white without wooden panels and cover with a waterproof paint? At least you could ask the client! 2) WASTE OF CLIENT'S MONEY * Another thing is our master bathroom. Amanda planned there huge LED mirrors, which eventually didn't match the elevation of the house and now these $5000 worth mirrors are just a junk in contractor's storage, because there's no place to put them, and it's too late to return them. * Both Jorge and Amanda told me they are to make it budget friendly and a lot of stuff can be bought cheap. For instance, when I asked Amanda how much can potentially cost all the finish materials that they plan purchasing, she said on the phone it can cost about $50,000. It's affordable. In reality: more than $250,000. * Another example of not budget-friendliness: we had brand new cabinets in the house installed by the previous owner, as well as a dishwasher, microwave, exhaust and range. They were only 1 year old. Instead of actively proposing to reuse them, Amanda proposed completely different design and said it's ok to donate all these belongings. When we figured out the new cabinets would cost us $90,000 to make while we have the new ones in storage, I insisted on reusing them and luckily the contractor hasn't managed to "donate" them to anyone yet. These cabinets look just perfect in our kitchen and we saved huge money because we didn't listen to ALGE Group. 3) IRRESPONSIBLE. IGNORANT For instance, ALGE group picked up and ordered night stands for us. One of them came with a missing part. The contractor informed them about it. They could replace it for free using wayfair's 30 day free return policy. Instead, they didn't do a thing. Jorge just doesn't reply to our emails or phone calls. Any questions about project? Forget it. You pay them huge for a few pictures. You are buying digital illustrations only. Don't expect them to measure if it fits in your house. Just look at these curtains attached. They are 8in shorter than these sliding doors. 4) SAFETY RISKS Remember the story about the $5000 mirrors that don't fit in our new layout? Well, according to the contractor, ALGE group asked them to make all our huge ceilings in the master bathroom so short that I hit a lamp with my head every time I get out of the bath! And they never asked me if I want this? I would insist on keeping the high ceilings! I told them Many times I'm 6'1 tall! Many times. Literally every time we planned anything. Moreover, the lamp that I hit with my head is designed for the damp environment, not wet environment, which is a safety risk according to inspection. 5) ZERO STARS I would rate material selection abilities of Alge group 4/5. Budget friendliness - 0/5. Communication - 0/5. Responsibility - 0/5. Measuring - 0/5. Planning - 0/5. This is very annoying. I'm very disappointed in Alge Group!

Thanks for saving my condo!…read more Juan is prompt, friendly, and does great work. As a vacation rental property owner, I often need help with small maintenance jobs since I don't live on Maui. He gave me peace of mind on very short notice when others were either unavailable or thought the job was too small. Here's what happened. I was having a new AC system installed over 3 days, and since my lanai is tiny, I also had to have a glass company temporarily remove a window and sliding glass door. Neither had the supplies to cover the resulting giant hole in the wall overnight. So I quickly scrambled to find a handyman on Yelp, requesting several quotes. Juan didn't just email me back--he called in less than an hour. He immediately understood what I needed and had the openings covered with plywood the same day AND was kind enough to wait until the AC crew was finished for the day. I will definitely be calling him for future projects.

Got a call from guest staying in the Condo that the AC was not cold. called two handyman to…read morereplace old window AC that was 20+ year old at first, both said the earliest they can do the job was about a week later. couldn't wait that long because guest was letting me know that they might stay at a hotel for few days. So early next day I called several handyman and was able to talk to Juan and he did the job the same day. Great communication, Juan was able to run to Lowes to pick up a new window AC unit for the Condo that I pre-purchased online. Everything went smoothly from the time I called him till the time he finish the job. From the time I called him, it took less than one hour to get back to me. He got to Lowes to pick up the AC really quick and equally quick to the condo. The whole job took about 6 hours and he even took the old AC to the recycling center. Greatly recommended, and the next time I am in a jam, he will be the first for me to reach out to.

With the recent Kona long storms, our house suffered, inside and roof damage. We needed to find a…read moreroofer to replace our roof. We did a quick ChatGPT search of the best most-favored, highly-rated roofers on the Island and we chose Pro Roofers! Alex is the owner and was available to oversee all the work before, during and after. Due to our error, we did not know we had 2 remaining solar panels on the roof from the original build of the home. Sunrun removed 26 panels they installed, but we didn't know about those last two panels. Alex smoothly pivoted his team to work around the problem. Alex was always the voice of reason and conducted a fluid operation the entire time while never making us feel like a problem. He always had words of positivity, kindness and hope. Every single time I pulled up to the house the roofing team had a smile for us and were pleasant. Everyone in this company has a nose-to-the-grindstone mentality, and it was a pleasure to experience! Alex is a master of running a smooth, balanced operation....in the right place at the right time. He even suggested a fast fix with the two solar panels with one of his best electrician vendor companies. His referral company was there to expertly remove and replace those panels within 48hrs. This company was also as delightful as Alex's roofing company! Jessica, ( the voice of the office behind the roofing team in the field,) was equally as pleasant to deal with throughout the entire process. She was professional, called back quickly, had the answers I needed, and provided solutions that worked, all with a pleasantness and kindness that the situation called for. I was also very impressed with the care that they took in my yard during the process. They brought a large dumpster, which was emptied twice, and put large tarps around the yard to protect plants and the ground from the debris. Each evening they picked up all of the debris and the tarps, and even went around the property with a magnet looking for nails. Alex is solution-oriented, smart-working, and incredibly talented at moving his assets around to complete the job as efficiently as possible. There are a lot of things moving during a roofing process, and this man and his company worked like a well-oiled machine with high precision, communication and professionalism needed! We absolutely love our roof! Mahalo Alex for your dedication to your craft/company!
