Stephen the owner came to our home for the structural beam repair and bathroom upgrade. He is very professional and very knowledgeable. We got his estimates but still haven't done anything yet due to other issues. Will hire them in the future. Highly recommended! read more

We contacted several contractors for our master bathroom renovation for my elderly mom, but many of them did not get back to us in a timely manner... Spencer, from Kurihara Contracting, was different. He got back to us and quickly and scheduled a visit. Upon meeting him, we felt very at ease and comfortable. He was very knowledgable and seemed to be a straight shooter (I wanted some storage over the toilet and he straight up told me that would be weird because it would block the bathroom window). After listening to what we were thinking, he came up with a plan and gave us an estimate. We didn't get any renderings (not sure if bathroom renovations get those?) but we knew he knew what he was doing, so it wasn't really an issue - Mom and I were trusting he and his team's professionalism and it worked! Did we have any idea of the cost of a bathroom renovation? No. Was it more than I imagined it to be? Honestly, yes. But after the job was done, did I think it was worth it? ABSOLUTELY YES. The job Kurihara Contracting did with our master bathroom was AWESOME. And I think with this company, you get what you pay for - The professionalism, consideration, final product...chef's kiss! Our bathroom looks so much larger and brighter! We just love it. We were also able to upgrade to a toilet we wanted (something really important to my mom ;D). Thank you, Spencer and Crew for our bathroom transformation! My hope is that we save up money to do more renovations and we can use your services! Hopefully by that time, we won't have to deal with government imposed tariffs on imported materials! read more

From the initial consultation to project completion there was excellent communication and all interactions were very professional. The workers were knowledgeable, personable and did qualify work. They maintained a safe and clean job site. The pricing was fair and honest. I highly recommend Kurihara Contracting. Thanks again. Steve read more

We are repeat customers for many services over the years, including roofing, building our stairs, and painting our house. The most recent job was re-roofing, and the team was fast, efficient, on-time, courteous, and they cleaned up after themselves. HIGHLY recommend their services for any and all home improvement projects!!! read more

Spencer from Kurihara Contracting was the first person to respond back to me when I started looking for contractors to remodel my kitchen back in May. He was very friendly over the phone and when he came over in person, he had a lot of great ideas to maximize the limited space of our kitchen. Once I got all of our quotes and designs in from different companies, all the prices were about the same, but we ultimately chose Kurihara Contracting because we liked the design, easy communication, and the timeline to complete the project. I had a LOT of questions regarding materials (I.e. flooring, lighting, backsplash) and Spencer was always patient and willing to answer my questions, which I really appreciated. All the workers were on time and diligent. I definitely recommend. read more

Look no further! Mr. Kurihara has been a pleasure to work with. He was able to work within my budget and still delivered high quality products and beautiful craftsmanship. His team was trustworthy and impressively respectful... Words will never be able to express my appreciation for the work he and his crew completed. Honorable * Trustworthy * Respectful. I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Mr. Kurihara! read more

Kurihara Contracting never disappoints! We've hired Spencer for many different jobs small and large including updating our home to get it market ready. His estimates are very fair and the workmanship is top notch. He takes the time to listen and walk through what you're looking to do and provides thoughts and suggestions based on his professional expertise that works in your best interest, budget and timeframe. read more

If you can imagine it, they can build it. We live in Kahalu'u, where pressboard furniture lasts about 7 minutes due to the humidity. I needed shelving in my house and wanted to wall mount my TV. I found something I liked, showed it to Spencer and the team, and they got to work. Dylan and Nikko got to work. They were quick and efficient. And even put up with my very friendly (nosy) dog. I LOVE LOVE my results! Can't recommend this team enough! read more

OMG Kuihara Contractors is amazing!!! My flooring that they installed is wonderful! Spencer and Pono was so thorough during the estimate. And once the material arrived and it was time to get started...bam! They got to work! And they were flexible with my work schedule. (It did help that I had 5 days off in a row). The crew was so amazing and hard working. I appreciated their patience with me as I clarified the plans for the day. Pono was very communicable, helpful and informative with the day to day plans. He even let me know when he was delayed when going to the dump and finding a long line. I loved that they all respected my space and belongings. They were efficient with disposing utilized/materials to the dump daily and leaving me with a walkway at all times. And they have good taste in music (Mahalo John for the tunes). Kyle is a ninja worker! 5 sec to reinstall my doors and knock out my last minute changes like a champ. John was nonstop movement and a man with a big saw! I couldn't have asked for a better crew to do my home renovations. Thank you Spencer, Pono, Kyle, John and the swift magic carpet man for your professionalism, kindness, and expertise in the quality work you offer. read more

I live in Las Vegas and flipped a house in HI. We needed excellent work in a very timely manner. That's exactly what Spencer provided! He painted our house inside & out, flooring throughout and did the kitchen cabinets & countertops. This house is 34 years old and the needed finesse was given. Prices were fair, my questions were answered, the work professional with a lot of fun jokes along the way. I would use him again and strongly recommend! read more

Spencer was actually GREAT. It was my misunderstanding that what I needed, he had difficulty with getting them as these reviews should NOT BE DONE as YELP are for ones that cries being why it's called YELP. Kurihara Contracting is a Fine Contracting firm no doubt! read more

I never leave any reviews, but I needed to let all of you know how impressed I was with Kurihara contracting. Spencer and his crew did such an excellent job painting my house. Even my neighbor came and told me how impressed he was with their work... and that they came across the street to let him know they would be painting and if he wanted them to cover his car.. excellent service.. read more

Based upon all the positive reviews, I made an appointment to schedule an estimate to have renovation work done on my home. Spencer K came over and looked over my request and provided sources for ideas then said he would get back to me with an estimate. A few weeks passed with no estimate. In the meantime, I called and asked if I could get the exterior of the house painted first. Spencer agreed, gave me a quote, I selected my colors, and work began shortly after. Fixing some problem areas first, I was happy with the work. Very neat. Next, a guy came out to do the power washing of the house. Everything seemed to be going as planned until the power washing was done. I started to notice discolorations in my carport area and driveway (I have colored concrete impression driveway.) When I pointed it out, I was told it must be dirt since it was a reddish-brown color. So what good is the power washing if it can't get dirt out? It wasn't until the next morning that I saw the extent of the damage that the power wash did when the driveway was dry. The smooth "river rock" surface was gone and a dull gray rough surface appeared. I called Spencer back and he came out with the guy who did the power washing. They didn't have much to say except that it must be exposure to the elements. Yes, that can have an effect but how do you explain the smooth surface "spots" that dot the driveway? Also, my entry gate has Big Rock manufactured stepping stones which was also stripped of its surface and the power washing loosened some paved river rocks. Spencer "remedied" the situation by cement caulking the river rock and then applying a "wet look" sealant over the entire driveway. It was a nice gesture but now I have a very dull, rough surface that looks wet only on some of the areas that managed to not lose their surface and the entry gate area looks horrible. Very unhappy so one star deducted. On the day of painting, a large crew came out and got to work right away with the prep work. Good to see that. The painting was done in a day and from what I could see, it looked really nice. The next day, I was able to see everything in the morning light. There were some spots that were missed and areas where paint got onto the windows. Spencer sent out a guy to do the touch-ups which was great. Unfortunately, I later discovered paint on a second floor window that is hard to get to. There was also a lot of paint that dripped onto the graveled areas and paint overspray on the window frames so another star deducted. To be fair, Spencer does have the qualities of a good contractor by being there at the start of the job, observing the crew, and making sure that the work was completed as agreed to. I am only basing this review on my experience. read more

The absolute best in the game. We remolded our whole interior including a new kitchen, living room, lighting, dry wall, and all new flooring. This included demo, planning, and finishes. They are a small team, which enables you to speak directly to Spencer Kurihara, the owner. You will also get to know the staff, who are very trustworthy. The kitchen took a lot of planning and he worked with us to make it perfect. He had a kitchen designing specialist come out and made a drawing to our specifications. They are also very reasonably priced and will not rip you off. He will work with you on whatever design you want. We have many other interior and exterior renovation projects planned in the future and I can guarantee I will be calling Kurihara. If you don't trust this review, the pics will speak for themselves. read more

I reached out to Spencer about a month ago and have had an AMAZING experience so far. I am telling all of my homeowner friends about him because I simply cannot believe how lucky I was to finally find a good contractor. He has literally saved me from a mental breakdown. We have had terrible experiences with contractors in the past so we started to DIY projects. Over several months we would slowly complete things on nights/weekends, at a calm pace that we could manage. That was going well until we unexpectedly had to move quickly (moving out of state for job) and we were in the middle of several projects. There was no way we would be able to finish. We reached out to so many contractors, handymen, anyone who would answer a Yelp request and anyone that a friend/acquaintance knew. Some people just ghosted us, some people gave exhorbitant quotes, some suggested patch jobs instead of actually fixing the problem, so many different issues. It was a nightmare Enter Spencer. He does a great job communicating. I cannot stress this enough! He responds quickly, clearly, and thoroughly. He is easy to talk to. He uses text, email, calls, and meets in person. He has a good personality too and I feel like a friend is taking care of me/my home. He was also so accomodating to my schedule, which I really appreciated. I am a woman and not particularly strong/intimidating, and I felt very comfortable with him and each of his people in my home. Since we had several half-finished projects, I got to meet many different members of his team. Flooring, carpentry, painters, plumber, etc. I have only good things to say about them, but I want to give credit to the few who I think were absolutely exceptional at their work: Edison-- fabricated and installed a beautiful corian countertop! I have never installed a countertop but even I could notice and appreciate his attention to detail. I knew that I needed a countertop that is longer than corian slabs come in, so there would have to be a seem somewhere. Edison did such a smart design that you cannot even see it! He did all these little things that really elevated the entire kitchen. With the extra corian pieces he made a little ledge for my kitchen window and even some trivets for serving bowls. Absolutely outstanding in every way! I was watching him like a hawk because I was so intrigued by everything he did. It was fascinating to see his craftsmanship. He was so kind to answering my questions the whole time. I cannot say enough good things about him. As a DIY-er, I learn whenever I can, and I learned so much from watching Edison. Dylan-- several jobs, but what really stood out was how exceptionally good he patched drywall. He removed and replaced a large section of damaged drywall. I have never seen such a seamless patch job, matching the texture of the surrounding area. I still have a few more things to wrap up with Spencer, but I wanted to share this while I can still remember details. Will update with more and include pictures, because I honestly cannot say enough good about this company. THANK YOU SO MUCH SPENCER!!! read more

Spencer is very responsive to requests and needs. We, unfortunately, didn't go with them as our plans changed, but Spencer was very helpful and always looked out for our interests! If I have a need for a general contractor, this is a company I would go to. Unfortunately, our renovation took a turn into many small jobs which became MY job. Highly recommend considering Kurihara Contracting for an estimate. Mahalo and aloha to Spencer. read more

After renovating the inside of my house it didn't feel finished. I needed to complete the outside.... I figured a fresh new coat of paint would do the job.

They were thorough, neat and completed the job in the timeline given. I am so pleased the house is now complete and I would highly recommend them for your home improvements!!! read more

We recently wanted to update our flooring from carpet to vinyl especially since we have three dogs in the house. Spencer sent us a quote on the same day I called and finished the job before the week was over. The process was simple and stress free. Couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. Spencer and his team were professional, efficient, and did great work. I would definitely recommend him to any friends and family looking to make some updates on their home. read more

Great work by Kurihara Contracting. I just had Spencer and his team at our home to extend our lanai slab. The process could not have gone any better - when I asked for an estimate he was timely and within a week we agreed on scope pricing and start date. The team showed up on a Thursday to prepare the area and set form work. The following day, Friday, I had a completed slab by noon. We couldn't be happier with the new and extended lanai, the quality work and customer service. Everyone that came to our home to work on this project was great. As someone who deals with contractors on a daily basis in my profession, I've worked with countless contractors in my 20 plus years and had a broad share of experiences. KC earns high praise for the quality of work they delivered and the care they showed for our home, neighbors, etc... Wish I had done this work sooner but the timing was right now and so was the contractor!! Big Mahalo to Spencer and his team, I will not hesitate to call them again. Highly recommend! read more
