We hired this company to renovate one bathroom with two vanities, as well as our kitchen. The kitchen renovation was very reasonably priced. It may be because we also ordered the bathroom renovation, but either way, the value was excellent. Our kitchen was transformed into a modern and much more spacious space. The renovation contractors who worked on our project were not very fluent in English, but they were extremely considerate, communicated patiently through gestures, and never showed any frustration. The company as a whole has a warm and thoughtful culture, and everyone we interacted with was genuinely kind. Overall, this is a company I would highly recommend. read more

Fantastic people to work with and have used them since April 2021, after an unpleasant experience with another contractor, to March 2023. As my parents were in the way upper 80s, we needed to plan ahead and renovate to make the home elderly friendly. Grab bars everywhere, unobstructed walk-in showers, bathroom and bedroom doors wheelchair compliant and turn the family room into a downstairs bedroom. Maikai Cabinets helped us to keep the cost down and yet have quality materials, craftsmanship, and customer service. We're happy that the house is fully upgraded but sad we won't be working with Makai Cabinets for another 20-years to refresh the home. We wish you all the best and success and we will continue to recommend you to our family and friends. Thanks for the wonderful experience. We will be stopping by the showroom every now and then to checkout the new stuff. read more

Initially everything was great, but since we had this remodel done, the shoddy workmanship has become evident. Most obvious is the grouting not being done well or cleanly. Something I just noticed is the panel from the floor to the bottom of the cabinet is just some random piece. There's a massive gap which you would only be able to see if your head was on the ground looking for something. Like something that fell and seemingly disappeared into thin air. I bet money it bounced into that gap and is now behind the panel. read more

Good quality for cabinets at an affordable price. They use plywood versus pressed wood (used by most of their competitors). EJ was very helpful! Due to scheduling constraints, we wanted the cabinets ASAP. EJ was able to have the cabinets ready for pickup within two business days. Mahalo! read more

My contractor sourced the shower glass door from Maika'i Cabinet & Stone Building Supply.

Maika'i Cabinet & Stone - Rust at track - General Contractors Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Went there to look over our options for flooring, cabinets, showers and granite tops. Since it was a Sunday it was slow and there were only two associates to help clients. But surprisingly enough there were a few other people besides us when they first opened. We were helped by Scott. He was very helpful and easy to deal with. He knew his products and tried to be accommodating. Things looked nice and new, they have only been in their location since November. Because of the pandemic supplies are low in many stores. A friend ordered cabinets from another store in May and has to wait till August for delivery. The same holds true here, not all items in their show room is available for delivery right away, dr[ends on your selection. read more

My general contractor purchased a cabinet and stone countertop, from them, when time to pick up the stone material, they open 8-9 am. only there is no men working in their warehouse after that, You need to work with their own time, not like these other supplier they open 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. read more

Maika'i installed damaged/ defective floor tiles in both my bathrooms and tried to say the scratches were part of the "design" of the tiles. One bathroom had 18 scratches and the other had 14. The scratches are between 3-5 inches in length and are very noticeable on the polished surface. First they tried to say it wasn't noticeable then they said it was part of the design. They will not replace it or refund me enough so I can hire another contractor to replace it. The work supervisor Jun sent me pictures of another customers shower walls that had the same scratched tiles with red arrows pointing out the scratches and said it was "not noticeable unless you looked at it at an angle." This means they are installing defective/ damaged material in other customers homes too. I saved many years to afford this remodel and I am devastated by their poor work and materials. They also did a bad job of grout on the shower floors and bathroom floors and when I asked why the pipes they installed for my tub to walk in shower conversion were off center they said they always do it that way. If they had told me they planned to install the pipes off center before they did it I would have hired a different company. Communication is very poor with this company. None of the workers on site speak English and their "supervisor" is rarely there so the workers are left on their own and they have poor judgement and little common sense. The owner Q never answers e mails or text messages when you have concerns and the supervisor Jun tries to charge you extra to fix problems they caused that should have just been done right the first time. They were supposed to install shower doors I bought from Home Depot but on their first attempt the doors were askew and not aligning parallel to the shower walls and they only glued the door jams on instead of following the instruction manual and using the provided wall anchors and screws that came with the kit. Then they threw away the box. I sent them a video from Home Depot showing them how to do it. The supervisor Jun assured me that he and the workers had watched the video and would do it correctly with screws the next day. The next day I called Jun and he said he was there when they put the screws in. I told him that the door jams peeled off the walls because once again they only used glue and no screws. I had to hire a different contractor to put in the doors even though in our signed contract Maika'i was supposed to provide the labor to install the doors and I paid them to do it. The owner Q said that it wasn't necessary to follow the instruction manual for installing the doors because his office worker who used to work at Home Depot said it wasn't necessary. I would guess that this worker has never installed a Delta Contemporary sliding shower door in their life. They put so much grout on the shower floor it obscured the floor tiles and you couldn't pry out the shower drain if you had a clog that needed to be snaked. Then they chipped the tile when the chiseled off the excess grout off the drain cap. Other red flags to watch out for: they want most of the money upfront or halfway through with only 5% due at completion of work. This gives them little incentive to finish in a timely manner or do a good job the way a 50% at completion would. They wanted me to buy flooring from their store for them to install but it only had a 10 year warranty. I told them my brother's flooring from Bougainville had a lifetime warranty for residential use and Jun said they could make theirs a lifetime warranty because they worked closely with the manufacturer in China. I needed popcorn ceiling that had asbestos in it removed. Although the contract I signed with them said if the ceiling had asbestos it would have to be professionally abated, Jun told me they could remove it even though it had asbestos and "we do it all the time." I told him his workers didn't have protection from breathing it in and I didn't want them getting mesothelioma. I also didn't want me or my family to get mesothelioma from their contaminating the whole house and the abatement company said it is illegal to be dumping that stuff in regular trash. I could go on but this is getting pretty long. My advice to you would be to know they are not accredited with the Better Business Bureau but you can still file a complaint against them with the BBB and the BBB will work to mediate for you, you can file a complaint with the Hawaii state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, but most importantly do not hire this company! Save yourself the stress and sleepless nights. They are cheaper than most other companies but there is a reason for that. Sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you get even less than you paid for... read more

We found Maikai through our real estate agent (whom I found through yelp!). We quickly contacted and met up with them to get an estimate for our total 3-bedroom condo renovation. Their quote was not only cheaper than the other companies but also they were much easier to communicate and work with. They are very flexible with requests, customizations, and allowing us to find some of our own materials to integrate it into their work. David and Q were the point men on the project and made it very clear what was happening and what to expect. They gutted and rebuilt the entire 1200 sq ft condo in less than a month! This included plumbing, electricity, flooring, reconfiguring the kitchen, and a/c. They scraped the popcorn ceiling and had to work with our difficult cement walls and ceiling. They also came back and did our jalousie windows which made a huge difference in comfort. They have a lot of workers on their team including some with amazing skills like their tile guy. Just look at my bathrooms. We were so in love with the final products and he managed to make it happen after looking at our Pinterest photos and vague descriptions. We are thrilled with their work and recommend them to anyone looking to renovate. We are now working with them to get our new house completely built from the ground up. We are super excited! Btw they just opened a new show room in Aiea (near Home Depot). It's quite beautiful and has a lot of wonderful options that make deciding details much easier. It's worth stopping by to take a look. read more

we have a peculiar bathroom sink situation which was all done by the previous owner. So we had to just install a cabinet under the sink as it is fully uncovered. We checked at home depot, lowes and they couldnt help us as it had to be custom made and it would be more than $1000 plus a long wait. So we were to hoping to get more customization options at Mai'kai as its local and someone recommended it to us. They were helpful in cutting the planks etc but it still doesnt fit in our bathroom.. we still have a long way to go. They werent helping in giving us ideas on how we could do it. As a cabinet experts they could've done it. Communication was also challenging. Now we regret buying the cabinet at Maikai because it is gonna be a total waste. read more

Maika'i is a great company to have our countertops done. They were true to their word , meaning when they say Ill call you , they call. Timing was everything for me on this job.

Granted this wont happen in every situation but it happened in my and WOW!! The have an outstanding price point very competitive and the quality of the work was awesome.

My wife and I recently hired Maika'i to renovate our townhome. Our overall experience was very positive, we received estimates from 8 contractors and while they were not the cheapest they were competitive with other quotes we received (we also received the "we don't want your job but if your dumb enough to pay us this we will do it") We worked with May who was always available to answer any questions we had along the way, we had some of our own materials and used some of theirs as well. The project was completed in a timely manner with very few hiccups (of course small problems came up but it was never an issue). With any project always check for quality . Overall quality was excellent there were a few things here and there, but Makai'i and their workers always took care of it right away. As other had mentioned their can be a language barrier but honestly it was never an issue between utilizing May and google translate communication was never an issue (and we lived in the house during renovations). The two main workers were amazing and any subcontractors that came were equally as professional. I would use them again and would recommend any one considering renovations to call for an estimate. Mahalo May and all the Makai'i workers. read more

All I can say is that Scott and his crew were absolutely phenomenal. He originally gave me a quote which was a decent price but included way more extras than all the other quotes, so I was willing to pay it. Scott made sure I had requested other quotes before making a final decision, and once I called to tell him that I had received the other quotes, he let me know that he spoke with his boss while I was getting other quotes, and before I could tell him the quotes were, he updated his which ended up being significantly better priced than all other quotes and included everything from the original quote. On to the job, they came right on time, and knocked out the demo in just a few hours. The job ended up taking an extra half day than planned but I can easily blame the company that had done work in here before, making Scott and his crew do a lot of extra stuff, which again, was awesome. Overall, floors look amazing, price was incredible, and the entire process was extremely easy. read more

We shopped around for flooring and right before getting the keys to our new home, my husband came across Maika'i flooring! The pricing was unbelievable. Almost too good to be true. I can vouch for this company and recommend their services. Scott, Rudy, & Brian were super cool to work with. Accommodating, efficient and their work is 5 star value. We had originally hired them to do our flooring. After talking with Scott my husband was able to hire their painters and electrician and plumber as well. Did laminate wood flooring, recessed lighting, and best of all my favorite part of the renovation was the interior painting. read more

I had a complete remodel of kitchen cabinets, countertop and flooring which extended into bathroom/laundry room. Worked with JJ and her team. JJ was there for me each morning explaining work to be done that day. She checked in at the end of each day making sure I had no complaints then preparing me for next day. Each team worked efficiently and were very experienced in their particular specialty. We particularly liked Yellow who did our flooring and did cabinets. He was the bomb. Each worker was very hard working and very accommodating to our questions or needs. Price was incredibly hard to beat. Highly recommend this company!! Thank you JJ and company. read more

All inclusive package for kitchen remodel. You can choose your countertop's, flooring, sink, cabinets, and hardware. You supply your own personal touches, fixtures, lighting etc... I worked with Scott Kuwahara and he was great during the entire process. And the two workers doing the installation were awesome. I can't say enough nice things about them. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The only time I saw them take a break was for lunch. They made sure everything was cleaned up after they finished each day. They literally finished the renovation in less than two weeks. The only holdup was waiting for the appliances to arrive, which finally happened this morning after waiting for over a month. The guys arrived just as the appliances did. They installed the microwave and even leveled the stove after the delivery guys installed it as they didn't make it even with the countertops. Another thing they didn't have to do but they wanted the kitchen to be perfect for me. I can assure you if I have another renovation project they will be the first ones I call. read more

Imagine that you bought a home from out of state, had 10 days to move in, but wanted to refresh your new home. Maikai'i delivered on all fronts. They immediately figured out exactly what I needed and then some. New floors, paint, and even a minor renovation. If you want an honest, reliable, and high quality AND VALUE contractor, Maika'i is it. The entire staff from sales to contractors were incredibly professional and communicated regularly. The best part is that they bill as they progress with their work, just to make sure they're doing the job right. I plan to use them for all my future contractor needs! Highly recommend! read more

I rarely post review on Yelp, but this company deserves one! Maika'i Cabinet & Stone did an excellent job on our house. The job entailed our flooring, wall repair, kitchen, bathroom & small laundry room. We got quotes from several contractors, & we made the right decision picking Maika'i Cabinet & Stone. They made renovation process go as smoothly as possible. We worked closely with Jiaxin ("Jiajia") as our project manager. She is AWESOME & has a positive "can-do" attitude! She communicated with me day & night. The job took about a month, but I hardly missed days of work. She facetimed me on minor issues to show me, so I can decide on what to do. She made necessary suggestions on how to fix issue or how to make it work. She texted me every night to confirm workers & scope of work for the following day. Workers are polite, arrived on time, cleaned up after work. Jiang, one of the workers/carpenter, is great! He is skillful & meticulous with his work and knows his trade. Plumbing & Electrical work are the major work that we made sure we're home when the plumber & electrician were working. They have multiple teams of plumbers & electricians, which naturally, one team is better than others. That's when you have to point out to your PM which team you'd like to work more with. Overall, our renovation turned out exactly how I pictured it in my head or even BETTER! Flooring - We replaced our flooring in the kitchen, dining & living room from carpet, tiles & hardwood to luxury vinyl flooring. Hiccup: While I was inspecting the floor, there's a slight unleveled area. I told them it's not a big deal because that's where the kitchen island is gonna be. To my surprise, the following day, they ripped the area and re-did the flooring to correct it. Bonus points in my book! Wall repair - We decided to get rid of the side door and move our window to get more cabinet space area. They made sure the wall got done in one day, so we wouldn't have a big hole in our house overnight. Bathroom - We upgraded everything, but no layout changes. Hiccup: when they ripped the shower tiles, the wood/wall behind the tiles had water damage (as we feared), & the wood was soft, not strong enough to hold the new tiles. I was so worried about the additional repair cost. Mr. Q came by the house to assess the damage & gave us a very reasonable cost, & got it fixed the same day. Kitchen & Laundry room - We had a 1960's style kitchen. We got rid of the wall separating our dining room & kitchen, & made an entrance from kitchen to our laundry room. It's the biggest transformation we made. Jiajia was very patient with me changing the layout & the placing of cabinets, appliances. She revised the drawing countless times to accommodate all my kitchen wishlist. They custom-made some cabinets to make them work with our existing irregular measurements in our house. Our kitchen turned out beautifully! I absolutely LOVE everything about our home project. We'll definitely hire them again on our next projects. Thank you Maika'i Cabinet & Stone! (I know this is a very long review, but I wanted to point some details since I appreciate those myself when I'm reading reviews especially when the service is going to cost a lot of $$$. ) read more

We desperately needed to renovate our kitchen cabinets as they were the original from 30+ years ago. Scott was one of the first ones to respond to my quote request on Yelp. Scott was very friendly and easy going. We quickly set up a meeting at the show room and the following week he came to our place for a free estimate. We waited about two months for our materials to be shipped which was fine since we didn't have to rush this project. During the time we waited for the materials, Scott did call or text us with updates. Finally it was project day- we started on Monday and finished on Friday. Scott was always here to manage the workers and make sure that everything was going in the right direction. We had a little hiccup with one of our electrical wire, but was quickly managed and fixed. The process was so smooth, efficient, and we can't get over how beautiful our kitchen is. It is literally one of our favorite spots in our home. Thank you so much! read more

As good as it gets! Scott and the crew of Maika'i Flooring are incredible. From first contact, Scott was professional and knowledgeable. He was able to get on site within 24 hours of our call and a quote the same day. We had gotten several other quotes from other companies who said the job would take 4 days and at a higher cost. Scott's crew came in and knocked it all out in absolute perfection in one day. Their attention to detail and care about their finished product is phenomenal. These guys care to do a good job and at the right price. Thanks Scott and the crew! Looking forward to many more jobs with you guys! read more

Very pleased with the quality of materials and workmanship by Maikai Cabinet and Stone. Enter their brightly lit showroom and you will be impressed by its cleanliness and friendly customer staff. As important was the customer service provided by Jiaxin He "Jiejie". She was great at coming to my home to review what was needed and came up with several suggestions and price offerings. She was always on the project site to make sure that the counter installers, plumbers and electricians all had a clear understanding of what to do per my request.

My 17 year old Trex deck was all rotted out. I saw Maika'i Flooring on my way to Costco Iwilei and discovered they do decks. Scott came out to give me a free estimate the day I called him, a Friday. He had me a very reasonable estimate that afternoon, for a complete demo and rebuild. His crew started Monday and were pretty much finished in 4 days of work, including painting (I couldn't believe how well they matched the paint color!) They worked hard to get the job done quickly but with good quality and workmanship. These guys definitely are all business, no goofing off like I've seen some other contractors, looking at their phones every 30 minutes. I would highly recommend Maika'i. Scott is super responsive and he will make sure all your concerns are addressed. read more
