We decided to break the work up in to 2 phases as the project had a natural stopping point and the unit is an active vacation rental in Kona Shores that we wanted to be available for several of our "regular" renters. Like other reviews have stated, we are extremely happy with the work Mike and his crew did for us. We give our full recommendation and will use him for our next project. To summarize some of the key points from our 2 experiences working with Mike, he is: - Highly organized and meticulous (provides very detailed timelines and itemized invoices. He also shares lots of pictures as work progresses) - A great communicator, who is responsive and timely (We've never had a contractor as responsive as Mike) - On time and budget - Does very high quality work - Brings good ideas when you hit unexpected challenges - Willing and happy to go the extra mile for you to see the job done right Please see the attached before and after photos of our project. They speak well for the quality of Mike and his crew's work! Mahalo Mike!

On budget and on time. How often do you hear that? We had heard that about Mike and his company…read morebefore we started with him, but when we heard that our project was ambitious, we were not sure it would be the case with us. It was. Mike and his crew were terrific. Mike was wonderful with communication, keeping us in the loop, sending photos of the project, and helping us select items for our job. He was also excellent in follow up on a few minor items. We did not have to track him down; he stayed up with us to make sure they were completed. We also found him to be a straight shooter. Mike and his crew renovated our kitchen, our living area floors and added a closet. He stayed consistent with the design of our house, and even found the person who installed some of the doors originally. The quality of the work was excellent. He was creative, made good choices and helped us navigate the process. It is often hard to differentiate one contractor from another. Hence, this review. Mike stood out in every way that mattered. We are very pleased with the result and the process. We highly recommend him.

To add a historical note to the reviews, Doug Schilling built our house at Kohala Ranch in 1996 and…read moredid a superb job. He already had a reputation for building quality homes on the Big Island at the time and in no way were we disappointed. From the beginning he gave us design and construction ideas that produced beauty, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. And lowered our anxiety. The house was built on time and Doug supervised the subcontractors and employees every step of the way. He is totally reliable, trustworthy and knows his profession thoroughly. My wife and I were so pleased with our home that I asked Doug to build my office at in Kamuela which remains one of the nicest and most solid units in the professional center. Years later, we asked him to build our greenhouse which nicely supplements the main structure. I know some of the other owners of quality homes Doug built in the Kohala Ranch/Kohala Estates area. All of us consider it one of the best decisions of our lives to have used Doug as the general contractor. Thank you for the privilege of posting this review.

(Yelp ghosts legitimate reviews. This is a real customer experience.)…read more From the beginning, the entire experience of leasing a house with Jennifer managing it has been unprofessional, frustrating and frankly, unacceptable. We rented a house in Waimea, 65-1187 Owaowaka Rd., last year for one year, intending to renew the lease for a second year. We were always clear about this fact and were told the owners were interested in a long-term lease. Delay after delay occurred, preventing us from moving in, from the building not being complete (It was a new home) to the house not being cleaned. We were pressured to sign the lease starting sooner than the house was ready, and finally relented, signing it for move in August 1, 2023. But the house still wasn't ready for move-in: it was dirty from the new construction, and we repeatedly asked Jennifer to clean it. Not only did she refuse to have it cleaned, claiming that the builder said it was cleaned, but I paid a house cleaner for the cleaning and spent two days cleaning it to make it acceptable for move-in. I explained to Jennifer that it was not the responsibility of the builder to clean a house SHE was responsible for managing. Our contract was with her real estate company and the owners, not the builder. No apology or compensation was offered ... and this was after we paid the $6500 deposit! Because the house was newly built, we were asked to document any issues with the house, which we did to our best ability, but again, the owners had a responsibility to do this and never did. We reported issues as we saw them and even worked with the builder and contractor to make sure items were repaired. We went above and beyond as tenants to help out the owners, and in the end, they lied and charged us for issues with the house that had nothing to do with us, but rather warranty issues that could have been addressed with the builder. Also, we repeatedly told Jennifer the issues with the landscaping: overgrown weeds and dead grass (It was the wrong type of grass for the climate so it kept dying.), and we couldn't use the yard and courtyard because they were always muddy with no grass. The owners decided to fix the landscaping AFTER we moved out. We had the privilege of paying rent, but Jennifer and the owners never seemed concerned about providing what they agreed to. Before we moved in, we asked Jennifer and the owners if we would be allowed to add a wall-mounted TV, and we were given permission to do so, but upon moving out after we paid for a contractor to repair the walls as close to the original condition, and even after our walk-thru with Jennifer asking her if the walls were acceptable, we were charged ~$1500 for additional repairs by another painter/contractor. We specifically asked Jennifer to let us know if the owners wanted additional work done to the walls so we could have the work done. She never notified us and we ended up paying 4 times what the previous contractor charged. We've since discovered that the owners and Jennifer lied yet again: the house is back on the market to rent. They asked us to move out before our lease ended, because the owners wanted to sell the house; but then we discover the house is back on the rental market for the same price. These people are liars, unprofessional and I highly recommend you don't do business with them. If you decide to rent from these owners with Jennifer as the manager, be prepared for them doing the same to you. We're grateful to be out of this inane situation but wanted to warn everyone how they do business. Aloha.

After a few frustrating months of asking & calling every contractor I could find around the island, it was such a relief when Robert from RAD Builders responded within a day and then offered to call me to talk about the work I needed done. Not long after, he visited the house to get check out the bathroom/shower that we needed fixed and to provide me with the quote. Throughout the process all the way to when the work was done, Robert kept me well informed and was always prompt and thorough when answering all of my questions and concerns. Robert worked with us based on our set budget and the overall quality of services we received exceeded our expectations. We are grateful that we finally found an honest and reliable team that will help us keep our family home strong & taken care of as my Dad would have wanted. We've already requested for another quote to get more work done on the house so definitely looking forward to working with Robert again. So if you're looking someone do some fixes/remodeling for your home, I recommend you call RAD Builders. Thank you!
