Overall Quality: 5/5 Time Completed: 5/5 Dollar Value: 5/4.5 Sturdiness: 5/4.5 Looks/Details: 5/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Rating Explanation: The project was completed in a timely manner considering all the work they had to do and took 4 weeks to complete with them coming 6 days a week to work on the project from early mornings around 8:30am to about 5:00pm. Originally I was quoted at $50,000 for the entire project, however due to some changes in material and overall things I wanted done it added up to $78,000 which is a fair price for what I was asking for. I was able to find cheaper quotes from other companies, however the main reason that I choose Mokoi Masonry is because the owner did not ask for any money upfront before the work had been started and he agreed to work with me throughout the project to make sure everything was the way I wanted. I was also allowed to pay them as I saw the work completed and never felt pressured into making a payment before I saw the work done, this is a very good business practice for the customers who aren't comfortable paying the money before any progress is done. The quality of the material is very good looking and the final results show that the project was a success in terms of overall completion. The cement they used seemed very sturdy in majority of the areas that they did and the only reason I took off 0.5 was because I found a small crack in the front of my house that was only 1 day after they had completed the project. To be completely fair I did give them the okay that the project was complete the day before and the cement was just poured a few days before so it wasn't completely their fault. I did call the owner to ask about it and was told that it was mainly due to the dirt shifting, which is understandable since our home does experience ground shifting frequently to the point were our doors don't even close well in the house. Looks of the project were as I expected and turned out great. The customer service was above and beyond as Vili took the time to stay in constant contact with me to make sure everything was the way I wanted it. Project Details / Work Done: This job was a major renovation that required a complete overhaul of the driveway and surrounding areas including a hillside as well as working around a ditch. Let me first state that the project was mainly based on practical needs surrounding my family's lifestyle rather than the looks and design of the actual final result so there are many things that might not look like its necessary, however I will include an explanation as to why I had them do certain things. Starting with the back of the house they had to completely take down a very unstable cement block wall that was cracking and reshape the hillside to get it ready for a terrace. The hill had many different roots and tree stumps that had to be removed by both machine and hand as well as tons of rocks / boulders to work around. Stone walls were installed in each level of the terrace which also included drainage pipes as well as a stair well on each side of the hill. The top of the hill side after the second terrace level was then completely covered with a rock and cement combination to prevent vegetation from growing in areas outside of isolated areas. The top of the hill needed to be smoothed out for the construction of a sidewalk on both sides of a drainage ditch. The stairs were added on each side of the hill and had to be fitted to match with the surrounding boulders that can't be removed. A lot of dirt had to be removed from the hill as well as many different roots that were pulled including a tree stump which was a separate cost. Coming back down towards the house area the entire sidewalk around the house was overrun with roots and weeds that needed to be poisoned and removed as well as completely replacing all areas of the sidewalk surrounding the house on both sides. The roots were very deep and growing on the side of the house so a lot of the work needed to be done by hand. The front of the house was the least problematic as it was previously cleared by a yard company, the major work was to completely demolish an old asphalt driveway that was in terrible condition and completely replace it with a cement one as well as extend it towards the left side of the house. The front yard also needed a stonewall in the front to match the neighbors wall as well as a completely new sidewalk in the entrance area to replace a cracking one from all the roots. After all that I had them install multiple boarders around the house and level it with the sidewalk to make it easier for me to cut the grass with a lawn mower once I get grass. They also installed a mini wall for my garbage bins with a small gap in the back to allow water to flow after it rains. Every wall and rock area was completely cemented to fill in all the cracks to prevent bugs from nesting inside those small areas. read more

Vili team did an amazing job. When I first contacted him he was able to come over that same day to meet with us. He even sent over the contract with the estimate that night. He also came and met with us again to do one last walk through. He was very informative and explained his approach to replacing our retaining wall when we raised concerns about our sewer and water line and sprinkler system since our property is raised. They dug it out manually to insure nothing was damaged. He always responded promptly and reconfirmed what we wanted done. Vili also had oversight of his team and kept us well informed. They also completed the job quickly and cleaned up everything as well. Vili takes pride in his work and it shows. I also was able to find Mokoi Masonry on the BBB with no complaints and he was also the most affordable out of all the quotes. Another thing I liked about this company was that there was a lot of photos to see the different completed jobs and the quality of work. Check out his photos on here, their site and Facebook. I found it helpful in making my decision to go with them. I highly recommend Mokoi Masonry. read more

Rockwall Masterpiece - True Craftsmanship! Mokoi Masonry, led by the incredible Vili and his talented brothers, transformed my property with a stunning 110-linear-foot rockwall that isn't just a boundary - it's a landscape sculpture. Vili and his crew are the definition of professional: honest, hard-working, and incredibly skilled. I was working on a tight deadline with my ongoing pool construction, and they completed the entire project in just three weeks - a remarkable feat considering the intricate stonework. Every single stone seems intentionally placed, creating a natural, organic flow that looks like it grew right out of the ground. Simply breathtaking! What truly sets Vili apart is his integrity. He's not just building walls; he's crafting experiences and adding value to properties. His work is a testament to true masonry artistry. If you want a rockwall that will increase your property's aesthetic appeal at a reasonable price, Mokoi Masonry is your only call. He has the machines, the crew, and the vision to handle any rockwall and masonry work. Highly, HIGHLY recommended! read more

We are very please with Mokoi Masonry. We requested to level our property, build a retaining wall & repave our driveway. Vili listened to our concerns, carefully scoped the job & provided sound recommendations. It was also important to us that our neighbor's wall was undisturbed and they really came through. The leveling of the property required removal and disposal of many loads of dirt. The crew was efficient & avoided dirt going into other parts of the yard. The wall is solid. Huge rocks were installed at the base & throughout the wall & seams were grouted to provide additional strength. They also took the extra step to stain the new rocks to blend with the existing wall. Our driveway was tricky because we needed the gutter run-off to drain across the driveway & away from the house & garage. It worked! We are grateful to Vili and his crew. They are professional, respectful and hard workers. read more

No need to check other contractors - we highly recommend reserving ahead and using Vili and crew!!! read more

Vili of Mokoi Masonry was contacted on behalf of the Waikiki Aquarium to make repairs to the lava rock wall damaged by a delivery truck. Vili was very responsive, visiting the site and developing a quote for repair in short order. Once the quote was accepted by the offending company's Claims Dept., Vili was quick to confirm scheduling the job, appearing onsite within days. Not only fast, communicative and very easy to work with, Vili was also generous enough to donate a few spare rocks he had on-hand to patch other holes in the wall from past years of wear-and-tear. I look forward to working with Vili and Mokoi Masonry again in the future. read more

Vili and his team are phenomenal! We had an old in-ground pond and waterfall in our backyard that we wanted to demolish. The plan was to remove large stones and concrete so that we could grade the land and eventually create a yard. Vili's team was able to troubleshoot the limited access area and found a solution to get the proper machinery to the site. They worked tirelessly for hours and not only completed the task, but went above and beyond our expectations. His pricing was very fair and the team was extremely friendly and professional.

I am very satisfied with the quality work performed by Mokoi Masonry Contractors. The job was a smaller residential project to replace a portion of a cracking concrete block wall; and also various repairs to an old, crumbling lava rock wall . The Mokoi Masonry crew was professional from start to finish -- skilled workers who know what they are doing. Also, good site cleanup after job completion.

Loved that they showed up with mask, health is the number one concern right now and I'm old and I don't want to die yet. I'm not ready. They have a fair price point and these men are very hardworking. The did my daughter's wall building, side walk, drive ways. I remembered that they also did my friend's demolition for a construction of a new business building. I've heard a lot about them on the streets so I hire them. Good people! Thank you! read more
