*DON'T DO IT - YOU'VE BEEN WARNED* Michael was hired to "professionally clean" our 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and shampoo/vacuum/steam our carpet on 12/3/2019 at 9am but he came about 15 mins late. Whatever, it was fine. He initially quoted me $375-$425 on yelp but after our initial walk through he changed the quote to $492.15 because he didn't know our living room and hall way had carpet. Ok whatever, that's fine too. I just needed the place cleaned out. At the final walk through, he did his little calculation on his phone and quoted me $497.xx Kitchen: Micheal strategically cleaned out specific drawers/cupboards in my kitchen so that when we did the final walk through, he knew exactly which drawers to open to make like he actually cleaned. He told me he cleaned behind my fridge to which he did not do. He did not sweep or mop my kitchen floor and he left stains on my counter top (see picture). He states there was "roach infestation" and wasn't able to clean certain areas of the Kitchen but per the Terminators that we hired, there wasn't any activities (unnecessary money we spent believing Michael and his lies). Bathroom: This dude left under our bathroom sink untouched, left the bathtub faucet with soap scums, the toilet still had the toilet ring. The toilet itself was just wiped on the top but he left the sides and bottom untouched. Also left the bathroom floor as is, no sweeping and/or mopping. He strategically stood in the middle of the bathroom (our bathroom isn't that big) and explained everything so I was not able to get in and get a good look on everything he claimed he "cleaned" (see pictures). Carpet: This one pissed me off. This guy literally just put water on my carpet and ran his vacuum over it. He did not steam, shampoo or put any stain solution on it. I know this because we had to get another guy come in and do what Michael was suppose to do. *GO SEE EXCELLENCE CARPET - YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED* And he told us Michael did not do any of the above. When I did my walk through with Michael, I asked him about some stains on the carpet and he said "Yeah, I tried to get it off but it just wouldn't" - so funny he said that because when he left my husband scrubbed it off with a bottle cap and the stain came right off. Also, my two closets in the unit had carpet in them and this guy did not have the decency to at least vacuum the insides. Overall this guy and company is a SCAM!! Please please please don't hire these guys. I saw 2 previous bad reviews but I went with him anyway because he quoted me the least (ha!). I initially begged Michael to give us a refund back on our carpet or at least come back and re-do it but he said he asked his service manager and they are unable to do carpet refunds. It is funny he said because on yelp it says he is the owner. LOL Michael reached out to me after my Husband posted a review. All of the sudden he can do carpet refunds now, he requested that my Husband take off his review and he will refund us back $120 from our $497. He said he will only give me half of this $120 back AFTER I sign 'removal waiver with yelp' so no further can be posted. I told Michael he can keep my $120 and I'll write my review so that hopefully no one else can fall for his scamming ways. It was definitely a hard lesson to learn especially since it is the holidays and I have little kids to buy presents for. P.s Michael - Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. Hope you buy them something nice with my $497 dollars. UPDATE: These pictures are my pictures and they are not meant for "black mailing" but to simply prove that Michael did such a bad job. I don't care about how much Mike quoted me. It is the service that you provided that I am dissatisfied with. And yes, please have Yelp review my account. Most of my reviews are 5 stars and I always like to write good things about people. ALSO, NO COMPLETE REFUND was accepted like Mike here says. Another Lie! LOL read more

STAY AWAY. Should have checked yelp before jumping. Hired them for move out cleaning. The owner threatened to call the police over a $80 dispute. Why? Because my mother and I questioned why we were charged an extra $80 for accepting help with two small boxes movers had left behind. The worker offered and she accepted, thinking it was part of the "aloha" spirit the company apparently has. Nope. Turns out it was for the upcharge and suddenly they're saying my mother asked for help and that the price was agreed to? Sketchy gaslighting, check. They took the charge off the bill but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth considering how they threatened to call the police, the apartment manager, and my rental manager and also did such a poor job with the windows that my mother had to ask them to wipe down the window sill during the walkthrough. I'm grateful that that request didn't result in a $50 surcharge. Update for clarity and accuracy. You'd think for $80, they took the box to our new place, her car, or even a few feet. Nope again. The worker moved the box from a countertop to my mother's trolley right below the counter. During the walkthrough she also pointed out that the cabinet doors had not been wiped down. The cleaners said that it was hard to get off, like it was grease or something. My mother could wipe off the stain with a wet finger. The cleaners then wiped the cabinet doors with a clorox wipe no problem. During walkthrough with the landlord and "did you pay for someone to clean? Can you get a refund?" Question came up multiple times (definitely a question I want to hear after paying someone $550 to clean) because the widows and screens weren't cleaned or even touched. Sure was billed for it though and the invoice says I paid for window cleaning. My mother and I had to go back and clean the windows, screens, counters, and floors to get our deposit. read more

Overall amateurs. At first glance my unit looked clean. When you start opening cabinets and looking at surfaces you start seeing the inattention to detail. Still found stains on countertops and debris and dust in cabinets. Glad we didn't leave a bigger tip. read more

Totally thankful for the referral that lead us to the team of Ohana Ground Operations! Mike & Austin were great to work with. Quick & easy scheduling made all the difference for us. We needed a quick Covid 19 cleaning and these guys came through. Would highly recommend anytime! The came, assessed and put together a plan that would not only clean & sanitize but also provide us with peace of mind. read more

I hired Mike to do my move out for a 1bdrm/1bath apartment and he was super on top of it. He is very good at communicating and did an awesome job cleaning getting out the stains we had in the carpet. They also worked on our windows and everything came out exactly as I had asked. He also cleaned behind the fridge and the oven looked great. He's very easy to work with and did it for a reasonable price! read more

Refunded after showing the videos and getting in heated discussion with the owner. Very grateful he felt it was "the honorable thing to do" to refund us after seeing the picture and video evidence of job (not) done. Maybe it was just a fluke; seemed genuinely surprised at the quality. Would have been happy to help a small business and wish the outcome was different. read more

Mike offered the best cleaning at my grandmas house -- from baseboards, windows and even moving some furniture, this place looks amazing. Couldn't recommend OG operations and services enough--mike was also flexible with his schedule, and doesn't dry to nickel and dime you like every other cleaning service on the island. You can select one time or how often you want--and his team services the whole island. Stop what you're doing and pick up your phone to book now. Mahalo Mike! read more

Michael and his team are great. I hired them for my move out and they did an amazing job. I highly recommend them. They cleaned my place, fixed holes, and steam cleaned the carpet. Mike removed stains that had been there for years from previous tenants, that the landlord said couldn't be removed. The landlord said the place looked amazing, then asked for his card on the spot:) I've already recommended Mike and his company to several people and will continue to do so. Mahalo nui loa to Micchael and his team read more

These guys are real professionals! I called them to assist with an urgent project (exterior crack in our concrete building) and they scheduled to come out right away. They gave me a reasonable quote, finished the work quickly and properly, and also gave me additional valuable information when the job was completed. Would not hesitate to call them again. Very easy to work with. read more

Very solid business! These guys did all my carpet before moving out - very thorough and did all the closets and stairs and everything. Very professional and polite guys and great conversationalists! They were also extremely professional coordinating the date and time for the cleaning and did a killer job here! Also the price is unbeatable; my home took about 3 hours to do and the charge was actually quite surprisingly low. Definitely give Mike a call if you need cleaning services! Mahalo guys! read more

This guy is full of shit.. he charged us $497 for a shitty job. We hired him to "professionally" cleaned our place before we moved but overall really bad. Only wiped down inside cabinets and walls. He "shampooed" the carpet but still look like shit. I hired Excellence Carpet and cleaning and did 100% better than him. Mike you shouldn't scam people with your shitty business. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! I hired this company for an apartment clean out on 4/25. The owner wasn't able to do a walk-through when the guys finished but the few things I found they addressed before leaving. The next day, 4/26, the property manager found several areas that were missed. We both reached out to the owner and when I did hear back from Michael, he advised he would reach out to the property manager. $250 was withheld from my security deposit because of this. I spoke with the property manager on Friday May 31st (3 weeks since speaking to the owner) and was advised that he has not heard from the owner despite numerous attempts at contacting him so he will have to arrange his own cleaning. I am no longer in Hawaii or I would file a small claims suit. I don't recommend them. read more

I found Ohana Ground Operations by requesting quotes from Handyman on Yelp. Mike (owner of Ohana) responded within 15 minutes of my request and offered to work on my repairs the next business day. His prompt and reasonable pricing was unique from other handymen I have dealt with in the past. Mike is trustworthy and reliable and I would definitley recommend him! read more

There were only two of them, but the work that these two gentlemen did was OUTSTANDING and IMPRESSIVE! Also, they responded and were available immediately! Could not have asked for a better team! The price was decent so decent I paid an extra 10 as an overwhelmingly happy and satisfied customer! I strongly recommend this cleaning crew!! Thank you guys!!] read more

Great service!! I asked for a move-out cleaning service for a four bedroom two bath home that was over 1,000 sq ft, upstairs unit, has a lot of windows, and mostly carpet. I got a great deal compared to other estimates and a guaranteed warranty that if my property management wasn't satisfied they would come back! I don't think they will have a problem though because the house looked great during the walk through! Hard working guys with a funny/friendly sense of humor. Extremely trust worthy and had clear easy communication the entire process! I've lived here in Hawaii for five years moved six times and these guys are by far the better of the other cleaning companies I've hired. read more

I was very pleased with the employees and the owner of Ohana Ground Operations... they came to our prior home yesterday to do a deep clean for our move out inspection. They did a really wonderful job cleaning the place up and taking it to the next level. I'm feeling very confident we are going to get our full rental deposit back. I was impressed to see they even pulled out the fridge to get behind there to clean! I will definitely be using them again for any future deep cleaning!! I also wanted to add that the employees are just great people, I was around while they were cleaning so I was able to converse with them and it was really enjoyable for me! I love vocalizing my support for a company that not only does great work, but who hires really awesome people! read more

Mike did great with cleaning our apartment for our move out. Our tub had lots of stain -- leaving it yellow but when he was done it was brand new and white again. Would definitely recommend this company! Reasonable price and gets the job done well! read more

I am all about giving smallfamily businesses business. However, when using this company make sure you really have a commitment on date and time. I ended up paying so much for a rush job from another cleaning company because they didn't show up on the date and time they gave me. read more

Mike and crew did a great job on short notice. Tenant moved out of my house and needed a through cleaning which they did at a very fair price. Highly Recommended. read more

I really didn't want to give this review but Michael Newmeyer really has given me the run around. I called & talked to him about 6 weeks ago for some stores I needed PM & handyman work done on. He assured me he could do the work, sounded excited and was going to knock them out. Since, I have called repetitively & he tells me most of them are done, he's had people out sick, they just need to get photos, he'll send everything to me as soon as he gets to the office lastly he doesn't answer his phone anymore and his voicemail is full. I don't care if you don't want my work but don't lie to me. I had to hire someone else to do the work, I won't deal with this company again. His loss, those stores were permanent work & immediately pay after getting done. Who turns that kind of work down? read more

These guys are amazing! Did a full 2 hour cleaning. Scrubbed grim off the shower head that's been hard for me to get off since I moved in, dusted all my kitchen cabinets. They left no stone unturned. Even washed my dishes. They're punctual, kind and professional. Very detailed. Even considering booking again next month! Thanks again! read more

I've hired Mike twice now, to clean my apt. He charged a reasonable price and did a great job! My shower stall times collect a rust stain in the corner and he was able to get it out. He polished the stainless and made the granite countertops glisten! He even moved some of the furniture to sweep under it and then put it back, bc I had just taken down my Christmas Tree and there were tree needles everywhere and furniture had to be moved back into place, which he helped me with. Once again, great experience and I will definitely utilize his services again! read more

AWESOME!!! I was so impressed I didn't get pictures of before & after. Mike was super easy to work with. He communicated well responding to my emails, texts, and phone calls. We had a pretty old property and he deep cleaned making our property pass "move out" requirements with flying colors! He & his partner worked fast, efficient & effective! Would definitely recommend and use Ohana Ground Operations and services again. MAHALO! read more

I needed move out cleaning on a Sunday. Mike and his crew did a fabulous job. They removed limescale and even brought the stove top to pristine condition. Hesitate to give five stars just because there were spots on the floor in the downstairs half bath. I missed it during the walk through and it was an easy fix. Mike and his crew rinsed the screens on the windows and i am happy to say that we passed our move out cleaning inspection. Mike is a professional and easy to work with. Thanks Mike. read more

Today I had Mike and one of his guys come out to my house to patch a hole in the wall and install a ceiling fan. Mike was very friendly, professional, and responsive. He took time to explain the process and answer any questions. Quality work. Great value. Would recommend to others and will be my go-to guy for future repairs. read more

Mike was supposed to come on a Saturday and then called and rescheduled for a Sunday with me. He never showed up on Sunday and never contacted me. He did contact me on Monday and said he had been in a car accident on Sunday and would be off work for several days. I will update this once work is done. read more

Michael and his team are the best. I cannot explain how clean they left my house. They are great and so polite. They took their time and really detailed everything. From outside windows to the bathroom, everything was left spotless! He also offers any maintenance needs. I recommend Ohana Ground Operations and Services! read more

I needed a move out cleaning service for a rental unit. I contacted Michael and that same morning he was able to go out to the property, provide a very reasonably priced quote and complete the work! Excellent job done, great customer service and very easy to do business with. Will definitely use this company in the future! read more

I would highly recommend these guys! They were very professional, super friendly, and even went out of their way to help us move some furniture. Did a great job and paid attention to detail. Fair price. Will definitely give them a call for my next move! Thank you Austin guys! read more
