My home was completed in less than 6 months from ground to turn-key ready. The crew worked hard, arrived on time and completed projects as scheduled. My home is exactly as I imagined it to be and more. Working with Derek Kalai has been an amazing experience and I am looking forward to working with Boom Hawaii Builders again in the very near future. Contact Boom Hawaii Builders for all of your building and construction needs. They will not disappoint!

Yurts of HI was the contractor on my build in 2019. They installed my catchment. I paid YOH for a…read morebrand new liner, for which they invoiced me and for which YOH accepted payment. Her subcontractors installed a liner that had a hole in it which they patched up but told no one. A new, undamaged liner is meant to last more than 10-15 years. Mine failed after only 6 years because the glue on the patch wore off and my catchment leaked out all my water. I had to buy water. The low water level burned out my pressure pump, so I had to buy a new pump. So far, I've had to spend over $3000 for a new liner, pump and water. I am dealing with her now to try to get recourse, but she refuses to accept any responsibility and rather is trying to lay the blame on a subcontractor she used and whom she later fired because of some substandard work or dishonesty; this sub has been out of business for some time. I gave her two options: that she either reimburse me for all my expenses because of the dishonest work, or pay me for just the materials I've had to purchase. I believe this is reasonable. Yet, she is refusing to accept any responsibility. Be warned!

She responded to texts, she planned the project & timeline very well. The contractors showed up on time with the big machinery to make our 400' driveway.

Very good quality, insulation, and structure stability. Melissa and her office staff was friendly and responsive. Considering another project with Yurts of Hawaii!! Thank you for our new home!

Unfortunately Carlson Homes will not be building my dream home…read more  I had been working with Carlson Homes for over a year. They bid my project and I signed their proposal with enthusiasm 11/19. A couple of months later I got a call. They forgot two major details in my design. As a result, the cost went up nearly $62k... I understood and accepted the new proposal.  Then COVID hit and everything in my life got put on hold... Nine months or so later I re-engaged with Carlson Homes and gave them the opportunity to re-bid. Of course everything went up in price. I accepted their proposal again.  Very recently I made the 3000 mile move to the island with everything in tow. Then, as we were finalizing the contract documents with Carlson Homes and the Material House, Carlson Homes backed out sighting ..."multiple delays"... As I've read these glowing reviews, the most current of which was Aug 2016, I can't help but think something has suffered over the years since 2016 at Carlson Homes. It's not for me to speculate here.  I will say that I very much looked forward to Carlson Homes building my dream home. I have been seriously inconvenienced by them backing out leaving me high & dry, and starting from scratch. Mahalo for that...
