I strongly advise anyone considering hiring Nohealani Masonry to think twice before doing business…read morewith them. My experience with the owner, Kepu, has been nothing short of a nightmare. I contracted with Kepu in May 2025 to pour and finish a stained, stamped, and sealed concrete driveway, along with the installation of two aluminum gates and fencing. On the last day of the pour, he pressured me to pay the entire final balance upfront--including the gates and fencing--so he could "pay his workers." Against my better judgment, I trusted him. That was a huge mistake. Here's what happened: Substandard Workmanship: Most driveways are poured at 4" thick. Mine was poured at only 2". Reinforcing wire pushed up through the concrete in several places (I have photos). Kepu made several failed attempts to repair it. When I demanded the bad sections be repoured, he began ghosting me and dodging calls. Flaky, Unreliable, and Dishonest: Weeks went by with endless excuses for not showing up. His own vendors even contacted me directly, complaining he wasn't returning equipment he had rented for my job. Only after I threatened to file a RICO complaint with the State of Hawaii did he return--half-heartedly--to reseal the concrete. Poor Final Results: The seal job looks terrible. The color is uneven, large white sandy patches are visible from too much non-slip additive, and there are permanent bucket marks left behind where he rested containers on the wet surface. Unfinished Work & Missing Money: Three months later, Kepu has not installed the gates and fencing. He does not answer phone calls, texts, or emails. After I demanded proof of my gate/fence order, he admitted he canceled it. I told him to refund the money. But never followed through. At this point, he has my money and I have nothing to show for it. I have filed a formal RICO complaint with the State of Hawaii, and I am now preparing to seek legal help to recover damages and the funds I paid him in good faith. If you value your time, money, and sanity, avoid Nohealani Masonry at all costs. I wish I had seen a review like this before I made the mistake of hiring them.

I contacted this company and spoke to the owner Kepu Tupou directly. From the beginning of this…read moreproject to the very end, I was extremely impressed with Kepu's sincerity, honesty, his professionalism and his work. The job was completed within the time frame he gave me and every detail accomplished, including clean-up after completion. The actual work consisted of tearing down a major retaining wall in the front of my house, the same in the back of the house, as well as painting of the steps to the house. I would absolutely and will definitely recommend Kepu and Nohealani Construction!

Their quote was precise and they asked the right questions to make sure our project goals were met. The AOAO Board was especially pleased with the value we received. We weren't looking for low bid but we were looking for done properly and affordably. HI Grade Masonry hit the target. It was a small project and they did exactly what we needed and wanted. Suli made sure that his crew went the extra mile to get the project done right and done quickly. Thanks HI Grade! The Royal Queen Emma building appreciates you!

Most companies suggested to put vinyl fencing in the back and repair the front. We obtained several quotes and decided to go with HI Grade Masonry. They were not the lowest but my mom had a good vibe with Suli so we went ahead with them. From start to finish she kept raving about how impressed she was with their work ethic and professionalism. They did an excellent job on the wall(s) and, aside from their warm aloha and "care for kupuna", what she appreciated most was how they were very good about clearing out the bricks and cleaning everything up! She is very particular about people's work ethic and she is a clean freak so that says a lot about their work!

I wanted to change my old outdated wooden screen door and called a few businesses that said they do…read morescreen doors. But did you know that it doesn't mean they all do security screen doors? Security screen type doors are a different animal. I knew that my doorway would require some wood framing because of it's unusual size so who better to do this type of job than a handyman. I Yelped through handyman and came across Handyman Services. I was delighted that I saw Terry K.'s used him and was very impressed with Ryan's work. So I made the call to Handyman Services (Ryan/Owner) and explained what I wanted, an estimate on installation of two doors. To my amazement, he said that he would be in my area in the afternoon. Sure enough he came by and took the measurements and within a couple of hours texted me the estimate. Now that's the kind of service that everyone expects, but rarely receive from any type business. I won't say how much the estimate was for, but I found it reasonable and less than I anticipated the job to be. I scheduled the next open date which was the following week. Ryan came by as scheduled and quickly framed and installed two security screen doors with some modifications. He's quick and efficient, also takes pride in the quality of his work. Will definitely use him for projects that I can't do around the house.

William and the team at Ming Yang (MY) Construction are phenomenal!…read more Kitchen remodel, 5 Stars. They helped us step out of the 70s and into something so much more modern. From the first site visit to the final walkthrough, everything was seamless. William managed this project very well and guided us through this process with ease. At any point if we had questions he was quick to respond. The showroom they have is great and the experience of setting your preferences on design and materials is quite enjoyable. The only hiccup we encountered is that the supplier of the original tile that had been selected did not come in the size we needed and so it wouldn't have meshed well with the current tile in the living room. William helped us find a suitable alternative and we were able to pivot and are very pleased with the outcome. There were a couple of adjustments during the project but again related to the tile, we changed the direction of the placement which allows for us to replace the remaining tile in the house in the future if we decided to do so. William and team thinking ahead with our needs in mind really provided a sense of care. To top it all off, we wanted this build done ASAP and the team was able to complete the remodel in 8 days compared to their estimate of 10 - 14. We are extremely pleased with the work and so glad we went with a business right here in Kaneohe. Thank you William, Wen, and team! Some details on the kitchen itself for those curious. - L Shaped - Soft Close Cabinets - Spice Rack left of the Range - Microwave with vent above Range - Backsplash - Recessed Lights - Pendent Lights - Island with three sides of overhang for full dining

Don't think twice, book with MY Construction, couldn't be happier with the renovation they did on…read moremy condo!! My renovation consisted of a full kitchen & bathroom remodel, with tub to shower conversion. I contacted a few companies and received various quotes, some of which required me to travel to various showrooms to select materials which as a first time home renovator, seemed overwhelming. However, when I was contacted by William, he informed me he had previously done renovations in my building and was very familiar with how the management office worked, water shut off, elevator reservations, etc. MY Construction's showroom had all materials/samples in one place where I could put everything together and get a visual idea; he also had tons of photos of examples on his phone to show me. Can't say enough amazing things about William and his crew, not only did he keep me updated daily, but he also handled so many of the nuance tasks on his own, making sure I wasn't distracted at work or taking on any unnecessary stress during the project. (He even dealt with a cranky tenant who had been accidentally double booked by management for the elevator as well as installing all of the new appliances!) The communication couldn't have been better. On to the finished reno; it's truly everything I wanted and more! I am currently renting the apartment to a friend and he's had no issues with any leaks, appliance function, and he's also commented how stunning the renovation turned out! If you're thinking of a new home renovation, big or small, look no further, these guys will give you an incredible result while simultaneously keeping the project stress-free!!

Communication: Initially, communication was excellent, with…read moreresponses typically arriving within an hour. However, as the project progressed and more payments were made, responsiveness steadily declined. Sometimes, it often took 1-4 days to receive a reply, particularly when I was following up about permit submission delays. Workmanship: Average. The completed work was acceptable, but nothing stood out as exceptional. Contract and Warranty: The company did not fully honor the terms of the signed contract. After the deposit was paid, and before work started 10 months later, Solid Masonry requested additional compensation due to increased material costs. While material prices may indeed have risen, much of the delay appeared to stem from their failure to submit the permit application promptly. They initially requested approximately 30% above the contract price, though we eventually negotiated a lower increase. Additionally, a newly repaired pipe was later found to have been bent during the backfilling process. Despite the damage resulting from their work, Solid Masonry still attempted to charge me for the excavation required to expose and repair the pipe. Trustworthiness and Follow-Through: I was charged for both excavation and plumbing work. However, on the day excavation began, no plumber was present. Solid Masonry described this as a miscommunication, and I ultimately had to hire my own plumber despite having already paid for plumbing services through them. Another mistake on my part was paying the final balance before the permit was officially closed. Once payment was received, the company appeared to move on to other projects and did not proactively follow up on permit closure. The permit remained open until I contacted them and repeatedly followed up. Architect: The architect associated with this company had a reputation for overpromising and procrastinating. This was not only my experience but was also echoed by inspectors I spoke with at HPP. After receiving my deposit, it took the architect approximately five months to submit the permit application. After the project was completed, the architect again failed to follow through on closing the permit. Multiple calls to both the architect and contractor were required before action was taken, and even then, it took another two weeks to finally close the permit. Overall: To their credit, the company ultimately completed the project, although it took nearly a year from the time we signed the contract to finish. Unfortunately, the process was far more stressful than it should have been. I found myself constantly having to follow up on issues that I reasonably expected the contractor to manage, including permit submissions, plumbing coordination, and permit closure. My recommendation to future customers is to withhold final payment until the permit has been officially closed. I was also disappointed that the company chose not to stand behind its work regarding the bent pipe and instead attempted to charge me for corrective excavation. My overall rating is influenced less by the quality of the workmanship and more by concerns regarding integrity, accountability, follow-through, and trustworthiness.

Spending hours trying to find the right company and meeting with several contractors who fit all your building criteria is very time-consuming. That is why your search stops here with Elevate Builders Hawaii. From the initial consultation with Yaniv to the final touches, the team was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. The team was amazing and even worked through the recent storms, despite our property being partially flooded. Our upstairs kitchen was outdated and needed a complete makeover, and Elevate Builders accomplished the work with stunning before-and-after results. (See posted vids and pics) Working with Yaniv made this whole process effortless. I initially met Yaniv on one of my trips back home for a consultation. After meeting with Yaniv, there was no doubt that Elevate Builders would win the bid against the other companies. We liked his recommendations, the quote was within budget, and most importantly, Yaniv's kind and pleasant demeanor made him stand out. Yaniv helped us choose modern finishes that matched our vision, came shopping with us, and sent several links to finishes he recommended. In addition, the workmanship exceeded our expectations. After we had things situated, I flew back to San Francisco and communicated regularly between my brother (who lives in Honolulu) and Yaniv. He was very transparent throughout the entire process, which included changes to work orders, his honest opinions when choosing the materials, and he always kept me updated with the progress. The project was completed on time and within budget, making the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend Elevate Builders Hawaii for anyone looking to transform their home, kitchen, or any part of their home or business. Follow them on Instagram (elev8builders) for samples of their amazing work. Mahalo Elevate Builders! You guys are awesome!
