A & R painting was recommended for our Kaneohe home remodeling project and exterior painting by…read moreAtlas Construction. We contracted them ourselves. The free estimate was done in person by Rodger. He was quick and professional. The estimate for my size home was very reasonable.

We were happy with A&R and recommend them for your exterior or interior project.

We worked with ABC Handyman, John, on a bunch of projects around the house, and he did an awesome…read morejob from start to finish. He tore down an old closet and removed a door to give us a flat back wall for a new built-in, framed and drywalled around a lava rock wall so we could install an AC unit, and covered up a CMU wall to give it a clean, smooth look. He also helped with a few smaller fixes along the way without any fuss. He showed up on time, worked quickly, and paid close attention to the details. The work areas were kept tidy every day, and he explained what he was doing so we always knew the plan. What stood out most was how versatile and skilled he is--he handled framing, drywall, and finish work all in one go. He's easy to talk to, gives honest feedback, and genuinely wants the end result to look good. We're really happy with how everything turned out and will definitely be calling him again for future projects. Highly recommend.

Our new home is roughly 500 sqft and we had a tight, 2-week moving window. We're so grateful to find Johnny, with ABC Handyman Hawaiʻi. He was punctual, meticulous, and we are so HAPPY with the results! I shopped around and received quotes from 6 different handyman, paint, and ceiling restoration companies and Johnny responded to me super quickly and ran through the end-to-end process of work to be done. My partner and I were sold by how detail-oriented he was in explaining the materials he would use and all the safety considerations we should pay attention to as new homeowners. Our goal was to get a high quality, skim coat ceiling that matched our walls and Johnny delivered. He ended up skimming 16 gallons of drywall compound onto our scraped off ceiling, he did the priming and painting, plus he did all the repairs on the wall and helped us reinstall lights and other ceiling fixtures. He also spotted that our kitchen cabinets were barely hanging on by a loose screw and made time in his schedule to secure those for us as well! We really enjoyed working with ABC Handyman, we wanted the best and we got the best. Mahalo Johnny!

UPDATE (June 8, 2026): We have received neither payment nor communication from Brian…read more UPDATE (May 2026): We obtained a court judgment in our favor in late April. Brian told us he currently did not have the money, would be traveling in Europe for several weeks, but would "guarantee to pay at latest by June 5th." We will update this review accordingly. ORIGINAL REVIEW (April 2026): Using Brian's Painting was a very disappointing and costly experience that left us with an unfinished home and significant financial loss. We hired Brian for a $10,000 exterior painting project. After collecting $6,000, he completed only about 10% of the work, then abandoned the project and stopped communicating. Brian requested a 40% deposit ($4,000) and later an additional 20% ($2,000) after a short prep stage that took about eight hours. After receiving the $6,000, he returned only twice for brief visits over several weeks, then dropped the job, leaving the house unfinished. (See attached photos.) We attempted to resolve the matter in good faith. We agreed he could keep the $2,000 even though several licensed painters we consulted estimated that only about 10% ($1,000) of the work had been completed by Brian. He eventually agreed to refund the $4,000 deposit, but after multiple deadline extensions has only returned $1,300 and has now stopped communicating altogether. We are now pursuing recovery through court and filing a complaint with the Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO), which takes enforcement action against unlicensed contractors operating illegally in Hawaii. We also had prior issues with a smaller job he completed in 2023, including use of lower-grade paint than what we paid for and paint splatter left on appliances. Despite this, we gave him another opportunity when he repeatedly requested the exterior project. We greatly regret that decision now. Bottom line: We strongly recommend homeowners to look elsewhere.

I contacted Homer from Island Coating to see if he'd be interested in putting up some wallpaper for…read moreour nursery. My husband and I tried to do it two years ago for our son's nursery and needless to say it was an experience we never wanted to do again. We knew we needed to hire someone to do the wallpaper for our daughters nursery this time and thank God Homer said he was available! We got quotes from other people, some were over $1000 which to me is totally absurd for one wall - I think they priced us at $1,400 or something like that, not to say the effort doesn't deserve a decent amount of payment but over a grand just seemed like a lot especially for our budget. Homer gave us a quote of $450 and knowing he had good reviews on Yelp I was comfortable saying yes. He was on time, professional, super nice, made sure I knew he was still arriving to do the job the day before, always messaged me back if I had questions, and the final result is incredible. He showed up in the morning just like he said he would and was done in the early afternoon. If I ever need someone to do wallpaper services in future renovations I am absolutely contacting Homer to do the job! I feel his price was fair, the work was exceptional, and am very glad we hired him! Thank you Homer for your services! We love our nursery wallpaper!

Above and beyond is how I describe the work ethic of this company. I genuinely felt that I was…read morebeing taken care of. This company took care of any concerns that I had with no questions asked. Their main concern was us being happy with the outcome. Even things that was from a previous paint job that was out of their control, they worked it out! I'm embarrassed to say that I even sent messages really late at night with some questions I had and the response was immediate! We even changed our minds on the color we originally chose half way through the job ( oopsie) and B&B made it happen. We had a huge job with a ton of cosmetic fixes and upgrades, I'm so happy with the outcome. Solid work, thanks B&B! Check out our photos, it speaks volumes!!!

I found painting services on a local Nextdoor App in my neighborhood while looking for 3 quotes to…read moreprepare my home to sell. I skimmed over a highly recommended post for Bryson and Ben, asked them to stop by for an estimate as I start packing my home. After already receiving a quote from my realtor based on photos I sent, I needed 2 more. Bryson and Ben stopped by and I showed them the areas that needed help and some other areas that I didn't quite finish but I knew will need the help. I asked them for 2 separate quotes, one for those problem areas that definitely needed the attention and only for spotting damages (no blending walls) and another for wall to wall blending of existing colors. They shared with me other things they would do such as minor repairs, varnishing on wood pieces in the house, and I asked them to add it on the quote. They also mentioned that if I had existing paint laying around they can see what can be done with it if not they are able to color match and order the paint. My last quote from another company came in and they needed precise problematic areas but this was just for painting, not for repairs. When I had the opportunity to discuss with my spouse, we decided to hire Bryson and Ben. This weekend they showed up as scheduled with all their materials. They worked diligently and were very meticulous about their work! I initially selected the spot work and minor damage repairs and they did just that. When spotting was done, they noticed the colors were a bit off because it's been 6 years since my husband painted the house and, of course, overtime, the paint tends to fade being exposed to surrounding elements overtime. I agreed with them and I appreciated them pointing out the difference after letting the paint set overnight. They would continue as planned if I still wanted just the spotted work but they felt awkward feeling like the work is not satisfactory. I was onboard and I totally agreed with them as I did not want my home's Open House with obvious spotty work! With my husband deployed, I was not able to take down the large, heavy shadow boxes that were placed in really high areas in my home, and the heavy wall mounted TV's. Bryson and Ben insisted they would take everything down, fix and repair anything needing repairs and I am so grateful!!! After 2 trips to the paint shop and long drying repair times, primer, paint, and varnish...the house looks like nothing existed on the walls! I must add that there were spots that I had missed and the guys took it upon themselves to get it done anyway! They didn't even tell me they did it!! I found the primer spots in hidden areas and a faded wall that I really didn't think needed any help! That is above and beyond in my book, and I was so fortunate to have stumbled upon their services! I made sure I compensated for the extra work and extra time, because it's rare to find honest work and work ethics and standards as high as theirs anymore. My husband has one less thing to worry about when he returns from deployment, and I couldn't be more pleased with everything Bryson and Ben has done to get the job done. 5 stars for their quick response and reasonable estimates 5 stars for their quality of work and their hard work to get things done 5 stars for their offer to help customers with other things that needed to get done. It truly lifted weight off my shoulders!! 5 stars for making the effort and initiative to fill other minor areas missed, that speaks volumes of their work ethics, morals, and values. They care about their work and the customers who depend on them, I am beyond grateful for their services and their time away from their families to help other families. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to get the job done right. They will not disappoint!! Mahalo Bryson and Ben!! And for both your families for the time away to help us out!!

He continued to manage the job and truly went out of his way to satisfy my requests, even having special moldings made to match the existing ones in my older home! Gavin headed the paint crew. He was in my house every day for 6 days until the job was done. He was amazing! I cannot say enough about Gavin as a person, and his workmanship. He was professional, easy to talk to, kept me up to date, answered questions as they arose, and did a truly excellent job painting. He did everything as he would want it done himself. He told me that, and then he showed me by doing such careful and exacting work! Mike and Blaze assisted Gavin and proved themselves helpful and skilled as well! Pristine kept their word and came back after the job was done to touch up after the flooring people. Sorry this is such a long review, but I can't say enough about Pristine, especially Henry, Ryan and Gavin!
