This is a small family business that we have had two experiences with. Jay's daughter runs the…read moreoffice and is most knowledgeable and helpful in her consultations about the design of a kitchen renovation and tracking the process as it unfolds. Her husband and Jay's son in law is in charge of installation, and he and his team are courteous, competent, and thorough. On this second design and installation he returned to adjust the tolerance of hinge settings to assure a tighter close when he noticed mold on our glass cabinet doors. He took them for further treatment and re-installed them when that task was completed. We were fully satisfied with Jay's Custom Cabinets' first design and installation in our first home. When lava took that beauty and we found another, we, of course, turned to them for the updating of the kitchen of our new home. We experienced the same level of courtesy, competent expertise, and working relationship. Sadly and unfortunately, the pandemic forced the company to purchase wood from a different manufacturer and from the start Jay informed us of this. We were not sure why he did this, but now we know. The bamboo cabinetry which is beautiful is molding. Black and white mold on the front and back of the cabinet doors. They gave us a spray bottle of mold remover, but it is ineffective as mold has seeped into the bamboo and is no longer merely in the surface. We know that they sealed the wood and that they did the expected. But they refuse to consider their liability any further than this. They informed us that since we live in a tropical area with heavy rainfall, ww are partly responsible. But they ignore the fact that the home we bought is 26 years old, and its original cabinets did not mold nor smell moldy. Sadly, they are saddled with inferior wood to work with OR perhaps it's only the bamboo option that is questionable. We can recommend Jay's Custom Cabinets but beware of the poor quality of wood they are stuck with. Bob C

In looking for not HD cabinets I found Jay's. Robin greeted us as we entered their showroom and…read moreimmediately made us feel welcomed and valued. We were so impressed with Jay's that we ordered our new houses cabinets from them. Jay's took great care to make sure that the cabinets would be correct by taking onsite measurements and submitting very detailed drawings of the cabinets. Dates were agreed upon and contract signed. To our great surprise and delight our cabinets were ready early and I actually had to ask for a small delay in delivery, which they graciously agreed to. Day of install arrived and Jay's was perfectly on time. The whole crew were extremely professional. And I am the proud owner of not just cabinets but well built pieces of art. If your looking for quality cabinets on the Big Island do yourself a favor and go see Jay's Custom Cabinets.

After a few frustrating months of asking & calling every contractor I could find around the island, it was such a relief when Robert from RAD Builders responded within a day and then offered to call me to talk about the work I needed done. Not long after, he visited the house to get check out the bathroom/shower that we needed fixed and to provide me with the quote. Throughout the process all the way to when the work was done, Robert kept me well informed and was always prompt and thorough when answering all of my questions and concerns. Robert worked with us based on our set budget and the overall quality of services we received exceeded our expectations. We are grateful that we finally found an honest and reliable team that will help us keep our family home strong & taken care of as my Dad would have wanted. We've already requested for another quote to get more work done on the house so definitely looking forward to working with Robert again. So if you're looking someone do some fixes/remodeling for your home, I recommend you call RAD Builders. Thank you!

Initially, I thought I would like to work with this company. After speaking to Danny I felt the…read moreproject would be done with economy, care and deliver good results. I've been wrong before and I was wrong about teak bali. They agreed to help me and demanded $3500 up front to "draw some pictures" which they did. They never once mentioned a full project price and I was led to believe they were a complete operation. They are not. They draw some pictures and are very quiet about everything having to do with the project as they are located in Indonesia and are not available on the island. Everything had to be done remotely which is excessively clunky. They eventually quoted me a price of over $400/sf. Not economical at all. They asked me to house "their representative" on the island because "it's too far for him to drive". They have a draftsman but they don't have architects so they wanted me to hire another architect to draw up their renderings for permits!! They wanted me to hire out all the preliminary work and had no recommendation for builders!! They literally told me to "send your builder to Indonesia so we can show him how it's put together"!! Unreal. Totally misrepresented their company and what they do. They tell me their "drafting fees" are $100/hour and they feel they've "given me a deal" by "only" charging me $61/hour! I'm sorry. Misrepresentation. 100%

They do an amazing job and most importantly, they think ahead and on behalf of you. When you work with contractors or handymen, very often, you have to supervise and watch their every move and tell them what to do. Not with Robin and Tina. You're hiring and working with thinkers because Rob is an attorney by training and Tina has been an entrepreneur her whole life. This combination means people who have the ability to see the big picture and also know how and what it takes to have the little pieces in between all fit to bring to life what you envision for your build outs. They are incredibly reasonable in their pricing and they don't nickel and dime you for every little thing. Honestly, we are so incredibly lucky to have found them.
