They finished everything in one day, cleaned up thoroughly, and even went the extra mile to paint the fence (which they don't do painting) so it would meet Mililani Town Association and AOAO requirements (which can be strict about uniformity). That extra effort made the whole process stress-free and awesome. The workmanship is solid -- our gate and fence are now sturdier than our association-built carport. Great communication, fair pricing, and true local customer service. Highly recommend supporting this small, locally owned business.

Hiring this company for our fence installation was a huge mistake. Communication was nonexistent…read morefrom the start -- no updates, no scheduling info, and no adherence to a time line. First we were quoted with 2-3 days. Day 3 came around and the crew didn't show up until 2pm and after a few hours left without a word. 3 days and still an incomplete fence. When calling the foreman who was supposedly in charge of the crew, he had no idea they left! When I asked for an explanation, I was told they had "prior commitments"! The end result was 5 days and still a terrible job. They treated our property with no respect at all. They ruined parts of our yard during the installation and, unbelievably, cleaned concrete tools and dumped the waste directly onto our lawn. Now we're left with dead grass and hardened concrete patches that we have to deal with ourselves. No one followed up after the job, and no one seems to care that they left a mess behind. There are plastic shavings all over my yard from cutting material where my dogs are. Completely unprofessional from beginning to end. When all these issues were brought up to the manager Ryan, the excuses were never ending. Not once did he take accountability for the workmanship or customer service. Save yourself the frustration and go with a company that actually communicates and respects your property.

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!
