Mel Furtado

I've been living with a sink base cabinet that was completely water damaged and falling apart as well as a defunct dishwasher because I thought it would be too costly to replace. Well, one day I decided to get a couple of quotes. Mel was very friendly, helpful and took the time to explain everything to me. The other guy that gave me a quote literally was there for 2 minutes and was yawning the entire time. He was so rude and quoted me $800 more than Mel! Mel's quote was very reasonable and he made sure we took care of all the little details He worked hard to get the job done and also made sure to keep me updated on the progress. He told me that he would try to save me as much money as possible and he did! The entire job was done for less than originally quoted! I've worked with other hourly workers who purposefully try to get the most money and will linger around just to make more time. Mel did not do that and worked to complete the job in a timely manner. He made me feel at ease and made me feel like he not only cared about the work he was doing, but also cared about me as a customer as well. I trust Mel and the work he does. I couldn't be happier with the job Mel did and would recommend him to anyone. In fact, I've already told a couple of people to use him for their handyman jobs!

First experience with Mel and I was very satisfied with the work her did. We had a faucet leaking in our bathroom and Mel made the time in his busy schedule to fit us in. The work was very clean and done quickly. Definitely recommend calling Mel if you need some work done around the house. Price was right too.

I called Mel last minute to rescreen my screen doors that my dog ripped up. He was vey accommodating & helped me out last minute. He was very professional & did an excellent job. Will definitely use his services again!

I had a small electrical home repair. When I called around, not too many people wanted to take my job or was not able to provided services the day of.
Dave willing took my job, came within 1 1/2 hours of my call, provided valuable advice, and completed the repair within 1 hour. Reasonably priced, trust worthy, professional, highly recommended!

Very thankful to find Mel. We have a restaurant in Windward Mall and had an issue with one of the drains. Mel took a look at it for us that night and resolved it by the next day. Very transparent and a fair with the pricing and labor and did a great job. Thanks Mel!

mel is about the best as it gets, as he is always busy but manages to come to our homes to address any problems rhat we've had. thanks mel for everything!

Mel did a fabulous job repairing my sink.He also cleared the drain, which turned out to be clogged. Very professional work. I will definitely call him for install new flooring. Mahalo Mel!

This was the second plumber i tried to call for some repair work and i have no idea how these guys get 5 star ratings when they won't even return my call to request an appointment to fix my leaking shower.  I gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried calling them twice in a week's period but still nada.  Good grief, if they won't even return a call for new work, can you imagine how it will be if you have to call them back for warranty repair?

I hired Mel to install a small kitchen in my condo hotel. When he finished the job the microwave door opens only half way and doesn't look good at all. I upgraded another condo unit with a kitchen identically with a kitchen cabinet supplier company. I saved almost half off in labor and didn't have to make on trip to lowers every second of the day like I did with Mel. The only thing good that came out of using Mel was getting introduced to the kitchen supplier company.  This guy also charged over 1000 dollars finding shorts in the wiring which I know was total bullshit. The company who did my other two kitchens didn't have any shorts nor did I have to do any type of rewiring. My biggest mistake was hiring this guy on an hourly wage of 25 an hour which will never happen again. Better you go hire a real contractor for 400 a day and get the job done three times faster and done properly than trying to be clever and pay 240 a day and have him take three times longer which in the end will cost you double. I'm not even going to get into the tile work but thank god I managed to find a time installer who ended up being my tenant getting the job done for 70 percent less than what Mel would have ended up costing me. All I can say is never ever again. I will post my receipts to show a comparison so you can see for yourself. Mel if you want this off you need to come fix this microwave you screwed up, it's the least you can do. People if you want to hire a handyman don't pay them hourly because they will come waste your time bullshiting for doing tasks like figuring out how to arrange your kitchen taking hours when the kitchen company that I hired came out and did that for free. What am I f$$king crazy to pay three times more for labor and on top I have to waste my fu$$$ing day driving back and fourth to Home Depot to get him supplies??? Don't make the same mistake I did. Never pay them hourly because you will lose in the end I promise you that. Pass this guy up and go get a real contractor for 400 or hell even 500 for the day you will get a better job and still pay less. My stupidity and greed got the better of me in this case and never again will I ever get taken. If you have any questions about incident please feel free to text me.

Mel and his team are wonderful. We had a long list of things that we needed done from installing air conditioners, a hot tub, a new fence and more. The work was excellent and they are very responsive. Whatever challenge we threw at them, they were able to make it work. Highly recommend them.  Also nice that they do everything from construction to plumbing and electric so did not have to find 3 different people to get the work done.

Mel and his brother Dave are top notch people. Besides being professional, personable, knowledgeable and hard working, you have got to check out Mel's van. He stocks the most tools, gadgets and supplies I have ever seen. Mel's brother Dave helps on jobs. Dave is very efficient and provides lots of valuable advice. Dave helped with a lot of complicated electrical work and he worked overtime to get it done. I was impressed at how hard working these brothers are.

Mel was given the tough tasks of rebuilding a kitchen cabinet sink base to fit an ultra heavy / high-end farm apron sink. It was a retrofit of cabinets I cannot order more of and he made ever cut with precision. The final product looks like it came from the factory. If any of you buy a farm sink, you will understand how difficult it is to install and appreciate Mel's expertise. It is very rare to find such good men and you bet they are helping me with more renovation projects on my fixer upper.
