Best Businesses in Hawaii

Carlos is an amazing, kind and friendly person PLUS he is a great plumber and communicator! He has done work on two properties we have lived in, one a historic home in Manoa and the other our condo in Waikiki. Both times he has listened carefully to our questions and has successfully addressed our needs (fixed toilet, unclogged drains, installed ice maker, and figured out sensor faucets), at reasonable rates. Furthermore, he has been helpful in helping us plan proactively so as to reduce future issues! Would recommend with A+ gold star ratings and our grateful appreciation. Mahalo!!!

I needed a repair for a clogged kitchen drain so I reached out to Tony through Yelp and he responding promptly. He was able to do you repair within a few hours from contacting him. He assessed the clog issue and took care of it within an hour. Very efficient and easy. The price was very reasonable and service was great. Whenever you're dealing with plumbing work you always want experience plumbers who are licensed; which Tony is. I'd definitely refer him to friends, family and clients of mine.

I was in need of a plumber and I came across their website from Google. Their website is what overall made me decide to give them a shot, it was a nice layout with a real professional theme to it. I was hoping for the best yet still a little skeptical inside (due to past experiences w/plumbers) All the toilets on the bottom floor were not flushing and I had no idea what to do. Luckily, OSCAR showed up and did a quick assessment of my problem. He was real professional and thorough while explaining to me how my plumbing works in detail to the point where even I could understand. He then gave me an estimate of the service he was going to provide (I like how he just didn't try to strong arm me into the job.. Once again... From past experiences) The service was superb!!! And as a single mother maintaining a home of 5.. he was helpful in answering all my lingering questions with all the plumbing problems I deal with on a daily basis. We even scheduled another appt for him to address a few of those problems.

So my first overall experience with this company was great. I'm just hoping it continues.. Cause I have been having real bad luck with not just plumbers, but men in general.. Haha joking. Thanks again Oscar

We have a plumbing emergency and needed a plumber.  It took an hour and a half for someone to get to me and then I was told no one was available today (Monday) or tomorrow and then I asked when someone would be available and was told that they are booked all week so they apologized and hung up without offering further assistance.

AMKO came to the rescue as Lowe's preferred plumbing installer.  We ordered a new shower enclosure through Lowe's several months ago but through a series of  unfortunate events (NO fault to AMKO) we've JUST had the correct enclosure delivered and installed.

The first visit by AMKO occurred over six weeks ago when Alex and his helper came to remove our existing shower enclosure.  They were prompt, punctual, friendly and efficient!  Alex was personable, knowledgeable and skilled in the quick removal of the shower stall.  What I really liked was they were considerate in removing their shoes and laid down a padded tarp on our bathroom tile floor to avoid scratching the finish.  AMKO was quick to verify and confirm the accuracy of measurements that were done by a previous installer.  Unfortunately, on this first visit, we discovered that the manufacturer had produced the wrong model and size so Alex and helper just removed the shower enclosure.

On the second visit, we were excited when Lowes scheduled AMKO to install the new shower enclosure order.  Again, Alex and helper came on time and we all figured this would close out our order and installation.  Well, lo' and behold, when Alex and helper opened the box, they found that the manufacturer had sent the same incorrect enclosure but this time, there were no hinges or handles...it was just a huge sheet of tempered glass!  Alex was surprised with the error and promptly returned the incorrect product to Lowes. Luckily, our home has other bathrooms so we could still bathe...uh, in case you thought that we weren't bathing in between. Ewww.

So, the expression third time's the charm is true (for us, at least).  We amicably worked with Lowes to correct the situation and Alex returned.  Gosh, after coming up to our home 3 times previously, he didn't need a GPS to find us.  He returned with another helper, Vladimir, and opened the manufacturer's box just outside of his van as we all looked on.  Hooray!  This time, the correct product was delivered.  Alex and Vladimir carried it up three flights of stairs and quickly installed our shower enclosure.  They made sure that they didn't leave a mess even though they had to do a couple of field cuts into the metal frame (they cut it outside in their van) and still vacuumed our bathroom floor and hallway before leaving.   Alex asked my husband to feel free to inspect the installation and his opinion for satisfaction.  Geez, we've not ever had a contractor ask that!  He even followed up (returned to our home) with us the next day, Saturday, to ensure their work quality and customer satisfaction.

AMKO is the plumbing contractor arm of Hawaii Building Supply which does excellent renovation work...ah, but that's another review.

Dependable
Handled toilet repair, toilet installation, shower and sink repair and kitchen insinkerator  disposal unit installation promptly and efficiently.  Pleasant and communicates well about the options and recommendations.  Saved us a good deal of money by his recommendations.
Would highly recommend!

Four stars for customer service! I was able to call Rayco and leave a message after hours yesterday. This morning I got a call from Richard asking to describe what the problem was and to send pictures of the toilet. He was very friendly and very quick to reply. Unfortunately our landlord has his own list of plumbers that he would prefer to use. If it weren't for our landlord, we would have definitely gone with Rayco's service. Amazing customer service!

Davey is an experienced professional who is neat, attentive and is thoughtful about his work.

Jeffrey was highly recommended by another business we were working with. He has years in the industry and it was the best experience. He has great communication skills, educates and answers all of your questions, and is so nice! And most importantly he knows what he's doing. His prices are reasonable compared to other plumbers we've worked with and we are grateful we found our plumber for our business! Highly recommend!

Mike was prompt, efficient, ready to answer any questions & did a great job. I'm trusting this company with household repairs or renovations.

Sean has done a lot of work for me.  Different kinds of jobs and all done well at a fair price and with great communication.  He has repaired a ceiling that was water damaged from a leaking toilet that was above.  He installed a disposal that required a complete re-work of all the plumbing.  He also hung a giant heavy picture over our bed and that was no easy task, trust me.

I find him and his associates to be trustworthy, fair, polite, and eager to do a good job no matter what it is.

Very responsive, honest and timely. We had an emergency and they empathized with our problems and made sure we were all good. Would recommend them absolutely!

We've used him twice and both times we were extremely satisfied. Fred, the owner, is licensed, responsive, and professional. We liked him as a person and would definitely recommend him.
Both times, several years apart, we had him replace faucets and there was never a problem.

Main thing I want to say is that if you call this company, MAKE SURE you ask them about all the additional charges that will probably added on top of the actual repair charges.  I had a plumber but the plumber I had scheduled couldn't do the job.  He referred Glen Fujigami/Alco Mechanical.  Glen knew that I was waiting for his plumbers, but I had to call him at least twice to follow up as to when they would arrive.  They arrived about an hour later than expected.  The repair went well and the plumbers seemed professional.  The problem started when I received the bill.  The original plumber had quoted me about $400-$450 to do the  job.  Alco's invoice was just over $700!!  The actual repair was about the same price as the original plumber.  But then there were charges for fringe benefits, payroll taxes and insurance, supervision, and even an overhead fee!  The only reason why I'm giving 2 stars and not 1 is that Glen worked something out and the plumbers did a good job.  However, bottom line is that I will not use this company again.

Our garbage disposal unit sprung a leak recently.  I left a message with Delta Plumbing in the late afternoon and received a reply later that evening.  Stanford showed up as planned mid-morning the following day and replaced our old unit.  I mentioned to him about the possibility of installing a main shut off valve in the garage.  He looked at the area of the regulator and explained what needed to be done.  Sounds like a plan, I'll call him back later to do the job. As always, do your homework before hiring a contractor.  I would highly recommend Delta for any of your plumbing needs.

American home shield sent these guys out to fix our problem. The owner Tui came out and fixed it same day. Excellent job and customer satisfaction guaranteed.

terrible experience, not recommended, much better at Diamond Head Plumbing!
