Best Remodeling in Honolulu HI

Wife burnt the laminate countertop at the sinkbase of our rental. We are moving out and working hard to get our deposit back. With less than a week to turn over the property I was hard pressed to find a way to repair the countertop. I called several handyman services and most said the entire countertop needs to be replaced. I called BLS, described the damages, emailed photos, and was surprised when Ben said he was confident that he can repair it. He did say it may not be perfect. He quoted a fee over the phone. His bid was tremendously fair.
The next day Ben came to the property and worked on it for a few hours. Came back the following day and finished in about an hour and a half. The end result is truly impressive. The damaged area is hardly visible. You wouldn't know it even existed. Thanks Ben!

GP&E Consultants is a great company and Sid is so personable and professional. I had Sid's company re-do my kitchen on an extremely tight timeline and he and his company did high quality work on time and on budget.

The project included a complete gut of the existing kitchen, installation of new cabinets, countertops, back splashes, water heater, painting and flooring ... all in 16 calendar days.

I couldn't ask for more and was extremely pleased with their work. I would recommend his company to anyone that wants quality work done quickly and at a reasonable price.

So happy to meet these guys as they're awesome people, but Sonny is also a real professional. The work he did for my home was clean, quick, and better than expected. Highly recommended, thanks for the great work

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.

Great customer service, called them and got a free estimate to do a half bathroom toilet and vanity sink remodel! Morgan and his crew came to help us remodel our half bathroom and they definitely went above and beyond for us. they added molding around my vanity and painted even though it wasn't in their contract. They really take great care of our home, they protected the floors and cleaned up real well after the one day remodel was complete. Thank you so much for your service!

My husband and I decided to remodel our kitchen during this pandemic to keep ourselves busy and to update our 17 year old kitchen.  I contacted Rudy and he and his team did a fantastic job! Rudy replaced all my countertops to Quartz countertops, installed a new sink and faucet and also installed my new range and microwave (where he routed the air vent outside to the patio).  The new island countertop is a foot longer and also extends 6 inches wider so he had to custom build a support base which added more support to hold up the new HEAVY island top! These photos show the before and after look.  As you can see, Rudy and his team did an AWESOME JOB!!  We plan to do other home rennovation projects in the near future and will definitely call 'Rudy and Design back again!  Rudy is so knowledgable and has over 30 years of experience! He not only can do plumbing work but is also a very skilled carpenter as well! He does excellent work and is very thorough. We are extremely happy with what he has done for us! Highly recommend!!!

i cannot and will not ever recommend waialae plumbing.  if i could give no stars, i would.

i wish, i would have read the negative reviews this company has on yelp. had i, i would have never used this plumbing company.  there is something to be said when you consistently have negative reviews and have customers as upset and as angry as myself.  

i was charged close to $500.00 for a job that should have cost less than $200.00.  i had 2 water stop valves replaced, the valves cost $20.00 (that's retail, i'm sure they get theirs at wholesale).  i had origianlly asked that only the cold water stop valve be replace because of a very small leak but the call taker recommended that i replace both the hot and cold water valves at the same time.  thinking this was an honest and fair company, i humbly took their advice.  i should have become suspicious when i asked for an estimate and i was not given a definitive answer.
the total job took less than 1 hour (more like 30 minutes) but i was charged for 2.5 hours of work.  plumbers in hawaii make on average $10.00-$39.00/hour. no matter how i calculate it, there is no way the bill should be what it was.  they knew i was in a predicament and they totally took adavange of it.  i got 3 other estimates afterwards from licensed plumbers and it ranged from $140.00 to $180.00 to do the same job.  they charged me triple for doing the same job.  i was going to let this go, however when i mention what had transpired at a dinner with my relatives and local friends, they insisted that i file a formal complaint so no other residents of hawaii will experience what i went through. i filed a complaint with the bbb, john the owner, wrote to me saying it was petty that i made a complaint.  i don't know about everyone else but $500.00 is not petty to me by any means.

there are many honest and reasonable plumbers on oahu.  wailalae plumbing is not one of them.  i pleaded with the owner john to rectify this but he refused and said, let this be a learning experience. he claimed that no one put a gun to my head and made me accept the work that was to be performed and i should have declined the work if i thought it was too expensive....
not to worry john, this was a very expensive and disappointing experience for me, i feel like i was taken advantage of.  i will make sure to reciprocate this.  hawaii is an island with a tight knit network of family, relatives, friends and co-workers.  you will not get away with your condescending and patronizing attitude as well as your predatory business practices.  word gets out fast, hopefully no one else will have to go through what i did and have to go through the disappointment and anger i and others have experienced because of you.  in my opinion, you sold your soul to the devil john, just to make a little coin. i hope you're happy and can look at yourself in the mirror every day knowing how many people dispise you and your business ethics.

btw, i had met john initally because i was going to do a remodel (he does remodels as well) and i had him come by to give me an estimate.  when i met him, he asked what my budget was....i should have been wary from that point on.  every contractor i interviewed (i interviewed over 10 contracts), asked what i wanted done and then they proceeded to give me an estimate.  he's the only one that asked what my budget was.  he was trying to figure out how much he could squeeze out of me. he went on to boast how he owned 9 homes in new hampshire.  in retrospect that explains everything as to why john does business the way he does; he looks for victims that are in a predicament and then charges exorbitant prices so he can be a slum lord back home. you cannot get away with charging triple and think word is not going to get out, especially here in hawaii.
there so many other honest and fair
plumbers here in hawaii....

thanks for the learning experience johnny boy! i hope you get chased out of hawaii!

Appreciated timely communication via text. Estimate realistic. Termite repair spot on! Friendly contractor. On time, on budget, great service - what else could a person ask for! I will recommend this company to friends and will use them again, as needed.

I had a toilet leak. He was Very quick to respond, reliable, and very Reasonable pricing! I definitely  will go to him for all my plumbing needs.

A+ as far as home maintenance goes. Extremely professional.
Excellent communication.
Trustworthy, friendly, clean.
Emerson didn't rush the job (installation of two ceiling fans) and took the time to make sure the installation was solid and working correctly, before accepting payment. Do not hire him if you want a rush job. That is not what he is about. He is about quality work, not shoddy or rushed. Ekahi Home Improvement is the only one I need for all my home maintenance needs. Next job, water heater flush.

Frank service is impeccable. He came on time he was well prepared he took care of the repair as if it was his own. I was very impressed. I've had some nightmare experiences with  Handyman before. I will be recommending Frank to all of my friends and business associates.

So our shower head was leaking and leaking quite a bit, called leaks r us and got an appt by the next morning. Tim came out and did a great job. Not only professional but friendly and explained everything. I'll definitely use this business again!

I just needed a simple rewiring of a 220v outlet to 120v. Well, not quite so simple, considering the washer/dryer in front of the outlet had to be moved out of the closet first.

Alex looked at the outlet (behind the washer) and gave me a quote within minutes. Since his company did work in the building before, I didn't have to go through the hassle of submitting the license and insurance required by building management. Alex and his team completed the work within an hour the same week, at a reasonable price (neither the highest or the lowest).

I'm happy to discontinue using an extension cord for the washer/dryer unit.

We met Joey a year ago when we first moved here.
Thank God we did because he has done virtually everything that needed fixing  and upkeep in our home. Painting, building, fence installation, new stairs, added a french drain, electrical and everything in between.
When he painted our deck he suggested that we use paint that had sand in it so it wouldn't be slippery for my kapuna mother.  We really appreciated that,
and would have never thought of that on our own!
We had a flood in our garage and Joey came up and loaned us his big fans and suggested a French drain around the garage. After he installed it our garage never flooded again.  He  helped us move into a new place a year later, he built us a shed for storage before we arrived at the new house so we had a place to store everything as well as installing our fences  and gates so that our dogs would always be safe. when my mother ended up in the hospital during our move Joey and his guys came after hours and finished unpacking her room and hanging her art so that it would be nice for her when she came home.
also we had a fine art piece that had to be dismantled and reinstalled at our new location there is literally nobody else we would trust than Joey and Evan.
Joey and his team actually care about the work that they do. they have consistently done excellent work for us. they are very fair with the pricing as well. He has a team of plumbers, electricians, and builders, which makes it
easy to do one stop shopping. They do everything!
It is so great to know that we have somebody that we can count on not only to do good work but to show up on time, and get jobs done and done right. These guys have worked outdoors in the rain to get things done for us in a timely manner:)

When the guys were painting our deck we had to do some color matching for an extra spot. When the color didn't match properly Joey insisted on repainting the entire deck so that it would be perfect ( for no extra charge) because he cared about us having it done correctly.  

Thank you so much to five star they really do deserve the name!

DHP is the best.  I thought I could replace a 60 year old valve myself, but I couldn't get the old crusty one free.  Cooper and his team not just helped me with my DIY questions but then again when I failed and needed a pro's (Kevin's) help to do the job properly.  I highly recommend this very professional local company.

Do not call this plumber!!  He is rude, absent-minded, and doesn't care if he gets additional business (or at least he said so doing our conversation.)

I dialed the phone number listed under another company (a company that has the same two first letters in its name) on this site.  This other company obviously had a very good rating but had the wrong phone number listed (D's Plumbing's phone number.)  This was Monday in which he didn't identify his company name when he answered, said he would call me back later that morning with a quote, and never did.  

I called the number again two days later (thinking it was the other company with 5 star reviews)  He rudely tells me that he already gave me a quote, in fact, insists that he did.  I told him that I've been calling around for quotes so to identify his company name.  D's Plumbing did not ring a bell at all to me and why should it?  The only other review other than the one I am writing now has one star!!  

Knowing that I didn't intend to call D's Plumbing, I explained to him that his phone number is listed under the other company.  He tells me he is aware of this and that the other company is using his phone number.  He then said he is going to have the other company investigated.  This guy is crazy!!
