House Framing Services in Whitmore Village, HI

“Outstanding quality, breadth of expertise, attention to detail, speed and professionalism. By far the best contracting team we have worked with.”

“Luke Stensland (H1 Construction) & Ryan Fujita (Fujita & Netski Architecture) commenced planning and construction of a total remodel of my 2 bedroom Yacht Harbor Towers condo in February 2014. After initial discussions of the design concept, Ryan drew detailed drawings of the project suitable for town planning approval while Luke applied for the necessary permits and go ahead from Yacht Harbor Towers HOA. Luke was able to work with the challenges of dealing with the HOA and of a project in a down town high rise. The remodel included complete re-wiring, re- plumbing, hardwood flooring, custom cabinetry and painting throughout. In addition all new appliances were installed. As I live in Southern California, trust and communication were particularly important during the project. As with any large project unexpected situations arise and Luke put forward ideas to achieve the best final result. There were many decisions to be made during the construction and decorating fazes and Ryan was invaluable in keeping design consistency. The final results of the extensive custom cabinetry and feature tile work exceeded my expectations and gave the condo the “wow" factor I was looking for. Finding the right team and good fit can be challenging in Hawaii, Luke and Ryan are a young professional team who work well together and made the project an enjoyable experience. I would definitely work with them again.”

“They did an excellent job. Mike and John were punctual and worked quickly and efficiently. They made our one bathroom so nice that we asked them to do our second bathroom right on the spot. They did this for us. They made sure we were happy with the results and included us in every step of the process.”

“We hired Hills Home Remodeling to gut and remodel our kitchen, rebuild an old lanai into a great room, and build a covered front porch, among other smaller jobs at our Kailua home. They recently finished and we are thrilled with the results. I really appreciated that they could help us with design ideas at any part of the process while still respecting our personal tastes. Jason Hills is such a skilled carpenter that he can build anything custom for you to make your house work just right for you. At the same time, he is happy to install pre-built items such as cabinets to suit the customer's needs. The company has relationships with a variety of sub-contractors in Kailua, so it was easy to get every part of the job arranged. The company is also really kid-friendly, very considerate of having children who are living amongst a home remodel, and also thinking about kid-friendly design. I also appreciated that they always cleaned up at the end of the day. I highly recommend this company.”

“Mali Bella competed our lanai addition. They did full service permits and build out using Trex and wood rails. We also added a hot tub and needed to properly engineer the weight load. They not only managed the whole project, but made suggestions to improve the design for a better end-use. The pricing was right on target with other bids, but because Joe Megill was able to make creative suggestions to make the end-use better, I feel like we really got our money's worth. I would add that our timeline was pushed back, but in this market it's tough to have projects come in right on time. As a Realtor, I've also recommended Mali Bella to my clients. Mali Bella adds the creative touch to help you achieve what you want. Hire them if you can, it will be worth it.”

“We are a building materials supplier and have worked with Nick and his team at Ko'olau Builders on several projects. They are top notch professionals, competent, organized, creative with high attention to detail and quality. We have the pleasure of working with many of the Islands best contractors and would definitely recommend Ko'olau as one of the top.”

“I know how stressful it is finding and contractor, so I wanted to share my experience with others so that they can make a more informed decision. When we decided to tear down and rebuild our home in Kaimuki, we met with five contractors. All of them had great ideas but each were different in their approach – some more pushy, a few seemed too busy or apathetic, and only one was real down to earth and made us feel like they had our best interest at heart – Atlas. For example, the Project Manager (Nathan) was very concerned about keeping us within our budget so that our mortgage payments would be manageable as opposed to building a house that would maximize the contract price (it seemed that way with some of the other contractors). What also really impressed us were all the complimentary comments that were made by their clients during our site visit to other projects that were in progress or competed. Their vendors and subs thought very highly of them too! They accommodated every request we had, allowed us to build the home we wanted (not according to their specifications), and were transparent about the process, costs (no mysterious change orders or nickel and diming), and timeline. They treated our Project as if it were their own and provided us recommendations during the design AND BUILD process. To those looking for someone to build their dream home, my recommendation would be the same: Find someone you feel comfortable with because there are so many decisions to be made from beginning to end and you want a partner that you can trust that will help guide you and also be fair with you when the inevitable obstacles occur (which it will). We love the home they built for us two years ago and are glad we picked a contractor that was a pleasure to work with. Atlas built our home and a lasting relationship with my family as well. To this day, if I ever need any assistance or advice for my home (solar, new fence, leaking washer), I can pick-up the phone and call Bruce (the owner) and he sends someone right away to kokua.”

“We did a full remodel on my parents home which included removing walls and redoing the kitchen, changing out the flooring, redoing three bathrooms. It was a daunting task, but Max walked us through every step of the way. His team was always professional and courteous on site. Most importantly, we stayed on budget and on time! Excellent experience with Omega Builders from start to finish. We always recommend them to family and friends!”

“Dave hires good, experienced workers who know what they are doing. Generally, he is good to work with and honest. No surprises.”

“They were very professional & answered all my questions. They also followered up after our initial appointment both with email and phone calls. Unfortunately we had to put our remodeling project on hold so we have not used their actual services.”
