Home Remodelers in Aiea

“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.”

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

“Robert is the owner of This company called Bob Mahalo. I am not a contractor, therefore I seeked Robert's advice on his expertise regarding what repairs I should do without going over my head in expenses. The magic he did was amazing and at a reasonable cost. Following his advice along the way as to how to renovate my unit was remarkable for the price. The outcome was: The first family that walked through my unit offered me $10,000.00 more than what we asked. SOLD and we are closed. We are pleased.”

“Outstanding work, very friendly crew, very neat and clean and finished on time. Am very satisfied with job. Will be having Josh Design do our entire upstairs expansion and remodel in early 2016.”

“Keith and his team were extremely dedicated to the quality and aesthetic of our home renovation. We wanted help to modernize our main floor and make it more functional for our family. Their expert guidance, advice, responsiveness, and attention to detail throughout the whole process were spot on and we are thrilled with the outcome.”

“We loved working with Layout Etc! The design was exactly what we had envisioned and better. And the quality of work and professionalism of the execution was top of the line! We highly recommend Layout Etc as the best in the Hawaiian islands.”

“We hired Envision Design Build to help us design our kitchen remodel in conjunction with a large sliding glass door. We knew we wanted to open up the kitchen, add an island and create an indoor/outdoor feel and accessibility to the backyard patio. Envision took the time to create a plan that not only worked well within the space, but also worked best for our family. The project came out better than we could have imagined! Many thanks Gazelle & Parker!”

“We had a great experience with Phillip White, Laura Ayers and staff when building our new home in Manoa. They are professional, friendly, responsive to our needs as well as giving us superb ideas for the creation of our new home. They worked as a positive team, that really got along on all levels. Their working environment made us feel comfortable and welcome. We highly recommend them for any new clients/projects.”

“Victor "Dean" Sinco is an excellent architect and he has an excellent team of drafts-people at Entheos. He is both creative and practical. He comes up with ideas that look good but are also cost-effective. He knows how to make new construction match original construction. He is great at supervising the work and coming up with solutions on the spot for any problems. He has always responded to me in a timely way. He has done both large and small projects for me. For one large project, he designed a guest suite addition to my house that added a laundry, kitchen, and screened porch to an existing bedroom and bath. At the same time he designed a roof extension, a new laundry room plus a solar water heater room, and a complete renovation of two bathrooms, one of them handicap. A few years later, he turned a walk-in closet into a half-bath plus a smaller closet and turned garage storage into interior storage. Recently, he designed a fence, gate, and lanai for me. I will continue to use him for any future projects.”

“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.”
