Home Remodelers in Schofield Barracks

“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.”

“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.”

“Louis takes pride in his work. He is reliable and honest in his estimates. When I refer him to my friends and clients, I know they will be in good hands.”

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

“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.”

“We hired BKC to do our major house renovation. We could not be happier with the results. I am a details kind of guy. Brett and his crew (in particular, Matt- the foreman) took tremendous pride in their work, and the results reflect their attention to detail. They were always very responsive to our calls, emails etc. They finished the project on time, and within budget. We liked them so much, we hired them again to do another project after the first one was completed.”

“Bill Benjamin is brilliant when working with clients. He is the only architect in Honolulu who will fully collaborate with clients and not impose his artistic views as is the case with many other local architects. He is also highly intelligent and can solve many problems of design and construction that other architects have problems with.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”
