Kama'aina Handyman

We just started a full kitchen renovation and significant termite damage was found on the walls behind the cabinets and appliance. Less than 24 hours William came to the rescue. He was very quick and efficient! Our renovation wasn't delayed due to timely and excellent service! Thank you!!!

I've hired Kama'aina Handyman for two projects so far. In both experiences they've done just a fantastic job. Very Impressed with their services!

-Easy to contact with very prompt response times.
-Polite, friendly attitudes from Joe, Elon, and Jovan.
-Craftsmanship and attention to detail with woodworking are top-notch.
-Showed up and finished on time.

I will say on the second job, after opening up our wall, they realized it was a bit more work than they initially anticipated. But like true professionals, they got it done. Glad we chose to invest with these guys. Highly recommended and will definitely be contacting them again for any future projects.

Mahalo!

I contacted them through Yelp for an AC replacement. They responded fast, were upfront about the fees, gave me an accurate estimate based on photos, and got the job done quickly. Very satisfied.

There was one thing left not completed and they came out when I reported it and fixed it without further charges or questions.

I am very happy with their service.

I totally agree with Bill R. Is price a consideration? If so, I would not recommend Kamaaina Handyman.

I was charged $63.03 for tile adhesive. The adhesive I purchased was not the right kind so he went to buy the adhesive, which took him an hour (I live right up the street from Home Depot, PC). It came out to $14.77 PER tile for gluing back my existing 22 wall tiles, or $324.83 total.

Especially to mature homeowners:
Be discerning with the term ""handyman,"" so you can distinguish the kind of person you need. Get an estimate by the job rather than by the hour. The hourly charge can be very reasonable, i.e., $125, but the use of time, and materials purchased on your time, is not within your control, and neither is the final charge. In other words, if the job is too open-ended, the deal is effectively closed.

When I inquired about lowering their price, I was told that I would get a call back on 1/29 or 1/30, and never heard back from them since.

However, I would anticipate a response to this review. If so, I stand by my Yelp credentials for over 8 years. A 1-star is an extreme rarity in my history.

Caveat emptor, buyer beware!

Joseph was prompt professional and did an amazing job fixing all our shower valves! Highly recommend Joseph! Will use again for sure! Much mahalos to joseph and his team!

Very friendly staff.  However, service (patio door and window repair) is on the expensive side.  In one instant, damaged the deck despite repeated warning to put padding when working on the door.

Comparable quality of service as to other handyman used that are much cheaper.  Inefficient scheduling and also poor handoff communication when the work requires multiple days and different staffing members.  For example, had a hard time scheduling follow-up service when first day's work was left partially unfinished.  Also, what was purchased and what work was done was not communicated between the technicians from different days.  Quite a bit of paid time spent on inter-technician debate and coordination.  Some techs simply stand around observing the other techs or make phone calls after tasks are finished for extended periods of time, despite plenty of cleanup that needs to be done (minimal cleanup after job is finished unless instructed to do so).

Overall a plus in terms of the personalities of the technicians, but could use better high-level management.

Have been using Joe and company for several years and for any kind of task. Joe has been the very best in quality, reliability and ability to solve any odd task. I often ask for advice and have been offered advice that always have been proven to had the most desirable outcome. He looks out for you and your interest. But also the level of respect and friendliness is unmatched. I can trust them to my home at any time and would let them in even when I'm not home. Cannot recommend Kamaaina handyman highly enough...truly!

Appreciate Joseph for quick response..unfortunately, I wasn't able to schedule him at this time..Had someone who was able to take the project sooner. Mahalo..true trooper

Jovan did a good job. Both he and Gindi were responsive and reliable. Jovan did have to return the following day because the toilet had a small leak, but he returned the next day and addressed the issue. Kudos for a timely resolution. Very professional and kind - something the industry lacks.

I needed a garbage disposal replaced. This was the second time I have benefitted from the services of Kama'aina Handyman. Both experiences exceeded my expectations. Efficiently and effectively done at a reasonable rate! I would recommend them to others and use them again if needed.
