They do an amazing job and most importantly, they think ahead and on behalf of you. When you work with contractors or handymen, very often, you have to supervise and watch their every move and tell them what to do. Not with Robin and Tina. You're hiring and working with thinkers because Rob is an attorney by training and Tina has been an entrepreneur her whole life. This combination means people who have the ability to see the big picture and also know how and what it takes to have the little pieces in between all fit to bring to life what you envision for your build outs. They are incredibly reasonable in their pricing and they don't nickel and dime you for every little thing. Honestly, we are so incredibly lucky to have found them.

Hardward store/general store in Volcano…read more Good place to get basic supplies if you don't want to drive all the way to Keau or Hilo. Also convenient hours as other businesses in the area have limited open times. On the general store side (front of the store), there are several shelves of canned goods, cookies, candies and other snacks. They also had bottled water, etc. There are also refrigerated and frozen food cases with milk, juice, ice cream, frozen pizza, etc. There is a also a pretty sizable selection of souvenirs. Convenient for the many visitors/tourists in the area. We didn't spend much time on the hardware side. We actually came looking for some firewood, but it looked well stocked with basic hardware items - like paints, tools, etc. Interestingly, the glass case at the front register was filled with smoking paraphernalia for those who are so inclined. Definitely a one-stop-shop for your smoking, snaking, gifting and fixing needs!

There's a catch - HPM claims warranty- 35 years? No way! Hawaii has acid rain. Hawaii has salt, there's no way the roofing from HPM had lasts that long - Im roofing AGAIN- same material same manufacturer- the only way you'll get close to that life is on a sample indoors in a show room. Just sayin. This is 2016, Last HPM on same property was 1993 so 23yrs not too shabby, and maybe a few years over due, but it's not 35. HPM, please revise your statements to be realistic. Twenty years isn't bad for what some call "tin" roof -but at best it's 20- not 35. Hawaiis growing again. Newcomers moving from homes with ceramic, tar shingle and other products unfamiliar with Hawaiis "tin roof houses".

I was on the hunt for Culantro plant for my mom. We searched all over while shopping for veggie plants back on Oahu. Excited, I asked my hubby to take me to the Garden Exchange, I could have walked over but didn't know it was so close by, one street over from the Farmer's Market. FYI- Parking is located on the other side/back of Garden Exchange not on the main street. I asked a kind staff to guide me to where the Culantro were and killed 2 birds with one stone, I also asked if they have any Hoya plants. I loved looking at the plant selection they have. I ended up with 2 Culantro and came across a beautiful Hoya plant on trellis and for such a great price, I had to get it. Happy with my Hoya plant and culantro for my momma during this visit. I wasn't sure if it would clear agriculture inspection back at the airport, but glad it did. Not sure why the low ratings but I loved my first time visit, I LOVE plants, staff that helped me were all so friendly. Garden Exchange is a well established gardening store, located in Hilo with history dating back to 1964. Make a stop here for your garden needs, super huge store! Keep in mind, Plants are All Sales Final!! I hope there will be more Hoya and hope they have more selections when I visit again.
