Strong stuff... When…read moreyou get crafty many times I head to the hardware store as what I call beginner tools aren't just enough like I have my Dremel to drill, PVC pipes to make a photo backdrop, chains for a makeshift lock as being creative not only does saves you money but solves issues in the simplest ways that works. Today it was a simple just some acetone as I wanted to wipe off paint and the basic store bought stuff just won't do it and as small as this shop seems to be they do have it all and was very easy to find than the larger ones as it literally took me a minute to find it and a minute to reach to the register without a wait and was on my way faster than taking the needed pics to show off this great Kailua location. If needed staff is very easy to find here but as I knew exactly what I wanted it was okay and parking in the back is spacious with short walks to the automatic doors is just nice to have a quick spot to find exactly what you need without being lost as I finished my project so easily. Thank you!

My favorite local Hardware Store where "Customer First" is more than their saying!…read more It's in their doing! Customer Service is their passion! I always feel at home as I roam the aisles.

We contacted Ohana Building Supply via email and Ethan responded. He came did an evaluation of our home of what we wanted done. Within a week he sent us a quote and we decided to proceed.

The workers are very experienced and fast. We were very impressed and extremely satisfied with how everything turned out. For our next project we will definitely be reaching out to Ethan.

As a consumer, I don't like the hard sell, so I really appreciated the approach at Paradise…read moreFlooring. They were helpful, knowledgable, informative, and patient with me as I struggled between a couple of options. They were able at help me look for carpeting that fit my needs, without making me feel pushed - or like I was getting the hard sell. They were able to tell me what they had in stock, and for choices that were not readily available, how quickly these could be shipped to Hawaii. And...they were nice about everything...When I had questions about the process, they responded to my e-mails in a very timely manner. Paradise did not do the carpet installation themselves, but they were able to provide me with contact information for vendors that they had vetted and found to be reliable. This was very helpful - as the vendor I chose was one of their recommendations, and he was also very good.

We had a fantastic experience working with Lance from Paradise Flooring. From day one, he was…read moreresponsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We had originally been leaning toward LVP after seeing so many Instagram videos saying it was the way to go, but Lance suggested the Bravewood hardwood hybrid line -- and we're so glad he did. It wasn't something we had on our radar, but the quality and look ended up being exactly what we wanted. It's beautiful in person and feels really solid underfoot. Lance helped us lock in the right materials -- even securing low-stock items in advance -- and gave clear, honest insights into the differences between flooring types and carpet fibers. He also ordered samples for us right away so we could see everything in person, which made the decision process a lot easier. He even helped coordinate with our flooring installer, which saved us time and made the whole process feel more seamless. Lance was always on top of things -- following up, sharing timelines, and making sure we felt supported every step of the way. Even little details like stair nosing preferences were handled with care. Payment and logistics were smooth, and overall, Lance made what could have been a stressful part of the renovation feel really manageable. Highly recommend Lance and Paradise Flooring -- professional, easy to work with, and genuinely wants to help you make the best choice for your home. Mahalo again, Lance!

After accepting their estimate and service time, I received a call from Makana who acquired the necessary information and told me that Jeremy will be doing the service and his service history. I asked for his number, as I don't answer calls that aren't in my phone contacts. She obliged. Jeremy called about 15 minutes before the appointment to advise that they are on their way and they were running a bit behind. He then called when he arrived with Joshua (his assistant). Both had their masks on when they arrived and honored social distancing. Jeremy tried the key first and lubricated the keyhole. When all attempted tries didn't work, he had to change out the lock. The work was neatly done and cleaned up. Great work and service! Reasonable price, too!

The price for small two inch pot was $3 as of this writing which is cheaper than what you can find in town as they are the growers/caretakers. Lynn (I think that is how you spell her name) is great. She is very customer service oriented and will only sell you the best that she has. You can pre-order how many succulents you want for events and she will set them aside/take care of them for you until the day of your event. She is also very knowledgeable about the plants and in general has a good energy and easy to talk to. The location is behind a gated area, so you need to call the number to get in. She takes cash, credit card (for a fee), and Venmo for payment. Overall, I love that I was able to support this small business and get quality succulents for my events. Mahalo!
