They charged much more than the original verbal estimate and I called them back for the work that they did but was still dripping, not working, not the product I requested!

Very disappointing and I recommend against!!!

We asked, and they said "one switch was for a fan light, and the other for the fan." Well, all our fans use remotes, so just need one switch. But did they ask us if we were going to use remotes. No! And then they wired the range so the wire didn't allow us to push the range back all the way. Dumb. We have solar with batteries, and even after we told them what should be hooked up to the batteries if the power goes out, they got it wrong. And some other issues that didn't make sense.

In December 2024, after waiting 9 months for permits, the house was framed. The plumber quickly did his part. Scott and I walked the house, I told him what I needed, and on January 20, 2025, sent him the plans. Initially, he said he had them; then I heard nothing more. He did not respond to texts or phone calls, I even taped a written request to contact me. I finally found him at his business, he said he would send me an estimate I then heard nothing for 3 weeks. In many texts, I asked him just to tell me if he was too busy. Today, I went to his business at 6:30 am, and asked him if wanted to do it. He told me I could "get in line" but it would be a long, long time If he had just responded to my texts, I could have found a new electrician and not have my house sit u touched since January. This is causing me to lose thousands on prolonged rent; fortunately my landlord is kind and won't evict me

Four years ago, Iwamoto's team added some wiring for my carport. We learned two months ago that…read morethey mis-wired the ground in a way that was not initially apparent, but slowly leading to catastrophe which began with flickering lights, then a sudden power surge which destroyed several appliances. When notified of the problem, Ross took full responsibility for the error, came by to fix what he could, and compensated me promptly for all damage. Even the best teams sometimes make mistakes; fessing up to them and making good on all consequences of it is absolutely top-notch professionalism. I would not hestitate to use Iwamoto again, or recommend their work to others.

We couldn't figure out the cause of that initially, Ross came over a few times promptly and tried diffeerent things. Still not working. Eventually he had thoroughly opened up all the fans and light fixes to check EVERYthing, and found a nail that went through one of the wires. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. Fixed it immediatedly, and didn't charge us for anything. A man of his word who really stands behind the quality of his team's work. Will definitely recommend for both skills and a great personality.

Unlike the rest, Skylar of HI Pressha responded right away with a reasonable quote. Throughout the bid process Skylar impressively kept the lines of communication flowing. Researching panel cleaning, I learned that soft bristle brushes as opposed to simply pure power washing or simply chemical application, is the correct method of cleaning without damaging the panels. Skylar has the knowledge, tools and skill-set to professionally clean solar panels. Of the respondents, Skylar's prices landed in the middle. The solar panels came out looking like new and my preliminary estimates (through the solar software) put charging recovery rates at a plus 30% on an overcast day. And yes, I would highly recommend Skylar of HI Pressha for professional solar panel cleaning if you're in the Hilo area.

He was consistently prompt, efficient, thorough, courteous, and a good communicator. When I found out what kind of work he could do, I also hired him to clean my mossy driveways. He clearly let me know what I could expect, and when it would be done, and DELIVERED on his promises, even finishing ahead of schedule. His cost was reasonable. He has the right equipment to do the job properly, and didn't leave any mess behind. He did a great job, and I highly recommend him!
