Their quote was precise and they asked the right questions to make sure our project goals were met. The AOAO Board was especially pleased with the value we received. We weren't looking for low bid but we were looking for done properly and affordably. HI Grade Masonry hit the target. It was a small project and they did exactly what we needed and wanted. Suli made sure that his crew went the extra mile to get the project done right and done quickly. Thanks HI Grade! The Royal Queen Emma building appreciates you!

Most companies suggested to put vinyl fencing in the back and repair the front. We obtained several quotes and decided to go with HI Grade Masonry. They were not the lowest but my mom had a good vibe with Suli so we went ahead with them. From start to finish she kept raving about how impressed she was with their work ethic and professionalism. They did an excellent job on the wall(s) and, aside from their warm aloha and "care for kupuna", what she appreciated most was how they were very good about clearing out the bricks and cleaning everything up! She is very particular about people's work ethic and she is a clean freak so that says a lot about their work!

I hired Blessed Construction LLC to build a retaining wall in my front yard, and I'm really happy…read morewith how everything turned out. The area next to the steps and along the front of the house needed a retaining wall to hold the soil and clean up the slope. Their crew came out, walked the space with me, and explained how they would build the wall and shape the curve so it would look natural with the yard and the house. They also talked about the base and drainage so it would hold up long-term. The work itself was done efficiently and the crew was easy to work with. They prepped the base, set the blocks carefully, and made sure the curve of the wall flowed nicely along the front of the yard instead of just building a straight line. They kept the job site pretty clean and checked in along the way to make sure everything looked right. The finished wall looks great and really improves the front of the house. It's solid, level, and the curve gives the landscaping a much cleaner look than what was there before. Overall, a very positive experience. If you need retaining wall or landscaping work done, Blessed Construction LLC is definitely worth considering.

Blessed Construction was one of several additional companies that Yelp sent my request to & they are also guaranteed by Yelp. I didn't hear back from some & others ghosted me.

Needless to say, his plan was pretty epic & I can't be happier!! He kept me updated every step of the way. Efoti & his crew were professional & respectful and were very careful to keep things clean and organized. They deserve 10 stars and I highly recommend this company for creating a beautiful space in your yard.

I narrowed it down to 2 companies and when I met with Sione's dad William, I was so impressed by his style and level of expertise in inspecting my wall. He started the business over 40 years ago and had prior rockwall experience in Inglewood California before moving to beautiful Hawaii. William was very sincere and patient in explaining to me the condition of my wall and what needed to be done. He reminded me of my dad who also started his business over 40 years ago in residential construction. Later, I met with owner Sione who I originally spoke with over the phone when scheduling the first consultation. Sione is well-spoken, and as busy as he is -- I appreciate him staying in communication via text or answering my call since other rockwall companies fell short. Sione grew up with many years in the rockwall business and learned from his family. Sione was also willing to work with my budget and I understood the high quality of work I'd receive from All Phase. Quality matters and this wall will outlive me for another 40 plus years!!! This is a family run business and they only hire within their family. I met Sione's brothers Q and Jr, along with Kaffa, Masi and so many awesome uncles and masons! I also received the proposal via email from sister Fine. Thanks so much for your work! I could see that they all work with a lot of Heart, Soul and Pride! They arrived on time, some days early! They are very respectful, helpful, and organized throughout the entire job! They also clean up after themselves. I was so impressed at how fast they completed the work and were ahead of schedule! Towards the end, Q, Van and Bugsy did final clean up and haul away of rubbish. I appreciate their level of workmanship and it really shows in the end result. EVERYONE LOVES MY ROCKWALL and it has visibility from the main road. I was able to carve "All Phase Masonry JULY 2026" during the recapping too! Look forward to Future work with All Phase! "If your wall gonna fall - give us a call!" MALO AUPITO ALL PHASE FOR MY NEW AMAKA! lol

Sione, the owner, was very responsive from the start--he replied quickly to our Yelp inquiry and made scheduling a meet-and-greet and wall assessment easy. He was professional, easy to work with, and took the time to explain the condition of the wall. He also recommended a couple of repair options and clearly walked us through each, which made the decision process much easier. We received a quote in a timely manner, and the project actually began ahead of schedule. Even better, the entire job was completed in just three days. The new wall looks beautiful, and several neighbors have already complimented the work. We are extremely happy with the results and glad we chose All Phase Masonry. I would highly recommend them to anyone on O'ahu looking for quality masonry work and excellent service.

Suli's team were able to complete this large project all before we had family visit during the holidays. It's truly a blessing to know and work with this small family business, especially Maka and his team, they did such an amazing job! You can tell he takes pride in his work. I look forward to working with him in the near future and can't wait to show his talents to friends and family. Thank you so much!

Time: How long does it take to find and interview a…read moredependable masonry contractor? After a two-week search, I selected Menora Masonry from four bids for my December 2024 retaining wall and drainage project. Suli, the owner, ran the mini excavator and ensured efficient teamwork during excavator operations Sione was pure strength. He did a lot of the excavating and put up new posts and gates. A lot was accomplished because he had a good work ethic and was trustworthy in every way. Younger Sione, Suli's nephew, executed precise bricklaying while others managed cement mixing. He rebuilt the failing wall sections and also a leaning column with great precision. Task on December 11, 2024: To replace the weak sections of my retaining wall that held the terraced front area of my property. Then run 80 feet of perforated PVC pipe underground along it to relieve the pressure of excess water into an adjoining swale easement. In addition, water in my back garden area, weathered by mauka wind and rain, would pool and seep beneath the slab of my house. Menora jackhammered part of the old walkway and created slope for the water to empty into the same swale easement and away from the foundation. They also built a raised cement barrier along the house. Communication: An area of improvement could have been reviewing our understanding of the planned work in intervals. While communication could improve with mid-project checkpoints (especially during garden water mitigation), post-work cleanup with Suli's son, Suli Jr., revealed excellent attention to detail. The January 2025 storm validated their work - both wall stability and drainage performed flawlessly under heavy wind and rain. I had complete peace of mind for my neighbors below that the wall would hold and not cause damage; and that the garden-side rain would not pool towards the house. I truly appreciate the hard work and effort on the part of Menora Masonry and highly recommend them!

They were careful not to damage the abutting walls and cleanly disconnected the plumbing. This will make it easier when the remodeling takes place.

I hired a contractor in April 2025 to put a concrete stamp on the walkway leading to my house. The…read morejob also included staining and sealing it. The stamp looks awesome, but unfortunately the person the contractor sub-contracted the staining and sealing portion of the project to became unavailable, so the contractor and I mutually agreed I would get someone else to finish the job. I re-advertised what I needed on Yelp, and that is when I unfortunately hired Nohealani Masonry Contractor in early May. I provided the owner with a picture of what we were looking for, and he worked diligently to get as close to the picture as possible, and although his finished product looked nothing like the picture, we said we liked his work, and we gave him the approval to seal it, and that is when the nightmare began. Just prior to sealing, he started showing up around 6:00 pm (if he showed up at all), so by the time he started applying the sealant on May 16, 2025 it was getting dark, so he applied the sealant in about 5 - 10 minutes (if that) and told me to give it a couple of days to dry. I attempted to pay him the balance with a cashier's check on that day, but he did not want to take it, and he asked for cash instead, so on May 17, 2025 I paid him the balance (in cash at his request). About two days later, I looked at the project (pictures attached) and there were all kinds of white patches and white specs on two thirds of the project, and it looks awful. When I paid him the balance, the contractor promised me he would promptly fix any issues regarding the project as soon as he was notified. After I noticed all the specs and splotches, I began calling and texting the contractor on May 19, 2025, and I am still waiting for him to honor his word more than two months later. Each time he said he was coming to fix the issues to complete the project, he did not show up and did not even bother to contact me to let me know he was not going to show up, and when I was able to get in touch with him, he gave me excuse after excuse as to why he did not show up. The last time I talked to him was July 5, 2025 (because he promised to come, and once again, he did not). I have had it with this "contractor", and I would never hire him again for anything. If you want someone to do a rush job, and then abandon you after he is paid (even when additional work needs to be done to complete the project), someone who never keeps their word, and someone you have to continually chase to finish the job he they were paid to do, this contractor may be right for you. But if you want a contractor that is reliable and treats all their jobs like a priority (big or small), I highly recommend you look elsewhere and do not hire this "contractor".

I finally called after 2 weeks, and asked if they were still interested in doing the job. I was perfectly fine if they turned me down, but they said they would send it that evening. I even re-messaged them my email, and still nothing! If they didn't want the job, they could have just told me and thay would have been the end of it! Totally bad business practice. If they gave you a quote, consider yourself lucky! Update: I added a star because they did eventually give me a quote, but it was too late, I had already found someone to do the job. I wish I could have seen what they could have done.
