    The newly replaced sidewalk.
    Shannon E.

    We received multiple bids from different masons before deciding on E Masonry. Our reasoning for that were previous reviews of this company, the timeline in which they would be able to accomplish the work, and the services they are able to provide. We wanted to create a pad in our back yard for outdoor living, update the existing sidewalk that was uneven and badly worn through the years for the safety of our children and grandmother who lives with us. Additionally the current landscape was unusable as it was terribly uneven and many of the plants were unevenly placed, and thorny. Again kids! E Masonry provided us with all of this. In addition we found out mid project that our front perimeter wall was coming apart... my daughter really enjoys walking along the wall, obviously this made it unsafe by the wall coming apart.. Esau Jr. and Esau Sr. offered to work with us to remediate this hazard and I think the photos speak for themselves!

    It was a pleasure working with Esau and his son. The company excavated a 5 vehicle asphalt parking lot. The quote came in fast and once the job was scheduled we had ongoing communication of when the tenants' vehicles would need to be out and returned. The work was done efficiently and on time. It looks great! His price beat the others. I would definitely recommend him to others. In fact my sister is using E Masonry too!

    My CMU wall is being constructed and is going to plan. The owner is very professional and his crew is very polite and cordial.

    “We met one day, and before we even signed a contract, Esau showed up the next morning with his team ready to work- I was blown away from that moment.”

    I am soooo glad that I hired Mokoi Masonry for several jobs at two homes in the same neighborhood:…read more1) 2-tier retaining rock wall, 2) underground 2-pipe drainage system around 3 sides of a house, 3) vinyl fence and lockable gates, 4) small jobs of patching a hole in a concrete wall and leveling an uneven sidewalk area. Here are my praises about hiring Mokoi at every step of the process: --Estimate and Proposal: Owner Viliami Mokoi came to inspect the work to be done, offered his recommendations from his years of experience, and put the specific descriptions of the work to be done in a written proposal (total of 4 proposals), including details I wanted to add, such as locks on the vinyl gates and installing a mailbox in the wall. I tried to obtain estimates from other contractors, but no one else was willing to do all the work such as removing roots and foliage and running underground pipes on all three sides of the house for the drainage system. --Superb Workmanship: I am still admiring the 2-tiered rock walls that are beautiful and solid (see photo). To install the underground drainage system, the crew had to use heavy equipment to excavate the jungle surrounding the house and haul in gravel to cover the pipes. The area is now clear and spacious with a hidden drainage system ready for heavy rain from hurricane and Kona low storms. Manoa rain and worker shortages caused delays in work, but the crew made up time by working hard and fast when they could. During the whole time, Vili texted to me about the progress of the work and promptly answered my questions. I am very pleased with the final products of the built walls and installed drainage system as well the patched concrete wall and leveled sidewalk. --Five Star Clean-Up: The crew hauled out all the piles of debris from the jobs and even swept up. Very much appreciated! Mahalo nui loa, Vili and your crew, for your great work product, great work ethic and great communication! I highly recommend Mokoi Masonry!

    Vili was quick to come by and give an estimate, but once we agreed on the scope of work and signed…read morethe contract, the project dragged on. He routinely would schedule a time for work, only to cancel on the promised day. This happened 7 times! His team started doing a nice job but then cut corners by using stone scraps in parts of the rock wall that look terrible. They also left a mess in my yard with rock dust that has killed the grass. Worst of all, we had clearly agreed on the extent of work, only for Vili to tell me he made a mistake and would need more money. (I wanted his guys to be whole but did not want to deal with Vili anymore, so we cut off the job.)

    Communication: Initially, communication was excellent, with…read moreresponses typically arriving within an hour. However, as the project progressed and more payments were made, responsiveness steadily declined. Sometimes, it often took 1-4 days to receive a reply, particularly when I was following up about permit submission delays. Workmanship: Average. The completed work was acceptable, but nothing stood out as exceptional. Contract and Warranty: The company did not fully honor the terms of the signed contract. After the deposit was paid, and before work started 10 months later, Solid Masonry requested additional compensation due to increased material costs. While material prices may indeed have risen, much of the delay appeared to stem from their failure to submit the permit application promptly. They initially requested approximately 30% above the contract price, though we eventually negotiated a lower increase. Additionally, a newly repaired pipe was later found to have been bent during the backfilling process. Despite the damage resulting from their work, Solid Masonry still attempted to charge me for the excavation required to expose and repair the pipe. Trustworthiness and Follow-Through: I was charged for both excavation and plumbing work. However, on the day excavation began, no plumber was present. Solid Masonry described this as a miscommunication, and I ultimately had to hire my own plumber despite having already paid for plumbing services through them. Another mistake on my part was paying the final balance before the permit was officially closed. Once payment was received, the company appeared to move on to other projects and did not proactively follow up on permit closure. The permit remained open until I contacted them and repeatedly followed up. Architect: The architect associated with this company had a reputation for overpromising and procrastinating. This was not only my experience but was also echoed by inspectors I spoke with at HPP. After receiving my deposit, it took the architect approximately five months to submit the permit application. After the project was completed, the architect again failed to follow through on closing the permit. Multiple calls to both the architect and contractor were required before action was taken, and even then, it took another two weeks to finally close the permit. Overall: To their credit, the company ultimately completed the project, although it took nearly a year from the time we signed the contract to finish. Unfortunately, the process was far more stressful than it should have been. I found myself constantly having to follow up on issues that I reasonably expected the contractor to manage, including permit submissions, plumbing coordination, and permit closure. My recommendation to future customers is to withhold final payment until the permit has been officially closed. I was also disappointed that the company chose not to stand behind its work regarding the bent pipe and instead attempted to charge me for corrective excavation. My overall rating is influenced less by the quality of the workmanship and more by concerns regarding integrity, accountability, follow-through, and trustworthiness.

    Eli rebuilt a retaining wall adjacent to a stairwell on our property. He responded to our inquiry…read morequickly, came by that same day to give us an estimate, and started working on the wall right away. He was able to finish it in two days--way faster than we had expected! As far as we can tell, the workmanship is good and Eli has assured us he will come fix it for free if there are any issues down the road, so I'll update this review if anything like that happens. The only downside was that communication wasn't great. Eli gave us an initial quote after he came by to look at the wall, which included a provision that we wouldn't pay until the project was completed and we were satisfied. He said he needed us to accept or reject right away. Since the price was slightly less than other quotes we'd gotten and he seemed confident, we accepted. A few hours later, he started taking the original wall down. (We were thrilled he'd started same day!) At that point, he said that he forgot to quote us for materials, so we needed to pay an extra $900. We felt like we had no choice but agree since the wall was partially taken down and if we said no, we'd have a landslide that prevented us from entering our house the next time it rained. So we agreed, figuring that at least we had a guarantee the wall would be fixed before we paid. The next morning, he told us we needed to pay several thousand upfront because he needed it to buy the materials. Again, we didn't have a choice but to agree because the original wall was partially down. Ultimately, the project was completed quickly, and for the revised price. There weren't any other "surprises." Eli was friendly and very diligent. The wall looks great. However, we didn't appreciate the bait-and-switch. I'm not sure if the issue was due to the language barrier, or if he just told us what we wanted to hear initially and then realized it wasn't feasible. Overall, we're happy with the quality of the work, but would recommend getting quotes in writing in the future.

He preyed on our neighbors by going door to door looking for work - landed a few jobs this way but each time asked to get paid before the job was done. We paid on the day he SAID he'd be pau, but he didn't "finish" until weeks later, if you can even call it that. Understandable now that he has to do this because he can't get work through platforms like these where people share about their crappy work.

    This one star is too much for this company. Like others he showed up at my house from working on a…read moreneighbors house. That job was on- going. He said he could cut down two trees in my front yard and haul away. He did not have an extension cord show I loaned him one of ours. He was to repair my side rock wall in two small sections and cut trees and haul away. He showed up this morning and wanted to be paid. I told him I would pay him on completion. I had already given him over $2000. He gave me a list on the remaining amount and left. That was at 8:30 this morning. He finally returned at 2:00 p.m. I went to welcome him back and he would not speak to me. I asked if he was okay. Again no response. I asked if I could get him some water. Again no response. He spoke perfect English so he just did not want to talk to me. I came in the house. We may be talking Looney Tunes here. Something is terribly wrong. After three days with him coming and going I hope he finishes today. Beware. Stay tuned....
