I am sorry it took 4 years to post a review. We purchased our Photovoltaic System from Kaimi Chung…read more He was most professional, very knowledgeable and answered our questions and concerns patiently. La'akea's electrical crew were friendly and professional. They did a great job with installation. With the recent storms, blackouts etc. We had a problem with our PV system communicating to our internet. Called David (La'akea Elec.) and he so patiently walked me through the PV/communication process step by step. It took about an hour and David stayed with me on the phone till it was done. Called David back after about another hour and our system was "communicating!" Success! SO 4 years later it is wonderful to know that La'akea is still with us and was able to solve our issues! I would not hesitate to hire them for our every electrical needs!!

I contacted him through Yelp to see if he could repair a table lamp and to get a quote. He…read moreresponded almost immediately to ask for photos, which I sent right away. Then... nothing. I messaged the next day to confirm he got the photos. Silence. A few days later, I tried again, asking him to let me know if he was no longer interested in the job. Again, silence. Getting ghosted by someone you're trying to give work to is really weird. Is taking 45 seconds to send a brief reply, even if it's "Sorry, can't do it," too much to ask???

In less than a day I got a quote. I accepted the quote. We scheduled an early morning appointment, a workman came out (ON TIME I might add). And 2 hours later I had two 220v lines in the house to run an electric hot water heater and electric stove. Very neat, professional workmanship. Reliable and courteous company and management. Thank God there are still places like this that take pride in what they do. A++++++

I've completed 2 projects with Jake/Masons so far, and will be definitely calling as I can slowly afford to replace/upgrade every last hideous fixture in my new house :) Very solid company. Sends invoices promptly, doesn't oversell, text updates for schedule windows, does great work onsite. 10/10

Thank you for your service. Oh and since he was in office, I need help with a few other items, which he fixed in no time. Thanks again! Dr. P.W.

EXCELLENT! If I could give Edward Hirayama more stars, I would! Some of the outlets in our home…read morewere not working and we could not figure out why. Mr. Hirayama was diligent in finding out the cause and located a loose, live wire that was under the house, which was thankfully just touching dirt, but very serious and very dangerous. He was excellent at communicating everything through the process of finding and repairing our electrical. He's also a member of the Hawaii Island Contractors Association, which is a plus! Highly recommend!

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.

Ross has rewired the entire house for us after we purchased an old plantation style house in Hilo…read more A few monhts later we started to notice that one of the switches trips occasionally. 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.
