    Unbelievable service! Replied quickly to my query. Arranged the day and time for the service quickly. Arrived early on the scheduled day. Was meticulous and thorough in his work. Highly recommend Homer!

    Unfinished repaired wall & the taped & refinished orange peel wall. We just requested that & plan to paint ourselves.

    I am so happy to have found Island Coating to help me with my drywall taping & finishing! Homer was quick to reply to my inquiries, gave me a quote & got the job done in no time! They are quick to respond & show up on time or even a little prior to the promised schedule. He and Kevin worked so fast & cleaned up after themselves. I appreciate that I wasn't made to feel that my job was too small or unimportant. I will definitely tell my family & friends & would use them for any projects in the future.

    Second time we've used Homer and his crew for a major paint job. They did an excellent job on exterior paint when we were prepping to sell our place in Ahuimanu. They just finished the interior of our 'new' place in Mililani and it looks great! They're on time, do the prep work as it should be done, and finished on schedule. We highly recommend them.

    I can't thank Island Coating enough for coming through when I was in a real pickle! They responded urgently, worked through the weekend, and installed the wallpaper beautifully. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to getting the job done on short notice were truly impressive. I highly appreciate their hard work and craftsmanship--so much so that I already have another project in the pipeline and fully plan to reach out again! Highly recommend!

    Homer and his 3 awesome Painters were very efficient from the start, from Pressure wash to prep to painting my house, He also did a beautiful job on my decking. His crew is very friendly, neat in every thing they did through the whole process. I was so impressed, I bought them all lunch 3 different occasions. I just can't get over the way they did there cuts on the trims from 4 different colors, very clean. I had 4 different estimates, he was the best price and in his quality of work. I recommend Island coating, number 1 in my book Thank You Homer and the crew

    I'm so pleased with and thankful for the help Mike and John brought to my walls! These guys fixed…read moremy walls up so well, were so easy to work with, and did everything I needed at a very reasonable price! I highly recommend Mike and his team for your wall repairs! I uploaded a few before and after photos, of two of my walls but they worked on several more walls! My CMU block walls and drywall had about 50+ holes, a bunch of which were the size of my index finger, many areas of ripped drywall paper, and numerous outlet-sized drywall cutouts that I wanted patched as if they never existed. Mike came over himself, looked at the job, and gave me a price on the spot. A few weeks later he sent John over to do the work. I was on a pretty tight schedule with an upcoming move and Mike really worked around my schedule as best as he could! John was so kind and efficient, and he took care of every single hole and cut out in under 2 hours and got the walls paint ready for me (I painted the walls the following day). I was expecting the work to cost $1,500 plus easily but Mike's did it for under $600 and the quality is on point! I was really worried about the outlet sized cutouts I made for running wires, but John patched them like it was no big deal and that was such a relief! They did such a good job!!! 10/10 highly recommend

    My apartment had recently suffered multiple unidentified leaks this past year that has been a…read morenightmare to navigate. I first messaged Mike and other candidates in 2025 when I was gathering quotes for an insurance claim that ultimately got denied. It was very clear that Mike and the team have great workmanship from the photos - this is coming from someone who's seen great drywall work and extremely poor work that I could do better myself. I could tell right off the bat that these were the guys I wanted to work with. The proof was in the "mudding" as I changed scope to account for materials, budget, level 4-5 finish, and paint finish quality. Having to pay out of pocket for an expense I anticipated someone else to cover was a bit of a concern for my wallet. Mike was patient with me and we worked out a price we could agree on by removing items from the scope that might still been in good condition and limiting the amount of work that needed to be done on a bump-out wall next to my shower. John texted me soon after we agreed to move forward and scheduled the work for the following week. He also suggested a change in material (DensShield) from what I had originally requested (blueboard) and I am so grateful to have skilled/experienced teammates to work with that really know what they're doing. Day 1 was demolition, hanging, and mudding. John was finished and out before lunch and I could already tell that the quality of work was spectacular. You couldn't even tell the ceiling was repaired because it was blended in perfectly with the surrounding area. The bump-out wall was looking way better than it was even prior to the water damage. We left the fan on throughout the day and overnight to let the hot mud dry out. Day 2 was sanding, priming, and painting. Fortunately, I purchased and stored paint that was specific to my bathroom from a previous repair and had it at the ready this time around as well. Honestly, when I first discovered the leak, I originally planned to fix it myself so I also had a brand new container of primer. I'm pretty satisfied with the work, especially with the DensShield suggestion and installation in both affected areas to account for future leaks. I didn't know such product existed and the workmanship mudding a material such as DensShield and it essentially coming out nearly flawless is pretty impressive. Overall, I would give Mike's team a solid 9/10. Prompt responses, flexibility in materials/scope, and great quality of work. The quote, as some have mentioned is on the higher side compared to other candidates I'd spoken with, but I learned the last time that you get what you pay for. Could I have gotten it cheaper? 100%. Would it have come out as good? Not sure. The last guy I hired at maybe half the price got the job done, but clearly not done well and that's what got me in this predicament, SO... don't cheap out if you can help it - especially for a bathroom or high-moisture/high-risk area. I'm certain I'll be working with Mike and the team in the future and there are no regrets here as compared to my last drywall adventure. Thank you Mike & John for your patience and hard work.

This is a really belated review; we actually started working with them nearly two years ago. The project took several months to complete. I did the demolition myself and brought in my own plumber and electrician, but Wen, Xiao, and the rest of their crew handled everything else: a full kitchen, two complete bathrooms, all fixture installs, drywall, insulation (including the attic), paint, trim, new doors, ... plus more that I've likely forgotten. Basically the whole house, down to the kitchen sink. Wen was extremely helpful and full of great ideas in the planning phase. He worked with us through several rounds of different options, layouts, etc. He took us on a show-and-tell shopping trip to Home Depot to get ideas about many of the available choices, guided us through choosing kitchen cabinetry, helped us pick out shower pan design/style, etc. Xiao was great at handling all carpentry work as well as the tile, cabinetry, bathroom/kitchen detail work, etc. He had great insight into how we could take out a couple of small non-structural stub walls to make our living room feel bigger. He and his assistants worked very diligently and we really appreciate his effort. Communication was easy throughout the project. Wen responded very quickly to all messages, even my dumb questions. He also entertained my bad ideas and then gave me more reasonable alternatives. Really appreciated his calm and levelheaded approach to everything. On top of all this, the cost was very reasonable and comprehensive--we didn't have to do a lot of messing around with change orders. Other than some materials we agreed to supply at the outset, they built everything needed into their initial quote. They did not consider the project complete until we were happy with every last detail. The work was done well, and we highly recommend Diamond Head Construction for anyone tackling anything from a small project up to a full renovation. We have some more projects that we need help with and I'm sure we'll be relying on them again soon.

    I am thankful for Wen and team, they did excellent work and made sure that everything that we…read moreneeded (even some small side fixes) were completed in a timely manner and professionally done. Wen changed out our old jealousy windows for new custom made awning windows. He helped to replace a security door and our bad outlets along with some outdoor projects. All for as reasonable price as he could get it!
