Julian with Kama'aina Handyman was amazing. I'm the current tenant of an expensive property and he helped us with an emergency situation and repair. He was always on time, incredibly patient and polite, and went above and beyond to make sure that the repair was done to a quality that the owners of this asset would be happy with and that I as the paying tenant would be happy to live in. He went above and beyond to match the existing walls and floors (with repeat trips to the store to physically go through flooring by hand to find the batch that was the most accurate), and as a result the repair is totally invisible and the area is cleaner than it was when he started. I am thrilled and relieved. 10/10/10 recommend. When we own our own home I'll be keeping his contact for future projects, and will be recommending him to everybody. Mahalo, Julian! read more

I contacted them Sunday night and by Monday morning they had contacted us and set an appointment for that same day. They arrived on time. The job was to install a door from our laundry room to the outside. My 78 year old partner had tried to install it himself after waiting 3 weeks for a Home Depot installer to contact him. When the original door was removed, it was clear to see that the opening had been modified. The original door was not the correct size for the opening. We had already bought a door from the original door measurements. Knowing that we would not be able to do it ourselves, I contacted Kama'aina Handyman. They did an excellent job and built a new frame for the doorway. They also replaced some cinder blocks that had broken with wood framing to make sure the door was straight and plumb. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Julian from Kama'aina Handyman was so awesome! He was able to look at the light fixture issue we had and replaced the entire thing very quickly. He was very kind and patient throughout the whole process and got the job done flawlessly. I highly recommend this company! If you're able to, request for Julian! (: read more

Julian did a great job on 5/12. He was patient in narrowing down the scope of work and getting the parts needed. We didn't make it easy! He did a very professional job. Request Julian for your next plumbing job. Yelp wouldn't let me change the job details. Plumbing was done and it was done 5/12/2026 read more

Excellent service from technician Julian. He looked over the things I wanted to repair and explained to n details what he will do. Honest and friendly. Went above and beyond in fixing and cleaning up. Highly recommend Julian for your home improvement needs. Reasonable prices for the types of repairs. read more

After getting the run around from Home Depot to install a ceiling fan we purchased from them, we decided to look for someone on Yelp so we could verify their business and check reviews. From the get go Kama'aina Handyman responded to us via Yelp chat and text and answered all my questions. We requested quotes from others, but some took forever to respond, some were a no call no show after scheduling to come out, and some just didn't feel right for us. We decided to go with Kama'aina Handyman. Best decision ever because Julian came out, he finished a previous job early and was available sooner which worked out perfect for us. He's a genuine, kind guy, that knows what he's doing. His work style is professional from start to finish/clean up! He's also personable and didn't mind our wala'au (talk story) while he was working. We HIGHLY recommend Kama'aina and Julian and will call them for any future jobs. read more

KAMAINA HANDYMAN IS STILL EXCELLENT !!! I hired Kamaina again for several repairs and they were done perfectly. This time around the repair person was Kahae and he was friendly and very proficient. I highly recommend this company to anyone that needs a worry-free experience starting from scheduling, estimating and work. read more

We had Julian come over to replace a couple jalousie windows and install an AC unit for us. He was awesome! Really friendly guy, very personable, very professional, was willing to talk with us about potential changes that would benefit us, and was very transparent about the process he was going through and his thought process. We're really happy with the work done and would definitely recommend anyone else thinking about contracting to go with Kama'aina Handyman; we're definitely going with them in the future! read more

Prompt service and excellent communication and understanding. Kama'aina's professionalism keeps me coming back.

Had a four day project replacing two gates. Joe came out for the first day and relocated the posts before one of his workers came in to finish the project. After about five months, and some high winds and rain, the slide lock on one gate didn't line up, along with the lock coming off and one hinge coming out of the post on the other. Called Kama'aina Handyman to repair them. I was going to pay them to fix the problems since it was months after the install. Joe came out and fixed everything at no additional cost. I know he saw the defects from their earlier installation and made everything right...no actually better than the original installation. Now I'm lining up my next set of projects for Kama'aina Handyman. They stand behind their work and I highly recommend them. read more

Julian was fast, efficient and courteous. Arrived on time. Diagnosed and fixed the problem with our toilets.

Julian worked on several jobs at my house today. He was quick, professional, and did an awesome job. I've used this company several times in the past so look forward to continued business with them. read more

Julian did an amazing job removing our rain damaged baseboards and replacing them to look good as new! He was professional and patient with all of our questions. Great work! read more

Kama'aina Handyman has done projects for me in the past and I was so happy with their work, I didn't think twice about hiring for another home repair. This is a great locally owned company! ALWAYS prompt, friendly, and professional. The work is top notch. If you have projects around your home I highly recommend Kama'aina Handyman! read more

My gate was repaired. He did a great job I would call them again He fid great work. The representative was knoweable, courteous and arrived on timw time read more

Kama'aina Handyman did excellent work; they went above and beyond. I definitely recommend them for any of your household needs.

Needed to repair our neighbor's wall/ceiling after accessing our pipes through their unit, and Kama'aina came through relatively well! Response times were expedient and they kept in touch very well, never going more than a week without updates or communication leading up to our project date. Our handyman also called upon arrival, which can be 50/50 these days, and I appreciate being made aware of arrival before a knock on the door, as I have loud dogs that rush the door when startled. Our handyman, Hoku, was very helpful, communicative and kind, and I appreciate his efficiency in the work he provided today. My neighbor did however notice some leftover debris from the job, as well as a paint mixer left behind, so clean-up was not the best, unfortunately. One thing I'm a little unhappy with is the fact that we were quoted a range and our final invoice exceeded that by a couple hundred dollars--I understand paying for labor & materials, but the near $400 difference shocked me a bit. Besides the paint job and leftover debris, the work looks to be worth most of the cost. Overall, good, responsive and reliable company for handiwork. If we need services while we still live here, we'll definitely reach back out! read more

Kama'aina Handyman has been a God-send since we started hiring them many years ago for many jobs which have included: changing our screen lock fixtures, putting up blackout screens on our patio doors, changing our shower heads and shower fixtures, hanging large pictures, the list goes on and on. The quality of their work is exceptional. They can order parts/products on your behalf and their prices for this and for labor is competitive/reasonable. Both receptionists and handymen are polite and professional. Receptionists are quick in their response time with call backs and emails as well. read more

Remove/install kitchen sink, replace Hot/Cold valves, check all work for leaks and clean-up. After serval weeks of getting cost estimates, I finally settled on Kama'aina Handyman based on 2 factors: recommendation from a trusted friend and estimated cost. Work was done in a timely manner, with minimum impact on members in the house. Julian, initially started the job, however, was unable to complete due to a faulty dishwasher adapter valve that was leaking. Kahae ended up completing the work with a proper working adapter valve. (turned out the original bought valve was faulty). Both Julian and Kahae were very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Their work was top notch, and I will most definitely use Kama'aina Handyman services again, when needed. The cost was less than quoted and definitely a whole lot less expensive than some of the other quotes I had gotten. read more

Friendly, responsive and easy to work with are a few ways I would describe my experiences with Kama'aina Handyman. Used their services on a number of occasions and have had positive experiences every time. The company culture is rooted in respect and delivering high quality customer service with reasonable rates. Will continue to work with them in the future! read more

I was very happy with the great customer service I received from obtaining a quote through Yelp, speaking with the office staff, and seeing the Techs complete the job quickly and thoroughly. The cost of the job was fair for the work done. In fact, the Tech determined that the job would not be as extensive as was originally quoted based on the photos I sent them to re-attach a conduit that housed our electrical cables from the electricity pole to our house. He graciously informed me he would bill me for just labor since no materials were actually needed. A nice surprise. I definitely would use them again. read more

Thank you for working with us to get the rail job completed and for having the necessary tools!

We've worked them a few times on projects around the house. Julian came this time to help. Always on time, answer all questions, get the job done and always clean up after - so it looks like they never were there which I appreciate. Of handyman services we've had - have been by far the most reliable. read more

Doing so much business that they're hiring incompetent workers. Had to content them to correct bad work. read more

The team is kind, responsive, and very useful for all types of handyman jobs. They've replaced a broken outdoor hose bibb and malfunctioning ceiling fans all at fair prices. Will definitely continue to reach out to them for our home repair needs! read more

Showed up on time and provided a reasonable estimate through email quickly. Was able to accommodate to work with our schedule. Showed up for the job and completed in a timely manner. Tenants said they did a great job and sent me pictures of completed work. I would use them again! Thank you!! read more

Julian was terrific. He took his time to carefully complete the project. He is professional, pleasant and considerate of our home. We plan to ask for Julian again when we use Kama'aina Handyman! read more

They were late to the appointment then never followed up with the quote they promised, even after I called and emailed them reminders. I guess they didn't want my business. I wish they would have just told me they didn't want the project. Oh well.... read more

I reached out to a few places for a simple washlet installation, and one company gave me a ridiculously high quote. Then I found Kama'aina Handyman -- they replied right away, worked around my schedule, and gave me a really fair price. The guys who came were awesome -- on time, super friendly, funny, and got everything done perfectly in no time. They even mentioned the job comes with a 1-year warranty, which was a nice bonus. I needed some documents for my condo's building requirements before the installation (a process that can be frustrating), but Kama'aina Handyman was super quick to send everything over to get the process moving fast -- I really appreciated that. Overall, super happy with their service from start to finish. Kama'aina Handyman will definitely be my go-to if I ever need anything else fixed or installed around the house. Highly recommend! read more

They have helped us 3 times since we moved to Hawaii. Always friendly and professional. Quality work at a reasonable price.

To clarify : We were told the air conditioners units we originally bought could be installed if extra support was built in -so we paid extra for that support. We did not know that water would be dripping onto the house. One unit was found to be faulty, and was replaced in the same manner-with the condensation dripping onto the house instead of being connected to the drip pipe present, without our knowledge. Since we are senior citizens,, are not installers, and were absent for several months after the installation due to health and other reasons, we did not see the problem until we returned months later. When we later found the damage caused by the water drainage (condensation?) tubes never being connected to the pipe that was by the ac units, we were told that the person who did the work was no longer employed there. So, apparently, the person who installed the ac units without the proper connection to the drainage pipe was not there to install new ac units properly or fix the damage. We did order new units when we found out the first ac units were recalled. They were here to be installed to correct the drainage problem. We waited for Kama aina to replace the recalled units and fix the drainage correctly with the new units. We were willing to pay for the second installation to be done correctly but their estimate was more than twice the estimate for the first ac units which had caused the damage by leaving the condensation drainage dripping onto the house. We tried repeatedly to communicate in writing about the problem, never rudely. We did not at any time pursue damages, just corrective action. But we ended up having to hire another company to fix the problem before it got worse, and install the new ac units. We handled the recalled units as that company instructed us. read more

I replaced the range hood over my stove. Julian was the tech and he was very helpful. Although I cleared the area around the stove of clutter, he said I had to clear the cabinet above the stove as well because he was going to have to put a junction box in there as well. So, he helped remove the items from the cabinet. He removed the old range hood and installed the new one. Then he helped put the items back in the cabinet. The only suggestion I have is it would be helpful if he had put down a drop cloth over the stove so when he drilled into the bottom of the cabinet, the wood shavings wouldn't fall on the range. Some of the shavings and a screw fell into burner bowls and below it. Although he vacuumed the top of the range when he was done, I decided to throw out the liners of the burner bowls because they had some wood shavings in it. I also noticed some shavings had fallen below the burner bowls as well so I cleaned those up as well. Other than that, I thought he did a great job installing the new range hood. read more

My kitchen sink disposal was broken, and I called Kama' aina Handyman to replace it. They gave me the date for the repair and kept open communication along the way until the date they came. The repairman Jovan came on time as scheduled and was efficient in replacing my old disposal. He is friendly and helpful. I would use this company again in the future when needed. read more

they arrived on time did a great job and came back to finish up the trim to make it look even. Much appreciated! thanks again read more

Needed a new window ac that we bought installed but in an awkwardly high space. Not low like you normally see. Our old one was near the ceiling. Ricky was prompt and communicated well. It took awhile for him to remove the old ac but other then that the installation went well. Removed old ac. Installed new ac. Cut wood , painted and secured wood to the open space. Sealed any open spots. Removed our old ac all the while telling us what he was going to do. Price I would say is a bit on the higher side but considering it wasn't an easy installation and I didn't have to do it... it was definitely a fair price. Nora who we talked to on the phone was very helpful and easy to work with. Give Nora and Ricky a call! We would definitely consider Kama'aina Handyman again read more

What a surprise and delight! I'm grateful for Pohai's excellent work at my townhome today. He's friendly, patient, and skilled, efficiently completing my tasks. He explained the process clearly and prioritized tasks, managing his time well. I highly recommend this company, and I'm confident you'll be pleased with Pohai if you request him. I look forward to using your service again. Note: Nora is helpful and attentive and Joe is honest and direct, great communication all around! Mahalo for being available for me and my homes' needs! And for offering a good value. read more

Tile work was never completed, it was supposed to be tiled around the water heater. This is how they left the job. On the initial estimate, it also stated that they would purchase the laundry sink faucet and plumb as needed. This too was never completed , and while I do appreciate that they didn't charge me for the laundry faucet that was never purchased, I was under assumption this work got completed. I live out of state, and we just discovered this. I would expect the business to do a complete job and to perform quality control to verify their work was completed prior to asking for payment. On a sidenote, they're scheduling is terrible. They asked for a deposit before letting you know when they can come out to do the work, which doesn't make sense because I had somebody else lined up who could have started sooner, and if I knew they couldn't start until a specific date I would have gone with the other company. I asked in advance, prior to making the deposit if the work could start by a specific date, and I was assured by the lady whom I was speaking to that it would. And then they dodged my calls for a week or so and then by the time they got back to me, I was told the work wouldn't start for another couple of weeks later (after my target date). They also have really bad communication, I needed to make a change on the quote and I had to keep following up for almost two months to get it changed. As you can imagine, I was a little upset at this point. Due to the poor communication, scheduling issues, and not completing the jobs, this is why I gave them one star. Although everyone seemed nice, it was definitely not a great experience. read more

I recently used Kama'aina Handyman on Friday for a partial toilet rebuild. This was my 3rd time using their services. Pohai was the tech they sent and he was amazing. He showed me the issue with the unit and proceeded in a timely fashion to replace the parts. I was quite pleased with the installation, the fair price, and the promptness and communication from their office. This company continues to stand out in terms of their service and standing by their work. And yes, they do answer their phone! And convenient also to do online cost quotes. read more
