Michal understood the concept we desired, took measurements and submitted a quote to us within 3 hours. So far Kunkel Works has earned 5 stars. read more

KunkelWorks was ste have another upendous! In professionalism, service, quality awning, value, and workmanship. From the start, Michal was very responsive and helpful. He called back when he said he would and advised us as needed re design, process, and installation. Our awning/carport exceeded our expectations. James and crew were immaculate with the installation. KunkelWorks was superior in attitude, professionalism and product compared with others we considered. Cost was similar for a lot more value. The KunkelWorks carport lets filtered light in, is comfortable, subtle and blends right in. Photos don't do it justice. We are thrilled and will contract with them again for next project! read more

Very pleased with my new fence from KunkelWorks! They were responsive from start to finish. I appreciated the help in choosing a style and it worked out perfectly. My fence is beautiful, durable and maintenance free. The only issue is the time frame is long. It took about 3 months to ship from Japan and about 3 months until the contractor was able to install it. However, it was worth the wait! I highly recommend KunkelWorks and will use them again! read more

PLACE YOUR TRUST IN KUNKELWORKS Michal Norwicki, the owner of Kunkelworks, truly stands by his commitments and follows through on his promises. Take note that this is a rarity in today's business environment, and Michal sets a high standard for all others to follow. To recap my previous reviews, I mentioned a bit of dissatisfaction with a recent project from Kunkelworks. Instead of just brushing me off, Michal personally reached out and came to my home, assuring me that he would make things right. He arranged for a replacement patio unit inclusive of installation at no cost to me. Wow, now that truly impressed me, and I kept my fingers crossed that this big promise from Michal at Kunkelworks would be fulfilled. Five months later, Brittani informed me that the materials for my project had arrived from Japan and to expect a delivery of project material. Just over a month and a half following the delivery, Edi Arellano arrived at my residence, and he and his crew removed the existing unit, and expertly installed the new one. I must admit that Edi, Miguel, and Rudi did a fantastic job and it looks great along with Edi's guarantee of "NO leaks" against the famous Kaneohe rain. If you're looking for a company that provides high-quality patio covers, gates, fences, carports, or similar projects, and desire peace of mind, Kunkelworks is the clear choice. They not only deliver a superior product but also have a solid track record of standing firmly behind their work. In the rare event that something does goes wrong, they will make it right! Thank You Michal and the team at Kunkelworks Hawaii your business ethics are unbeatable and truly outstanding! read more

Great product, looks fantastic. Javier and his team did a fantastic installation job for our multiple gates and fence. Even though one of the posts was slightly damaged in the shipping process, he installed everything, ordered a replacement post and came back and replaced the damaged post right after the part came in, no extra charge. We are really pleased with the quality of the product and the care and thoroughness of the installation work! Thanks Javier! read more

I needed to install a carport for my truck and after contacting another company with less than satisfactory response, I decided to try KunkelWorks. The response was immediate. Within a day Karol came over to discuss my situation and provide an estimate. My only concern was the timeframe which was going to be about two months because they get all of their inventory from Japan. Karol thought that they might have my selection in their warehouse though and would let me know. Luckily for me, they did have it on-island and the installers had an opening the next week! Shout out to James and Kevin the installers. They were very professional, answering all my questions and even recommending a better placement of the carport to help with drainage. The installation took a couple of days due to the concrete pouring and setting of the footings, but the total time from quote to install took less than two weeks! I couldn't be more pleased with the final result and have even received several complements from my neighbors. read more

Good business practices and excellent products make getting a car or patio covering a no brainer when using Kunkleworks. Maggie quickly came to provide her estimates and prices quoted were reasonable. I would recommend giving Maggie a call when ever you are in the need for some sort of covering for your home. read more

Maggie Kunkel sold us 2 wonderful Japanese cantilever carports - such a clean look, low impact on landscape. Great communicator. She did not have installation people lined up on Kauai. I guess most of the sales are on Oahu and Maui. We had trouble locating people to erect them for us but finally found the team of Milan and Leong Lim on Kauai (neighbor island). They did an outstanding job even though they had never done this work before. Leong Lim: (808) 651-6810 read more

Requested a quote, but was basically that they were too busy to send someone to quote. However, if I took measurements, took pictures, and gave a detailed description of what I wanted, they might reconsider sending someone. I realize my job was relatively small but what a way to make someone feel insignificant. After initial research on interent, their product was my first choice but this response made me think even if they came out and did a good bid, I would not run with them because my job was not a huge one so I might get a half hearted job. read more

We had called KunkelWorks to get an estimate for a patio cover in our garden area. It's a small area but we thought the look of KunkelWorks patio cover would be perfect for this area since it's not too intrusive. Scott came over to take measurements and give us an estimate. His answers were very vague & said he would send me an estimate & pictures of how our patio cover will look. Scott sent the email, but his estimate was way more than we expected. He took measurements for a mini "bike" cover for our garden and his estimate was $5,100, Scott wrote fence & gate? $2,500 for delivery to site. Scott called this cover a Rafter Span 12' x 9'. Then he will refer us to someone that will help us obtain a permit for the patio cover! My husband calls him back to go over the email & he straight out tells my husband "you just can't afford it!" Would any consumer spend money blindly on a home improvement project & not understand the service & product? Scott needs to be schooled on how to treat customers! Maggie, your product is not as good as your customer service! read more

The front gate of your property is a visual focal point that can make a huge improvement to your home's curb appeal. That's why we did a lot of research on the looks and style of replacement gates that we wanted for our home renovation. Prior to our renovation, the entire home and landscaping had a 70's to 80's local Japanese look that my wife's grandparents designed. My wife and I still wanted to keep the local Japanese elements but a more modern version of it. We were surprised to see the only US company online that featured Japanese style aluminum gates and fences was right here on Oahu. I looked at other options such as another wooden gate but I didn't want to deal with the maintenance required with wood and the aluminum ones offered by Maggie at Kunkelworks looked so much better. Maggie was very easy to work with, very responsive, and was not pushy at all. She showed up to take measurements and provided us with options on the gate designs, colors, and handle types. Since everything is shipped in directly from Japan, there is a wait period and costs are on the higher side but to us, it was well worth it. If you've ever heard of or dealt with those companies that bring in Ikea products from the mainland like Haul2Hawaii, this is basically the same concept except you're buying aluminum products from Japan. She combines orders to fill a container to lower shipping costs and once filled, it makes its way to Hawaii. Once on island, Maggie schedules a delivery date and all your items are delivered to your home. You will also need to find someone to install them when they arrive but Maggie can recommend an experienced installer that has put in most of the ones you see on her website. I would highly recommend you check out what Kunkelworks has if you're looking for Japanese style gates, fences and carports. Its amazing to see number of style options available in Japan that Maggie can bring in for you. We've had so many people comment on how great the gates look. Even our aluminum fencing contractor was marveling at the look and quality of the gates and asked where we got them because they don't have anything like it. Kunkelworks also sells fences but we went with the local company for a cheaper, less fancy fence because its hidden behind a thick row of raphis palms. I'm surprised no one left any reviews on Yelp yet with as many local homes that feature her products. read more

KunkelWorks Hawaii - We love our new aluminum gate which replaced an old wood/plastic shoji style gate. - Fences & Gates Near Me

KunkelWorks was highly recommended by our neighbohood social network. We can see why! Owner Maggie returned a call after an email for services on the day she returned from vacation. HOW IMPRESSIVE IS THAT in our world of busy lifestyles. She referred me to her partner Scott Smith who scheduled at time to assess what could be done to provide a modern/simpler look for a 34 yr old interior wrought iron stairway/railing. After discovering that KunkelWorks only deals with exterior Japan aluminium products (carports, gates,etc) and not suited to our needs, he gave his comments and recommendations to refurbish the entire railing and mahogany handrails (clean, sand, paint) because of its excellent condition, sturdiness and safety features. His suggestion for suitable colors and protective products are appreciated saving us money while providing a cleaner and more updated look. He could have made a sale in other ways but chose to provide customer service through his knowledge of railings whether outside or inside instead. We will definitely call KunkelWorks should we need any exterior services. We are sorry for the misunderstanding regarding interior vs. exterior railings but pleased to have experienced Maggie's and Scott's experience, knowledge and professsionalism. We highly recommend them to others.. Judy Y. read more

Beware of this company. The prices for replacement materials are extremely high, particularly in light of the fact that their products come from Japan and the yen is at an all time low against the dollar. But, the assumption is that specialized materials for their deck roof support structures (or structures similar to theirs) are very complex, specialized, etc. and therefore premium priced. That is, one thinks that they can't be sourced anywhere else so you have to pay the price - over $5k for 15 polycarbonate panels covering about under 400 square feet of structure. Then, their installer charges an incredibly high fee, but by this time, one is already committed to the materials and the assumption is that the job must be fairly complicated. However, it took the installer about 10 hours (2 people) and the charge was over two-thousand. So although finding replacement panels for this type of structure (a deck roof) is difficult, spend more time shopping than I did so you don't feel like you paid way too much for the end result . read more

Scheduled an appointment and waited on the day of. No phone call to say that they were not able to make it. Got a message the following week saying that the owner could not make the appointment and that they wanted to reschedule. Are you kidding me. The owner doesn't have a phone to call and say that he wasn't able to show up? They either are so busy or they don't value new customers! I'll try the other guys. read more

Called them on October 11th to get an estimate on an aluminum gate. They asked me to send them the dimensions of my current (rusty) gate that was to be replaced. They also asked for photos of the front and back of the current gate and nearby area. I sent all that to them the same day. Never heard back from the guy ever again. A week later a woman called me back and asked if anyone had called me back. I said no. She said she would look into it. I have never heard back from them again. They are either so busy they don't want new jobs or they don't know what they are doing. Either way, their customer service is terrible. read more

Love our new patio cover. Maggie was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. The installation went smoothly. Two days to remove the old and install the new .....as promised. The installers were on time and worked non-stop. They hauled away the old and left the area spotless. Can't say enough regarding their efficiency. Maggie hires the best installers. Once the work was completed, she followed up with a visual inspection to insure the work was done correctly. All in all, a very pleasant experience. read more

Very good experience, My first contact with Kunkelworks was at a August 2016 BIA show at Neal S Braisdell Center where I was attracted by the very esthetic look and high quality of the anodized aluminum products from Japan. Our new house under construction needed several Fences and Gates. Right after I called , Scott took the time to visit the job site and spent 3 hours going thru a huge catalogue showing the breath and versatility of the products sold by Kunkelworks. Once our needs were better defined, Maggie was very prompt to submit a quote for 4 gates and 2 fences with a price and delivery which met our needs. I was able to witness some of the products being installed in the Honolulu area and to meet with one of the installers who described the advantages of the product. Maggie found an installer who was flexible to do job in two separate periods to accomodate the completion of the enclosure walls. Maggie was also very helpful in providing additional service once the gates were installed. I highly recommend to WORK with KunkelWORKS ! read more

I just got through working with Maggie and her crew Edi installing a carport and a covering for my backyard. From the first meeting calling Maggie she got back to me right away and from there her other partner Scott came out and we went over the plans and exactly what I want to put in my house. Maggie keep in touch with me the whole time during the process letting me know the timeframe when the container was gonna be coming in and when they were able to start. From when they started till they ended everybody was very professional and did a excellent Job. They finished everything actually ahead of schedule. I'm glad I went with Kunkel works. I know there's other companies I checked with out there but for the price and the quality of the material I thought that they were the best read more
