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.)

Jeremy came to look over my home and give me an estimate on stabilizing my foundation. He was here…read morefor over 2 hours initially and was very detailed. The other places wanted me to hire an engineer (over $6k) to diagnose the problem. But Jeremy did that at the beginning. I don't know anything about this process, but I trust these guys did a great job. The workers came in a timely manner, stayed working under my house for about 3 days. I could hear them laughing and enjoying their work. Great guys, good attitudes and worked hard. Took pictures, I forgot to save. But they drilled and put push piers in and used something to shoot into the cracks like a steel cement. They had affordable pricing and as far as I know did a great job to stabilize. I'm glad I went with them.

I highly recommend Foundation Support of Hawaii to anyone looking for foundation repair for all…read moretypes of foundation problems . I am confident that you will be as impressed with their products and services as we have been. They rescued our home by replacing two of the major supports of our house with metal beams that are adjustable. I can't express enough how happy my wife and I were to have both of those projects finally done and with such professionalism. Their owner (Matt Phelps) stop by three years after our projects were completed. He let my wife know he wanted to improve the aesthetics of the past project at no charge. True to his word, Foundation Support of Hawaii called and scheduled a convenient time within in the week. Their Forman Raymond Augustin spent the entire day updating the facade of our home. We so appreciate Raymond's time and expertise, what a wonderful craftsman. The pride Matt Phelps takes in his company work is truly rare. We feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful company take care of our home. I am sure you will find that compared to other providers in the market, the quality of services and professionalism sets Foundation Support of Hawaii far head of all others. I plan to work with them again, and can recommend them without reservation. David Carroll

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.
