They finished everything in one day, cleaned up thoroughly, and even went the extra mile to paint the fence (which they don't do painting) so it would meet Mililani Town Association and AOAO requirements (which can be strict about uniformity). That extra effort made the whole process stress-free and awesome. The workmanship is solid -- our gate and fence are now sturdier than our association-built carport. Great communication, fair pricing, and true local customer service. Highly recommend supporting this small, locally owned business.

She was great with communicating and was a big reason we ended up going with Menora over other contractors. The project included excavation, building a CMU wall, extending a driveway, and building a patio. I really appreciate your efforts and dedication to finishing my family yard. Suli's team were able to complete this large project all before we had family visit during the holidays. It's truly a blessing to know and work with this small family business, especially Maka and his team, they did such an amazing job! You can tell he takes pride in his work. I look forward to working with him in the near future and can't wait to show his talents to friends and family. Thank you so much!

Time: How long does it take to find and interview a…read moredependable masonry contractor? After a two-week search, I selected Menora Masonry from four bids for my December 2024 retaining wall and drainage project. Suli, the owner, ran the mini excavator and ensured efficient teamwork during excavator operations Sione was pure strength. He did a lot of the excavating and put up new posts and gates. A lot was accomplished because he had a good work ethic and was trustworthy in every way. Younger Sione, Suli's nephew, executed precise bricklaying while others managed cement mixing. He rebuilt the failing wall sections and also a leaning column with great precision. Task on December 11, 2024: To replace the weak sections of my retaining wall that held the terraced front area of my property. Then run 80 feet of perforated PVC pipe underground along it to relieve the pressure of excess water into an adjoining swale easement. In addition, water in my back garden area, weathered by mauka wind and rain, would pool and seep beneath the slab of my house. Menora jackhammered part of the old walkway and created slope for the water to empty into the same swale easement and away from the foundation. They also built a raised cement barrier along the house. Communication: An area of improvement could have been reviewing our understanding of the planned work in intervals. While communication could improve with mid-project checkpoints (especially during garden water mitigation), post-work cleanup with Suli's son, Suli Jr., revealed excellent attention to detail. The January 2025 storm validated their work - both wall stability and drainage performed flawlessly under heavy wind and rain. I had complete peace of mind for my neighbors below that the wall would hold and not cause damage; and that the garden-side rain would not pool towards the house. I truly appreciate the hard work and effort on the part of Menora Masonry and highly recommend them!

George and his assistant Saul did an terrific job on our railing project. They showed up on time, on the day they said they were going to be at our house, and completed the project in a timely manner. We are thrilled with the result!

PLACE YOUR TRUST IN KUNKELWORKS…read more 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!

As of today (9/11/25) I've not received the written proposal even though I was promised over and over I would receive one. Accordingly I texted them and said to forget it as it was fairly obvious they were not interested in doing the project. They could have least been up front in that they didn't want the project.

Speaking with Parris and getting the initial quote was a quick and easy process. Parris and his guys completed the paperwork we needed for HOA approval without issue, and installation happened quickly after our HOA gave us the go ahead. The installation itself was also completed quickly (2-3 days of work if I recall) and the best part other than the quality of the fence was that the way they install the fence posts leaves your yard looking exactly as it was before--no giant holes or dirt piles left behind. A few months ago, we needed a repair due to our landscapers accidentally shooting a rock through a fence panel. Parris was quick to respond and had his guys out there the next day to complete the repair at a reasonable price. They even noticed our gate wasn't shutting properly and made some adjustments on the spot at no additional cost without us asking. Most recently, we installed some pavers that went under our gate and needed some adjustments to be made to the height of the gate so the gate could close over the pavers. Again, Parris and his team were out quickly to make the changes we needed to our gate, and we couldn't be happier! Yes, you can find other companies to install vinyl fencing for less money. That being said, my husband and I would make the same decision over and over again to go with Vinyl Tech & Masonry because of their professionalism and the quality of their work. They clearly stand by their work and want to make sure their customers are happy. In my opinion when you're spending thousands of dollars on a fence install, it's well worth it to invest in a company that clearly cares about their customer's satisfaction.

I was told the shipment of materials was repeatedly delayed and a full refund was promised me in August 2022. The company has not refunded my money to date. Please know if this company agrees to perform work for you, they are not licensed or insured. They had falsely advertised as such on this site but it has since been removed (screenshot below). This is a substantial amount of money that the company has retained after a string excuses and promises to refund. Even though the quote you may receive from them is less than you would get from other fence companies, I strongly advise you to steer clear of them. There is a reason there are no reviews on Yelp for over a year now.
