Wish I could say this was a good experience. Brian (Merkel) was very attentive when I reached out…read morefor a quote, came by quick to give an estimate and finished the job in the general time frame (full exterior paint on a two story home along with patio and deck railings). About a month after the job was done, the complete patio and deck railing area started bubbling like mad. I contacted Brian who claimed it was tree sap causing it but other painters who took a look said it was caused by painting before the wood was dry (from the prep). Not to mention the house has been painted numerous times over the last 20 years with zero issues of "tree sap" AND the bubbling is occurring on multiple different types of wood. What's worse is Brian came by and sanded areas down to the bare wood which now sits unprotected. He agreed to fix the problem and we went back and forth with numerous promises of, "My guys coming this week, etc." over the last EIGHTEEN MONTHS! He has now just stopped communicating period and upon checking DCCA and eCourt Kokua, I now see his business is in bad standing and he has multiple pending civil lawsuits (another one coming his way shortly) which no doubt are related to the complaints on this site. I actually liked Brian, thought he was a good guy, and tried to be patient and give him the benefit of the doubt but clearly see now that he had no intention of fixing this issue. Unfortunately, I'll now have to resolve this through the judicial system. Caveat emptor folks. *Update 12/15/2025 - Working with Brian to get this resolved. Hopefully the job can be completed the right way!

I contacted Homer from Island Coating to see if he'd be interested in putting up some wallpaper for…read moreour nursery. My husband and I tried to do it two years ago for our son's nursery and needless to say it was an experience we never wanted to do again. We knew we needed to hire someone to do the wallpaper for our daughters nursery this time and thank God Homer said he was available! We got quotes from other people, some were over $1000 which to me is totally absurd for one wall - I think they priced us at $1,400 or something like that, not to say the effort doesn't deserve a decent amount of payment but over a grand just seemed like a lot especially for our budget. Homer gave us a quote of $450 and knowing he had good reviews on Yelp I was comfortable saying yes. He was on time, professional, super nice, made sure I knew he was still arriving to do the job the day before, always messaged me back if I had questions, and the final result is incredible. He showed up in the morning just like he said he would and was done in the early afternoon. If I ever need someone to do wallpaper services in future renovations I am absolutely contacting Homer to do the job! I feel his price was fair, the work was exceptional, and am very glad we hired him! Thank you Homer for your services! We love our nursery wallpaper!

I was brutally honest with him about last minute emergency and also transparent about our finances and he was very compassionate and understanding and willing to try and work with us. After messaging back and forth about the details, he was very honest and gave me two different options to see which one was more feasible for us. He took the time to break everything down with just videos and pictures of our home since we were pinched on time. After receiving his quote, I realized he was really trying to give me a competitive price, but unfortunately it was not in our budget. Also, how well he handled our situation, we did not want to disrespect him and his company as they deserve the quote and more that was presented. We felt really bad and if we had the financing, we would 100% go with Leon. Even after we thanked him and denied his offer, he still reached out afterwards to try and work something out, but not in a pushy or sales person kind of way, but in a concerned friend way...because of that, we did not want to low ball him or his workers. Although we did not go with Leon or got to first hand see his work, just the first impression and how he handles his company, speaks volumes. My family appreciates your kindness and willingness to help Leon. God bless!

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.

He was very knowledgable and seemed to be a straight shooter (I wanted some storage over the toilet and he straight up told me that would be weird because it would block the bathroom window). After listening to what we were thinking, he came up with a plan and gave us an estimate. We didn't get any renderings (not sure if bathroom renovations get those?) but we knew he knew what he was doing, so it wasn't really an issue - Mom and I were trusting he and his team's professionalism and it worked! Did we have any idea of the cost of a bathroom renovation? No. Was it more than I imagined it to be? Honestly, yes. But after the job was done, did I think it was worth it? ABSOLUTELY YES. The job Kurihara Contracting did with our master bathroom was AWESOME. And I think with this company, you get what you pay for - The professionalism, consideration, final product...chef's kiss! Our bathroom looks so much larger and brighter! We just love it. We were also able to upgrade to a toilet we wanted (something really important to my mom ;D). Thank you, Spencer and Crew for our bathroom transformation! My hope is that we save up money to do more renovations and we can use your services!
