I am soooo glad that I hired Mokoi Masonry for several jobs at two homes in the same neighborhood: 1) 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! read more

Vili was quick to come by and give an estimate, but once we agreed on the scope of work and signed the 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.) read more

Mokoi Masonry did a great job: Vili worked with me to produce a reasonable, detailed proposal that I could take to my neighbor and discuss the repair on a 25 ' section of our boundary wall. Then BJoe and his team came nearly everyday for a week to demo and rebuild the broken section of wall. First they verified the footing was secure, then they added the required vertical and horizontal fiberglass rebar and made certain it was grouted. They are skilled, worked quickly, neatly, and were careful around my plants. I am so happy with the results and would recommend them to anyone needing a new CMU wall or repair. read more

I highly recommend Mokoi Masonry for any concrete and rock wall construction. Vili was first class all the way from responding quickly for a quotation and starting and ending the job professionally and quickly. Within a week of my request, the project to widen my driveway and patio began and ended after a week. The quality of their workmanship was excellent. Vili even brought in specialists to put the finishing touches on the concrete slabs. I was surprised how quickly they constructed a rock wall out of some rather large pieces of rock. The look is great and my only regret was not having this project done earlier. The cost was within range of quotes that I received though I don't think the other companies could have completed the project so quickly. I am a satisfied customer and would call on Mokoi Masonry again if another project is needed. read more

After agreeing on a price to concrete an area for a driveway, work started. A couple days later, he tried to tell me I didn't need to concrete as much of an area since I could only fit one car, and I was ok with that, but the next day I thought about it and measured, and realized I could actually fit two small cars. I told him I wanted the original area, at which point he said I needed to pay $1000 more. When I asked if I could pay by credit card, he also said his credit card reader was broken, and he would only take cash. I offered to write a check, and he wanted it made to him directly. And after promising me a receipt for my records, despite numerous texts, he still did not give me a receipt. The job itself was ok. read more

Vili & his uncle Chris did an amazing job on constructing the concrete slab on the side of my house. Their price was fair and reasonable. They were easy to work with, and the job was well done! They also pointed out where the ground needed grading to prevent water runoff that was eroding under concrete footings of the house. I asked them to level the ground a bit and move the dirt to support the concrete footings. They graded the ground on that side of the house and tested to ensure the water runoff would flow away from the concrete footings. Excellent work, I highly recommend this company! From a very satisfied customer. read more

We were looking to build a new rock wall for us to help protect our house from a stream that floods when it rains hard. We also live in a difficult area where getting in and out and doing the work itself is tricky and limits the amount of heavy machinery that can be used. Vili came out the day after I called him to assess the work to be done and he provided me with a rough estimate that same night. We were debating between a couple of different contractors, but we are thankful that we ended up going with Vili and his crew. In a matter of days, the job was scheduled and the work was started. When Vili told me that he estimated the job would take a week and a half, I was skeptical as to how they could get it done so quickly. Let me tell you - this crew worked hard all day, every day and was able to finish the job in just 6 full days. Not only did they work hard, but their work is second to none. I am truly impressed with how everything came out and the professionalism their crew worked with. They tidied up at the end of each day, were respectful and pleasant to deal with throughout, and at the end of the job cleaned up the whole site. If you are thinking of having masonry work done, look no further. I am confident that you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Vili and crew! read more

Couldn't be happier with my new driveway! Vili and I met and discussed the specifics of the property. He laid out a plan and a timeline for completion. I've never before had concrete work done. I had no idea of all the knowledge, expertise, and experience required in concrete masonry work. I was VERY impressed with Vili and his crew at Mokoi Masonry. The subject property is located in Keolu Hills where the streets all have a decent amount of grade. The existing asphalt drive was falling apart. Grass, weeds, and dirt were mixed in throughout the surface. The property has a slope front to back and facing the home left to right. Drainage is a major problem/consideration making sure the water is routed away from the home and the neighbor's yard. The driveway itself is large, greater than 1200 square feet. It required 3 trucks of concrete. Vili performed all the math to get it right. Slope, ensuring the water to flow to a drainage box and pipe to a culvert, and at depth of 6 inches. He calculated how much concrete to order, what kind of concrete, how much rebar, how much wood for frames. I feel like I got a very fair price and hopefully he made a fair profit. Vili's crew worked as a team. They are very professional and when you're working with concrete you can't be in hurry but you can't be slow either. They were smooth and deliberate. The whole job didn't take long to complete, it took about 5 days. Day 1&2 was demo/removal of the existing asphalt driveway and grating. Day 3 was more grating, getting the slope in 2 directions correct (this looked hard), then compacting, putting in rebar, and building the boxes. They grated the driveway to have a very slight slope to channel the water to the corner of the garage where Vili installed the drain box and tubes that lead to the culvert. Day 4 was the pour. Pouring and floating concrete is a real art. It takes so much skill to make it look good....and a lot of experience to make it look great. Day 5 was finishing the drain pipes and clean up. I really enjoy learning how things work. This driveway was a real education for me. I highly recommend Mokoi Masonry DEFINITELY 5 Stars! I'll be using them for all my concrete masonry work in the future. Thank you Vili and Mokoi Masonry! read more

Vili and his crew at Mokoi Masonry, were professional, and a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend they be considered for any Masonry projects you may be entertaining. -Communication: Vili (Project Manager) was available in person, & by phone and text from initial conversation, during, and after completion of the project for any questions, clarifications, and follow up. His Crew, were on time, answered questions, and followed up with any requests our family asked with great attitude. Project: Mokoi Masonry worked collaboratively to provide a solution to not just repave a driveway, but to tie it into a rock wall repair and appropriate downsizing with rebar support built in, along with an improved drainage system to tie it all together. Timing: Once we agreed to the project, it began pretty quickly, and an appropriate amount of labor and resources was allocated to finishing the job in a reasonably quick manner, on time. read more

We were looking for a contractor to help with our rock wall and driveway project. After looking through Yelp for good reviews we contacted a handful of companies, including Mokoi Masonry. The Mokoi bid came in considerably lower than other companies so we reached out to several property owners that have used their services for some feedback. The feedback we received was all good so we decided to give them a try and we are glad that we did. The team did a great job for us and made a number of recommendations based on other projects that they completed which we incorporated into our renovation. We chatted every day about progress to take our feedback into consideration, which was very helpful for us to be part of the process. We are happy with the final result and will definitely plan to use them for any masonry work in the future. Thanks Vili and team! read more

Oh let me tell you! I called multiple places for quotes and no one wanted to come out. Vili Mokoi answered when I called and came over that day to check out my driveway. He was masked up and safe but did his due diligence and checked on my driveway. Right of the bat he told me of the possibility that my retaining walls might need remediation or that he wouldn't know how much work might be needed to remove what's underneath. My old driveway was in such a poor state that every time it rained my driveway would disintegrated further. He told me that he would work on a quote that day. Later that night he got a price down and then told me of the work involved. We agreed and a week later he brought his crew and started to cut and investigate how deep my driveway went. Apparently the driveway had varying depths of asphalt and a thin veneer of finishing concrete or some subpar concrete. Vili and his crew found the depth they need to go down and kept me in the loop on what's next or when they will come down again. They literally came back on Black Friday too and on that Saturday to finish up the demolition. Today they came and surprised me with a cement truck and look at those results! My God my driveway is brand new and the slope is finally level and going on the right direction! No more are there lumps and bumps and potholes of concrete or asphalt! It's perfect! Call these guys today if you got driveway issues or concrete problems or if you need walls made or demolished. Vili and his guys will take good care of you and your yard and property. I can't say enough other than please check out my photos! Call em now... Seriously! Thank you again to Vili and read more

We contacted Mokoi Masonry one afternoon for an estimate to complete a rock wall in our front yard and driveway, and they came out the next morning at 8:00 a.m. Vili was very friendly and provided a breakdown of their estimate, after asking a few clarifying questions. Upon reviewing several estimates we received (including Mokoi Masonry's estimate) and researching previous reviews of all companies, we decided to work with Mokoi Masonry. We were happy about our decision because Vili and his crew were back the next day to begin working on our wall... and in two days our rock wall was complete and beautifully done! Vili and his crew were very efficient, paying close attention to detail, ensuring that quality work was put into our wall. We look at our rock wall every day and appreciate the work that was done by Vili and his crew! Our new wall provides a more aesthetic appeal to our front yard; and most importantly, it provides an added security to our home. If you are looking for a reliable business that provides professional quality work, you will not be disappointed with Mokoi Masonry! read more

I couldn't be more pleased with the service and workmanship provided by Vili and his "guys" in building a "sitting height" rock wall fronting my newly completed outdoor patio. He responded to my phone call within an hour and we were able to set up a meeting that very day! The scope of work was not complicated and he was able to provide me with an estimate after I explained exactly what I wanted to do and after he made some very helpful suggestions. He started the work on Tuesday of the following week and was completed on Friday!!! I would definitely recommend his services if you're looking for a professional and competent contractor for masonry work. And in case you're wondering, he is a licensed contractor (it was the first thing I checked on DCCA website before calling him). read more

Mokoi Masonry - Rock wall with concrete parking pad around encased water valve and sloped flush with sidewalk and driveway - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

A late review for a project headed by Vili of Mokoi Masonry that turned out to be successful and beautiful. Vili is very pleasant and always responds promptly via text messages. My initial project of a rock wall replacement turned into a full blown project that now also included a new concrete driveway that extended to one side of the house and the back sidewalk. It was a tricky endeavor as Vili had to work with my fencing company to ensure that the height of the wall matched the height of the new aluminum fencing. It required a lot of collaboration between two companies. In the end, I am happy with the outcome and people passing by my home share compliments on the wall and fencing. On a side note, this line of work is physically demanding and yet Vili's crew can often be heard laughing. I would rather hear boisterous laughter than crew members arguing any day! If you are looking for masonry companies, make sure you contact Vili. read more

We've wanted to cement our drive way forever & after getting several quotes we decided to call Mokoi Masonry (based off of his yelp reviews). It was a quick call & free estimate. Vili (owner) was able to work with our budget which we appreciated & led to the start of our project. We enjoyed the crew! Very hard working men, respectful, & fast. Vili, responded to any questions we had or concerns! He even came by the day before pouring to review what they were gonna do/what to expect. We had to delay the start date due to hurricane warning but it didn't stop them from finishing up quick once starting. My family & I are happy with the outcome. Highly recommend Mokoi masonry!

Vili got back to me right away for an estimate on a rock retaining wall. Came out and gave me a very fair price and really helped work things out with the neighbor. His crew started working less then a week later and got the job done in 3 days! I appreciated the quality and efficiency of their work, and that they didn't leave our job halfway done to go do another. The crew also cleaned up after each day. Awesome experience, definitely recommend. Chris read more

Vili and his crew are phenomenal! They built and acid washed a new rock wall for us in a matter of days. They were considerate, personable, and friendly and *kudos* cleaned up the worksite at the end of each day. After removing a 6ft tall x 30 ft wide group of mock orange hedges we began shopping around for quotes to build a rock wall. Mokoi Masonry was one of three contractors we considered using and we chose them based on the thoroughness and competitiveness of their proposal. *It also helped that a trusted friend recommended Vili to us. After hearing our concerns about the location of the utility and plumbing lines, and taking into account the slope of the area (requiring one side of the wall to be 2ft higher than the other in order to be level), Vili provided us with a fair, honest, and reasonable quote for what the project entailed. Vili also personally dropped off the materials and picked out the best rocks for the areas of our wall which would require special configuration to encase the plumbing vent and wall weeps. We are extremely happy with the finished product and highly recommend Mokoi Masonry. read more

3.5 stars, actual. We hired MOKOI Masonry to demo two CMU retaining walls and fence that were cracked/leaning and replace one with moss rock/chain link top and taller one with blue rock. Vili Jr. was quick to respond in person, soon offering an initial quote then contacting us a few days later with a discount to do both projects. They checked out with the state DCCA and RICO plus the BBB and were well-reviewed here. The projects took 7-8 days as proposed with more workers on heavy load days. Both walls seem structurally sound and look good, and we expect them to last and retain the low slope yard and higher slope terrace. Vili asked to start earlier than planned because of a postponed job and we agreed to the staging of supplies/equipment, then later to allow only the demo to begin before I returned from a trip. Instead, the short wall was nearly complete before I saw it and was unable to request adjustments. Some aged parts from the original fencing were reused and there were installation issues with the bottom tension wire and other fasteners. The old top tubes and wire were left behind for us to deal with, along with spatter from the cement toppers/mortar fill on some rock surfaces/edges and ground. Also, we later found a client implement was borrowed and bent for alternative use. The dark stain discussed was never applied. Lastly, a number of small rocks near the base fell out while raking up the remaining debris, presumably because the walls weren't fully grouted as seen in photos provided and a site visit to a recently completed job. While the main wall/fence installations appear solid, there was a lapse in the detail/finish work. I've hired other contractors but this was our first masonry job, and perhaps I should've known more what to clearly ask for in the contract rather than to expect. Still, we do recommend meeting with Vili to get one of your project estimates, writing down exactly what you want done. Disclaimer: I was asked by the business to write a review. read more

Cannot thank Vili jr and his crew for the awesome job they did on my driveway. From the free quote and him working within my budget I couldn't be happier with the quality work that we got.
