Came out the next day to do a estimate of the privacy fence we wanted built in the front of our yard.

Empires quote was about 10% cheaper then a competitor so we decided to go with them. Im glad we did! Our fence was up 2 days later. Super easy and I'd definitely recommend.

I…read moregave Empire Fencing a check for $11,750.00 for materials for a vinyl fence and gate in February of 2022. 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.

I just wanted to say what a great job Ryan and Top Shape Masonry has done by building the pool on…read moreour property! Ryan and his entire staff were always polite, knowledgeable, and hard working. Our yard has a very odd shape but Ryan and his team were able design the perfect pool for enjoyment for years to come. The entire process was very detailed and everything we decided to add or modify Top Shape was able to make happen. Timeline from start of the pool to finish was initially estimated a around 3 months, the team was able to complete in less than 2 months! We compared prices and product with other vendors but Top Shape were the more competitive and reasonable. Extremely satisfied customer here. Thank you Ryan and the entire Top Shape Masonry team! Could not have asked for better service or company. Wish I could give more stars!

I searched extensively to find someone who could make a natural looking Koi pond for our backyard,…read moreand was lucky enough to find this company. They were able to create a pond that looks like what you would find in a high-end resort hotel. It is truly stunning! The key to their success is they have an incredibly capable team that I found easy to work with and very responsive to my design needs. What they created by far exceeded my wildest dreams! I reserve giving out 5-star ratings to only those I consider to be the best in the business. This company is well-deserving of that distinction!

Their customer service is…read moreoutstanding, and I was especially impressed by how caring and committed the owner, David, is to making sure his customers are happy. Dorian was wonderful to work with and was honest and helpful throughout the process. He even let me know when a better promotion became available, which I really appreciated. The installer was also very meticulous and did an excellent job. A few months later, I discovered that one of the windows had cracked. The warranty department responded immediately and ordered a replacement window for me. That kind of follow-through says a lot about a company. It's refreshing to deal with a company that is honest, caring, and truly stands behind its work. I highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again!

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.

The fence installation was generally okay, but the follow-through on unresolved issues has been…read morevery disappointing. After inspecting the completed fence, I noticed several damaged panels and two missing fence post caps. Brad acknowledged the issues and promised to return to repair the panels and install the caps. Over the following months, I contacted Brad repeatedly and received multiple assurances that he would come by to take care of it. Unfortunately, the issues remain unresolved, and he eventually stopped responding to my messages. I've been patient and given him plenty of opportunities to make this right. These are issues identified immediately after installation, and I'm simply asking him to follow through on the repairs he already agreed to complete. Brad, please contact me with a firm date to repair the damaged panels and install the two missing caps. I would welcome the opportunity to update this review once the work is completed.

We contracted with Hawaii Shoji to install double shoji doors in May, 2025. We paid $2,000 (50%)…read moredeposit at that time. We understood that the doors are handmade and so they would take some time to build. The owner, Rob, promised to install the doors in 3 months (early August). When August rolled around we called and emailed to request an install date. A week passed without reply. Eventually, he emailed to say he had a serious health condition and asked to postpone the job for several more weeks. Being empathetic to his health condition, we agreed to postpone. After 3 weeks had passed I reached out again to request the status of our project. Having received no reply, I emailed again to ask if he was unable to complete the work, could he at least return our deposit so that we could shop elsewhere. Again, days passed without response. I then posted a negative review here describing our experience. Soon after, Rob contacted us. This time he said he was still dealing with a health condition and asked if I would kindly take down the negative reviews since he is turning the business over to some employees. He said he didn't want his behavior to impact the his workers. I said I would take them down if he promised to refund our deposit which he agreed to do "next week" (week of Sept. 19, '25). That due date has long passed with no word from Rob. Sadly, it has been over 5 months since we paid a $2,000 deposit to Hawaii Shoji and we still have nothing to show for it.

It sounded like they would have exactly what I needed. 3 telephone calls where I left messages. No returned calls. 2 emails and no returned emails.
