I strongly advise anyone considering hiring Nohealani Masonry to think twice before doing business…read morewith them. My experience with the owner, Kepu, has been nothing short of a nightmare. I contracted with Kepu in May 2025 to pour and finish a stained, stamped, and sealed concrete driveway, along with the installation of two aluminum gates and fencing. On the last day of the pour, he pressured me to pay the entire final balance upfront--including the gates and fencing--so he could "pay his workers." Against my better judgment, I trusted him. That was a huge mistake. Here's what happened: Substandard Workmanship: Most driveways are poured at 4" thick. Mine was poured at only 2". Reinforcing wire pushed up through the concrete in several places (I have photos). Kepu made several failed attempts to repair it. When I demanded the bad sections be repoured, he began ghosting me and dodging calls. Flaky, Unreliable, and Dishonest: Weeks went by with endless excuses for not showing up. His own vendors even contacted me directly, complaining he wasn't returning equipment he had rented for my job. Only after I threatened to file a RICO complaint with the State of Hawaii did he return--half-heartedly--to reseal the concrete. Poor Final Results: The seal job looks terrible. The color is uneven, large white sandy patches are visible from too much non-slip additive, and there are permanent bucket marks left behind where he rested containers on the wet surface. Unfinished Work & Missing Money: Three months later, Kepu has not installed the gates and fencing. He does not answer phone calls, texts, or emails. After I demanded proof of my gate/fence order, he admitted he canceled it. I told him to refund the money. But never followed through. At this point, he has my money and I have nothing to show for it. I have filed a formal RICO complaint with the State of Hawaii, and I am now preparing to seek legal help to recover damages and the funds I paid him in good faith. If you value your time, money, and sanity, avoid Nohealani Masonry at all costs. I wish I had seen a review like this before I made the mistake of hiring them.

I contacted this company and spoke to the owner Kepu Tupou directly. From the beginning of this…read moreproject to the very end, I was extremely impressed with Kepu's sincerity, honesty, his professionalism and his work. The job was completed within the time frame he gave me and every detail accomplished, including clean-up after completion. The actual work consisted of tearing down a major retaining wall in the front of my house, the same in the back of the house, as well as painting of the steps to the house. I would absolutely and will definitely recommend Kepu and Nohealani Construction!

After discussing my issues with the 3 people that was recomended to me, I felt that Mr. James Kane will be able to handle my problems with the Permitting Office. He took care of my problem(s). My project is now finished and all paperwork with the C&C Permiting Office complete. Mr. Kane's expertise and the problems he solved for me are worth more than he charged me. I think his office should charge more so a full time human office assistant can be at his office at least 5 days per week. I am very sure Jorge is very efficient, yet I have to wait more than 48 hours before I can get an answer from him because he is at the office only 3 days a week. Mahalo Jorge and Jim.

The crew worked diligently--even through the rain--and left the site clean. They even used the displaced rocks to build us some beautiful rock planters!

William and the team at Ming Yang (MY) Construction are phenomenal!…read more Kitchen remodel, 5 Stars. They helped us step out of the 70s and into something so much more modern. From the first site visit to the final walkthrough, everything was seamless. William managed this project very well and guided us through this process with ease. At any point if we had questions he was quick to respond. The showroom they have is great and the experience of setting your preferences on design and materials is quite enjoyable. The only hiccup we encountered is that the supplier of the original tile that had been selected did not come in the size we needed and so it wouldn't have meshed well with the current tile in the living room. William helped us find a suitable alternative and we were able to pivot and are very pleased with the outcome. There were a couple of adjustments during the project but again related to the tile, we changed the direction of the placement which allows for us to replace the remaining tile in the house in the future if we decided to do so. William and team thinking ahead with our needs in mind really provided a sense of care. To top it all off, we wanted this build done ASAP and the team was able to complete the remodel in 8 days compared to their estimate of 10 - 14. We are extremely pleased with the work and so glad we went with a business right here in Kaneohe. Thank you William, Wen, and team! Some details on the kitchen itself for those curious. - L Shaped - Soft Close Cabinets - Spice Rack left of the Range - Microwave with vent above Range - Backsplash - Recessed Lights - Pendent Lights - Island with three sides of overhang for full dining

Don't think twice, book with MY Construction, couldn't be happier with the renovation they did on…read moremy condo!! My renovation consisted of a full kitchen & bathroom remodel, with tub to shower conversion. I contacted a few companies and received various quotes, some of which required me to travel to various showrooms to select materials which as a first time home renovator, seemed overwhelming. However, when I was contacted by William, he informed me he had previously done renovations in my building and was very familiar with how the management office worked, water shut off, elevator reservations, etc. MY Construction's showroom had all materials/samples in one place where I could put everything together and get a visual idea; he also had tons of photos of examples on his phone to show me. Can't say enough amazing things about William and his crew, not only did he keep me updated daily, but he also handled so many of the nuance tasks on his own, making sure I wasn't distracted at work or taking on any unnecessary stress during the project. (He even dealt with a cranky tenant who had been accidentally double booked by management for the elevator as well as installing all of the new appliances!) The communication couldn't have been better. On to the finished reno; it's truly everything I wanted and more! I am currently renting the apartment to a friend and he's had no issues with any leaks, appliance function, and he's also commented how stunning the renovation turned out! If you're thinking of a new home renovation, big or small, look no further, these guys will give you an incredible result while simultaneously keeping the project stress-free!!
