He tore down an old closet and removed a door to give us a flat back wall for a new built-in, framed and drywalled around a lava rock wall so we could install an AC unit, and covered up a CMU wall to give it a clean, smooth look. He also helped with a few smaller fixes along the way without any fuss. He showed up on time, worked quickly, and paid close attention to the details.

We're really happy with how everything turned out and will definitely be calling him again for future projects. Highly recommend.

I have to finish it myself or hire someone else. Most of them don't return calls. You would be amazed how many don't return calls. I mean simple communication goes a long way. I didn't find Hideki, my wife did. I tried the usual Yelp searches and called a few. I filled out request forms and then never got a call back. One of them insisted that all I needed was a tool. Despite knowing the tool wouldn't work, I bought it anyway and of course the tool didn't work. In the meantime, my wife was talking to Hideki. He was a good communicator and he agreed to come by. I told him the job would be tough but he did it and he did GREAT. Now that I let you guys know about him, I hope he doesn't get so busy that he will be unavailable. But I have found the great handyman that we always knew existed but was so hard to find.

I called Anytime Handyman to come out and replace 2 damaged doors and install 2 new doors. I sent a text message to let Tyler letting him know my lock box number since it's a rental and no one will be there to let him in. I gave explicit instructions as to which doors needed to replaced. (it was obvious because of the visible damages). He sent me the estimate, I agreed and paid for the doors so he could order it. They went back to the rental, and installed the new doors as planned. Here's the prolblem, they took off the wrong door (not damaged) and put the new door on. Leaving the damaged door still damaged. That's not the end of it, the latch was not installed properly, it had a hole and crack. As for the other door that they installed, there was also a problem, the strike plate and latch were off centered and wasn't closing properly. I called Tyler to tell him the wrong door was removed and replaced, and sent him a snap shot of the text I sent him when he went out for the estimate, explaining which doors needed to be replaced. His answer was, that's not how he interpreted it. Everything seemed to be wrong with the job. From the wrong door being replaced, to the damages to the door and the other door's latch not closing properly. He said not to worry and it's normal it's not a problem, just let him do his job. Now I'm no handyman but I do know how to install a lockset, and I've never seen a hole of that size, nor did I ever see a strike plate and latch installed at an angle. In Tyler's defense, he did say if I'm not happy he would give me a new door. But at this point, my trust with their quality of work has diminished. Not even a new door would make me continue to do business with them. I will take that loss, and stop all remaining repairs with this company. Update: I read the business owner's responses to my review. First of all, the "so called Painter's" was my daughter and son in law who came over the weekend to help paint the doors, only to find the damaged doors and discrepancies on the other door as well, including the wrong door that was removed. I would have no reason to damage these doors that I had already paid in Full upon completion on Weds.

I Yelped through handyman and came across Handyman Services. I was delighted that I saw Terry K.'s used him and was very impressed with Ryan's work. So I made the call to Handyman Services (Ryan/Owner) and explained what I wanted, an estimate on installation of two doors. To my amazement, he said that he would be in my area in the afternoon. Sure enough he came by and took the measurements and within a couple of hours texted me the estimate. Now that's the kind of service that everyone expects, but rarely receive from any type business. I won't say how much the estimate was for, but I found it reasonable and less than I anticipated the job to be. I scheduled the next open date which was the following week. Ryan came by as scheduled and quickly framed and installed two security screen doors with some modifications. He's quick and efficient, also takes pride in the quality of his work. Will definitely use him for projects that I can't do around the house.

EJ's team showed up each morning on time and they were great to talk with. EJ communicated with me well every step of the way, and provided help with some of the difficulties that we ran into.

All I have to say is, "You get what you pay for." I'm being fair with 3 stars because he definitely did the job he was hired to do, but at the same time, with his experience, he didn't consider or suggest making the installation water tight. I do remember him commenting that there was caulking all throughout the outside wall around the AC unit. He said that was overkill and it wasn't necessary. The AC unit that was removed was bigger than the new one, so the hole left was quite big. It was good while I didn't live in the condo while I had work done, as well as it not raining as much since it was Summer. but then a few weeks ago, my wife and I started to notice water damage to our laminate flooring, which appeared to spread from the AC as the source. Top it off, a neighbor above had a fast leaking AC unit, which was also dripping water into this hole. After having hired another handyman to fix the job just this past Friday, this new handyman confirmed that the hole that was left open allowed rain to penetrate into the open section to the left of the AC, which allowed for water to pool and build up in the wall, which eventually spread beneath the floor. Quite disappointing, as anyone could imagine since now I have to hire a contractor to find flooring that will match my existing floors, rip out my newly installed expensive baseboards and the damaged flooring to fix everything because I wanted to save about $150.. I'm not in anyway trying to deter anyone from hiring Dave. I'm sure he is competent, but just think for yourself at times and question what is right and wrong. Especially if you see that something is done or set up a certain way in your home, make sure you have him fully inspect and determine if shortcuts are okay.

So instead of taking a day to install it took more like a day and a half. After the job was finished, I was told that unfortunately the price had gone up from $900 to $1400 for the additional labor and supplies.

I was so disillusioned that it took me over 10 years to find someone honest, reliable, gives attention to detail, and really cares about their work even though it isn't their own home. Ryan had renovated two condos on my floor and upon my neighbor's recommendation and seeing what a beautiful job he did with her kitchen, I decided to hire him for my master bathroom which was in dire need being almost 50 years old. Here are reasons why we are SO HAPPY with the finished product and why we highly recommend Ryan for your renovation needs: 1. Responds quickly to your calls or texts 2. Very meticulous top notch work especially his tile work and painting 3. Good communicator; let me know what to expect each day and kept me informed on day to day progress 4. Resourceful to keep costs to a minimum, no surprises 5. When uncovering unexpected surprises Ryan pivots well to solve the problem 6. Researched to help achieve the look I wanted in bathroom 7. Respectfully checked in with me before making any assumptions 8. Offered sound suggestions and advice 9. Showed up every day and never had me wondering where he was 10. Considerate of my neighbors and worked as quietly as possible, even taking the tile to his home to cut since it would make a lot of noise in my building My husband and I are thrilled with the final product and asked Ryan be our "go-to" guy for other projects both large and small. CHANGE IN HIS CONTACT INFO One last thing- his phone number on Yelp has been changed so please contact him at (808) 476-3864 or Jmalish@hawaii.rr.com Mahalo for reading and good luck on your renovation or home project!

Monday at 1:30pm he doesn't show, then we get a text at 1:40pm, & he ends up rescheduling for 5pm. 2) When he finally shows to finish the job, he brings his 2 boys w/him w/out even a heads-up. (Unprofessional & inconsiderate, in my opinion.) And he left black smudges & scratches on our newly painted kitchen cabinet doors. The bottom line is, we were just a small job for him, & therefore not a priority. I felt that acutely. He has a friendly & pleasant demeanor, and if you don't mind him not showing up sometimes & unannounced guests, you shouldn't have any problems.
