I posted this same review on Google recently, but thought I should also post it on Yelp as I use them both when I am looking for a Kihei/Wailea contractor:
I recently did a Wailea Commercial renovation project with short notice. I contacted 18 handyman and contractors on Craigslist and Yelp. Seamus Ryan came out on top and I am sure glad I used him. A few did not even respond. A few did not do commercial work requiring metal studs. A few were not available for months.
Some reasons for my 5 star review:
1. Cost: Very reasonable and very fair with required changes.
2. Flexibility: At the last moment we had to change the design of the project. Seamus was a great help help in that process with great ideas and did not walk off the project as many others would have.
3. Did anything and everything to get the job done: Originally planned to happen over 2 weekends while my tenants were not open, When we had an uncooperative tenant, Seamus was able to switch to nighttime work. Starting at 6PM going until midnight several nights and as late as 3AM one night just to get it done for the next sub to come in.
4. Jack of all trades: When the framer did not show up, Seamus did all the framing by himself in one night! A Hurculean effort! The same happened with the dry wall.
5.Excellent Communication: If you have ever dealt with trades and contractors on Maui, they are almost universally terrible communicators and often don't even show up; and do not answer calls or texts. Seamus was great. Texting me once that he was going to be a few minutes late. Unheard of in his industry.
6. Excellent results. The project ended up looking great and Seamus overcame every hurdle that was thrown at him. I will definitely use him again for my future projects.
7. Response time: Seamus lives in Kihei so he was able to come to the jobsite on short notice; like when the materials got delivered with no notice and needed to be unloaded into my space. read more
