For this project we reached out to five companies and he was the most responsive. He gave us a quote right away and took the time to meet us for a relatively small job. We hope to use his masonary servies in the future and if you have a concrete project you've been wanting to complete, you should abosolutely include Maka's Akamai Masonary on the short list, and you are likely to choose him.

Maka submitted a proposal to demo 5 single family dwelling units, total lot clearance and rough…read moregrade on an agreed price. He demo'ed the houses and did not hauled any of the debris. He lied about the progress of the work and asked for payment without completing the work under the agreement within the timeframe promised. Weeks and months have gone by and the work was still incomplete. Basically, this was a breach of contract and he failed to perform the agreed-upon work as outlined in the contract. For months, he was unresponsive despite multiple attempts to communicate to either finish the work or refund the payments made. After 5 months, he finally responded stating that he'll set up a repayment schedule to return the funds due to the breach of contract. Another 4 months have gone by and he has yet to repay any of the advance payments made. During those 4 months, multiple demands were made for the refund of payments made. He has been unresponsive. To date, 9 months later, he has failed to return the payments made. No effort at all to even set up a repayment schedule. His conduct has been unprofessional, unreliable, and has caused significant financial and personal inconvenience. I trusted him and paid him in advance when he asked for more money stating that he needed more funds to cover the rental equipment and pay his people. Never again with Maka. I plan to file a formal complaint with the appropriate licensing board and the BBB.

I needed to demolish the bathroom in a home i am currently remodeling. The toilet, basin, tiled…read moreshower, medicine cabinet and flooring had to be taken out. From the beginning, Leo always showed up when he said he would. First, to check the site and provide an estimate. Then second, to perform the demolition. They worked efficiently and finished the job earlier than expected. When I went in to inspect the demolition, I was pleased to see how neatly they did the job. They were careful not to damage the abutting walls and cleanly disconnected the plumbing. This will make it easier when the remodeling takes place. Overall, for the amount of work they did, manpower used and time it took, the price was right. Leo also gave me some suggestions on repairs around the house that were very helpful.

We had a drainage issue from the back of our house with little to no options on how to effectively…read moredrain the area without digging down crazy deep. We had an idea on what we could do and got quotes with that in mind. We got several quotes regarding what we wanted to do (basically lots of concrete) prior to Leo coming, but once he did he suggested a better solution than the one my husband and I proposed! Other companies were professional with great quotes, but I like that Leo thought outside of the box and gave a great solution that actually was cheaper and less work. He was very professional with great communication. Things were delayed due to rain outs on another job of his, and the plan changed as we had another contractor come that was originally scheduled after him. It actually changed the scope of work slightly because, we wanted the drainage to work on tandem with new downspouts and where the spouts were placed wasn't where we thought they'd be! Leo was great and flexible, he even explained why the rain gutters guys suggestion wouldn't work with our property, when the worker suggested something else. He also worked around the changed downspout area, which I should've let them know beforehand, but slipped my mind till an hour in. Thankfully, Leo came up with a great idea again and worked around it. His crew was super fast and the job was done within a day. I'd totally recommend them to anyone.

She was great with communicating and was a big reason we ended up going with Menora over other contractors. The project included excavation, building a CMU wall, extending a driveway, and building a patio. I really appreciate your efforts and dedication to finishing my family yard. Suli's team were able to complete this large project all before we had family visit during the holidays. It's truly a blessing to know and work with this small family business, especially Maka and his team, they did such an amazing job! You can tell he takes pride in his work. I look forward to working with him in the near future and can't wait to show his talents to friends and family. Thank you so much!

I've been trying to get my royal palm trees serviced since October 8, and this has been one of the…read moremost frustrating experiences I've ever had with a landscaping company. Communication is extremely poor. Responses regularly took up to a week, if I got one at all. This was not a small or inexpensive job -- I was charged $3,769 -- yet the level of professionalism was completely lacking. After the work was done, even the company acknowledged that the job was handled terribly and agreed a refund was appropriate. I was told a refund check had been sent, but no tracking number was ever provided, and I never received anything. At this point, they are now refusing to issue the refund altogether, despite previously admitting fault. What makes this even more concerning is that when looking at their Yelp reviews, one of the few positive reviews appears to be written by the same person I was communicating with directly "Kaili D.". That seriously calls into question the credibility of the reviews on this page. Overall, this company took a large payment, delivered poor service, communicated poorly throughout, and then failed to follow through on a promised refund. I am extremely disappointed and upset with how this was handled and would strongly caution others before hiring them.

A few years ago they poured two…read morepatios and a slab for my home, repaired and replaced my failing terrace walls and a retaining wall. Those continue to look good. When my last and biggest retaining wall started to fail I called Leo and Pauline right away. Since it was adjoining my neighbors, we all got together and discussed the project and access. Leo drew up the plan and sent it on for engineering and Pauline shepherded the project through the long permitting process. They took great care in accessing through our neighbors backyards. The wall looks great! Now I can rest assured that the wall is stable. I highly recommend Sam and Son's not only for their quality work but also their friendly and prompt service. Pauline always kept me in the loop for any changes or concerns. Mahalo!
