When Kyle arrived, he discovered some unexpected issues left by the previous installation that needed to be addressed. With skill and ingenuity, he was able to make adjustments to the wall, tile, and overall setup to ensure a secure and aesthetically pleasing installation. Kyle completed a beautiful install of the new range hood, including drilling new holes in metal to allow for a secure wall connection. He also took care of a thorough cleanup after finishing the job, demonstrating his commitment to quality work. I was impressed with the entire Garden Island Handyman team. They offer a combination of integrity, skill, professionalism, and timely response that is rare on our small island. I wholeheartedly recommend Garden Island Contractors to anyone needing quality repair or installation work on Kaua'i.

He is a total fraud!!! His prices are far higher than anyone else on the Island, but we were taken in by his alleged commitment to our project. After the contract was signed, he NEVER SHOWED UP AT OUR HOUSE TO CHECK THE PROGRESS OF OUR PROJECT, not even once, which is explained by the fact that essentially nothing was being done. He had one worker who finally did show up, drunk!!! He actually drank beer out of our refrigerator!!! His foreman and one of his subcontractors actually quit working for him because they were so disgusted, and he left us holding the bag to pay vendors and subcontractors, pocketing the money we paid him. We are trying to get his construction license rescinded, but until then, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moved into my house in October having had DSK contractor build it from scratch. The original plan…read morewas to have DSK do a major renovation to a 59 year old house we have owned for 30 years. In gutting the inside of the old house and looking what would be required to remodel, we began to have second thoughts. Many of our friends who remodeled an old home told us they wished they had torn it down and started again. After some thought we did just that. We interviewed several contractors and found most wanted us to use "their" set plans from Honsador and although we could modify, each modification upped the price quite a bit. Building costs were quoted between $150 to $350 a square foot. DSK provided us with an architect and drafts woman who came over to our old house and she walked around asking what we liked and didn't like. A few weeks later she came up with some beautiful plans for a totally custom house that we agreed on with very few modifications. After waiting nearly 7 months for a building permit. (another story altogether) DSK began construction of our home in April and we moved in at the beginning of October just over 6 months breaking ground. We cannot be more pleased with our new home. I fully expected some issues with a brand new house and we have had none thus far. I would not be telling the truth if I said everything went perfectly, of course it didn't, we were building a new house from scratch. Everyone told us it could be pretty frustrating sometimes with so many decisions that have to be made almost by the hour. A plan on paper is one thing but once its real, things look a little different. We made several changes and Holika was on top of them all he kept reminding us that this was the house we were to live in for the next thirty years, "make it right". We did. A couple of things came up that really impressed us. One of his carpenters had made several trusses a bit too short but advised us that with a little blocking and bondo it would not be noticed. We did not agree and had planed to tell Holika, but when we arrived the next morning to tell him, the carpenters had already removed all the short trusses and were replacing them. They told us that Holika had come by later in the evening and had seen the work and ordered them removed and replaced without having consulted with us. Another situation with a sub contracted tile company resulted in faulty work in one bathroom. Holika had them start all over again two times. The third time Holika asked me what I though and I was hesitating a bit because I wanted the house done. Holika looked at me and said, "if it were my house, Id have him do it again." They did it again and I am so glad they did. I could tell you more but you can see the pattern. We are pleased with DSK, its employees and staff. Upon finishing the house we had a blessing and bar-b-que party for all who helped build this house and were treated to a roast pig in our yard. The building inspectors came many times throughout the construction and the Permit was signed off with us receiving the certificate of occupancy three months after it was finished, which I hear is pretty good from the DPP. The ultimate question is that if I had to do it all over again, would I use DSK and my answer is a definitive , yes and we are still enjoying the, "house that Holika built."

Brian Installed a new roof on our building 4 years ago. $30k++. Not a small job…read more Just found a damaged valley which has caused dry rot under shingles and at the eave. Not trivial. No one has been on the roof since new roof was installed so while we're not sure the damaged occurred at that time of installation, logic points to it. Its a question. Also someone put roof tar on the holes to try and cover up. Sounds like a roofer would do that. This review is because Brian, who has done quite a bit of work for us in the past, will not even come out to look at the problem and discuss a solution. Very disappointing. And not who I thought he was when he was hired.
