He told us that they have a vast selection and we should be able to find what we want. If we couldn't find it, he said they could order it but it could take weeks to arrive so he nudged us to go ASAP. We went as soon as our schedule allowed for it and surprisingly PAL was very easy to find. They have a private lot with ample parking. The staff here is very friendly and we were greeted almost immediately. Everyone was quite nice and assisted us from selecting the design we were looking for to rolling up the 4 x 8 sheet to put into our vehicle. The whole process was seamless. We found one finish that we were looking for but unfortunately the other finish we wanted was not available. If they had it, we would have purchased that from them too. Very reasonable pricing and we highly recommend them when looking for building supplies, kitchen, bathroom and flooring.

We called and made an appointment with Shelby Frank and told her that we were looking for a solid surface for our shower and countertops. At our appointment, Shelby was very helpful with providing information about the Staron solid surface line colors and patterns. She provided samples and even showed us whole sheets so that we could see the entire patterns that you can't see on a small sample. This helped us tremendously in deciding which colors to choose. We appreciate Shelby's help with her can-do attitude and professionalism. Thank you Shelby and Pacific American Lumber.

Yes I know there are other options however you would have to be happy with the product and design as ones kitchen is one place where you go into pretty much every day so if you are going to spend money you should get what you like. We saw that Bella Pietra Design sold Dekton and when I walked into the store I saw so many options for flooring, backslash and showers. You could spend a good two hours looking and imagining what your place could look like as they have lots of varieties to choose from. I had the privilege of talking to Meagan and she showed me around the whole showroom. She is very knowledgeable in the products they sell. She was educating me the pros and cons with the different stones. One of the things that make it hard to pick out a certain design is that the samples are small and you can't see the while sheet. That's where Meagan told me she could set up a special showing of the whole sheet so we can get the actual feel and look of the design. Very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend coming down to see all the different options you could do to renovate or for your new build.

Very disappointing service. I purchased these tiles from this company, and when I picked them up,…read morethe boxes were already badly damaged like this. When I brought them back to return them, instead of helping me, they gave me a lot of excuses, refused the return, and tried to say the damage was my responsibility. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've had. I'm a contractor and regularly purchase materials from many different suppliers, so I understand how these situations are normally handled. Their prices are already higher than many other places, and I did not expect the service to be this poor. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company.

We will continue using them moving forward with our home renovation. Thank you so much Dave and Brian!

Worst renovation experience in my lifetime (and there have been several bad ones, especially here…read morein Hawaii). Probably spent around $250,000 to renovate the pool area at my house and they never finished the job. Best I can piece together, after stringing me along for six months waiting for tiles to complete the project that never came, is that the pavers they sold me are no longer available. I must have been sold a "clearance item" without even a clearance price tag (not that I would have chosen to buy closeout products for exactly this reason). My only recourse now, since I cannot get the pavers to complete the project, is to rip the whole damn thing out and start over -- and hope the next contractor is more reputable.

When looking for a contractor, you have to have someone who knows what you are looking for, your…read moresense of style and can see the vision as well as give you some suggestions to enhance or to possibly improve what you were hoping the outcome to be. That is what the team at Renovate Hawaii did for us. We met Kyle (we call him Kyle Style because he has a good sense of style that we like) who is part of the Renovate Hawaii team and when we were describing the vision we were going for, he knew exactly what we were talking about and even showed us pictures of a renovation they recently did. We wanted a full renovation of the kitchen, dining room. We already knew what countertops, appliances, we wanted and Kyle complemented us on our choices as the look is totally modern. He said that they can get us the countertops as only a select few can get them due to they only sell to officially licensed companies who are certified to work with that particular brand stone. After Kyle did all the measurements and took down the notes he made another appointment to bring back Matt the owner of Renovate Hawaii to come and give his expert opinions as well as options. When Matt came down, he noticed that the cabinets were actually custom made, not one of those cookie cutter ones from China or from one of the big box stores. He suggested on having them refinished by a company that does really good work ( I will make a review for that company later ). Matt and Kyle were looking around gave us ideas and somethings we didn't even think about like what kind of fixtures we were going to get and where would the placements be. They even upgraded all the hinges to soft-close for our drawers and cabinets. The kitchen had dated tile and the rest of the rooms were a mixture of old carpet, hardwood and lament so they tore it all out as well as the baseboards and got rid of all the rubbish. We found a place that had all the flooring in stock and Matt said his guys could pick it up and delivery to our house which made life so much easier. They even picked up our baseboards from The Home Depot. They went beyond in helping us get what we wanted. Since we had our own electrician Tory who is also the bomb as he too gave us great suggestions and connected the lighting so we can use an app to operate them as well as did so much more. Renovate and Tory worked well together to make our dream a reality. One thing to note is that not all things go as smoothly as you'd like. For the things that needed to be fixed, Matt and the team came back to take care of them. If you are looking for someone to help you turn your house into a home, don't hesitate to call Renovate Hawaii as that's what they do. We are looking forward to work with them again in fixing up our townhouse.

But if you have time to reply to a negative review on Yelp, give customers a quick call, especially after they leave you messages. Small gestures like that show good customer service.

We are a small community, we try to support small, local businesses, and it doesn't cost a thing helping each other. Thanks!
