Home Remodeling Pro Hawaii

I try not to buy into the “grade inflation” in online reviews, but this company gets a long list of 5 stars for every aspect of the work they performed. I’m going to be as specific as possible, so you see what I mean.

This was a complex project. The house is gigantic, near the ocean, and built like a hotel. It has had very little maintenance since it was completed 35 years ago. Basically, all the windows and doors needed replacement.

Greg, the owner of the company, is a smart guy with many years of construction experience. He is a tough negotiator in dealing with suppliers, and was able to keep costs down even lower than we expected. He has detailed knowledge about the pros and cons of a wide range of window and door brands. He told us honestly upfront how certain of our plans would be better if reformulated. For example, we wanted to remodel as needed to incorporate “big doors” facing the ocean. Greg introduced us to Service aluminum doors with narrow frames that slide and stack in one direction, so the opening appears to be very generous. (Those doors, incidentally, slide noiselessly with one finger. Also, the screens are literally invisible; we thought someone was coming back to install the screens, but they were already in place.) We’re happy to say that every recommendation Greg made was right on target.

Andre, the foreman on the job, is another smart guy, a certified engineer with a flexible and creative approach to problems encountered on the job. He worked in Germany for several years, and brought that country’s high construction standards with him. Andre worked well with his crew. They seemed genuinely to like each other. There was no losing of tempers! Every time I looked out to see this group working, I thought well-oiled machine.

The crew made fast work of the job. It was estimated by others to take 3 months, but they finished it in 3 weeks. Each step was performed competently, and checked to ensure there would be no leaks or wobbles. The crew had to level large sections of window banks, and they came up with solutions as they worked, so the product is perfectly level and straight. It also looks fabulous!

The crew found mold under the trim on a sliding door installation, so they had to remove a sizeable section of the wall surrounding the door frame. They treated the mold and got the area ready to re-apply stucco and sheetrock. The repair is so good that it will not be visible. They found mold under the WTW carpet facing the ocean sliding doors. They pulled up a large section of carpet so they could remove/treat the mold. We now know that a whole carpet replacement is in our future. We wouldn’t have known had they not been so thorough.

As the work progressed, Greg checked in regularly to make sure everything was going as planned. Andre checked with us daily to make sure we were happy with the work and not inconvenienced. The crew cleaned up daily and then thoroughly at the close of the job. They kept noise to a minimum, and warned us in advance when the work would necessarily be loud.

The work crew was remarkably well-mannered and good-natured. There were no bad attitudes. There was no smoking or trashing of the yard. The workers showed up on time on a regular schedule. Every worker had a high level of concern about noise and other inconvenience.

Just as the job was being completed, I had to have surgery. When I got home, the crew presented me with a deluxe post-surgery gift basket! This wasn’t a bribe; they already knew they were going to get a great recommendation. It was just further testimony to their excellence.

Greg and his team epitomize professionalism. I was referred to him and decided to reach out. He responded immediately and was able to come by and provide a quote for 6 windows of varying sizes.

The quote was extremely reasonable and he was very transparent about order times. He mentioned that ordering he windows would take a couple months (those of us in Hawaii understand). Once they arrived, he reached out and scheduled the install.

Greg and his team installed 6 windows in a single-wall, Hicks home in one day! Clean install and looking great! They were done by 3pm which is extremely impressive.

If you needs a remodel done, or even something like some windows, do yourself a favor and use Home Remodeling Pro. Reliable, quick, professional and honest!

We could not have asked for a better experience with Greg and his crew with all the things they have done for our little home. They were very detail oriented, respectful, and very clean workers. They brought our bathroom vision to a reality and we love it. I added a before and after pic for some reference. They also upgraded/replaced interiors doors and in the past they have replaced our exterior doors and windows. Glad we found them.

Mahalo to Greg for keeping everything moving along and on time.
