  Island Contractors is the go to company for all your construction concerns.Our house was aged and needed to be renovated from floor to ceiling, it was a big ask.First thing you will notice about this company is their commitment to answer their phones and/or get back to you in a timely manner.Secondly, they know their job. Knowledgeable in multiple trades and subcontractors that were an absolute joy to work with.The preconstruction process that they take you through really helps in answering all your questions.They walked me through a design phase before doing any construction. By the time hammers were swinging, there were no more questions and I got to watch the process unfold.Cleanliness and organization are at the heart of this companies pulse and flow.We enjoyed working with Brandon & Sean and everyone over at this company.Would recommend to everyone!Service: Home renovations

  Aloha, we highly recommend Island Contractors. They were honest, professional, and did excellent work in all aspects of our kitchen remodel project. We also requested some last minute changes and had extra projects which they completed on time. We loved their staff and the quality of the work performed, and now will only use Island Contractors for future projects no matter how big or small. Marlon and Garrison were exceptional workers and we trusted them in our home with our children and grandchildren. Sean is very knowledgeable with construction and provided us with great options to best meet our needs. It wasn't about the money, it was about serving us as customers and giving us the best product within our budget. Even when we called after hours or on weekends, they responded quickly to solve any concerns we had. It was an enjoyable experience for us and we will continue to support Island Contractors. Mahalo nui loa!Services: Construction management

  I cannot recommend Island Residential / Island Contractors enough! From the very first contact, they were responsive, thoughtful, and encouraging. Many contracting firms didn’t even return my calls. Sean and Brandon not only responded, but worked with me long-distance to determine what we could tackle within my needs and budget. We traded sketches, ideas for materials, and screenshots, ultimately deciding on a great remodel plan. Sean would even shoot videos as he drew things out on a white board to ensure that I understood all of the options and his recommendations. Not once did I ever feel like I was being pressured into using a certain material or accepting a bad design. It was a total collaborative effort. Island Contractors’ team abated the popcorn ceilings throughout my home; repainted all of the walls, ceilings, and doors; and completely overhauled the kitchen and a bathroom. While I was off-island, they sent pictures and videos *every day* so that I was kept informed of how the project was progressing. They promptly answered any questions I had, and apprised me if anything surprising popped up. Unlike some contractors who increase the price or skimp on materials, Island Contractors stuck to our original budget and materials. We did find some unexpected issues, but worked together to decide how to resolve them for a fair price. Island Contractors finished the painting and remodel exactly on time, and within our agreed-upon budget. They came back to do some additional work, including building a gorgeous custom bookshelf, which was also completed on time and within budget. And then… my water heater sprung a slow leak. By the time it was discovered, there was water underneath all of the flooring and standing water and mold in a bathroom. I should mention that I discovered it on Super Bowl Sunday and even though Sean was hosting a gathering at his house, he answered my text and even called me to make sure I was ok for that day. The crew responded quickly after that, pulling up the flooring, cutting drywall, and drying everything out. Sean recommended a plumber who replaced the hot water heater for me within a week. The pricing for the remediation and the flooring replacement was easily accepted by the insurance company, and now they are about halfway into replacing the flooring. Island Contractors discussed all of the potential flooring materials with me and helped me choose something that would be long-lasting and ideal for my home. I think I’ve worked with almost everyone on the team: Sean, Brandon, Arnold, Marllon, Luke, Patrick, Adam, Glenn… Am I forgetting anyone? They have all been just wonderful. I feel as if I have a true partner for anything I might need to not only maintain my home but to improve it. Don’t hesitate to give Island Contractors a call!

  I recently had the pleasure of working with Island Residential for my kitchen renovation. The team worked tirelessly to update my circa 1970s kitchen to a sleek, modern cooking space with all the amenities you'd expect in the 2020s. From Brandon's first visit to my apartment for the initial assessment to Marllon and Adam's punctual and daily hands-on work, Sean's crew carried themselves with the utmost professionalism throughout the process.What really impressed me by this contractor team was their communication. Not only did they always make time to take my calls/texts for any questions I had, but during the renovation, if anything came up, they immediately contacted me. This type of communication is rare these days as I've tried working with other contractors in the past who rarely answered my basic questions.I should also note that my project is probably considered a small project (1bd, 1br apartment). I know many contractors do not take small projects, preferring to work larger, more profitable jobs, but Island Residential always made me feel like my renovation goals were their top priority!In terms of cost, renovations in Hawai'i aren't cheap, however, Island Residential was very transparent in their prices, and did everything they could to keep my project exactly in the budget I wanted.Mahalo nui Brandon, Sean, Marllon and Adam. I look forward to working with your team again for future renovations!Services: Tile work installation

  Island Residential Services has a skilled team that does exceptional work! I enjoyed working with Arnold, Brandon, and Sean as they were very responsive and accommodating and focused on creating a high-quality finished kitchen for us. Sean is a creative problem solver and always had ideas to ensure that the project would turn out great. It was especially great having a skilled craftsman like Marlon work on our kitchen remodel as he focused on the small details and creating perfection! Great company to work with!

  Brandon is very professional, reliable and responsive in servicing customers. It can be difficult to find such integrity and work ethic in this day. This is important, especially when you're in a bind. I highly recommend Island Residential Services because they show up on time, get the job done right and are completely transparent in pricing. This is a gem!!!

  Island Residential was an absolute pleasure to work with. First of all, it took me over nine months to find the right contractor to work with, as I was specifically looking for someone who is willing to listen to what my ideas were, as well as use their expertise to come to a great decision on a plan. I did a kitchen and a half bath remodel, which spanned from flooring, to paint, to new cabinetry, light fixtures and countertops. Sean and Brandon have done a great job of listening and executing. No construction project is without its hiccups, but I felt like I was always in communication with the team to understand what the possible solutions were available to me. Thanks for a great job done and now on to the next project!!!

  Highly recommend! Brandon, Sean (Owner), and crew are absolutely fantastic to work with! They were incredibly nice and also reliable, responsive, and flexible in working with our needs/budget/schedule. Island Residential does great work for fair prices. They rescued us during a flood disaster caused by a broken pipe, and they handled everything from the water mitigation, to packing & storing our belongings, to the full renovation. Highly recommend!

  On 19Oct22 the men of Island Residential Services completed very beautiful work at our home (see attached photo).Master Carpenter (Marlon) is 45 days new to Hawai'i. Here something we found about Marlon early on in our build. When Marlon has his earbuds in, leave him alone and prepared to be amazed. His work is nothing short of what I consider master class execution. Razor sharp with clean lines, rock solid framing, and near perfect 90-degree angles. Marlon was always on time to the job site, dressed appropriately in company uniform, and very respectful. We are having more work done to our house and we are requesting Marlon to do the work. If you have the privilege of Marlon working on your house and you feel like buying him lunch for the awesome work, his is sure to do. L&L bbq mixed plate is the only way to go. He was absolutely blown away with their food. Also, put some water in the fridge for Marlon. This dude drinks lots of water when he's working.Mad Scientist (Sean) owns Island Residential Services. From the beginning to the end of the process, Sean was very involved. His attention to detail was clearly evident during the planning process as Sean meticulously took measurements, developed architect level drafts, and scribed the end state on the wall for a more accurate visual. He was involved throughout the process ensuring quality or work, cleanliness/organization of the jobsite, and ensured the project was on schedule. Before securing Island Residential Services under contract, we spoke with other contractors as any homeowner should. Long story short, had my wife and I not done more independent research, we would have been ripped off and that is not a BS story. Sean came in extremely honest with his approach while refusing to sugarcoat any part of the build, products, or cost.

  There was a leak from an adjoining unit, Brandon came by & detected moisture in my unit. They quickly dried out area & reconstructed it back to normal. Patrick did great work, very thorough & professional. Brandon returned to do a final inspection. It was an unfortunate situation but I’m happy with the results!Thank you all!
