Contractors in Kahului

“I was so pleased with my experience with Stella Lani I wanted to post my comments. My project was to install oversized windows and to complete the interior and exterior patchwork afterward. It was a rocky start as Stella Lani was a last minute fill in. My original contractor handed over the project to Tony Wilmet, owner of Stella Lani and Valley Isle Windows and Doors. And I am glad he did as Tony and his crew did an excellent job.I had a very tight and specific schedule, but the crew met my demand from start to finish, despite the fact that my expensive custom windows were measured incorrectly. Tony being an expert on windows quickly came up with a solution to resolve the issue.There was no guessing because they updated me daily on the progress and timeline. The room had lots of white and brand new light carpet, but they covered everything carefully that there was no damage. They also cleaned up very well after their work.I am in a condo where the association is extremely particular about the exterior, and they did a nice job patching and painting it to its original form.Tony and his crew were professional, timely, clean and responsive. They took pride in their work. I highly recommend Stella Lani and will be sure to hire them for my next project.“

“In a word we feel blessed to have found Josh for our 100% condo renovation in Wailea. Since we would be doing this mostly from the mainland, a contractor with the highest integrity, knowledge, and work ethic was essential. Josh Landry is all these and more.With one in-person meeting and a couple pictures of our kitchen idea (the defining upgrade of the whole condo), Josh’s cabinet designer produced a glorious plantation-style which increased square footage, cabinet space, and usability. Josh navigated a couple engineering challenges with professional ease (removing 30 year old walls and cabinetry can produce surprises), coming up with great, functional solutions.Landry Construction was very responsive via their construction software, and communications were always timely. Josh’s estimate is spelled out in each category on this website so you know where you are with the costs, what you’ve paid, what products are agreed to, all communications, etc. at-a-glance.The project completed ahead of schedule. I received 100% of my “condo-imposed damage fee” back, as Josh does very clean, skillful work, not to leave out his specialty sub-contractors, some we met near the end of the project, all real nice people.Services: Tile work installation“

“We own a condo in Kihei. We had just finished remodeling our condo when a flash flood deposited 4-5 inches of water and mud throughout our home. Our contractor was a blessing and worked over the next 48 hours to remove the standing water and much of the mud. I knew I still needed a remediator to finish the cleaning and prevent mold, so I called MD Restoration.Kale was at Home Depot getting supplies when I called the evening of the flood (Friday). He gave me some general information and asked if he could call me back when he was out of the store. He called back within 10 minutes. Kale gave me lots of information and said that he was going to handle cases in the order he received calls, so if I could find someone else who would get there sooner, go with them. He did not say it in a manner that suggested he did not want to help or did not want my business; he was being practical in a situation where time is of the essence and I appreciated that. Kale texted the next day (Saturday), reiterating that he was handling cases in the order of calls received. I asked him to please keep me on his list, which he acknowledged he would. Kale called the next day (Sunday) from my property and I gave him my door code. He entered the unit, then sent me photos of its current state, an explanation of the work that was needed, and when he could start. I passed the information on to my contractor, who agreed with the assessment and said that he and his team could do the needed demolition on Monday, so that when Kale's team got there they would just have to do the cleaning and drying.Kale's team started the cleaning and drying process on Tuesday. My contractor had done more cleaning by then, but there was still plenty to do. Kale's team cleaned up the remaining mud and set up equipment to dry the walls. Throughout the process, Kale was prompt in his communication and did what he said he would do. When I arrived a week after the flood and saw the unit, my only critique was that the grout in the tile floors had not been scrubbed and there was mud staining around the floor edges and corners. Basically, the floor needed detailing. In fairness, this may be a level of cleaning that is beyond what remediators do. They also don't clean the mud out of the interiors of appliances. I was fine with what MD does and does not do, but if you have a whole-house flood that also involves mud you may want to ask questions so that your expectations are managed.I met Kale in person to thank him for his help. He offered advice for the repairs from the perspective of someone who regularly deals with water intrusion. Kale knew that my contractor would make all repairs, so his advice was completely from a place of wanting to be helpful. Kale also acknowledged that our bedroom fan was not broken when he first entered our unit, but it was now broken. (We had also noticed the broken fan, but did not mention it.) Kale said that his team is usually good about letting him know when things like that happen, but, when he asked them, they said they did not do it. I could see where he was coming from: something was broken, but was it my contractor's guys or Kale's guys? We weren't there, so we don't know. Although that was fair, he maybe could have knocked a small amount off the price as a courtesy, just in case his guys unknowingly were the culptrits, but honestly, in the grand scheme of what we were dealing with, the fan was not my priority and I appreciated that Kale noticed the breakage and checked with his guys. I found Kale to be highly responsive and helpful. The invoice I was provided includes pictures and a detailed breakdown of the work that was done each day, which I suspect will be useful when I seek reimbursement from my insurer. As Kale said, I hope I never have to call him again, but if disaster strikes I would not hesitate to do so.“

“We bought a very dated condo in Kaanapali with an incredible view in late 2018. We knew it needed a lot of help. After talking to several contractors we felt Palani Alexander at ADR understood our vision for the place. Our building is older and that always presents unique challenges...all were handled beautifully. We were a little concerned about long distance communication but it was pretty seamless.Through pintrest boards and many calls everything came together. We even video chatted from the tile and counter top store. We love the way it all turned out. It was completed in July 2019. The response from our renters was tremendous. Almost too much because we could barely get time to visit for ourselves. The work included new flooring, new counter tops, totally gutted and remodeled 2 bathrooms, added a washer and dryer, new ceilings, and all new interior doors. The best part is that everyone we worked with were lovely people on top of knowing their stuff. They are busy for a reason and worth waiting for. Thank you, Palani and crew for making our dream come true.Service: Refurbishment“
