Just had an extensive remodel completed. House looks great. Pricing was fair and the invoice was straight forward and itemized. Would definitely work with them again.

I can’t say enough good things! We had two complete replacements (that proved to be a tricky-but a breeze for Handy Oahu!) of shower/tub fixtures and we are blown away with how seamless the work was done. You can’t even tell that the non-working faucets were there.

Mahalo to Patrick! He came through on a custom project for us, and he knocked it out of the park. Super friendly, made awesome recommendations, and real trustworthy. I would hire him again.

It was great experience. Fast and organized. Fair price and door still working. So this 5 star it's something what he deserved! I will definitely use your service if I'll get issues with my garage door again.

I would start with zero stars if I could. Matt is the consummate snake oil salesman. He talks a huge game but delivers nothing.
We overpaid for his services based on his review, only to find out from his subcontractors that he goes back after the fact on past jobs to give “freebies and add-ones” in order to satisfy poor reviews and get his vaunted “perfect 5-star review”. To top it off, he makes his subs pay for the add-one out of their overhead! I should have gone with my gut the first time we met, or when he surprised us with the fact that we would have to do a permit as an owner/builder since he doesn’t actually have a full general contractor’s license. He has to use his dad’s license number, but doesn’t because his own dad charges him 5% to use it.
His team destroyed our yard and only cleaned up after repeated requests to fix things. My garden and irrigation system heads remain buried. Contractual requirements remain unfulfilled, despite the fact that we have paid him over half of the “max budget”.
I’m attaching some pictures of his fine work, including the new hole in our exterior ceiling where his employee stepped through the floor and didn’t repair it.
Stay far away from this guy. His subs were decent, but Matt is out of his depth as a contractor. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Over budget, not in schedule, and left to hold the bag with a mess to have to hire somebody else to come fix.
Please, please, heed my warnings. Both my wife and I are vets and generally trust people and take them in their word. Don’t make our mistake and trust Matt Azouz and Handy Hawaii

Matt, Kavika, and team were very friendly and helpful. They made sure that all of my needs/wants were met and were very flexible with my weird work schedule. They kept me up to date with the progress on my kitchen and even helped out with lodging costs when I could not live in my place. my kitchen looks fantastic and I would highly recommend.

I had been looking for a contractor to renovate my outdated kitchen built in the '60's. I did not have a lot of luck receiving responses from contractors that I had tried to contact for an estimate. Within 15 minutes of my first contact with Matt, he responded and set an appointment. From my initial meeting, I already knew that Matt would be very responsive and helpful from the beginning to the end of the project. He offered suggestions to my dream of how I'd like the kitchen to be and was able to scale down some of the plans to meet my budget. His BuilderTrend program was extremely helpful in giving me the entire picture of my project from product selection to online payment timeline. The workmanship was excellent and if any one area was not quite to my liking, he was sure to make an adjustment. His project manager, Kavika, was right along side of him and coordinating behind the scenes. Pictures were posted daily of the progress and I could communicate with him while I was at work via the BuilderTrend program. I have got to say, hands down, that I would recommend Matt and his crew to anyone, every time.

Our front room, mud room and second bathroom badly needed work. We chose Handy Hawaii / Hawaii Design and Development to do the work, after getting a number of estimates from others. We liked that they guaranteed that the cost would not go above the estimate given. As the work progressed, we most definitely liked the crew of workers who did the majority of the work. They were hard workers, very personable, very capable, and willing to work longer hours to get a particular job finished. They put in a new ceiling and lighting, repainted all the walls, put in new flooring, installed a new toilet and sink. Most important, they came up with answers to some problems that came up because of the age and structure of this old house. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend this company.

I contacted Handy Hawaii last month. I made an appointment with Rob to come to my apartment to give me a quote on my kitchen. We agreed on a time and date. Rob never showed up to the appointment and he never called to cancel or reschedule either. I called several times to see what happened and left messages and no call backs. My husband took time off work so he could meet Rob and even waited for him an extra 45 mins before he went back to work. I think it's important that if you are not going to make and appointment you should call. I wouldn't recommend this company.

Kailua Kitchen and bath. This is a top notch construction service. Very organized. Reasonably priced. Had my bathroom and kitchen done in only 4 weeks. Very clean. Final price came in lower than my original budget.

Please do not use him he took 35k from us and never even came close to completing the project. He (Matt or Matthew Azouz) did a very shady job of doing an initial rough in for a master bedroom and bath and his team took their tools and left and never came back! During the 3 weeks his team was at our house we only saw him 4 times and my husband was there all day long with his team. We simply wanted him to finish the job but he was too immature to even discuss the situation with us. I am in the US Army and it makes me sick that he does this to those that serve! DO NOT USE HIM EVEN FOR SIMPLE JOBS!!!!!

Matt, Kavika, and team were very friendly and helpful. They were very flexible with my crazy work schedule and kept me up to date on the progress as they were working. My kitchen looks fantastic and I would highly recommend.
