W.L. Construction Inc

I selected them from Angie's List. They came and gave us an estimate. They were right on with the estimate. They were clean. We were still able to live while they were remodeling. They did everything very timely and neatly. I was very pleased. They do a great job. Their estimate is the final bill. I liked what I saw.

I am remodeling a home in Waianae, HI. I contacted Mr. Liu from my primary home in CA. I care for an elderly parent and can only spend 10-12 days away from her a month. For this reason it is important to be able to depend on all my contractors to show up when they have agreed to do so. I contacted Mr. Liu based on his recommendation on Angie's list. There was a language difficulty but I believed we had reached an agreement for him to come to my house to do the tiling for my bathroom floor, walls and shower. I live far out on the west side of Oahu and often contractors are unwilling to drive the distance required so I am always clear about my location. After my arrival in HI, I contacted Mr. Liu to confirm our agreement. At this time I was referred to his wife. Once again, there was a language difficulty but she repeatedly asked me about materials. I had already chosen and purchased my tile so I informed her I had all the supplies and I only needed Mr. Liu to lay the tile and not to supply the materials. She finally understood and told me she would have Mr. Liu contact me. Needless to say, he did not show up at the appointed time and never returned my call. I suppose he is a fine contractor and makes some extra profit from a materials markup. I have no problem with that but our failure to communicate left me holding the bag until I found Albert Alimoot Jr. He came to my rescue, did a great job using the materials I had already purchased.

Bottom line up front: Reasonably priced, awesomely fast, competent and honest. I've worked with a number of contractors and tradesmen in Hawaii since 1983 -- some good but expensive, some cheap and awful, some were just boobs. Mr. Wilson Liu is the best I have worked with. On Friday, he inspected the old bathtub and shower and made an offer. He said, "it will take three days. We can start tomorrow," which was Saturday. The next morning, Mr. Liu showed up with his crew. They first taped to the floor a walkway of plastic sheeting in a path from the front door to the bathroom, and then immediately set about tearing out the old tile, fixtures, tub and walls. The work was difficult, hot and foul, but they were careful to minimize the mess. My wife went to his shop and picked out the tile and fixtures that she wanted. She also asked for an extra shelf in the shower; he obliged. His crew worked like maniacs, but knocked off promptly at six o'clock. They were always courteous. They meticulously installed the new tile, cutting each piece to fit perfectly, which meant 10,000 trips from the bathroom to the tile saw, which was outside because it is messy. By Sunday evening, the job was largely in place, but the tile needed to set overnight. Monday, they grouted. Gorgeous. We could not be more pleased.
