Tausinga Hafoka

Job was expected to take 2 months max to complete, it has been 10 months, and the job has not been completed. Refused to sign contract, demanded to be prepaid for work. Borrowed tools that were never retuned. Work was not done satisfactorily. CAUTION - DO NOT HIRE

Project started May 6. One day after scheduled start date. Received call afternoon on May 5 saying contractor was not coming. Contractor worked the following Monday but I have not heard from contractor since then. Equipment is still here. I wrote a check for first down payment, but contractor wanted cash even though Home Advisor advised that payment be by check. I asked for a receipt for my cash payment in person and by email, but have not received a receipt. Work thus far looks fine and they clean up at the end of the day. I expect the contractor will complete the job as I requested, but communication style is not what I expected. I worked with many contractors in a land management agency and as an officer for several non-profit organizations. This review may be revised after project is completed.

Customer relations excellentl

only received one quote from this company.

Not reliable. Work product was not good.

Tau helped me with a concrete pouring project in the backyard of a townhouse. This project was complicated because I don’t live in Maui and we had to submit paperwork to the hoa for project plan approval. I’m super pleased with his patience and communication - we had to submit multiple times on the project plan, and I had to deal with a 3-hour time difference. In the end, we got my project done in just a week after I got my keys. I couldn’t be happier with how it tuned out!

Tau and his crew did a great job installing a retaining wall on our property. His team was thorough and accommodating as well. Best of all, the job was finished ahead of schedule. I plan to hire him for our next renovation job.

they showed up when they said they would and completed the concrete in 2 days

Great ideas! Pleased with result!

He does what he says he is going to do. And in the time he says he will.

Poor communication. Poor attention to detail. Lack of pride in craftsmanship. No supervision or standards for work crew. Damaged property. Left garbage and marks on walls and fence. Left power tools plugged in and exposed to rain. Left outdoor water faucet on all day unsupervised. Nice guys, but left me more worried than satisfied. Showed up between 9 and 11. Left by 2 every day. The best part? They let a random child in my yard who left permanent footprints on our concrete and broke outdoor furniture. Need I go on? Will have to have concrete redone in less than five years. Will not use Home Advisor again.

Tausinga Hafoka has done a number of projects for me in the past. They typically do rock and masonry work, but about 20 years ago they installed some pavers for my home as well. I always have been impressed by the quality of the service. The workers are always on time and do good work.
