So the day after I wrote a 1 star review, I got an e-mail from a Jon Zimmerman about when he can contact me. I told him I'm retired, so pretty much free. Friday, I get a call, and he makes like we have a bad connection. He called from work, and I have a brand new i-phone with Verizon as my server, and I'm at home. No call back attempt. I canceled, because if this is how he treats me, can you imagine when you actually start the project?

Tried getting simple quotes for different jobs at my house. They came out and said no problem. When they sent the quote they only gave one and said it's all or nothing.

It also was an outrageous price. I could have had a whole new house built for the price they gave me. I'm no fool to how much things cost. I'm a jack of all trades just don't have the time to do it myself.

Lied to me in person. Shame on this company.

Will not use them and recommend you don't even waste your time contacting this company!

We just signed our contract with Homeworks and are super excited!

Our home remodeling journey began a few months back. Initially we thought we would manage the project on our own, but quickly realized that coordinating a remodel of our magnitude would not be so straightforward--particularly on top of juggling work, children and other responsibilities.

We were stuck.

Luckily, we read about Homeworks Construction online and placed a call. Within days Marshall and Jon came to our property for a walkthrough. The following week, they proposed a plan of action and provided a quote.

After several months of regularly visiting properties with a realtor and actively searching I finally found an absolutely fantastic property that I was very excited about buying but I wanted to make sure that building a house on it would be affordable and that it was possible to build there. I called Homeworks Construction and spoke with them and they seemed enthusiastic about the idea and told me that someone would call me back with more details and so that I could get a quote on a price and also information about whether or not the lot was buildable. They never called me back so I called them

Sooo glad we went with Homeworks Construction!! We extended our first floor and added a bedroom and ADA bathroom for my dad. The entire process was painless and the project was completed ahead of schedule. The team was professional, courteous and reliable. Highly recommend Homeworks Construction if you need to do any work on your home or business.

Homeworks exceeded our expectations. We are ecstatic about our new Ohana addition and Lanai! We had interviewed a handful of builders and our outlook bleak until we met Heather Hickox. We've had an absolutely positive building experience with this professional team. Every step of the way Marc Dawson and Elyse Grable were professional, prompt and resourceful. All members of the build team were exceptional in the quality of their workmanship and skill. Their fees were not only reasonable but very flexible working with in our budget. Our build was not a million dollar one but they treated

Our home was built in 1952 and with a few minor remodels along the way we decided it was time to bring our house into the 21st century. We knew immediately what contractor we wanted to use and that was Homeworks Construction, Inc. We had worked with them 12 years ago on another project and had nothing but good memories. Sure enough they made what could have been an overwhelming experience nothing but simple and easy. All along the way we were provided with a time line and they came in on time even with some of our change orders affecting it. They provided architectural help as well as everything

We ordered our Wellborn kitchen cabinets through Homeworks and our Durasupreme kitchenette and 5 vanities through another company. The Wellborn cabinets molded and the Durasupreme still haven't. I was told I should hire someone to check it out, basically you're on your own by both Wellborn and Homeworks. Seems like companies that stood behind their product would have wanted to send someone to check it out. Along with continued poor communication and unnecessary delays this was a very frustrating experience.

Homeworks build a master bedroom addition, extended our back deck and remodeled the previous master into a tv/media room. The workmanship of the remodel was excellent. The home inspector on purchasing the home reported that Homeworks used quality materials and didn't skimp on building materials. Something to do with the large beams and construction materials are top notch. We are super happy with the quality and workmanship of Homeworks. Everything was permitted and approved.

Here is the real reason I give Homeworks five stars. About two years later after we purchased the home we get

This is a long overdue review but my experience is almost exactly the same as Hiroko's (see her review) and with the same Homeworks employee too. George said he was going to meet us at our newly purchased home on Friday August 26th at 4 pm (I have the email to prove it). I was there at exactly the agreed upon time and made sure to adjust my work schedule (I'm a very busy doctor and work late hours) to ensure I made it on time. He called my cell phone 30 minutes past the appointment time to let me know that he could not make it as he was stuck in "traffic" and then he rescheduled

I have found Home works to be very respectful, listening to my needs and very reasonable.
I have also learned how they volunteer in the community to fix local schools, churches.
This company has been around a very long time and they know the land, how to expedite the process and get the job done.

This company built my new beautiful home out on the North Shore. They were attentive from the
beginning to the end. Any problems they would rectify. I worked with one of the owners, Marshall,
& he always addressed any concerns I had.
they are busy; they do the job from the beginning to the end.
Thanks Homeworks!

This is an outstanding company! They are very honest, respect the beautiful original Ohana homes, as well as full remodels and new construction.
They have a full team that keeps you informed along the process. costs are kept in line. This company can do it all within their firm so you don't need to seek out subcontractors on your own.

I agreed with SA and Kathy H! We had an appointment with George and called us to postpone the appointment because he had to go to dentist. The second appointment he didn't showed up. I saw him and the company booth at Home show. If you wants job why they didn't take good care of customer?! I can not trust this company!

Marshall, I read your review. It takes you only a day to respond to a yelp review yet you did not respond to any one of six phone calls over the past 4 weeks as a follow up to what you committed to do (having someone come out and look at my roof).

If you were as concerned as much with returning phone calls and honoring your word to me as you are in protecting your yelp reviews we would not be here. Because you have chosen this avenue as the only avenue to communicate I will oblige and respond in kind.

I will let the reader decide who is petty. Your representation of what was said is not

These guys took 2 yrs to complete a home renovation that was supposed to take 6months! Mismanagement, delays, etc. All across the board very dissappointed in work done.

A little over 4 years ago, Homeworks built our home in Kaimuki. We researched the top 5 residential construction companies on island and met with most of them. We decided to sign with Homeworks because they were able to share detail of the process, quality of work and were very responsive in answering our millions of questions. (Big thanks to Kim Green) They did a demo of the old house and built the new house and worked with us every step of the way. The quality of work was great! We had a couple of issues working with our PM, however, Marshall and Sylvio (owners) were so amazing and exceeded

In the past, we have used other reputable contractors who we thought to renovate one house and built another house that was a nightmare! This time as we built our home in Manoa, we asked many friends in the business for referrals. We wanted to use a company who cared about their reputation, a design build that would make it an easier process and they gave us what we wanted.

We had many meetings in the conference rooms with (which I thought was very effective) either with Peter, who helped us with the plans and contract, my project manager Heather who was so easy to work with and there every
