Company History

The business began over three decades ago when a local tradesperson combined woodworking skill with general handyman work to meet island needs. Projects started as small repairs and grew into custom furniture, fencing, and trade-inspected services. Over time the shop added licensed electrical and plumbing capabilities to reduce subcontracting and keep projects local.

Work focuses on longevity in a salty, windy climate. Materials and methods are chosen to hold up to tropical rains, sun, and the occasional hurricane-force swell that impacts coastal properties.

Leadership

Leadership is local. The founder and core crew are long-time North Kohala residents with practical experience in construction, woodworking, and building codes. They participate in community repair days and advise homeowners on durable upgrades that fit island life.
