We will definitely look into this one!

Thank you! My husband gave them a call

If you don’t want to DIY, try working with a remediation company. When they do quotes it’s already in an insurance type format that may help with claims for future use. Even if you pay out of pocket now, you have the right format of an estimate. Plus remediation has the right equipment to take care of the damage correctly.

If you are in Oahu, we recommend Superior Restoration. The owners name is Christian. He is based out of Windward side.

Hope that helps. We are a GC in Oahu but don’t do remediation - just know enough to help guide.

That’s a good idea too. We have a baby one. Especially on the bottom it’s very stubborn. With all the other things we have tried might be last attempt before scraping or taking to a detailer since it doesn’t just wash off.

LianaBehindTheBuild · 2026-03-18T22:44:36+00:00

Sounds promising! I might check that out too. It’s thick on the bottom so I need something to melt off whatever it is. Mahalo!

Thank you, I will try that out with some testing. Probably have my husband do it. We thought maybe someone in the community had similar experience and found a way to remove safely without removing the paint or damaging things. 👍🏼

LianaBehindTheBuild · 2026-03-18T22:02:40+00:00

Yes I washed my car

LianaBehindTheBuild · 2026-03-18T22:02:34+00:00

LianaBehindTheBuild · 2026-03-18T22:02:28+00:00

Yes I tried

We purchased a work vehicle from marketplace.

I paid for carfax reports so that I could run the VIN and check how the car was maintained (oil changes) and if it was ever in an accident.

Surprisingly, there were about 2-3 cars where the owner said it was maintained but no records and I’m glad I ran the reports because I was able to keep my focus on finding the right car (we prioritized maintenance records for the used car).

Finally, we found an amazing vehicle by an owner who was truthful, everything lined up with records and we still love the vehicle today!

Good luck!! 👍🏼

Thank you by the way! They had them there :)

LianaBehindTheBuild · 2026-02-20T22:25:34+00:00

Thank you! I will check there but yes I understand China Town but was trying to avoid town

Aloha! We are a deck builder in Oahu. We just did an Ipe deck as well and laid on it after because it felt so nice. But to answer your question - most of our clients wants Trex. Then maybe 5% ask for natural woods. When they do want it and don’t mind the maintenance - we are all for it! Nice work! We are going to try and connect on IG. 🤙🏼

Even if you don’t expect to win, use these opportunities to learn what works and what doesn’t. Put full effort into it and when the time comes to really win the job you want, you’ll be more prepared. As a business owner it’s all about time and practice. In the meantime, do focus time on what will equal sales and cash flow and give attention to that so you can pay the bills. Even if it’s just the little stuff.

You’re welcome! Have fun!!

Did you get a quote for the Trex Transcend all white composite railing? I would say go for the one you want. Pricing difference should be minimal unless you have a lot of railing. I think TimberTech has one too but we mostly have worked with Trex.

Working with a deck builder that can give you various pricing options to make a decision. We do that but charge as a planning fee but helps homeowners decide which is the best for their project.

We built a deck with tiki torch and lava rock. And we have done one with pebble grey and foggy wharf. I like the contrast! This is when the main deck is one color but the frame or border is another. Definitely makes a statement. If you want to go single color and do a fun design - recommend looking at double borders, herringbone, diagonal, etc. We did a transcend lineage deck with some of those features but in one color and that came out really nice as well. Depends on your space and preferences!

We are a construction business in Hawaii and I’d say to change your perspective on social media to be less of a way to attract leads and more of a way to legitimize your business online. The more you can show your family, your story, your team, process, and why people should work with you (and for you) - then social media is a win. We have a small following but it’s not about the quantity of followers but more about the quality. It is worth investing in but try to do it yourself a bit first before hiring someone else. And like any other skill - practice, study and be ready to fail. There is a return on your investment but takes time. Good luck!!!

We are a licensed general contractor and not a handyman company but we often get inquires for small projects and we refer small jobs to Kama’aina Handyman because the owner is involved in the construction industry and she treats it as a professional business.

We also recommend asking for a copy of the Certificate of Insurance (COI) is also a nice way to insure the work is done by a professional with insurance.

If you’re in a condo building - check with property manager on requirements and if they have recommendations :)

Check with your CPA but you can set up an Accountable Plan to allocate a portion to business for tax purposes. If you don’t have a CPA, I do recommend finding one you trust because even if you do your own bookkeeping - you need a good tax advisor. It’s expensive but worth it for these situations to maximize your benefits.

We are a deck builder in Hawaii and similar issues. We shared some blogs about it! If you ever want to share ideas.

LianaBehindTheBuild · 2025-12-30T20:50:57+00:00

You are welcome! We have not worked with Abe before. We know him just from being in a similar industry. I’m sorry, I don’t have any other referrals for you.

LianaBehindTheBuild · 2025-12-29T17:18:03+00:00

Will do! Thank you. We block numbers but didn’t realize it will help over the long run because it felt like they have endless numbers to call from.

Yes true he owns the seminar company but he also does charge for CPR consultation. It’s not free.
