We are grateful to have had Luke Stensland and the team at H-1 Construction for our renovation. If integrity, communication, and quality work are important to you, you will love working with H-1. We met Luke in 2010 when we replaced windows on the 1963 built Kane'ohe home we had just purchased. The window vendor recommended Luke when the person we had hired to install the new windows dropped out suddenly. What a blessing to have the H-1 team step in and get the job done efficiently and beautifully. Fast forward to 2020 … we are planning a big renovation ... adding over 600sf under the roof plus a 500sf workshop / carport to our posts and piers home. The area to be renovated is under our existing dwelling and needed a lot of dirt removed before construction could begin. My husband ambitiously thought he and some subcontractors could tackle this project. Because of this we talked to about a half dozen contractors and subcontractors. I quickly saw how unrealistic it would be to piece this project together and I contacted Luke who had been my first thought when we decided to do the renovation. Whew … I was relieved and elated that he was willing to take the job. I appreciated the clarity of his bid after having received bids from others by text or emails that lacked details. Even though it was not the lowest bid, H-1 Construction was worth every penny given the quality of work and the quality of the people on the H-1 team—office team as well as construction crew and subcontractors were all great. Several trades were involved, mason, plumbers, and electricians. We were kept informed and H-1 coordinated the work to keep the job flowing. This was especially appreciated because the project was 8 months long. Yes, challenges happened yet Luke looked for and provided solutions that were fair and a win for all. We are loving our renovation. The project ended over 2 years ago, yet Luke stuck by us while we dealt with circumstances beyond anyone’s control to get the building permit closed. This finally happened last month (June 2023). Luke’s support helped us get through the final steps with the building inspector. We absolutely recommend Luke Stensland and H1-Construction whole-heartedly and without reservation. Mahalo nui loa! Marci and Tim

I just had to share our amazing experience with H1C, the construction company that made our Hawaiian dream home a reality. Luke, Xi, and Jo, you're not just professionals you're now our friends for life. Our custom home is a true masterpiece, and it's all thanks to the incredible team at H1C. What impressed us the most was how they tackled unexpected issues that popped up during the project. They didn't stress us out; instead, they presented solutions and made it all seem easy. The weekly updates they provided, whether it was a video or an on-site visit, kept us in the loop and gave us peace of mind. H1C's personal touch and open communication really set them apart. Luke, Xi, and Jo treated us like family, not just clients. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship are unmatched. They've not only built us a house; they've created a loving home where we'll cherish memories forever. If you're in search of a construction company that's professional, caring, and truly dedicated, we wholeheartedly recommend H1C. They've gone above and beyond to make our dream come true, and we couldn't be happier. Thanks a million, H1C, for everything.

I contacted H-1 Construction for a partial home remodel and I was very impressed with the professionalism and quality of work. During the process a flaw was discovered with the original home build and Luke at H-1 corrected the problem, no hesitation and no outrageous price increase, he just handled it. If you want a quality job done right then H-1 is the way to go.
