With a locally owned and operated company, you can expect friendly, personalized service. All Phases Green Services has been in business for over 20 years and offers great craftsmanship in woodworking, cabinetry, counter-tops and installations. We also specialize in tile installation and renovations.

"I hired All Phases Green for a major kitchen renovation. They had done several projects for us before with good results and had been our go-to company for both small and large jobs. The kitchen started off well, and the company was responsive when design changes or unexpected issues came up. However, I noticed the owner’s helper was not meeting the standard I had come to expect from the owner—paint runs, debris in the finish, and sloppy mistakes that stood out even to me as a homeowner. I raised these concerns, expecting them to be addressed, especially since in the past, he was quick to fix any issue. While one of my concerns turned out to be a natural wood issue, instead of explaining that professionally, the owner replied with a condescending text. Shortly after, rather than taking accountability or offering solutions, he abruptly quit the job with a text message, leaving a large portion of the renovation incomplete. No effort to resolve the situation—just gone. Abandoning a project because a client points out legitimate concerns is incredibly unprofessional. I am absolutely shocked he responded how he did after having worked with him for so long. If a contractor can’t handle feedback or stand behind their team’s work, they shouldn’t be in this business where client feedback should be welcomed. I would not recommend this contractor to anyone."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Honolulu, HI

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
