Ryan L. Kapaa, HI

“I had a problem with our door opener and Norman came out promptly and correctly diagnosed and addressed the problem. He was there on time and was very efficient and knowledgeable. It turned out great. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and reliable company. On top of it he is a super nice guy– full of the aloha spirit!”

Chris Ruiz, Kauai, HI

“I called them one day and they came out first thing the following morning. They were on time and very knowledgeable. They completed the job quickly and efficiently. I would definitely use them again and I recommend them to others.”

Michelle & Liam S. Anahola, HI

Our garage door wouldn’t close no matter what we tried and, since it was 4:30 pm, we were worried we would have to leave it open all night. We called James after finding his name on google and he came out within an hour, immediately identified the multiple problems with the garage door, and repaired them all. We live near the ocean where everything quickly rusts, and when we need a new door I will definitely call Norman’s.”
