About Kauai Builders
Building Kauai, One Brick at a Time
What started as a small family operation in 2012 has grown into one of Kauai's most trusted masonry companies. But even as we've expanded, we've never lost sight of what matters most: quality craftsmanship, honest communication, and treating every project like it was our own home.
We saw too many contractors on this island who rushed jobs, used mainland shortcuts, and left homeowners with problems a year later. That's not how we do things.
Every member of our team lives on Kauai. We understand the unique challenges this island presents — from the salt air that corrodes inferior materials to the tropical rains that test every joint and seal. We build for the long haul.

Everything You Need To Know
Most residential projects range from 1-3 weeks depending on scope. A simple patio might take 3-5 days, while a complete outdoor kitchen with fireplace could take 2-3 weeks. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Absolutely! We offer free, no-obligation on-site consultations and estimates. We'll visit your property, discuss your vision, measure the space, and provide a detailed proposal within 48 hours. No pressure, no hidden fees.
We serve all of Kauai including Lihue, Koloa, Poipu, Kapaa, Hanalei, Princeville, and all surrounding areas. No job is too far — we'll travel to wherever you are on the island.
We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. For larger projects, we can arrange a payment schedule that works for you — typically 50% upfront and 50% upon completion.
