Why This Matters

Hiring a contractor on the Big Island shouldn't be this hard.

Most homeowners here have a horror story — a crew that ghosted, a project that ballooned, a job that came back looking nothing like what was quoted.

Nobody answers the phone

You leave messages, never hear back. Quotes take weeks, if they come at all. We answer, show up, and tell you exactly what things will cost.

Projects balloon out of scope

"Small jobs" somehow double in price. We quote what the job actually takes — and if something unexpected shows up behind a wall, we tell you before we swing a hammer.

You're juggling five trades

Tile guy, drywall guy, painter, framer — all on different schedules. We handle almost everything in-house (except plumbing and electric), so the project actually moves.

What We Do

Kitchen remodels, additions & repairs — all under one roof.

We take on just about anything that isn't plumbing or electric — kitchen remodels, bath remodels, additions, and repairs across Kona. Big projects, small projects, and the in-between jobs most GCs won't touch.

About JA Construction

A Kona remodeling crew you can actually count on.

JA Construction & Remodeling has been building, remodeling, and repairing homes in Kona and across the Big Island of Hawaii for 18 years. We're based in Kailua-Kona and serve everywhere from Kailua-Kona down to Ocean View.

We're generalists by design — you shouldn't need to hire five different contractors to get one project done. Outside of plumbing and electric (we coordinate with trusted local sub-contractors for those), we handle everything ourselves. Framing, roofing, tile, cabinetry, drywall, finish carpentry, flooring, paint — it's all the same crew, so there's one point of contact from start to finish.

We show up on time, clean up at the end of the day, and finish what we start. That's it. No tricks, no upsells, no surprise line-items at the end. Just solid work and straight answers.

FAQ

Good questions.

What most people ask before they call us.

What areas do you serve?
We cover the entire west side of the Big Island — from Kailua-Kona north to Waikoloa and south all the way to Ocean View. That includes Holualoa, Captain Cook, Kealakekua, Honaunau, and most everywhere in between. If you're outside that radius, still give us a call — we'll let you know if we can make it work.
What kinds of projects do you take on?
Pretty much anything outside of plumbing and electric. Kitchen and bath remodels, additions, ohana units, decks, lanais, roofing, flooring, tile, drywall, framing, finish carpentry, windows, doors, termite and water damage repair, and general fix-it work. If you're not sure whether we do it, just ask.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical?
Not directly — but we coordinate with trusted local plumbers and electricians we've worked with for years. You don't have to chase them down or schedule around them. We build it into the timeline and manage the handoffs so the project keeps moving.
How long does a project usually take?
Depends on the job. A bathroom remodel might be 2–4 weeks. A full kitchen usually runs 4–8 weeks. Additions depend on size and permits — typically 2–6 months. We'll give you a clear timeline in the estimate, and we'll tell you up front if something's going to push the schedule.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. The first site visit and written estimate are free. No obligation, no pressure. If you decide to go with someone else, no hard feelings — we'd rather you pick the right fit than feel stuck with us.
When could you start my project?
Depends on our current schedule and the size of the project. Small repair jobs can sometimes be squeezed in within a week or two. Larger remodels and additions usually need more lead time — often 4–8 weeks out. We'll tell you honestly when we can start, not just what you want to hear.
How do payments work?
For larger projects we typically work off a written contract with a deposit, progress payments tied to milestones, and a final payment after walk-through. For smaller jobs, we'll usually invoice on completion. We'll lay it all out in the estimate so there are no surprises.
