  • Greater Honolulu (Downtown, Ala Moana, Diamond Head, Kahala, and surrounding neighborhoods)

  • East Oahu areas like Hawaii Kai and ʻĀina Haina

  • Central and West Oahu including Mililani, Kapolei, Pearl City, and Aiea

If you’re planning a deck or outdoor structure in another part of the island, feel free to reach out—chances are we’re happy to discuss your project.

We offer free consultations by phone and email to start. We  help understand your goals, answer initial questions, and determine if we're a good fit. Many homeowners are surprised by how much we’re able to help during this initial conversation—it’s often the best starting point.

For in-person site visits which includes a deck safety assessment and in-depth consultation, a small fee (typically $50–$150) may apply depending on the scope and location. This fee is backed by a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee and ensures that both your time and ours is used thoughtfully and efficiently. We believe your time is just as valuable as ours, and a small investment upfront helps confirm mutual alignment and project readiness. If you move forward with your project, the site fee is credited toward your contract.

In general, we are able to offer free estimates to help you understand general cost ranges based on your goals and project scope. The need for a paid estimate depends on how detailed and customized your project is.

We’re transparent throughout the process and great at helping homeowners understand what’s needed to accomplish their goals within a realistic budget.

Yes! Hawaii Deck Builders is certified by the North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) as a Deck Safety Specialist. This means we’re trained to evaluate the structural integrity and safety of your deck based on national industry standards.

Our safety assessments include checking for common issues such as loose connections, failing fasteners, water damage, rotting wood, and outdated railings. If your deck is older, has visible wear, or you’re unsure about its condition, it’s a good idea to schedule a professional assessment—especially in Hawaii’s climate where sun, rain, and termites can accelerate deterioration.

Contact us to schedule a deck safety check. Peace of mind starts with a solid foundation.

We work with a wide range of high-quality decking and railing materials, including:

  • Composite and PVC Decking: Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon, and Wolf

  • Railing: Aluminum, composite or painted lumber
  • Cable Railing Systems: Feeney or custom made

  • Natural Woods: Ipe, Kayu (Red Balau), Cedar, and more

Many Hawaii homeowners are choosing composite materials for their durability, weather resistance, and low maintenance—especially in our tropical climate. We’ll help you compare the options and choose what works best for your style, needs, and budget.

You can call, text, email, or fill out our inquiry form to get started—whatever is easiest for you! Including a few photos of your existing space is especially helpful for our initial consultation.

When reaching out, feel free to share details like:

  • How you plan to use the space (lounging, entertaining, dining, etc.)

  • What’s most important to you (aesthetics, function, durability, prepping for sale, budget-conscious options, etc.)

  • Any specific materials, features, or ideas you’re considering

The more context you can provide, the better we can guide you from the start. No matter where you are in the planning process, we’re happy to help you explore your options and move forward confidently.

Our Story

Founded by Chad and Liana Hilweh, Hawaii Deck Builders is built on the love for construction and being outdoors.

Chad Hilweh grew up in Kaaawa, surrounded by the beauty of the Windward Side of Oahu. After graduating from a small private school in Kaneohe, he built a life rooted in family, community, and craftsmanship. Chad spent years working for a local general contractor before starting his own company, Hilweh Builders LLC, in 2019. Hilweh Builders quickly earned a reputation for quality residential remodeling. In 2024, Chad and Liana launched Hawaii Deck Builders, combining their love for the outdoors with their passion for creating spaces where families can enjoy Hawaii’s natural beauty. Liana Hilweh, a CPA with years of experience helping local businesses, keeps the operation running smoothly. From estimates and scheduling to marketing and finances, she brings Chad’s vision to life while managing the business side of things. Together, Chad and Liana are building more than just homes and decks—they’re building a business rooted in trust and community.
