It is extremely rare that I leave a review for any business, but this one felt warranted. We hired and paid J.R. Moorehead to install windows, and renovated my bathroom about 7 years ago. He was a family friend and claimed he could do the work I needed. It was a difficult time as my wife was going through chemotherapy and J.R. would frequently use this fact over the next 7 years to establish trust and friendship with me. Every time I spoke with him, whether it was professional or personal, he would say "I was there when your wife was going through cancer and I feel like a part of your

If you are looking for a good contractor don't use JR Moorehead. He is a very good talker and knows all the right things to say like I will give you everything you want and give you excellent work. But reality is very different. He said that he would complete the work in three months. It took almost a year and then a year after he supposedly completed the work we found out that he had lied and never had the house inspected and the building permits were not closed. We had to pay to have the permits pulled to verify that they were open an talk to the building inspector to get the permits

I have to give Morehead & Company a huge thank you. I was so inexperience when I started this remodeling and they made me feel very comfortable and talked me through everything along the way. I am more knowledgable now than I ever was so now when I do the upstairs I will be right on track and know what to expect. I also would like to thank K. Schenker Electric Kanoa and Vincent were very knowledgable and walked me through everything along the way. So thank you Brent, Sherrie, Art and Joe.

We wanted our master bathroom completely remodeled and had some specific ideas of what we wanted. We went to a few "designers" who were unable to accommodate us because they were pushing their own vendors which was nothing like what we had in mind. During this process we discovered that to get what we want we would have to be the designer and just needed a contractor. We set up an appointment with JR Moorhead and after explaining to him our plan, he was very honest in telling us what could and could not be done. He didn't try to up-sell us which I really appreciated. He really

We used Moorhead & Co for a major renovation project including 3 bathrooms, our master bedroom, and outdoor lanai cabinets. The end result is wonderful, and we would recommend them to anyone. JR was actively involved with planning the project, and Sherrie coordinated everything during construction. We particularly appreciated close communication between Sherrie, the lead carpenter Art, and us during the project, so that any potential problems were addressed promptly as they came up, and we ended up with exactly what we wanted. When there were minor glitches, they were corrected promptly and
