Dai-Ichi Enterprise

Extremely rude. His last message of a very distasteful conversation was: «Then why r u bothering me». Interestingly, he started the conversation, I didn’t contact him.
Avoid at all costs, he doesn’t deserve to do business.

This guy was completely rude. He accused me of being rich because of my location, and when I told him I was at a school in a very rich area, he accused me of being deceiving about a public works project. My department is not supported by tax dollars and this was not a public works project, he again, accused me of being deceptive.
Like the other reviewer, he implied I was undermining wages. He swore I could get this granite cut by the fabricator, and I was just trying to get around that price. Then he berated me for spending tax money on granite. I bought the whole package, cabinets and counter for less than $ 1,500.00, and for that price, Cypress Home Décor (fantastic place) doesn’t deliver or cut holes in the granite. But he insisted I was lying and just trying to undermine his wages.
Ironically, I’m a union president. LOL.

May be he does a good work on remodeling. But the first phone call was already a big turn off. I first off introduced myself and a little bit about what I wanted to do for my property on the phone with him. The he goes «First of all, I’m not cheap. I do a great job and it’s very expensive.» Then I said «How would I know what is *expensive*?». After I mentioned about the size of my kitchen (117 sqft), then he goes «I charge from $ 50,000 for a small kitchen. Like I said, I’m not cheap. I’m not like other Asians. I charge 5 times more than they do…». I felt he’s kind of arrogant and didn’t feel comfortable at all.
If he posted somewhere that he charges for at least $ 50,000 for a small kitchen, then I wouldn’t have even wasted my time to call him.
I could understand some people can be quite proud of themselves and their profession but sometimes just a little bit of modesty is always appreciated.
I believe he is the face of his business. His work could be top-​notch but his attitude toward a potential customer was not professional. That one itself could bring his business rating to 3 star out of 5 even before any committed job is done.
To be honest, I’d rather pay a few thousand dollars to a cheap Asian contractor to do a decent job that I’m satisfied with than paying an arrogant contractor $ 50,000 to do a *perfect* job.

I am very impressed with this company. The owner, Daizo pays great attention to detail in all his work and is friendly and personable. He is very reliable and has reasonable prices. He did a re-​model to my grandmother’s home and was very knowledgable about modifications that would make the house safer and easier for my grandma to use such as a custom rail in her garage and backyard so she can walk safely. I highly recommend his services.

We have used John Uchida for several jobs (replacing roof beams, adding crown molding) around the house. His work was always great and prices reasonable. Shows up on when he says he will. He is always busy, so he is not always available right away — you need to plan the work ahead.
