ABOUT DOUGLAS HACKETT

Doug has a BSEE degree and was a licensed General Contractor and Electrical Contractor in California before moving to Hawai'i with his wife, Trish Regan, in 1994.

They left their professional lives behind and came to Hawai'i to conduct week-long personal-growth retreats for participants from around the world for twenty seven years, until the Covid shutdown brought their retreat business to an end.

Now, Doug is so happy to use his skills to help his ohana with Handyman types of projects from Volcano to Kea'au.


TESTIMONIALS

"Doug is a wonderful person and an absolute pleasure to work with. He shows up on time, ready to work, and consistently completes his projects on schedule and within budget. Doug genuinely cares about his community and the people in it, taking the extra time and aloha to understand each client and each job. He treats you like family, and that care shows in both his workmanship and his character."

"I cannot recommend Doug enough for any job, big or small! He is the most communicative, detail-oriented, and trustworthy handyman I've ever worked with. Among the growing list of tasks I've entrusted to Doug are building a custom wall, assembling a shed, installing security equipment, and repairing an appliance. What impresses me most is his attention to detail and consistent follow-up at every stage of a project. Doug has also presented and executed creative solutions to some tricky issues I had that have saved me both time and money. He will always be my first call for home emergencies or any future projects!"

"Doug has been fantastic to work with. He's incredibly reliable, communicates clearly every step of the way, and his pricing is very fair. What I appreciate most is his problem-solving ability ... he takes the time to understand the issue and makes sure it's actually fixed, not just temporarily covered up. His work is high quality, and it's clear he takes pride in what he does. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in Volcano."

"Doug has performed numerous tasks for me which included electrical work and carpentry, but the most impressive task was my garage door. He sanded out all the rust on my metal door and then repainted the entire door. It looks brand new!!"
