Ohana Construction is a family-owned general contracting and handyman business based in Ashland, Massachusetts, self-reporting 20 years serving the MetroWest area — Framingham, Natick, Hopkinton, Holliston, Sudbury, Needham, Newton, Wayland, Marlborough, Westborough and Southborough among the towns it names. Reviewers consistently refer to the owner, Dave (David Lalau), directly. The business has an unusually deep and uniformly positive track record: 18 written Google reviews from 2023 through 2026, every one five-star, backing Google's own 5.0-star aggregate from 19 ratings. The work described ranges from small handyman jobs — furniture removal, gutter and plumbing fixes, a wood-rot window sill and rail repair, a kitchen backsplash install — to substantial renovation projects: multiple full bathroom renovations completed on time and on budget, a bedroom floor replacement, a full apartment rehab covering flooring, carpentry, painting, window replacement and plumbing in one job, and a detailed three-month mold and rot remediation behind the walls of a 203-year-old two-family home's basement. Recurring themes across the reviews are fast response times, flexible scheduling around a homeowner's timeline, and pricing reviewers repeatedly call fair or reasonable. Several reviewers say they plan to hire the company again or already have for multiple projects. Six of the eighteen reviews are from the last six months, and none of them are negative. This is a strong fit for homeowners with a wide range of jobs, from a quick repair to a multi-month renovation, particularly bathroom work and general home repairs; the review pool skims heavily toward one clearly identified owner-operator, which is worth keeping in mind when scheduling larger, longer-duration projects.

A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.

Dave has helped us with a variety of fixes and projects over these last few months, like repairs on our house, helping deconstruct old bed frames, and planting beautiful new trees in our yard. Really affordable pricing as well, we’re so grateful for his help and kindness!!
Dave helps me with house projects related to plumbing, repairs and outside gutters. Very reliable and trustworthy service. He is my go to guy for house projects.
Reliable, skilled, reasonable, very personable. Hire him!
Dave replied quickly to my request for a small project and was able to schedule it within a week. He magically repaired a wood rot issue in my old casement window rail (the part that frames/touches the glass) and sill for a reasonable price.
David is a total professional..hired him to assemble a home sauna for me...upon arrival he had read the assembly instructions, was totally prepared to complete the job...he charged me a fair price, and cleaned up after the project was complete....I highly recommend David....5 stars..
