S. Tanaka Construction LLC is one of Oahu’s leading design-build firms. Established in 1984 by Shinya Tanaka, the company started with a focus on new home construction. Over time, the company expanded its expertise to include additions and accessory dwelling units. Over the past 40 years, S. Tanaka has gained recognition for its quality of work and customer service, earning the trust of the community as one of Oahu’s most reputable builders.
