What was really going on under that floor

The HVAC ducts under this house were sweating, and all that condensation did extensive damage to the floor. There were two layers of plywood, and fungal growth had grown right through both of them.

So all of the subflooring had to be replaced. To get below the HVAC unit and the kitchen cabinets, the crew pulled them out, rebuilt the floor underneath with new framing and new subfloor, then put the new floor down and reinstalled everything.

Company

Meet the owner

Ryan Bono owns Kona Coastal Construction and is on the job sites with the crew.

Ryan got his start in 2016 building high-end luxury condos and homes in New York City. A pull toward the West Coast surf took him to California, where he moved onto much larger commercial work, managing $3 to $12 million scopes inside multi-hundred-million-dollar developments.

Back on the East Coast, he added commercial roofing and complex change-of-use and redevelopment projects, turning existing buildings into mixed-use, self-storage and co-working spaces. Then he took the leap and founded Kona Coastal Construction, built around one focus: serving investors and taking on the complex projects other contractors pass on.
