Homeowners in Hawaii now have a regular opportunity to get expert guidance on construction and remodeling projects through a weekly television segment featuring a local contractor.

Lucas Stensland, owner of H-1 Construction LLC, appears every Tuesday on Island Life Live to answer viewer-submitted questions about building and remodeling homes in Hawaii.
The segment, called “Ask the Contractor,” airs on KITV and focuses on helping residents understand the realities of construction projects across the islands.
The “Ask the Contractor” segment allows homeowners to submit questions through the H-1 Construction website. Selected questions are then addressed during the live broadcast.
Topics discussed during recent episodes include construction timelines, project delays, supply chain challenges, weather impacts, and how homeowner decisions can affect the progress of a build.
Industry professionals say that construction projects in Hawaii often require careful planning due to factors such as shipping logistics, material availability, and unique environmental conditions.
During a recent broadcast, Stensland explained that weather patterns and the availability of building materials can significantly influence project schedules throughout the islands.
Stensland emphasized that building homes in Hawaii involves challenges that contractors on the mainland United States may not experience.
“Building a home in Hawaii comes with unique challenges that mainland contractors simply don’t encounter,” Stensland said. “Our goal with ‘Ask the Contractor’ is to pull back the curtain on the construction process so homeowners understand what to expect.”
The segment aims to provide transparency about how construction timelines work and why certain delays may occur during residential projects.
Stensland has operated H-1 Construction in Hawaii since 2007 and brings more than 30 years of construction experience to the industry.
Before launching the Honolulu-based company, he worked in construction in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Today, H-1 Construction specializes in luxury custom homes and remodeling projects across multiple Hawaiian islands.
The company serves homeowners on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, the Big Island, Lanai, and Molokai, offering construction and renovation services tailored to island environments.

Over the years, H-1 Construction has received several industry recognitions for its work in residential building and design.
The company earned the 2018 Grand Award from the Building Industry Association of Hawaii and was also recognized by Houzz as “Best of Design” in 2024.
In addition to the television segment, the company also hosts monthly seminars aimed at helping homeowners better understand the construction and remodeling process before starting a project.
Experts say educational initiatives like television segments and community seminars can help homeowners make more informed decisions when planning construction projects.
By discussing timelines, budgeting considerations, and potential delays, contractors can help reduce misunderstandings that sometimes arise during building projects.
The “Ask the Contractor” segment airs every Tuesday during Island Life Live from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on KITV, giving Hawaii residents a regular forum to learn more about the construction process and ask questions about their upcoming projects.
