What we do
Services
Furniture installation and live furniture swaps for college dorms and military bases — plus renovation support for hotels, campuses, and turnkey projects.
Live Furniture Swaps
Swap out old furniture for new in occupied or turnover dorms and barracks with minimal downtime — coordinated installs so students and personnel can keep using the space.
Contract Cleaning
Thoroughly trained housekeeping staff provide exceptional cleaning that meets hotel standards and safety compliance regulations.
Paint Services
High-performance painting for a variety of applications — whole rooms or touch-up during room turnover — to meet your job specifications.
The Turnkey Concept
AFI handles renovation needs from a single service to the full turnkey process: tear out, cleaning, painting, carpet, and furniture installation — one contractor, fewer coordination headaches.
The Project Manager Approach
You are assigned a project manager who reports directly to you — so no detail is overlooked, even on demanding room turnover projects.

Management
Our Team
Dependability is what our customers have come to expect — led by experienced ownership and project managers who bring strong organizational skills to every job.
Dean Bryan
Owner Operator
Dean Bryan is the owner operator of Affordable Installations since 1994. His experience and reputation for delivering quality service is stellar. He built the company from the ground up, beginning with furniture installations and expanding into turnkey operations for a total service package — completing jobs on time while exceeding client expectations. Dean is not just loved by the vendors and customers — his employees love him too, and they'll follow him anywhere, even to Fairbanks, Alaska in minus 50 degree weather. He treats his crew like his family. Off the clock, in Hawaii, you'll find him at the volleyball court. He's always pushing the crew to get done early because he loves to go play volleyball or find something else fun to do.
Nicole Barrow
CFO / Regional Project Manager
Nicole Barrow is CFO / Regional Project Manager, with 25 years at Affordable Installations. She's the mama bear of the crew, building the close-knit family atmosphere that supports the team. Her high energy really brings a positive vibe to the team and her work ethic is unmatched. Everything has to be done right — perfect is her standard. Nothing gets done twice — she plans ahead so every move counts.

Project Manager
Nate has been a project manager with Affordable Installations for 10 years. He served in the Navy and is now in the Army Reserves. During Affordable Installations' downtime, he started his own business as a contractor. These days he's mostly on the road with the crew full-time alongside his wife, and they just welcomed their first baby boy. Nate is still dedicated to the business and loves what he does, along with the travel and the camaraderie with his mates. He loves challenging the boys to cornhole and they never can beat him.
Orie started working with Affordable Installations in high school. Dean and Nicole met her playing volleyball at the beach. She did installs for us whenever we had work at Pearl Harbor. As a competitive athlete, she fits in well with furniture installation. She easily became a team lead. She's been with us over 20 years and traveled a lot before marrying Nate — she went to Japan and all over the U.S. — but her love of her family and her islands kept her close to home. She and Nate became a solid team, a project manager and a team lead. You can find her at the gym when she has time off. She loves life on the crew, especially now with her husband and her new baby boy. No wonder why Nate snatched her up, working together — her wonderful work ethic and her love and kindness of the crew. She loves being a road dog and traveling all over the world. Being a strong female, she loves motivating the boys on the stairs. She gives the boys a run for their money when they're stair carrying.
Luke came over to Hawaii for spring break his senior year and fell in love with it. After Chico State, he moved over there to help with the military furniture installs — his love of hiking and photography brought him back to the islands to work for Affordable Installations. He started running his own crews whenever we had multiple projects. He loves to cook for the crew and hits the gym, and at harvest time he helps his father farm. He's always paying attention to detail — send him for everybody's lunch and he knows each person's special orders by heart. He truly cares. He's got a really good work ethic and is the big brother of the team, keeping them all in line off the clock.
Alyssa has been working for Affordable Installations since before she was a teenager, making money working summers. Once she turned 16, she's been running her own projects when Dean and Nicole weren't available — getting her friends together to deliver mattresses and run jobs across the Bay Area and Central Valley. She's now a project manager in her own right, running crews upstairs so the trucks can keep moving. She has a very good work ethic and an eye for detail: when you go up to check on her, everything's perfect, no micromanaging needed. She loves going to Disneyland and dragging some of the crew along.
