Questions
How much does a new roof cost in Hawaii?
Cost varies by material selection and roof complexity. We help clients choose options fitting their budget while ensuring quality construction that withstands tropical weather conditions.
What's the difference between contractor guarantees and manufacturer warranties?
Our 7-year watertight guarantee covers leaks from installation issues. Manufacturer warranties address material defects, with terms varying by product selection and installation compliance.
Can roof coatings prevent leaks?
Coatings alone won't stop leaks but can improve energy efficiency. Proper reinforcement and installation according to specifications are required for watertight protection.
How can I make my roof more energy efficient?
Choose energy-efficient shingles with heat-reflective granules or install TPO systems for flat roofs. These options reduce cooling costs and may qualify for tax incentives.
What government projects have you completed?
We've worked on multiple educational facilities including Kapiolani Community College, Waialua Elementary School, and Campbell High School, meeting strict public sector requirements.
