Commercial · All Hawaiian Islands
Finish work for properties that stay open while they are improved — plaster, tile, stone, flooring and exterior stucco for hotels, resorts, condominiums, restaurants and retail, from our base on Maui to projects across the islands.
Hospitality and commercial work is different from a private home. Guests, residents and customers are often on site, schedules are tied to occupancy and openings, and the finishes have to stand up to far more traffic than a residence ever sees. We work as a specialty finish contractor, either directly for an owner or property manager or as a subcontractor coordinated with your general contractor, designer and schedule.
Our role is to bring the same craft we use on custom homes — hand-applied plaster, precise tile and stone, and well-built wet areas — into spaces that need to perform commercially and stay presentable throughout the job.
Much of the planning on a commercial job is about everything around the work. We discuss phasing so floors, wings or rooms can be taken out of service in sequence, plan dust and noise control, and agree on work hours, loading and staging, and routes for materials that keep crews out of guest paths where possible.
In condominium and HOA properties, association rules usually govern contractor access, parking, elevator use, notice to residents and approval of finishes. We build those into the plan from the first walkthrough. Protection of finished surfaces, clean daily stopping points and clear communication with management are part of how we work on occupied properties.
Commercial finishes need to look good after thousands of footsteps, frequent cleaning and constant exposure to sun, salt air and pool chemicals. We help owners and designers choose materials and systems with that in mind: slip resistance on wet decks and entries, grouts and sealers suited to cleaning regimes, waterproofing behind every wet wall, and plaster finishes that can be spot-repaired rather than redone.
Natural lime plasters, porcelain tile, and natural stone can all work in hospitality settings when they are matched to the location. Where a material is not a good fit for an area, we say so and suggest an alternative.
We are based in Kihei and work throughout Maui, including the resort areas of Wailea, Kaanapali and Kapalua. We also take projects on Oahu, Hawaii Island, Kauai, Lanai and Molokai. Off-Maui work means planning ahead for inter-island scheduling, material shipping and site visits, and we work through those logistics with you early.
We also support the rebuild and recovery of Lahaina and West Maui following the 2023 wildfire, offering plaster, tile, stone and stucco work to owners, builders and businesses as they rebuild.
