South Maui · Kihei · Home Base
HillTop Contractors is a Kihei company. Our shop is on Kauhale Street, our crew lives and works in South Maui, and Kihei homes, condos and businesses are the projects closest to home for us.
Since 2008 we have run HillTop Contractors out of Kihei. Being based here changes how a project feels for the owner. Site visits do not have to wait for a crew to be in the area, materials can be staged at our shop instead of crowding your carport, and if a question comes up mid-job we can usually stop by rather than trading phone calls for days.
It also means we know the town itself: the long run of South Kihei Road, the condominium complexes lined up along the beaches, the neighborhoods climbing the slope above Piilani Highway, and the mix of full-time residents, vacation rentals and small businesses that share the area. Each of those property types comes with its own expectations, and we plan for them from the first conversation.
Our trades cover most of the interior and exterior finish work a South Maui property needs. Common requests in town include:
A large share of Kihei housing is condominiums, and many units are rented to visitors for part or all of the year. For those owners, the main concerns are usually durability, easy cleaning and keeping the unit off the rental calendar for as little time as possible. Porcelain tile and luxury-grade laminate are popular choices for that reason: they handle sand, wet feet and heavy use far better than carpet.
Condo work also means working inside association rules. Before we start, we confirm what the building requires — approval of the scope, permitted work hours, elevator and parking use, debris removal and sound control under hard flooring. Underlayment for upstairs units is a frequent requirement, and we account for it in the quote rather than discovering it halfway through the job.
Kihei sits on the leeward side of Haleakala and is one of the driest, sunniest parts of Maui. That is good news for curing exterior plaster and setting outdoor tile, but the strong sun and afternoon winds still shape our material choices. We select UV-stable grouts and sealers for lanais, plan expansion joints for surfaces that heat up in direct sun, and slope exterior tile so water drains away from the house.
Properties near the beach also deal with salt air and fine sand. Breathable lime finishes, corrosion-aware choices for metal trims, and good sealing on stone help finishes keep their looks in that environment. For interiors, the same thinking applies to showers: waterproofing comes first, and the tile goes on top of a system that is built to stay dry behind the surface.
Call (808) 633-8109 or send us a message through the site. Because we are in town, we can usually arrange a site visit at a time that works for you. We measure, look at the existing substrate and conditions, talk through options, and then provide a written, itemized quote. Cost depends on the scope of the work, and the estimate is free.
If you are planning something larger that touches neighboring areas, we also regularly work in Wailea, Makena and Upcountry communities such as Kula.
Our shop is at 2860 Kauhale Street in Kihei. It is our base for staging materials and dispatching the crew across Maui.
Yes. Condo bathrooms are some of our most common projects. We work within the association's approval process, work hours and access rules, and include any required items such as sound underlayment in the written quote.
Porcelain tile and premium laminate are both durable, easy to clean and tolerant of sand and wet feet. We can walk you through the trade-offs during the site visit and help you choose based on the unit and the building rules.
We take on a wide range of scopes, from replacing damaged tile or patching stucco to whole-home tile, stone and flooring projects. Call us to describe what you need and we will let you know how we can help.
It depends on scope, materials and site conditions. We provide a free on-site estimate with a written, itemized quote so you can see exactly what is included.
