West Maui · Lahaina
As Lahaina rebuilds after the 2023 wildfire, we provide finish trades — tile, plaster, stone and flooring — to homeowners, builders and businesses bringing homes and buildings back.
The August 2023 wildfire changed Lahaina profoundly, and the work of rebuilding homes, businesses and community spaces will continue for years. HillTop Contractors has been part of the Maui building community since 2008, and we are glad to contribute our trades to that effort for families and owners who are ready to move forward.
We are a finish contractor. On a rebuild, that typically means we come in once the structure, roofing and rough-in work are underway or complete, and we take the house from bare walls and slab to finished bathrooms, floors, kitchens and exterior surfaces. We work alongside your general contractor or, on smaller scopes, directly with the owner.
Rebuilding involves many parties: owners, insurers, designers, general contractors and county reviewers. We keep our part straightforward. We provide written, itemized quotes that make it easy to see what is included in our scope, we coordinate start dates with the builder's schedule, and we document the work as it progresses so owners — including those temporarily living elsewhere — can follow along.
Permitting and overall project requirements in the burn area are handled through Maui County and are typically managed by the owner's builder or design team. We follow the approved plans and coordinate with them on any finish details that affect inspections, such as wet-area waterproofing and exterior wall assemblies.
Lahaina is warm, sunny and dry for much of the year, and the town is regularly exposed to strong winds coming down from the West Maui Mountains. Those conditions favor finishes that are low-maintenance and tough. Porcelain tile and stone are non-combustible, easy to clean and well suited to floors and lanais. Cement-based stucco and lime plaster are mineral finishes that do not rely on paint films, which can fade and peel in strong sun.
Inside, many owners rebuilding today are choosing simpler layouts with fewer, better materials. We can help you select tile, flooring and wall finishes that fit the budget and the way you live, and explain where spending more makes a real difference — usually waterproofing and substrate preparation — and where it does not.
Not every West Maui project is a rebuild. We also work on renovations for homes and condominiums elsewhere in the Lahaina area and along the coast toward Kaanapali and Kapalua, from updated bathrooms to new floors and pool tile. Our shop is in Kihei, and we schedule West Maui work so the drive does not slow the job down.
Yes. We commonly work as the tile, plaster, stone and flooring trade under a general contractor, coordinating our schedule with theirs and following the approved plans.
Our quotes are written and itemized, which makes them easy to share with insurers, lenders or your builder. Cost depends on scope, and the on-site estimate is free.
Overall permitting for a rebuild is usually managed by the owner's builder or design team through Maui County. We follow the approved plans and coordinate with them on finish details that relate to inspections.
Porcelain tile, natural stone, stucco and lime plaster are all durable mineral finishes that handle sun and wind well. We will recommend options based on your home and budget.
Yes. We also renovate homes and condos throughout West Maui, including bathroom, floor and pool tile updates.
