Molokai · Maui County
Practical, long-lasting tile, plaster, stone and flooring work for Molokai homes and community buildings — from a licensed Maui County contractor that plans every trip around the island's rural pace.
Molokai is part of Maui County, along with Maui and Lanai, and it sits just across the channel from our base in Kihei. Even so, it is a world apart. Molokai is rural and quiet, with no high-rise development and a strong sense of community. Kaunakakai is the main town, and much of the island is ranchland, farmland and small residential areas.
That character shapes how we work. Molokai projects are typically homes, family properties and local buildings rather than large resort jobs, and owners tend to value durable, low-maintenance finishes and a contractor who respects the place and its people.
Molokai has limited building-supply options compared with Maui or Oahu, so materials are planned well in advance. After we visit the property and agree on the scope, we put together a complete material list — tile, setting materials, waterproofing, grout, plaster and sealers — and arrange shipping so it is on the island before the crew arrives. Running short on a bag of thinset is a much bigger problem on Molokai than in Kahului, and good planning prevents it.
We also schedule work in focused stretches so the project moves steadily without unnecessary trips. You get a written, itemized quote first, and we keep you informed about deliveries and timing as the job approaches.
Weather varies across the island. The west end around Maunaloa is generally dry and windy, the central plain around Hoolehua and Kualapuu is open and agricultural, and the east end toward Pukoo is greener and wetter. Homes along the south shore near Kaunakakai are close to the water and see salt air.
For these conditions, we lean toward materials that are forgiving and easy to maintain: porcelain tile with appropriate grout and sealers, slip-resistant surfaces for outdoor areas, and lime-based plasters that let walls breathe instead of trapping moisture. Where stucco or concrete has cracked from age or settling, we repair the substrate before applying anything new.
We take projects in Kaunakakai, Maunaloa, Kualapuu, Hoolehua and Pukoo, and at homes elsewhere on the island. Because we are a Maui County business, Molokai is close to home for us, and we are glad to talk through projects large or small. Our Kihei office is the best place to start, and you can see all of our service areas online.
We look at each request individually. Because every Molokai job involves travel and shipping, combining work, such as a bathroom and a floor, can make a project more practical. Call us to talk it through.
We build a complete material list after the site visit and arrange shipping before the crew travels, so the job is not held up waiting for supplies.
Yes. We assess cracks and damaged areas, repair the substrate and apply a new stucco or plaster finish that matches or updates the existing look.
