Roofing help in Hawaii

Hawaii roofs face intense tropical sun, salt air, trade winds, heavy rain on windward sides and the threat of hurricanes. Honolulu, Kailua, Hilo and Pearl City homes often use metal, shingles or flat roofs, and corrosion resistance is a priority near the ocean.

What roofs face in Hawaii

  • Hurricanes & tropical storms
  • Heavy rain & moss
  • Heat & intense sun
  • High wind & severe storms

Salt air corrosion

Coastal salt air corrodes standard steel quickly; coastal-rated metals, stainless fasteners and appropriate finishes extend roof life.

Hurricane and wind

Hurricanes such as Iniki in 1992 showed the need for strong roof-to-wall connections and wind-rated roofing.

Rain and sun

Windward areas get heavy rainfall while leeward areas get intense sun; both age roofing materials.

Housing on Oahu and the neighbor islands

Many Honolulu-area homes are single-wall or older post-and-beam houses with low-slope roofs, and condominiums often have flat roofs managed by associations. Roof-to-wall connections and corrosion-resistant fasteners deserve attention during any re-roof.

Licensing, permits and contracts in Hawaii

Hawaii requires roofing contractors to be licensed by the Contractors License Board (C-42 roofing classification) through the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Permits come from the county.
