FAQs

Hawaii's unique climate presents several challenges for roofs. These include ultraviolet damage and heat cracking, corrosion from salt air, wind uplift due to trade winds, growth of moss, algae, and mold in humid areas, damage from storms or hurricanes, and wear caused by heavy rainfall and tropical moisture.

The lifespan of a roof in Hawaii varies depending on the material used and its exposure to elements. Asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 25 years, metal roofing can endure for 40 to 70 years, tile roofing often exceeds 50 years, and wood shake roofs last 20 to 30 years, though they require more maintenance in humid climates.

We utilize drones for inspecting steep roofs, multi-story homes, and areas that are difficult to access. This method ensures safety and provides high-quality, detailed images of the roof's condition.

The extent of repair depends on the damage. If the issue is confined to a specific area, a partial repair is often sufficient. However, if there's widespread aging, structural problems, or recurring leaks, a complete replacement may be necessary. A thorough inspection helps us determine the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.

We provide emergency services for storm-related roof damage. This includes temporary tarping, leak control measures, and comprehensive assessments of damage caused by severe weather events such as heavy rainfall or high winds.

Several roofing materials are well-suited to Hawaii's climate. Metal roofing is excellent for resisting salt air and strong winds. Architectural asphalt shingles offer a balance of durability and cost-effectiveness. Tile roofing provides longevity and performs well in hot conditions. Each of these options has its strengths in addressing Hawaii's unique environmental challenges.
