Frequently Asked Roofing Questions In Makawao, Hawaii

Labor Costs

How much does roofing labor cost in Makawao, Hawaii compared to nearby areas?

In Makawao roofing labor typically costs 10 to 25 percent more than nearby lowland Kahului because of Upcountry access, freight and worker availability, costs are similar to Kula and Paia, and often 5 to 15 percent lower than remote West Maui jobs that require cranes, final rates depend on pitch, materials, and permits.

Weather & Climate Considerations

How does Makawao, Hawaii's weather affect roof lifespan?

Upcountry Makawao, at about 1,200 ft, gets roughly 30 to 50 inches of rain yearly, strong trade winds averaging 10 to 20 mph, virtually no snow, and high UV with frequent cloud cover. Rain and humidity speed rot and algae growth, winds stress shingles, UV degrades materials, but lower coastal salt reduces corrosion versus beachside roofs.

What is the most common cause of roof damage in Makawao, Hawaii?

In Makawao, the most common roof damage stems from strong trade winds and rain driven by them at upcountry elevation, which lift shingles and loosen flashing, often compounded by falling limbs from eucalyptus and pine trees.

What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Makawao, Hawaii?

Best time to replace a roof in Makawao, on Upcountry Maui at higher elevation with stronger trade winds and wetter winters, is the dry season, roughly May through September, with June through August ideal for consistent sun, lower rainfall and better curing. Start early to avoid afternoon winds. Avoid November through April when rains increase.

Insurance & Storms

How common are storm-related roof claims in Makawao, Hawaii?

Upcountry Makawao, on Maui’s Haleakala slopes, sees fewer storm roof claims than coastal Maui, but heavy tropical storms, high trade winds, and falling eucalyptus trees still cause periodic shingle loss and leaks. Claim frequency is moderate, spiking during hurricanes and major storms.

What natural disasters in Makawao, Hawaii cause the most roof replacements?

In Makawao, upcountry Maui, the biggest causes of roof replacements are high winds from tropical storms and strong Haleakala trade winds, prolonged heavy rains causing rot and leaks, and ash and ember damage from the 2023 Maui wildfires.
