Company Background
Tropical Wholesale is a locally owned and operated general contractor and wholesale company that has been a trusted fixture in Honolulu's home improvement scene since 1975. Under the steady leadership of owner Matthew Houar for over three decades, it's a business built on family pride, delivering both professional installation services and direct wholesale pricing. We specialize in a comprehensive range of services designed to protect and enhance island homes, including professional roofing, energy-efficient window installation, vinyl and hardy board siding, bathroom and kitchen renovations, and solar PV systems. Our commitment is to provide Honolulu residents with durable, warranty-backed installations using high-quality products, like our EnergyStar-exceeding windows, and to help homeowners navigate benefits like tax credits for energy-efficient upgrades.
FAQs
As a Honolulu homeowner, how does Tropical Wholesale address common local roofing issues like ridge cap damage and granule loss?
We understand that Oahu's sun, salt air, and trade winds can prematurely wear roofing materials. For ridge cap damage, which compromises a roof's seal against wind-driven rain, we use high-quality, corrosion-resistant caps and ensure meticulous installation to withstand local conditions. To combat granule loss from UV exposure, which shortens shingle life, we install products rated for harsh climates and can apply protective roof coatings to extend the life of your existing roof. Our inspections specifically check for these local failure points.
What are the benefits of choosing your energy-efficient windows for my Hawaii home?
Our windows are designed to exceed EnergyStar standards, which is crucial for Honolulu's climate. They significantly reduce solar heat gain, helping to keep your home cooler and lowering your electricity bills from air conditioning. Beyond comfort and savings, many of these upgrades qualify for federal tax credits. We handle the product selection and installation to ensure maximum efficiency and can provide information on facilitating these credits, adding value to your home.
Do you offer both installation services and wholesale product sales?
Yes, we operate as both a licensed general contractor and a wholesale supplier. If you need a full, warranty-backed installation for a roof, bathroom renovation, or window replacement, our professional crew handles the project from start to finish. If you're a seasoned DIYer or working with your own contractor, you can purchase materials like vinyl siding, hardy board, or windows directly from us at competitive wholesale prices. We're here to support Honolulu homeowners and tradespeople in either scenario.
