What We Do

Comprehensive Home Repair & Improvement

Every project — big or small — gets the same standard of care: clear communication, quality materials, and finishes that look and perform.

General Home Repair

Drywall patches, door & window fixes, trim work, flooring repairs, and the everyday maintenance tasks that keep your home safe and comfortable.

Kitchen & Bath Remodels

Complete or partial renovations — cabinetry, tile, countertops, fixtures, and plumbing. We design spaces that work as hard as you do.

Exterior & Roofing

Roof repairs, pressure washing, painting, deck building, and storm damage restoration built to handle Hawaii's unique climate.

Emergency Repairs

Plumbing leaks, storm damage, structural concerns — we respond fast when your home can't wait. Available for urgent calls throughout the island.

Additions & Custom Build

Room additions, lanais, storage buildings, and custom carpentry. We work with your vision and the island's building requirements.

Painting & Finishing

Interior and exterior painting with premium, UV-resistant paints. Prep work included — we don't skip the details that make paint last.

Who We Are

Rooted in the Islands, Built on Integrity

Kawela Plantations started as a one-person operation in Kaunakakai with a simple promise: show up on time, do the work right, and treat every home like it's our own. Over two decades later, that promise hasn't changed — only our capacity to keep it.

We're a locally owned and operated business serving Molokai, Maui, and the surrounding areas. Our team understands island construction — from salt-air corrosion and tropical humidity to the unique structural needs of Hawaiian homes. That local knowledge saves you money and prevents problems before they start.

Client Feedback

What Our Clients Say

Kawela Plantations remodeled our kitchen and bathroom. The attention to detail was remarkable — they caught issues other contractors would have missed and handled them professionally. Our home looks and feels completely renewed.

Local Homeowner Kaunakakai, HI

We had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday and Kawela responded within the hour. They stopped the leak, explained what happened, and had the permanent repair done the next day. Fair pricing and genuine care for the job.

Property Manager Maui, HI

They built a beautiful lanai addition that exceeded our expectations. The team was punctual, clean, and respectful of our home throughout the entire process. We recommend them to anyone on the island.
