Finding a Contractor on Maui Is Hard. We Make It Easy.
Anyone who has lived on Maui for any length of time knows the truth: finding a contractor on Maui who answers the phone, shows up on time, and finishes the job is harder than it should be. The island's construction market has long-standing demand and a limited pool of fully licensed contractors. Material lead times stretch weeks longer than the mainland. Permits take months. Not every contractor on the island carries the licenses and insurance Hawaii law requires.
Can Can Builders has been the answer to that problem since 1984. We are licensed, bonded, insured Maui contractors with a verifiable Hawaii contractor license (BC #29930), a physical Makawao address, and four decades of locally accountable work. Mike Zerkle personally answers our phone and personally oversees every project. There's no front desk, no bait-and-switch project manager, and no surprise change orders.
Our reputation has been built one project at a time on word-of-mouth across the island. We've worked in Kihei condos, Wailea estates, Kahului commercial buildings, Lahaina rebuilds, Kula upcountry homes, and everywhere in between. Our 26 verified Google reviews are all five stars — read them yourself.
If you're tired of voicemails that never get returned, estimates that arrive weeks late, or contractors who simply disappear after starting a job — call Mike directly at (808) 250-1872. We'll be on the phone, we'll be on site, and we'll finish what we start. For a deeper look at our full general contracting service, see our dedicated general contractor in Maui page.

What Maui Clients Say
"Mission Impossible? No. Can Can Builders can do it. I had no idea what a difficult job I was asking Can Can to do: renovating my condo while all the furniture and my belongings were still there. Mike and his crew are magicians!"
— Joseph Bean
"Anyone that's lived on Maui for any length of time knows finding an experienced, available, reasonable and reliable contractor is no easy task. Michael was there on time as promised. His crew completed the job on schedule. It's been ten years and everything is as good as new."
— Bruce Beckett
"All the projects Mike completed for me were very challenging — painting, stucco repairs, roof repairs, tile repairs, granite countertops and cabinets. Not sure if there is a project that would not match one of his skill sets."
— Matt Stayner
FAQ
Hiring Contractors on Maui
Why is it so hard to find a good contractor on Maui?
Maui's construction market has long demand and limited supply of experienced licensed contractors. Material lead times are longer than the mainland, permits take more time, and not every contractor on the island is fully licensed and insured. The result is that homeowners often spend weeks or months trying to find someone reliable. Verify any contractor's Hawaii license at pvl.ehawaii.gov before signing a contract.
What should I look for when hiring contractors on Maui?
Look for: (1) a current Hawaii contractor license — verifiable on the State of Hawaii DCCA portal, (2) a physical Maui address and multi-year track record, (3) verifiable Google reviews from real Maui customers, (4) clear written estimates without vague line items, and (5) someone who answers the phone and shows up when they say they will. Can Can Builders has been licensed (BC #29930) and operating from Makawao since 1984.

Owner Mike Zerkle founded Can Can Builders Inc. on Maui in 1984. We've been a continuously licensed and locally operated general contracting company for more than 40 years, serving residential and commercial clients across every part of the island.
