Can Can Builders Inc. · BC Lic# 29930
General Contractor in Wailuku, Maui
Residential & Commercial Construction and Remodeling
Serving Wailuku for Over 40 Years
Wailuku is one of Maui's oldest and most historically significant towns — and with that history comes a unique set of renovation challenges and opportunities. Many Wailuku homes date back decades, featuring original hardwood floors, older plumbing and electrical systems, and character-rich architectural details worth preserving. Can Can Builders has the experience to work sensitively with older structures: updating systems to current code without losing historic character, repairing and restoring original finishes, and blending new additions seamlessly with existing construction. As the county seat of Maui, Wailuku is also home to a thriving commercial district, and we've completed many commercial renovation projects for businesses in and around Market Street and the surrounding area.
Historic Homes
Restoring & Renovating Historic Wailuku Homes
Wailuku's older neighborhoods contain some of Maui's most architecturally interesting homes — craftsman bungalows, plantation-era cottages, and mid-century properties with original details that modern construction simply can't replicate. Renovating these homes requires a different approach than working with newer construction.
Can Can Builders approaches historic renovation with a combination of respect and practicality. We preserve original features where they can be saved — hardwood floors, original windows, decorative trim — and replace systems that need updating (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) in ways that minimize disruption to the historic fabric of the home.
We're experienced navigating the permit requirements for work in older structures — including potential asbestos and lead-based paint management, structural assessments for load-bearing modifications, and Maui County's requirements for historically significant properties. For additional context on Wailuku's historic character, the Maui County Planning Department has resources on the Wailuku Historic District.
Original Finish Restoration
We repair and restore original hardwood floors, plaster walls, wood windows, and decorative trim rather than defaulting to replacement.
System Modernization
We update electrical panels, plumbing, and HVAC in older homes while respecting the historic structure and minimizing visible impact.
Hazardous Material Handling
Pre-1980 Wailuku homes often contain asbestos tile and lead paint. We handle identification, testing coordination, and proper remediation.
Sensitive Additions
When adding to historic properties, we design additions that complement rather than overwhelm the original architecture and scale.
