Roofing licenses and roof warranties in Hawaii
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Hawaii treats roofing as a separate specialty license. Exhibit A of HAR chapter 16-77 (Contractors License Board rules, posted February 2026) lists the C-42 roofing contractor class, which covers installing a weather tight roof covering in metal, shingles, shakes, tile, built-up and single ply systems, spray foam and similar materials, plus roof flashing. Narrower subclasses exist for metal shingles (C-42a), wood shingles and shakes (C-42b), concrete and clay tile (C-42c), urethane foam (C-42e) and roof coatings (C-42g).
For a buyer serving Hawaii contractors, the class matters at routing time. A tile roof request belongs with a contractor whose license covers tile, and a coatings request may fit a C-42g holder that cannot take a full reroof.
Chapter 444 also has a roofing section. HRS 444-25.7 (DCCA copy of chapter 444) says a contract to build, repair or improve a roof covering that promises a workmanship warranty of more than seven years must come with a surety bond for the roof covering's replacement value, for the benefit of the owner or lessee of a private residence. The contractor gives the owner written evidence of the bond before signing. Separately, section 444-10.6 lets the board issue emergency contractor licenses during a disaster declared by the governor when it finds a shortage of Hawaii licensed contractors.
The general license requirement and Hawaii's door-to-door cancellation rule appear on leads in Hawaii.
Storm records for Hawaii
Hawaii has no hail records in NOAA's Storm Events Database 2025 file. That is the count, and it is not a statement about how many homeowners ask for roof work.
Two Hawaii major disasters in FEMA's Disaster Declarations Summaries name severe storms and were declared from January 1, 2023 through October 7, 2026: DR-4793 on June 17, 2024 and DR-4909 on April 7, 2026. Both titles pair the storms with flooding and landslides.
How these numbers were counted: the hail figure counts 2025 Storm Events records for Hawaii whose event type is Hail, one record per county or forecast zone per event. The FEMA figure counts distinct state DR declarations with an incident type of severe storm, tornado or hurricane, or a title naming one; severe winter storms are excluded.
Hawaii homeowners and building age
Half of Hawaii's housing units were built before 1980: 50.5% in table B25034 of the ACS 5-year estimates for 2020-2024. The median year built in table B25035 is 1980 for the same period.
Of 492,453 occupied units, 310,247 are owner occupied according to table B25003 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024). Rented homes and condominium units are common in Hawaii, so a roofing buyer confirms that the person asking is the owner of a detached home or speaks for the building.
What Hawaii roofing buyers filter on
Hawaii buyers usually start with the island, then narrow from there:
- ZIP code: each island is its own service area, so buyers list the ZIP codes their contractors reach.
- Project type: full reroof, repair, or a specific material such as tile, metal or coatings, matched to the contractor's C-42 class or subclass.
- Homeowner status: owner, landlord or association, given the share of rented and multi-unit housing.
- Insurance claim status: whether the work follows a storm and a homeowners claim, or is planned replacement.
