Kitchen and bathroom remodels built for Kailua's salt air

Kailua's beach cottages and mid-century homes were built for the trade winds. Salt air and humidity have had decades to work on them. We bring the kitchens and baths up to date without erasing what you love.

Remodeling in Kailua

Kailua kitchens and baths built to outlast the salt air.

Windward Kailua, along with Enchanted Lake, Maunawili and Lanikai, is prized for single-story beach homes and 1950s–70s ranch houses built to breathe. The coast is hard on them: bathrooms that hold moisture, kitchens that have done their time, finishes that fade fast in the salt air. So our Kailua work leans into moisture control and layouts that keep the breeze moving through.

  • Built for salt air and humidity. Sealed waterproofing, mold-resistant backer board and corrosion-aware fixtures, so the bathroom dries out between showers and stays dry.
  • Indoor-outdoor flow. Layouts that open the kitchen toward the lānai and let the trade winds Kailua is built for move through the whole house.
  • Beach-home bath rebuilds. Walk-in showers and full re-tiles for the aging baths in Kailua, Enchanted Lake and Maunawili, done down to the studs.

Questions, answered

Questions Kailua homeowners ask us

Do you work on the Windward side?

Yes. Kailua, Kāneʻohe, Enchanted Lake, Maunawili and the neighborhoods around them are a regular part of our week. We plan the Pali commute into the schedule, set real start dates and keep them, and when anything on the plan changes you get a call or an email, so you're never guessing where the job stands. If you'd rather start with a showroom visit, we're in Kapolei, Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

How do you handle Kailua's coastal humidity and salt air?

We build the bathroom as if the salt air is coming for it, because it is. Every bath gets a sealed waterproofing membrane and mold-resistant backer board behind the tile, plus fixtures and finishes chosen to shrug off corrosion, in every tier, not sold as an upgrade. Ventilation is part of the design, not an afterthought.

What does a Kailua bathroom remodel cost?

Bathrooms start at $25,000 for the Beautiful tier, $35,000 for Impressive and $45,000 and up for Exquisite. In an older beach home, the walls sometimes hide moisture problems the tile was covering up, so we look carefully before we price and put anything we find in your written scope, never in a surprise change order. The $250 on-site consultation is credited back to your project on contract. Call (808) 900-7540 to set one up.
