Miracles On Maui: 2025 residential and other sector builds push Maui’s recovery forward

Gary Danzl, Regional Manager of HPM Maui, was featured in an article covering Maui's faster-than-expected recovery from the 2023 fires. Danzl reports strong building material sales growth across all HPM locations, with the most significant increase at their Lāhainā branch. "Residential rebuilding, particularly in Lāhainā, is driving much of the growth as homeowners push forward with reconstruction," he explains. "We're seeing strong movement in typical building materials, but there's also been increased interest in fire-resistant materials, particularly fiber-cement siding like Hardie siding, as well as doors and windows with improved fire ratings." The article highlights how HPM is supporting the island's resilient rebuilding effort as residential construction becomes the primary economic driver for 2025-2026.
