Services
Residential Roofing
MRC Roofing provides comprehensive residential roofing solutions including asphalt shingles, cedar shake, and metal roofing systems. Our expert team installs energy-efficient materials with solar reflective properties that reduce cooling costs in Hawaii's climate. We offer 50-year non-prorated warranties on premium shingle systems and include free solar attic fans with qualifying installations. Our craftsmen follow strict quality control protocols to ensure lasting protection against tropical weather conditions.
Commercial Roofing
We specialize in commercial roofing systems for industrial and institutional buildings across Oahu. Our services include silicone roof coatings, modified bitumen membranes, and spray foam insulation installations that meet strict energy efficiency standards. With experience on projects like the Aliiolani Hale and Outrigger Canoe Club, our team delivers durable solutions for flat and low-slope roofs. We maintain C-42g Roof Coatings certification and provide maintenance programs to extend roof lifespan.
Spray Foam Insulation
MRC's spray foam insulation services enhance building energy efficiency while adding structural strength. Our closed-cell foam achieves R-values up to 6.5 per inch and creates an air barrier that reduces cooling costs in Hawaii's tropical climate. With over 40 years of local experience, we apply foam to roofs, walls, and attics while meeting fire safety codes. The system also reduces noise transmission and prevents air leakage through building envelopes.
Roof Repairs
Our rapid response team handles emergency roof repairs for storm damage and leaks across Oahu. We provide temporary roofing solutions to prevent further property damage while planning permanent repairs. Services include fixing asphalt shingle damage, cedar shake replacement, and silicone coating repairs. With 24/7 availability during hurricane season, we prioritize urgent cases and offer free inspections to assess repair needs.
Cedar Shake Shingles
MRC Roofing installs premium cedar shake roofing systems that combine natural aesthetics with durability. Our resawn shakes feature uniform width and 100% end grain cuts for consistent appearance and performance. We use premium materials treated for fire resistance in dry areas or CCA treatment for wet climates. The installation includes enhanced ventilation solutions to compensate for modern building code requirements that reduce natural airflow in wood shake roofs.
