TROPICAL WHOLESALE
BY MATT HOUAR PRESIDENT OF TROPICAL WHOLESALE
In 1961, the first vinyl prod- ucts of any kind arrived in Hawaii. That was vinyl sid-
ing and with that emerged the slogan “Vinyl is final.” I was 4 years old then, and Uncle Bud Shasteen and my father were selling vinyl siding. Most people thought they were crazy saying vinyl was the future. Back then, it was asbestos, aluminum, steel and masonite siding.
But today, there is only vinyl siding. Just like the people who thought com- puters would never take off, the same people doubted vinyl products.
Well, today, vinyl products are king. They have proven the test of time. In the Ha- waii residential market, vinyl
products dominate. There have been many products that have tried, but they have all failed. Meanwhile, vinyl siding and vinyl win- dows are proven products in Hawaii. This just proves the good old Hawaii slogan “Vinyl is final.”
Some people ask where they can get vinyl products for their homes today. They know it’s a good product not only for siding but also for windows. Well, here are the best tips on finding the best vinyl products and in- stallation of vinyl products in Hawaii.
Call Tropical Windows and Siding where “Vinyl is still final.” Tropical is the same company and has the same products my father and Un- cle Bud sold from 1961. Tropi- cal now has 20,000-plus Hawaii customers with more

stay in Hawaii, which sup- ports Hawaii’s economy.
Second, Tropical has the very best vinyl window and siding products money can buy. Because of Tropical’s volume purchasing, Hawaii homeowners get the best products with the best war- ranties at the lowest prices. They also get the oldest company with the best cre- dentials and experience to do the installation.
Third, all installers at Tropi- cal are local boys who un- derstand the unique Hawaii building techniques, and know how to respect local people and their homes. All boys are factory-trained for installation and trained in fall protection, CPR and safety measures due to the current coronavirus pandemic.
Lastly, Tropical’s own- ers Mike and myself are al- ways available to meet your needs. Tropical is a licensed general contractor that is bonded and insured on ev- ery job. With over 20,000 satisfied customers in Ha- waii, Tropical is the exception to the rule. Most home im- provement companies don’t make 10 years, let alone 60 like Tropical.
So, now that you are work- ing on your home instead of spending your money go- ing to Vegas. A safe bet is to call Tropical or come to our showroom at 1351 S. Be- retania St. and buy local. The oldest vinyl siding and vinyl window company in Hawaii where “Vinyl is still final.”
