cessful vinyl siding and window business Hawaii has ever had. In my time, I have watched many similar companies come and go in Hawaii but Tropical has been the exception to the rule.”
Q: What has helped Tropical survive the good and bad times in the Hawaii construction Industry?
A: “Hard work; asking homeowners to buy local; being a family business; working with my uncle and father as well as my brother; later working with my three children as they grew up as well as my wife, and count- less other family members. The stability of a family is key to any situation in life as well as a business.”
Q: What changes have you seen in vinyl products over the years?
A: “We have sold many different brands of vinyl windows and vinyl siding. All are better than alumi- num, wood and fiberglass, just from a maintenance-free standpoint. But not all vinyl windows and siding are the same quality. If you want the very best vinyl windows or vinyl siding, call Tropical and we can explain the difference in quality and manufacturing techniques, and which prod- ucts have better technology than others and why.
“There have been improve- ments in vinyl formulations and design. I know most regu- lar homeowners think vinyl is vinyl, but if it’s time to spend what it costs to improve your home today, it would be wise
for you to seek out the most knowledgeable company and person available — that’s Tropical.”
Q: Finally, if I wanted to install vinyl windows or sid- ing to my home, how should I go about it?
A: “The smart answer is to call Tropical Windows and Siding. But homeowners always want different opin- ions. Just remember when you call Tropical you get an owner and a contractor — not a salesman. It can be very confusing because salesmen are very convincing, smooth, and have tricky gimmicks and methods like buy one, get one free, 50% off, self- cleaning glass or ‘buy today to get this sale, you will never get a deal this good again.’ Remember, a salesman does
not really have your best in- terest at heart. A salesman’s job is to sell you his product. Salesmen will promise you whatever it takes but as we all learn over and over, it it’s too good to be true, it’s too good to be true.
“A few great questions are ‘have you ever installed a window or siding yourself?’ ‘What qualifies you for me to trust your company to do my job?’ ‘How exactly are you going to install your prod- ucts on my home?’
“After all this, call Tropical or come to our showroom at 1351 S. Beretania St., and we will show and explain the dif- ferences in having the right products and “doing the job right.” We are open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays-Fridays, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays. Call 808-593-2000.”
