Customer satisfaction is at the heart of what we do in commercial property management and our relationship between our client, our tenants and our organization is, therefore, an all important one.
Hawaiian Building Maintenance has been an invaluable partner and great to work with for almost 20 years that I have been in the commercial real estate business in Hawaii. Their quick response time to any requests or concerns we have has made us feel at ease and know the job will get done.

Hawaiian Building Maintenance (HBM), Hawai‘i’s trusted leader in caring for commercial facilities, is proud to welcome Ron Porter as its new President.
Born and raised in Hawai‘i, Porter brings both deep local roots and a proven record of thoughtful leadership. Throughout his career, he has guided organizations through financial and operational challenges with steadiness and care—skills that will serve HBM as it continues to grow in service to Hawai‘i’s businesses and

Porter previously served as CFO of The Miranda Group and CEO of Tailored Capital, where he oversaw significant portfolios while ensuring financial stability and operational strength.

HBM has built decades of service, a reputation for reliability, and the trust of both clients and employees – all of which I greatly respect. As President, my role now is to steward these strengths while bringing the vision and discipline to help them grow. That has been my life’s work, and I am committed to carrying that legacy forward, guided always by the values of Hawai‘i,” said Porter.
Dean Cash, Chairman of HBM, commented: “We are excited to have Ron join our leadership team and utilize his extensive experience and vision to enhance our position as the largest facilities maintenance company in Hawaii while turbocharging our client- centered growth.”
