Makuti Roofing Design & Construction specializes in authentic eco-friendly roofing solutions using traditional coconut palm leaves (makuti). The company provides traditional roofing services that utilize dried coconut palm leaves harvested when brown, soaked in water for flexibility, and woven into overlapping tiles primarily by women in local communities.
This 100% natural material offers environmental benefits as a renewable, untreated building material with zero environmental impact. Key advantages include natural insulation and cooling comfort in hot climates, cost-effectiveness especially for smaller roof areas, lightweight construction suitable for structures that cannot support heavier materials, and adaptability to various architectural designs with quick installation.
The company supports local women weavers and communities through its sourcing practices. Services include complete thatch installation, professional re-ridging, and expert patching and repairs using premium makuti, water reed, or long straw materials. They serve multiple regions across Kenya including North Region, Eastern Region, Coastal Kenya, Central Kenya, and Western Kenya, with specific mention of Machakos, Kakamega, and Coastal & Central Regions.
The business offers free consultation and site visits within their service areas to assess roofing needs.
