Frequently Asked Questions
Questions our coastal customers ask.
Which hurricane shutter is best for my coastal home?
It depends on the opening, your budget, and how hands-on you want to be before a storm. Roll shutters deploy at the push of a button, accordion shutters fold to the sides of doors and sliders, and storm panels are the most economical certified option. We measure every opening and recommend the right mix.
Are your hurricane shutters code-rated?
Yes. Every system we install is impact-certified to Florida and Miami-Dade building codes, the toughest standards in the country, so your windows and doors are protected against wind-borne debris.
Should I install shutters before hurricane season?
Absolutely. We recommend installing well before storm season so your protection is ready to deploy in minutes, long before plywood ever comes out of the garage.
Do you serve the rest of the coast?
Yes. We design and install hurricane shutters across Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Leland, Hampstead, Southport, Oak Island, and the surrounding coast from our Wilmington shop.
Do you repair or maintain existing hurricane shutters?
Yes. We offer hurricane shutter repair and pre-season maintenance, from stuck tracks and tired motors to corroded hardware, so your protection actually works when the season arrives.
