I have to say that I am so impressed and grateful at the same time for the care and the service that I was given from this Company. There was just a small issue with my newer Storm Shutters and with in the time of a phone call to Jeremy And Meredith, the attention was Immediate.. A phone call was made to the gentleman, Francisco, who installed them originally, and he was actually nearby. He was here In such a short time It was just a small thing that needed to be fixed and he took care of it immediately. He even took the time to answer some questions that I had and showed me some more effective ways of maintaining my shutters. They really are at a very high level of professionalism and caring for their customers. I highly recommend this company to everyone. Thank you all at Gator Strong Maggy Bednarz

Expert Bahama Shutters in The Coastal Carolinas
Bahama shutters from Gator Strong give Coastal Carolinas homeowners a permanent, ready-to-close storm barrier. Each shutter mounts above the window, hinged at the top, and props open for daily shade and airflow. When a storm approaches, you close them flat and latch them down. No panels to haul out. No hardware to hunt for in the garage. the Coastal Carolinas sit in a Wind-Borne Debris Region under the North Carolina Building Code. That means your shutters need to be engineered to handle the wind loads specific to your address, not just meet a generic rating. Gator Strong installs shutters built to those coastal standards. Properly rated and installed shutters can also qualify your home for a wind mitigation inspection, which may reduce your homeowners insurance premium. If your home has HOA guidelines or a coastal architectural style to match, Bahama shutters work well there too. They come in powder-coated finishes that hold up against salt air and sun. Call Gator Strong to schedule your on-site assessment in the Coastal Carolinas.
