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 Hurricane Shutters – Roll Down and Accordion in The Coastal Carolinas
Roll down hurricane shutters are one of the most practical storm protection options available to the Coastal Carolinas homeowners. the Coastal Carolinas sit inside a designated Wind-Borne Debris Region under the North Carolina Building Code, meaning homes here must be built to handle wind speeds of 140 to 150 mph. Standard windows and doors are no match for that kind of force. Roll down shutters mount permanently to your home and deploy over windows, doors, and large openings with a crank or motor. When a storm watch goes out, you close them and go. No hauling panels from storage. No last-minute scrambling. Coastal properties, second homes, and rental units in the Coastal Carolinas benefit most from this system because the shutters stay in place year-round and require very little upkeep. Gator Strong measures each opening, selects shutters rated to meet NC coastal code, and handles the full installation. Call us to schedule your on-site assessment.
