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 Railing Replacement & Repair in The Coastal Carolinas
Railing replacement and repair in the Coastal Carolinas means working in one of the harshest outdoor environments in North Carolina. Salt air, high humidity, and storm winds accelerate wear on railings faster than most homeowners expect. Loose posts, corroded hardware, and cracked balusters are common signs that a railing system needs attention. At Gator Strong, we assess the full railing system, not just the visible damage. We replace or repair deck railings, porch railings, and stair railings across residential properties in the Coastal Carolinas. North Carolina building code requires guardrails on decks 30 inches or more above grade, with a minimum height of 36 inches for single-family homes. We work to those standards on every job. Whether your railing is failing from coastal exposure or storm impact, we give you a clear picture of what needs to happen and get it done right. Call Gator Strong to schedule your railing assessment.
