Home safety modification and ongoing home maintenance for Seniors
Home safety modification and ongoing home maintenance for Seniors
Every storm season, thousands of Florida homeowners scramble for plywood — lifting heavy boards, fighting hardware store lines, and hoping they got it right. It’s stressful. It’s dangerous. And it barely even works.
Call us or book online. We’ll confirm your home’s layout and window count, answer your questions, and schedule a professional measurement visit. No commitment required.
Our licensed technician visits your home, precisely measures every window and door opening, and installs a permanent anchor sleeve system into your home’s exterior. Your custom-cut Cat 5-rated fabric shutters are then ordered to exact fit and delivered to you. This one-time installation is the foundation of your protection — done once, built to last.
Once your anchor system is installed and you’ve been walked through the process, deploying your shutters is straightforward — slide them into the pre-anchored tracks and secure. Most homeowners complete their full home in under 30 minutes. After the storm, remove and store. Simple.
For homeowners who prefer a fully hands-off experience, we offer a limited number of Priority Subscriber slots. Priority Subscribers receive guaranteed pre-storm deployment and post-storm removal by our technicians — no lifting, no ladders, no calls to schedule. Slots are limited and fill quickly before storm season. Ask about availability when you book your estimate.
