Our goal is simple: to protect your home and earn your trust for years to come

"We had Homeshield shutters installed on our lanai about 4 years ago. When they work they are great, but have always had trouble with one of them and have to have them come out and fix. Never a charge before. Today they were here about 10 minutes to repair that same shutter and charged 800.00. This is highway robbery. We will find someone else to repair in the future. This was for our home, not business but the above would not let me enter that."

With more than 20 years experience, High Wind Shutters has been providing exceptional Hurricane shutters and Impact Windows solutions for homeowners, condo associations and contractors in Southwestern Florida. Our experienced installers are on staff and fully insured. Which means you can be confident the job will be done right

"In the spring, we had Impact Resistant Windows installed by High Wind Shutters. We are extremely pleased with the results. The windows give us energy efficiency, storm protection as well as improving the appearance of our home. High Wind Shutters made the entire process easy. They provided an excellent experience from the setting of the consultation appointment through the installation. The sales consultant, Matt Thibodeau, was professional and knowledgeable offering helpful suggestions. The office staff was friendly and responsive to our questions. The installation team of Earl and Aiden were extremely hard working and did a wonderful job. We were impressed with their clean up efforts at the end of each work day. Based on our experience and having been in this business for a number of years, I would highly recommend High Wind Shutters because of their professionalism, quality products and attention to detail.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
