"Craig was wonderful, very informative, prompt and helpful. I was so happy to have found Hurricane Shutter Maintenance. Can not thank him enough for repairing our shutter. I highly recommend to anyone having an issue!"
"I needed roll down shutters to protect my lanai and three sliding patio doors from storms. I got three or more quotes from various companies. I decided RollShield had the best quote and overall price. RollShield’s salesman Don answered my questions and even showed me shutters he had just installed on his house. I signed a contract. They showed up on schedule and installed the three shutters and did the electrical connections and switches. The installers were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They complected the installation in one day. The city permit inspection went great. The next night we had a tornado alert for our area. It was nice to just close the shutters and go to bed. I would recommend RollShield from Clearwater, Florida from my experience."
"The House of Blinds and Shutters is one of the most outstanding companies we have ever worked with in our 40+ years of home ownership. Brad and Rustin were very knowledgeable and patiently helped us determine the best window coverings for our condo. Brad answered our call immediately when we inquired about an installation date and the shutters we ordered were delivered on time. On the day of the installation, it was like watching a work of art being created before our very eyes. Brad and Rustin carefully installed the shutters and cleaned up as they worked. They were very courteous and even moved the furniture back when they finished. You could not even tell any work had been done...except for the gorgeous shutters they installed! On all aspects of this job, the House of Blinds and Shutters earns 6 stars!!! Brad and Rustin are AMAZING!!!"
"We only had a couple day window in which we were going to be home to install the hurricane shutters. Roll-A-Guard was excellent in working to our schedule. The workers arrived on time and performed the work in a professional manner. I would definitely recommend them to anyone."
"Walter and Tony were very professional. They know their job. Thankfully I had a simple fix, but they were very thorough in checking everything. I would definitely recommend Storm Shutter Mechanic!"

Not all windows are suitable for shutters, as certain styles can prevent them from functioning correctly. It's best to avoid installing shutters on bay windows, picture windows, dormer windows, and double-mulled windows. Shutters are better suited for large, full-size standard windows or French doors.
Additionally, consider the room's lighting needs. Since shutters effectively block light, they are an excellent choice for rooms where you want more darkness and privacy, such as a master bedroom or a main living room. For window types that are not ideal for functional shutters, some homeowners choose to install fixed (non-functional) shutters to maintain a consistent look across the home.
