"Great company! Showed up on time and fixed my door issues! The price was reasonable and he left the area clean! I will definitely be using this company for any door/window needs that I have in the future!"
"Assured Storm Protection recently completed the installation at my Coral Springs home of ES impact windows and doors. Entire process from meeting with Sales through final inspection went very smoothly...on schedule. Very happy that I went with this company, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking to install hurricane protection."
"Last weekend had someone pry our side door open to our exterior garage and the ADT door sensor picked it up immediately. The alarm siren was loud and scared the person off. Someone from the response center called within 30 seconds. We’re fortunate that the security system did what it is supposed to. Feels like we made the right call going with an ADT security system."
"Guinn & Sons provided an excellent price to replace all my windows, doors and garage door with impact resistant windows and doors. The process was simple and the staff helped by leaving the work area clean each day. The only difficult issue was that the installers did not speak English but Guinn & Sons staff was available to interpret when it was necessary and everything worked out well. I am very happy with the ECO windows and doors they installed."
"They replaced the windows and 3 doors in my house with impact glass and made an enclosure with an accordion. Thanks to Salvatore's advice, we are now protected for the hurricane season. 100% recommended, super professional and responsible."
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Sergio @ Calleja's for the installation of impact windows in my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional diligence and meticulous attention to detail. They took the time to thoroughly assess my needs and provided personalized recommendations that exceeded my expectations. I met them through the My Safe Florida Approved Vendor List and I surveyed over 8 companies. They checked out on BBB, HomeAdvisors, and BuildTrack for open/closed permits. Throughout the installation process, they maintained clear communication and ensured that every aspect of the project was executed with precision. I was highly concerned about dust management, and they exceeded my expectations. They covered everything, and also blocked off the inside windows to minimize circulation. They also cleaned as they went with cutting/demo. The end result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides me with a sense of security and peace of mind. Even after the installation was complete, Sergio stayed in contact to ensure all guidelines were completed for the Grant program, and personally went to the city to close out the permit. I highly recommend Calleja's to anyone in need of impact windows or other home improvement services. Sergio and the team will take care of you!"
"Kevin installed a barn door to replace a pocket door for my powder room. It turned out great. I think it really makes a statement when you walk in the front door!"
"Angelo was great! He arrived early, was an absolute pro installing the new front door locks and handles and even fixed a few issues that had been there for years! Definitely will recommend Broward Property Maintenance as a great experience!!"
"Family Shutters owner Rene arrived at my home the next day after my initial contact to Family Shutters. Family Shutters made & installed a new accordion shutter to cover a glass block area at my house entrance in a timely manner. This new shutter secured me an A3 rating for my new Homeowners policy with AAA. I also hired Family Shutters to replace my old locks on all my accordion house shutters.Also they serviced my shutters to ensure I am ready for next hurricane season. Rene’s company workers completed my requests promptly in caring respectful manner."

There are a number of ways to secure windows. You can add motion detectors or window sensors to detect movement and impact or change the window locks to make them stronger. Some of the ways you can secure windows are much like how you secure a home: closing the curtains at night and setting up security cameras outside so you can monitor your property even in your absence.
To prevent false alarms, motion detectors need proper placement and settings. Start by installing them away from pets and windows where outside movement could set them off. Adjust the sensitivity settings to reduce the likelihood of it detecting minor motions. Consider using dual-tech sensors, for example passive infrared (PIR) and microwave technology, to improve accuracy and reduce false alarms. And don’t forget regular maintenance—cleaning the sensor and checking for any obstructions can go a long way in making sure your detectors run smoothly.
Your best bet is to install a bracket that secures to the bottom of the unit and the side of your house. You should still secure the AC unit in the open window using some of the other methods already listed, but a bracket is best to ensure that it stays put—both during operation and in case of an attempted theft.
