"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."
"Each member of the team: (Rob Boling , President; Terri, coordinator; Luke and Jose, Installers), were efficient, professional, and pleasant. The global pandemic did play a role in the timeliness of our project; however, Sanibel Shutters maintained excellent communication, throughout. We are truly happy with our plantation shutters and vertiglide window treatments. 5-star recommendation from Gary & Jean Mousseau"
