He was punctual and professional. The shutters was ready on time. The installers were friendly and efficient. However, I felt that they were a bit rushed. The shutters function very well. I noticed tiny chips on the edges of some lourvers of each shutters. Also there's a filled small hole on the side of one shutter with noticeable color difference. I called Rob about this. They came back to fill the hole and chips and painted it well. Rob also offered to redo all the shutters if I were not happy with the shutters. This report was delayed because I was debating whether to have all the shutters redone. Apparently the shutters was made by a company working with Vanetian. There was some delay in communication with Rob and the response from the shutter company. Rob apologized because the company should have noticed these chips in the factory and not released the shutters for installation. It's been several months the shutters function very well.The chips are hardly noticeable. So far I did not call Rob for redoing the shutter. I love giving raving report. However, I have to give a B on quality for this one. I hope when I call them to replace window treatment with wood plantation shutters on other windows at my house. It will be such a wow feeling that I can give a raving report."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/houston/venetian-blind-carpet-one-floor-and-home-reviews-126694.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Katy Blinds & Shutters","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mike M."},"reviewBody":"We were extremely happy with their services.

Our windows were a bit of a unique situation due to the type of crown moulding like trim around the window openings. We were unsure how the typical shutter frame would fit, work, or look with our existing moulding, so Casey had Tom, the represenative from the shutter company come out and look at our situation. They presented us with the option they thought would work best, and measured to make sure that once installed, the louvers would have plenty of clearance to fully open and close. They even went the extra mile and came back a few days later with a frame built specifically for one of our windows so that my wife and I could see exactly how it was going to look and function with the existing window trim before we ordered a whole house full of shutters. If they hadn't done that we probably would have just ordered a shutter or two to see how it looked. Once they put the sample frame in we decided it looked great and was exactly what we wanted, so we ordered shutters for the entire house. Phillip their installer came out and did final measurements and confirmed that everything would operate as planned. After about 6-8 weeks the shutters came and they called to schedule installation. Phillip their installer is extremely professional and installed all of the shutters in just a few hours, it went great and the shutters look amazing, what a difference.

I recently had shutters installed throughout my home, and I couldn?t be more pleased with the entire installation from start to finish. Everything was seamless and professional.
Original shutters were installed with a previous owner, and they looked great. We hired this company to install additional shutters. However, the quality was OK but not quite as good as the originals. The french door shutters do not close properly, for example. We decided we wanted to...

The measurer, salesperson, and the installer were all very professional. The installation started right on time and the end result is beautiful. No snags and the shutters seem to be holding up great.

"We had the folks from Rolltex install storm and hurricane shutters on our home. We interviewed and received quotes from several vendors and we checked references, the BBB, Angie’s List, etc., but it our experience with the Rolltex team that convinced us that they were the vendor of choice. Plus we were impressed with their showroom and how Elena and Maria worked with us on pricing, answered our questions, and continued to communicate with us. Prior to our decision Juan Jr. and his Uncle arrived onsite and went over the installation. Juan Jr. also answered our questions and encouraged us to contact him directly if we had further concerns or questions. One of our major concerns was the electricity to operate the motors for the shutters. Juan Jr. took the time to explain how and where they would get the electric and that we would not experience any collateral issues but if something should occur then they would resolve it. They called the day before to confirm our installation and the team arrived on time. They worked through the day and finished the job the same day as promised. They took the additional time to guarantee all testing was complete and that all of the shutters operated, plus ensured that we were completely satisfied and happy with the product and their installation. We have never experienced storm or hurricane damage in the 35 years we have lived in our home but it was time we mitigated the risk. These shutters also function as security for our home when we are away on a trip. They are managed either individually from a local remote control or can be managed remotely via a mobile application from a smartphone. Rolltex is a family business that knows how to treat their customers. They work hard to make certain their customers are satisfied and happy with the product and their service. We are proud to offer our reference for this company and plan to engage them for future business."

"Pros: 1516’s workers and subcontractors did an outstanding job. They were super friendly and always asked us how things looked and even had inside jokes with my husband. We are so pleased with the look of our new patio. I would highly recommend Master Electric who was their electrical subcontractor. Very nice people and got their work done quickly! Cons: In short, we are extremely displeased with the owner, Erik, and how he treated us with disrespect, belittlement, and lack of professionalism. This is where the 1 star rating comes from. If you want more details, please continue reading below. Unfortunately, we did not feel this same way regarding the owner of 1516 (Erik). At our first meeting, everything went over smoothly. It was like the honeymoon phase of remodeling. I told him everything I wanted: new patio cover, privacy wall, and wrought iron fencing around the patio to keep the dogs in, and he said he could do it all! When we received the proposal, we noticed the measurements were off on the patio cover. All our other bids along with the plot survey said 16X20, but 1516’s stated it was a 16X17. Of course we brought this up to both Erik and his wife, Kris, because we didn’t want a short patio, especially since engineers get involved for the building. We begged Erik to come out and re-measure. He assured us his measurements were correct and he told my husband he didn’t trust other people’s measurements. After awhile, he finally agreed to come re-measure but told us that he would cover the cost if it was wrong since it was his mistake. We didn’t even ask him to cover the difference, so we were in shock but he assured us that the measurements were right. Sure enough, a week later he showed up and re-measured and he was wrong. It was 16X20. Sooo sorry for this novel but this is where we started being treated unfairly. Once the material was delivered for the cover, we started asking Erik for pictures of the privacy wall and wrought iron fencing that was going to be put in since no “specific details” were in the proposal regarding these two line items. He started getting very short with my husband, wouldn’t provide details, ignored his phone calls & texts, and would just show up without even letting us know he was here. I even called his wife, Kris, to ask if we had done something wrong and she said he was just stressed but loved working with us. He did ask us to pay extra for part of the privacy wall for materials, even though no details were specified in the proposal on what the wall would look like, what material would be used, height, etc. We were told that he had already estimated the cost of materials and labor and that our extra addition was not part of his plan. I was a little irritated because we were paying for this patio remodel, which I would think we would get to pick out what we want our patio to look like not him. As for the wrought iron fence, we had told him earlier on that it would need some type of dog barrier because we have a 10 lb dog that could easily fit thru. When we started suggesting ordering a custom fence, he threatened us that if we went custom, he would decline the fence portion of the job. The only reason why he accepted it was because we wanted the patio cover. We immediately just went with what was easier for him because we wanted the job done. On the last day of the patio cover remodel, we had asked Erik if he could have his guys come back out because 1) they had put footprints in the concrete parts around the columns and 2) our vinyl siding was missing J channeling on the new addition and didn’t flow well from the original part of the house. We also found out later that day that his workers had cut and capped the wires to our existing floodlight so it was no longer operational (Erik even confirmed this was true). A few hours after sending that text with the mistakes that should be fixed, we received an unpleasant text from Erik. He immediately rejected the fence portion of our proposal saying he was not doing it anymore, wanted the final check, and was done with us. He said we were super ungrateful because he had given us so much from quoting us a 16X17 patio, which was really a 16X20 patio, even though from the beginning, he said he would cover that measurement mistake. We had no idea that weeks down the road, this was going to bite us in the butt. We never once had asked him to cover it. He made that call. And we had no idea that asking his workers to come back to fix a few mistakes/errors was going to end in an uproar. He threatened us saying he was going to turn us in to a collection agency if we didn’t pay him the last check for the patio. We never once said we weren’t going to pay his workers for the outstanding job they did. He told us that our patio slab was already cracked and ugly so why would a few footprints matter. As for the J Channeling, he said the inspector didn’t say anything so we wasn’t going to cover that. And as for the floodlight, he wasn’t going to pay the electrician to come back out. Here is his exact response, “Partner, if you’re willing to pay the my standard rate of $40 a square ft on a 16X20, you can have me back for 1 whole day addressing every obstacle brought forward today: concrete, “c” flashings, & even flood lights not in my contract.” Erik was very disrespectful in every text message, belittled us, and reminded us how unimportant we were by constantly telling us he had bigger and more important jobs in the Seabrook area, like his $76,000 patio cover project plus that he made $4 million in sales last year, so he was pretty sure he knew what he was doing. It hurts my heart knowing that a company whose title is 1516 (after the Acts 1516 verse) could treat other people this way. My husband and I have saved copies of all the emails and text messages of Erik’s awful behavior. He wouldn’t answer his phone or come talk to us in person, but persisted that it be by text to record everything. His tone was scary, his words were hurtful, and there was no reasoning with him. My husband stayed very professional and respectful through the whole conversation and was still disrespected with every text that Erik sent back. We paid Erik for all the work his contractors & subcontractors completed, but were left with an incomplete patio project aka the wrought iron fence and the 3 mistakes we wanted fixed. We have had several projects completed on our home, such as, new plumbing, upgraded kitchen, drainage system, new floors, and much more, and have never dealt with someone like Erik."

FAQs for hurricane shutter service projects in Spring Valley, TX
Metal is one of the best types of hurricane shutters because they are the most durable and longest lasting option. This shutter type will likely cost more than other materials like plywood, but metal hurricane shutters are a permanent solution compared to the temporary nature of putting plywood over your windows during a hurricane. You should also consider hurricane panels and automatic roll-down shutters that are useful for emergency situations.
Hurricane shutters cost about $3,700 on average, ranging from $1,500 to 5,900, depending on the style, size, materials, and your location. Materials may include metal, plastic, fabric, or wood.
Additional cost factors to consider include the number of windows, the time of year you install, and necessary permits. Keep in mind that if you purchase and install hurricane shutters during hurricane season, namely June through November in most states, you can expect to pay more due to increased demand.
Considering the advantages and disadvantages of hurricane shutters can help you decide if they’re the right choice for your home. Some pros and cons include:
Pros

Hurricane shutters can add value to your home by protecting windows from flying debris during a storm and possibly reducing your home insurance premiums, likely appealing to potential home buyers. The material also plays a role in the value of the hurricane shutters. For example, plywood hurricane shutters are a more temporary solution that likely will not impact home insurance costs even if it can save your windows and doors from damage.
When comparing impact windows vs. hurricane shutters, it’s important to consider the protection and installation details to determine the right choice for you. For constant protection against storms and flying debris, impact windows are a better option than hurricane shutters, especially if you don’t want to install shutters that will change the look of your house. However, impact windows are more costly than hurricane shutters. If you want a budget-friendly option that’s still protective against storms, hurricane shutters are a solid option.
