Anchor Repairs
Hurricane panel systems are installed using anchors that are specifically designed for hurricane protection. Improper installation or maintenance can cause them fail, which compromises the entire shutter system. We can not stress enough the importance of repairing any anchor issues immediately to avoid further damage to your home. It is important that anchor damage be assessed and repaired by an experienced and licensed shutter installer.
