FAQs
Common Questions About Our Services in Highlands County
What types of hurricane shutters do you install in Sebring and Highlands County?
We offer hurricane panels, accordion shutters, roll-down shutters, and Bahama shutters. All are engineered to meet Miami-Dade code for 150 mph winds, ensuring strong protection for homes across Sebring, Avon Park, Lake Placid, and surrounding areas.
Are awnings suitable for hurricane protection, or are they just for shade?
Awnings, including clamshell, Seaview, and Bahama awnings, are for shade only and rated for up to 75 mph winds. For true hurricane protection, we recommend shutters or impact-resistant windows. We always clarify this difference for customer safety.
Can I buy materials for my own DIY project, or do you only offer professional installation?
Yes, you can buy aluminum materials, windows, and hardware directly from our storefront for your DIY project. We also provide full-service installation by our experienced crew for homeowners who want a turnkey solution.
Do sunrooms or enclosures require a permit in Highlands County?
Screen room do require a permit. Rescreening an existing porch or adding soft vinyl windows to an existing porch does not require a permit. Glass rooms are classified as living space and require full county permitting and electrical work. We handle all permitting for installed projects.
What window brands do you offer, and what are the warranty details?
Siminton windows (PVC) are my main sellers and I can also get aluminum framed windows from Custom Window Systems.
How do I know which hurricane shutter is right for me?
Accordion shutters are popular with seniors and those looking for easy operation. They lock in minutes without heavy lifting. Roll-down shutters offer premium, motorized convenience. We help you choose the best option at our Sebring location.
What is the difference between pan roofs and composite roofs for carports or patios?
Pan roofs are uninsulated, U-shaped panels best suited for carports. Composite roofs are insulated, wider panels that keep patios cool and comfortable. Composite roofs cost more but are recommended for outdoor sitting areas.
How long does it take to complete a sunroom or pool cage project?
Project timelines vary due to engineering approvals, permitting, and material availability. Most sunrooms and enclosures in Highlands County are completed within 4 to 10 weeks. We provide a firm schedule after your on-site estimate and design approval.
