"The Smart Technician installed several smart automation devices in my house, a new home security system, and in-wall surround sound audio speakers in our home theater room. Nick was very professional, knowledgeable, and hard worker. I will definitely hire them again."

"They did a terrific job. They scheduled it, showed up on time, and followed through to make sure everything was done according to the contract. I couldn't have asked for anything better. They discovered other things that were hidden that needed repaired and were able to complete it with the rest of the work."

"I am an out of state landlord and have used Jeremy twice in a span of a week. One for plumbing maintenance and the other for an emergency plumbing leak. I cannot say anything negative about the quality of work. I believe he knows what he is doing and that he cares about his work. Unfortunately, I had to deduct one star for value and another for lack of communication. I was hoping to save some money by using an independent and unlicensed handyman but I found that the pricing to be pretty close or more than licensed contractors. For instance, $675 to replace 4 stop valves...there is no value here. The second-star deduction comes down to communication. When I asked how much per stop valve replacement, it was $150 each. So I was expecting $600 in total. He failed to say that was for labor only. The second time I had to use Jeremy was for an emergency. I called several plumbers to come to stop the leak but they were all too busy so Jeremy got there first. He stopped the leak inside the wall, replaced at-joint, replaced the drywall and trim, painted, etc. So he did the job and it looks good from the pictures. However, after he stopped the leak, I was unable to get an estimate from him on the damage remediation repair. If he was able to communicate to me how much I was looking at in total cost of repair, I would have paid him for the demo and stopping the leak and then went through insurance to get a licensed contractor and would have actually SAVED money since his pricing was more than my deductible. For these reasons, I will not be able to use Jeremy again for any of my properties. To be clear, this is not about the quality of work. Just make sure you get a clear and written estimate upfront for parts and labor and of course shop around if you have the time."

"As a small Interior Design Studio I have high expectations for the people who enter my clients homes and bring my projects to life. My Handyman was referred to me by a colleague and I couldn't have been more delighted! Not only is Trent extremely organized and efficient with his projects but as fast as they moved they never once cut corners! All of the crew was wonderful and very good at what they do. I've already hired them for another job and am looking forward to many more projects with them!"

FAQs for security or storm shutters installation projects in Columbus, OH

Yes. In hurricane-prone markets, buyers and appraisers place a premium on homes that already include hurricane shutters. By adding a proven layer of storm protection, you’ll boost curb appeal, reduce future insurance claims, and give the next owner one less project to tackle—all factors that can lift your home’s resale value.

Yes, you’ll want shutters on every window. Skipping even one opening creates a weak spot that high winds or flying debris can exploit, putting the whole house at risk. Full coverage gives you consistent protection, reduces the chance of costly repairs, and can even help you qualify for insurance discounts in hurricane-prone regions.

Most insurers reward storm-ready homes. By adding hurricane shutters, you lower the risk of wind and window damage, so carriers often shave 8% to 10% off annual premiums in hurricane-prone states. Those savings stack up year after year and help offset your upfront costs, all while reducing the odds you’ll pay out of pocket for post-storm window repairs.

Aim to have your shutters installed before hurricane season, which runs from June through November. Scheduling the work in the spring gives you plenty of lead time and allows you to avoid the late-season rush. If you haven’t finished by the time a storm watch is issued, you can still install them; however, earlier preparation offers more peace of mind and smoother scheduling with local professionals.

Yes, installing both hurricane shutters and storm windows provides the highest level of protection for your home. While storm windows can withstand hurricane winds without shattering, combining them with shutters adds an extra barrier against debris. Installing both systems will increase upfront costs—storm windows average $12,000 installed—but this dual approach shields your home from wind damage and reduces repair expenses after severe weather.

The main disadvantage of hurricane shutters is their cost, as they represent a significant upfront investment compared to other storm protection options. Another disadvantage is that some shutter styles require manual operation from the outside, which can present challenges for individuals with mobility issues. Additionally, shutters require regular maintenance, such as lubricating tracks and inspecting fasteners, to ensure they function correctly. Neglecting upkeep can lead to corrosion or damage, reducing their effectiveness when you need them most.
