"Luke, the owner/installer was on time for the estimate despite the 1 hour+ drive to get here during a tropical storm. He did his measurements, gave me a ball park estimate before he left and sent me a full estimate by the end of the day. Great service."

"After some confusion and delay, Kevin remeasured for the shutter. He notified me that it was ready and arrived promptly to install it. As always, he was very professional and did the job quickly and neatly. I recommend them highly."

"Sears' package of services allowed me to worry very little because they coordinated all the trades. Sears has a longstanding reputation for standing behind their products, something I had not found to be true with other contractors I had used in the past. Thecarpenter/job coordinator who did the refacing work was wonderful to work with, making minor modifiations as necessary to fit my needs.  I had not originally intended to purchase new appliances, but Sears offered me such a great discount that I added a new cooktop, double ovens (which required some cabinet modifications), and a dishwasher, which were installed by the carpenter.  He also coordinated the quartz countertop and flooring installations. All of the work Sears did was well done and professional. After the job was completed, I noticed that a door in the den that had to be cut off to accommodate the new flooring was a bit rough, and they sent the carpenter back to fix it within a week. I was somewhat concerned that I would not like the laminate used to reface the wood cabinets, but it has turned out to be very attractive, more durable than wood, and easy to clean.  No one can even find the seams in the quartz countertop or the Congoleum flooring, so I feel that their workmen are very experienced and skilled. I not only would recommend Sears to others, I would use them again for other work."

FAQs for security or storm shutters installation projects in Wilmington, NC

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.
