Installing accordion shutters requires careful planning and preparation to ensure compliance with the Florida Building Code. At first, our engineer will visit your property to assess all openings, measure the roof height and perimeter, and determine the best way to install the accordion shutters. Our engineer must considers the location of each opening and make sure all tracks are securely attached to the structure. The standard permit process requires a signed application, a plot plan, and a notice of commencement (if the project is over $2500). It also includes a notice of acceptance, a detail sheet, and a wind load calculation. Once the permit package is reviewed and approved by the city, we can start manufacturing your new accordion shutters. Once we finish the manufacturing process, we'll call you to set a date to install your new shutters. After your installation, the engineer will work with you to ensure the hurricane shutters are installed properly and ensure you are satisfied. Then a representative inspector of the city will come to make sure that all work has been completed according to the Notice of Acceptance and state guidelines. Our installation process meets and exceeds the strict guidelines set forth by the Florida Building Code. So you can have peace of mind knowing your property is protected during a storm.
