American Hurricane Shutters is a trusted local choice for storm shutters, proudly voted Best of the Cape Fear in 2024 and 2025. With nearly 20 years of experience in the industry, they provide custom solutions based on engineering, not guesswork, to ensure that their shutters meet the specific structural needs, wind zone, and building code requirements of each property. Their team of trained technicians, each with over 20 years of experience, installs the shutters under the oversight of a licensed general contractor. The company's products comply with or exceed standards such as ASTM 1886E/1996E/e300 and TAS 201, 202, 203, ensuring durability and protection against flying debris, hurricane-force winds, and wind-driven rain. American Hurricane Shutters uses a proprietary Design Pressure Analysis to calculate the exact wind load resistance required for each opening, and their powder-coated aluminum and polycarbonate products are installed using #304 stainless steel fasteners that penetrate deeply into the house framing. The company offers an industry-leading 7-year warranty on their products and provides servicing for the shutters they install. In addition to protecting against storms, many of their hurricane shutters offer additional security features that can deter or prevent home invasions and other safety concerns, including locks, hidden fasteners, and heavy curtain weights. With climate change creating stronger and more frequent storms, American Hurricane Shutters' products provide reliable protection and peace of mind for homeowners. The company operates in several locations, including Wrightsville Beach, NC, Morehead City, NC, and Myrtle Beach, SC, and is available for contact from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM, Monday through Sunday.

Overpriced and Overhyped: Not Worth the Headache
I'm extremely disappointed with American Hurricane Shutters. As someone who's lived in the Cape Fear area their whole life, I thought I was supporting a local business that truly cared about our community's safety. But after my experience, I feel like I've been taken advantage of. The sales process was pushy, and they kept emphasizing their 'proprietary Design Pressure Analysis' like it was some kind of magic solution. Newsflash: it's just a fancy way of saying they charge more for the same product everyone else offers. The installation team was friendly, I'll give them that, but the actual shutters themselves? Underwhelming. The powder-coated aluminum looks cheap, and the polycarbonate panels feel flimsy. I was expecting top-notch quality for the price, but what I got was something that looks like it belongs on a budget DIY project. And don't even get me started on the 'industry-leading 7-year warranty.' It's full of loopholes and fine print that makes it practically useless. I've had to call them multiple times for 'servicing' that they promised would be included, and each time it's been a battle to get someone to show up. The whole experience has left a sour taste in my mouth. If you're looking for reliable storm shutters that won't break the bank, keep looking. American Hurricane Shutters is all about making a quick buck off scared homeowners. 1/10 would not recommend.
