HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS

The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1st and runs until November 30th. September is the most common month for hurricanes to make landfall, with August following close behind. It’s important for property owners to be prepared and take steps to protect their home.

Important Information

BEFORE THE HURRICANE ARRIVES:

  • For Storm Panel Hurricane Shutters, make a map of where each shutter will go on your home. Practice hanging and taking down your shutters.
  • If you need help to hang your shutters, make sure you arrange for it ahead of time.
  • Hang or close your shutters early, so you’re not trying to do it during high winds.
  • For Accordion Shutters with locking handles, make sure you have the keys readily available as they Must Be Locked During a Hurricane.

PRIOR TO HURRICANE SEASON:

  • Trim trees and shrubs away from windows and doors. This will make it easier to access your shutters and prevent and prevent them from banging into your shutters and possibly causing damage during the high winds of a hurricane.
  • Check and replace all hardware and make sure it’s in working order. Arrange for maintenance/repairs as needed.
  • If you have an aluminum porch/patio roof: clean your gutters periodically, and check for leaks—especially if there are overhanging trees or shrubs.
  • Cut back any trees to reduce the accumulation of debris in your gutters and reduce the risk of damage from branches.

    I am quite impressed with R & D Aluminum Inc.  I needed help with my storm shutters on a recently purchased older home.  R & D was quick to respond and Richard took the time to educate me and explain how everything works and what was needed to keep my shutters properly maintained.  They performed a long overdue maintenance on all our shutters and they now work as they should.  Thank you R & D Aluminum. Job well done!  I will definitely be calling you in the future!

    Very responsive by quickly responding  to my request for metal roof leak repairs by explaining the scope of work, giving me a quote and agreeing on an  appointment date.  Once at my house, they completed the job efficiently.   The very next day, we had heavy rain events and no leaks whatsoever.   A very good experience.

    I found their prices to be very reasonable so I had them put up some storm panels and they also re-screened my patio. This was a week before Irma and they didn't price gouge me. They were very fast, efficient and the job was very well done. I am very pleased with this company. I would use them again in a NY minute.

    The facts about R&D Aluminum... Richard has always been fair priced, on time and reliable. Follow his simple maintenance instructions and accordions will last a lifetime. If you're a slacker, he's available to fix them. Since 2005 Richard has installed accordion shutters 3x on homes and did a patio re-screen.  He responds right away, his work is solid and price is affordable.  Bottom line, R&D for 17 years on different homes/projects and have no plans of changing.  Give him a call, you'll be glad you did.

    Richard was very professional. Him and his assistant came out to measure and give us a quote on replacing our entire patio roof. Within a few weeks it was completed and looks beautiful. Very reasonable price as well. It would have been completed even sooner, but we had to wait for the correct panels to be delivered before they could take down the old roof and replace it with the new one. Once the work actually got started they were able to finish in just a few days.

    Richard’s professionalism was off the charts. I could call him or text him and he would always return my calls or texts promptly. Was even able to help me understand how to coordinate with an electrician as we also want to put up new fans on our new roof.


    Thank you R&D for the great work. Highly recommend.

    Richard was very responsive in a timely manner. The whole experience of doing two accordion shutters was very good one being a sliding door. I was especially happy with the quickness that everything was completed. Very professional company.  I highly recommend R and D.

    R & D Aluminum replaced some of my old heavy steel storm panels with accordion shutters.  The Job was professional and timely.  I appreciate the fact that the company did not require any down payment to do the installation.   The job is well done.

    I will be using R & D again to complete the replacement of the old steel shutters.  I highly recommend R & D Aluminum.

    I have to say I'm impressed with the quality of work and service I was provided by Richard. He was referred by one of my colleagues at work and gotta say I understand why. I had called Richard to get shutters for my home and next day he was doing measurements at home and got me a quote that same day. He perfectly understood what I wanted and even gave me a few options to make it work. He took care of permits with the city and scheduled inspections. He kept me updated with the job status at all time. By the end of his work he made sure the area was cleaned and also took his time to show us how to properly use our shutters and also how to give proper maintenance.  My husband and I are very happy with the completion of this project and will refer Richard in the future.
