What types of contractors does AHS partner with for hurricane shutters?

AHS partners with residential builders, commercial general contractors, property management companies, and roofing/exterior contractors who encounter hurricane shutter needs in their projects. Partnerships are available for supply-only and supply-plus-installation arrangements.

Why should a general contractor in coastal NC partner with AHS for hurricane shutters?

AHS brings three advantages to contractor partnerships: (1) ASTM-rated product inventory with full NOA documentation ready for permit sets, (2) licensed GC credentials in both NC and SC that satisfy subcontractor requirements, and (3) installation expertise specifically in coastal salt-air environments that general contractors often don't develop in-house.

Contact AHS directly to discuss volume thresholds and program terms. AHS works with contractors across a range of project scales — from single new construction homes to multi-unit residential developments.

Can AHS provide hurricane shutter specifications for building permit sets?

Yes. AHS provides ASTM product specification packages including NOA documentation, installation specifications, and code compliance certifications suitable for inclusion in building permit sets for residential and commercial projects in coastal NC and SC.

For contractors working in coastal NC and SC, hurricane shutters are an increasingly unavoidable scope item — building codes require them on all glazed openings in coastal wind zones, and homeowners and developers are asking for them proactively. AHS offers contractor partnerships that provide ASTM-rated products with full permit documentation, licensed installation expertise in both NC and SC, and the kind of responsive service that keeps projects on schedule.

What AHS Brings to Contractor Partnerships

Product and documentation: AHS stocks ASTM E1886/E1996-rated hurricane shutter products across the full range — accordion, rolldown, screens, Bahama, colonial, and storm panels. Full NOA documentation is available for inclusion in building permit sets. Specification packages are formatted for architectural and engineering submission.

Licensed installation: AHS holds active NC and SC General Contractor licenses and OSHA-30 certification. For contractors who need to subcontract the hurricane shutter installation scope, AHS provides fully credentialed, insured installation with all required documentation — including worksite safety compliance and post-installation warranty documentation.

Coastal expertise: Eighteen years of coastal NC and SC installations means AHS understands the substrate conditions, HOA requirements, and building department processes across all coastal counties. This reduces specification errors, permit rejections, and installation complications that can delay projects.

New Construction Integration

New construction is the ideal window for hurricane shutter installation — structural framing is exposed, anchor points are accessible, and the installation integrates cleanly with the construction schedule. AHS coordinates with general contractors on installation timing (typically after exterior sheathing, before drywall), provides specification packages for the permit set, and handles county permit applications where the GC prefers to delegate that scope. Contact AHS at +19102561288 to discuss your project.
