Northern Horry County’s Trusted Storm Shutter Installer

Longs may sit a dozen miles from the Grand Strand shoreline, but Horry County building code wind-load requirements don’t stop at the Intracoastal Waterway. The same hurricane-force winds that batter North Myrtle Beach and Cherry Grove carry dangerous debris and sustained wind speeds well into northern Horry County. Homes along Highway 9, in the Longs Town Center area, and in the growing subdivisions south toward Little River all benefit from permanent, rated storm protection.

We are OSHA-30 certified, SC licensed GC, and carry a 7-year workmanship warranty. We serve Longs as part of our broader northern Horry County coverage, with installations regularly in Little River, Cherry Grove Beach, North Myrtle Beach, and Calabash just across the NC line. Call +18438681390.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Hurricane Shutters in Longs, SC

The questions we hear most from Longs homeowners. For more, see the full AHS FAQ page.

Hurricane shutter costs in Longs range from approximately $18/sq ft (aluminum storm panels) to $100+/sq ft (motorized rolldown shutters). Accordion shutters — the most popular permanent system — average around $34/sq ft installed. Bahama and Colonial shutters run $50–64/sq ft. All estimates are free and on-site. Call (843) 868-1390.
For most Longs homeowners, accordion shutters offer the best balance of cost, convenience, and protection at around $34/sq ft. Bahama shutters are popular for homes seeking coastal curb appeal. Rolldown shutters are the premium choice for properties where remote deployment or maximum convenience is desired.
Yes. Longs sits roughly 12 miles from the Atlantic and falls within Horry County’s wind zone. Hurricane-force winds carry dangerous debris well inland — Hurricane Florence (2018) caused devastating damage throughout northern Horry County. When an opening in your home fails during a hurricane, internal pressure spikes and can take the roof off. Storm shutters are the line that holds.
Yes, in most cases. Horry County requires building permits for permanent shutter installations. American Hurricane Shutters handles the entire permitting process — application, inspections, and all documentation — as part of our installation service at no additional charge.
Yes. Rated hurricane shutters generate wind mitigation credits with South Carolina insurance carriers. We provide full Design Pressure (DP) rating documentation for your insurance file. Many Longs homeowners see premium reductions that offset a portion of the installation cost over time.
After free on-site measurement and custom fabrication (typically 6–8 weeks from deposit), on-site installation at a Longs property takes 1–2 days. We handle all Horry County permits, inspections, and perform a full walkthrough before closing out the job.
Even though Longs is inland, Horry County’s humid, salt-influenced air still affects hardware over time. Rinse tracks and slats with fresh water monthly during summer, apply dry silicone spray to tracks twice a year, and exercise shutters at least twice per hurricane season.
