Professional Installation

Kure Beach Installation — Fort Fisher Exposure & Cottage Stock

Kure Beach properties near Fort Fisher face some of the highest wind-load requirements in New Hanover County. We calculate site-specific design pressure before every installation. Older Kure Beach cottage stock — particularly the wood-frame homes built in the 1950s–70s — requires careful evaluation of anchor points and fastener depth to reach structural framing. All hardware is stainless steel or marine-grade coated.

Our own trained crew — never subcontractors — handles everything from HOA pre-approval through permit coordination, fabrication, and final installation. Learn about our installation process or call +19102561288 to schedule your free estimate.
