Absolutely. Conway sits only 15 miles from the coast and directly along the Waccamaw River corridor, which channels storm surge and wind energy inland during hurricanes. Hurricane Florence (2018) caused catastrophic flooding in Conway, and Hugo (1989) devastated inland Horry County. Storm shutters are the primary line of defense for your home’s openings.
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 Conway homeowners see premium reductions that offset a significant 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 Conway property takes 1–2 days. We handle all Horry County permits, inspections, and perform a full walkthrough before closing out the job.
Conway’s proximity to the coast means salt air still affects hardware. We recommend: rinsing tracks and slats with fresh water monthly during summer, applying a dry silicone spray to tracks twice a year, and exercising shutters at least twice per hurricane season. See our full maintenance guide.
