We saw the article on TV last night. Since we are new to SW Florida it was indeed helpful. We recently purchased a 17 year old home with no hurricane shutters and are in the market. We have heard of the fabric kind which is what we thought we would go with but your article did not even mention those. How can we find out who is a good contractor?
