You should care for your shutters year-round – not just before a storm is supposed to hit. This will allow you plenty of time to replace any parts or schedule a professional like JNR Consulting Services to repair your hurricane shutters. Aside from regular year round maintenance, you should also consider professional cleaning and care for your hurricane shutters at least once a year. The busiest time for annual maintenance of hurricane shutters is in the spring and early summer months when hurricane season has officially begun but before most storms ever hit.

​

JNR Consulting Services offers professional hurricane shutter cleaning which can help keep your shutter system working effectively and smoothly. It also prevents unnecessary wear to the tracks and other moving parts of your hurricane shutters caused by regular household cleaners. Professional hurricane shutter cleaning also keeps your shutters looking new and helps to keep mold and mildew away.

 

JNR Consulting Services offers professional cleaning services for all types of hurricane shutters – even those we did not install. Here are just some of the things we do to keep your hurricane shutter system working smoothly:

​

Wash The Tracks

​

Dirt and debris can build up on the tracks and can jam the movement of opening and closing of shutters. We’ll thoroughly wash and clean your shutter tracks so they function as they should.

​

Lubricate The Tracks

​

Salty air from an ocean breeze can damage or ruin shutter tracks. To prevent that, we apply a silicone based lubrication to keep all the moving parts from stiffening up, jamming, or even rusting.

​

Lubricate The Thumbscrews and Wheels

​

Proper lubrication of the thumbscrews helps to remove the locking pins easily. We’ll also lubricate the roller wheels to ensure smooth opening and closing of your hurricane shutters.

​

Wash The Slats

​

The slats need to be washed too! After the tracks, they are the second most crucial moving element of the shutters. The slats are the panels that fold open to protect your windows. Proper washing of your slats keeps mold and mildew from building up but it also helps to reduce the damaging effects of the elements – like the ocean air.

Accordian ThumbTurn Egress Locks/Accordian Lock Replacement

​

Over time the Florida sun and weather, destroy the locks which build up corrosion and cause the locks to cease working.  JNR Consulting Services will replace all defective locks with brand new color matching HV Style Locks for Hurricane & Storm Shutters as the original. (White, Ivory Bronze or Beige) 

​

Preventative Hurricane Shutter Cleaning

​

Here are some preemptive measures you can take to keep your investment working:

​

Keep the shutters running

​

Don’t let your shutters sit there idle until they are needed. Open and close them once a month to keep the tracks moving smoothly. Opening them frequently helps to clear the tracks of any debris that could obstruct the shutters.

​​

Keep the tracks clean

​

Just like you should be doing with your gutters, wash your storm shutters regularly and don’t let any dirt or debris settle in the tracks for long. Be extra careful about insect nests since they could disrupt the opening and closing of the shutters. You can easily clean them out with a vacuum or small hand held broom.
