“Sometimes in our very busy lives we don’t take the time…”
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010Sometimes in our very busy lives we don’t take the time to say “thank you” for a job well done. We were very pleased with the work your installer Shane did at our home. He worked tirelessly all day by himself and did a fantastic job.
He took the time to show us everything & never appeared in a rush even though it was approaching 6:00pm. So we wanted you to know what a valuable employee you have in Shane who is hard working & knowledgeable.
Our salesman, Olaf, was also terrific & responsive to every phone call and question asked.
Thank you all for a job well done!

Storm Smart & Animal Refuge Center
STORM SMART INDUSTRIES DONATES HURRICANE PROTECTION TO ANIMAL REFUGE CENTER
Storm Smart’s “We Care” Program Donates Shutters To ARC
Ft. Myers, Fl- July 16, 2010- Storm Smart Industries, the largest and most innovative hurricane protection company in Southwest will be supplying and installing hurricane protection for the Animal Refuge Center, better known as ARC. Storm Smart’s “We Care” program began in 2008 to help families and local businesses in need during hurricane season. Yes, even animals too!
The Animal Refuge Center of Fort Myers is a not for profit animal welfare society dedicated to stopping the escalating cost to impound, care for, kill and dispose of dogs and cats dying for no reason other than having been born. ARC is a non-euthanasia organization. Not only does ARC protect and save many hundreds of animals, but ARC also has an indoor training program to help train and rehabilitate animals so, they are more attractive to a potential adopter.
“We are pleased to be able to help ARC and protect the facility that cares for so many animals that would otherwise not have a chance and include them in our “We Care” program, said Brian Rist, Storm Smart Industries, president.
Storm Smart Industries will be installing the shutters on the facility in the next few weeks to be sure that the facility is protected during hurricane season. Storm Smart will be visiting the facility on July 20th, 2010 to measure and meet the team at ARC.
“As the largest no-kill shelter in the state, it is essential that our treatment center remain intact during a storm. This will allow us to not only care for our animals, but it would place us in a position to help the community at large,” said Betty Hughes, Board Treasurer, ARC,” Arc also serves as a triage center and it would be very sad to loose that ability.”
Storm Catcher Like Hurricane Vest For Your Home
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010Storm Smart’s Storm Cather Wind Abatement screen was featured in the Houston Chronicle- here is a part of the article!
“Thanks to the newest technologies, there is an alternative. A manufacturer of hurricane-protection systems has introduced a hurricane wind-abatement system that has become a mainstay in Florida and Texas. It is a system and a collection of installation options that are practical to use.
Impact-resistant screens are made of a heavy-duty, geosynthetic polypropylene mesh, not unlike the heavy mesh material of a trampoline. The heavy-duty screens block flying debris and 97 percent of wind and driving rain — while allowing natural light into the building. Multiple installation systems range from those that are installed manually to fully automated roll-down systems with remote controls. All of the installations meet and exceed the strict requirements of the Florida Building Code as well as the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. They are lightweight, easy to install and allow light and air to filter through.”
