For those who are seasonal residents, this service can still be completed as long as we can get access through the condominium or through a neighbor. Red Oaks Shutter can also come out and lube and close your shutters for you before you leave and lube and open your shutters upon your arrival.
Shutter Repairs
Red Oaks shutters professional service department is trained to inspect and inform our customers whether their shutters are in condition to be repaired instead of replaced or rebuilt, which can be a major savings, especially those who are close to the ocean and have excess salt build up.
​
Our main repairs consist of replacement parts of screws, nylons, wheels, locking rods and all different types of locking mechanisms for Accordion shutters. As for Roll shutters, we can provide hangar strap, motor, slat and whole curtain replacements. All of our replacement hardware consists of stainless steel to prevent rusting.

Our trained servicemen can carefully remove your shutters and make repairs on site. With over 25 years in shutter experience, there hasn't been very much we could not fix as long as the shutters are inside their useful life.
Accordion Shutter
Refurbishment
When accordion shutters are neglected for any period of time, particularly when expose to oceanfront environments, they age rather quickly. Locking rods can become stuck, locks can seize up, making them unusable. Red Oaks offers a refurbishment program where the shutters are removed from the building and brought back to our shop. At our state of the art facility, we give the shutters a full inspection and replace any damaged or disabled parts or mechanisms. The shutters are then cleaned thoroughly and the wheels are waxed and all of the components are lubricated so the shutters perform in a much better fashion.
