SC Safe Home Grant for Hurricane Shutters — How It Works with AHS
American Hurricane Shutters (AHS Carolinas) is listed by the South Carolina Department of Insurance as an approved contractor for the SC Safe Home program in the Greater Myrtle Beach Area. The SC Safe Home program helps coastal SC homeowners fund wind mitigation upgrades — including rated hurricane shutters — through state-administered grant reimbursements.
Horry County homeowners who receive SC Safe Home grant commitments can use AHS for their shutter installation and receive the full documentation package required for grant reimbursement: Miami-Dade NOA product certificates, installation compliance reports, contractor license documentation, OSHA-30 certification, and permit records where applicable.
AHS installs accordion shutters, rolldown shutters, Bahama shutters, storm panels, and hurricane screens — all carrying Miami-Dade NOA approval and qualifying under the SC Safe Home protective barriers category. We serve Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Conway, Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet, Garden City, and Pawleys Island.
