We took direct hits of 20 Ft waves slamming the house for hours during the extra high tide. Not a single drop of water entered our house. Seriously, not a drop. We saw our immediate neighbors' homes brutalized by Long Island Sound. The shutters 100% did a superior job. We decided to complete the protection of the house by installing shutters on the remaining windows and doors. Mark came out to measure promptly and within a short time, he installed them. In our extensive years as multiple home owners, we have seen our share of inferior craftsmen. Mark gives homeowners hope. Yes, that perfect installer does ,indeed, exist. He is meticulous, immaculate and hard working. Best of all, he is a problem solver. He thinks. He creates perfect solutions to those annoying problems that always seem to present themselves on the job. All that and he comes with an engaging personality and style. The shutters are fantastic and you will not find a more honest and skilled person than Mark Legenos to measure and install them.
