Simply Put- Awesome work. We had Aluminum Bahama Shutters installed in 2006 that had all the elements of life on the beach front. Pitted, faded and peeling, flat ugly. I researched many powder coaters /sand blasters in the Morehead - Jacksonville area and couldn't get a quote, in most cases, not even a callback. Buying new ones was over $3,000! Even the shutter company quoted a crazy high price to handle the refinishing. On a hunch, I found Live Wire in a Wilmington search and it looked promising. I spoke with Jessica, sent photos and dimensions and they generated a quote for a little under $1200 for 3 shutters. We took them down, they examined them and said they felt they could do the work, even though they had the thin blades. The original quality of the power coating was poor, the company didn't prime them first. Live Wire could not guarantee all the corrosion pitting would be gone. Well, they finished them on the promised time, we went to get them and were floored. Each looked like brand new and sparkling. No, all the pitting wasn't gone, but who cares from 15 feet, they look gorgeous and we saved over $2,000! Sweet.
Highly recommend this company. Everyone was generous with their time and explanations. read more
