Hurricane Panel Installation and Removal Without the Last-Minute Guesswork
Brannen Services installs, removes and restacks existing removable hurricane panels for homeowners in Panama City Beach, Panama City and nearby Bay County communities.
Existing Storm Panels
Prepared Before the Forecast Turns Into a Stampede
This service is designed for homes that already have removable hurricane panels, assigned openings and compatible attachment hardware. We inspect the available panels and hardware, install them at the existing locations and return later for removal and organized restacking when conditions allow.
Installation and removal are quoted as separate line items so the schedule, payment and scope remain clear.
First-come, first-served scheduling
Storm preparation is limited by crew capacity, daylight, travel time and safe weather conditions. Booking early is the best way to avoid discovering that everyone else had the same idea on the same afternoon.

Homeowner Preparation
What Must Be Ready Before We Arrive
Stage the Panels
Panels must be accessible and not buried behind vehicles, storage boxes or several years of decisions nobody wants to revisit.
Gather the Hardware
Compatible bolts, wing nuts, tracks and other assigned hardware must be available for inspection and installation.
Provide Safe Access
Openings, walkways and work areas must be reasonably clear. Pets, vehicles and furniture should be moved away from the work zones.
Safety and Scope
Weather Conditions Decide When Work Stops
Installation or removal may be delayed or suspended because of high winds, lightning, heavy rain, wet or unstable surfaces, unsafe ladder conditions or other hazards. Panels will not be handled when conditions make the work unsafe.
This service does not include engineering, certification, structural modification, fabrication of replacement panels or installation of a new permanent shutter system. Repairs outside handyman scope require the appropriate licensed contractor.
Removal timing is not guaranteed immediately after a storm
Roads, weather, community access and the number of scheduled homes may affect the return schedule. Panels remain installed until removal can be completed safely.

Estimate Factors
What Affects the Price
Pricing depends on the number and size of openings, panel weight, upper-level access, hardware condition, labeling, storage location, travel and the amount of preparation required. Installation and removal are priced separately.
Questions
Hurricane Shutter FAQs
Do you provide new hurricane panels?
This service is primarily for existing homeowner-supplied panels assigned to the property. New engineered shutter systems, fabrication and certification are not included.
Is removal included in the installation price?
No. Installation and removal are separate line items because they occur on different dates and involve separate scheduling.
Can I wait until a storm warning is issued?
You can request service, but availability cannot be guaranteed. Scheduling is first-come, first-served and subject to weather and safe working conditions.
What happens if hardware is missing?
We will identify the problem, but missing or incompatible hardware may prevent installation until suitable replacements are obtained.
Do you serve Latitude Margaritaville Watersound?
Yes. Latitude Margaritaville Watersound and nearby Bay County communities are within the service area, subject to scheduling availability.
