Do you install outside Brownsville?
Yes — across Cameron County, including Harlingen, San Benito, Port Isabel, South Padre Island, Los Fresnos, Laguna Vista and Rancho Viejo.
Is South Padre Island different?
Island homes and condos face direct Gulf exposure and salt air, so corrosion-resistant hardware and condo-association rules matter.
