When Tampa Bay faces the force of hurricane season, one truth has always remained: strong communities need strong protection. Since 1983, ASC Aluminum has been more than a construction company—we’ve been a neighbor, a helping hand, and a storm responder when families needed us most.
This legacy of storm rescue is woven into who we are. From our very first hurricane response project to today’s advanced aluminum solutions, ASC Aluminum has always stood for trust, quality, and resilience.
The Early Days: 1983 and Tampa’s Wake-Up Call
The year 1983 marked one of ASC Aluminum’s first major tests. Tampa Bay faced a series of storms that ripped through neighborhoods, damaging roofs, tearing off shutters, and leaving families vulnerable.
At the time, storm protection options were limited, and many homeowners relied on makeshift solutions. But ASC Aluminum brought something new—aluminum construction designed for strength and speed.
We answered calls from homeowners across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties, repairing storm damage and installing shutters, carports, and roofing systems that gave people a renewed sense of safety.
It wasn’t just about rebuilding—it was about restoring peace of mind.
Building a Reputation in the Tampa Bay Community
Word spread quickly. Neighbors recommended us to neighbors, and soon ASC Aluminum became a trusted name not only for storm response but for preventive solutions that kept families safer year after year.
Key to our reputation was:
- Durable aluminum construction that withstood Florida’s storms.
- Fast response times when hurricanes left homes vulnerable.
- A commitment to honesty and quality in every project.
This community-first approach set the foundation for ASC’s growth and is still our guiding principle today.
Storm Rescue Evolves: From Reactive to Proactive
In the 1980s and 1990s, most of our work was post-storm repair. After each hurricane or tropical storm, ASC crews were out in force, helping families rebuild roofs, re-secure carports, and install shutters.
But by the 2000s, Tampa Bay homeowners began realizing the importance of being prepared before the next storm hit.
That’s when ASC became a leader in hurricane-resistant installations, including:
- Accordion shutters for quick storm protection.
- Bahama shutters that added both shade and style.
- Roll-down shutters for homes and businesses.
- Metal and tile roofing designed for hurricane resilience.
We shifted from being the company people called after the storm to being the partner they trusted before the storm.
The Role of Trust: Why Tampa Bay Chooses ASC
When disaster strikes, families don’t just need products—they need a team they can trust. Over the decades, ASC Aluminum has built relationships that last generations.
We’ve worked with:
- Homeowners protecting their families.
- Businesses safeguarding investments.
- Neighborhoods organizing storm-prep upgrades together.
Our promise is simple: to deliver quality work that stands up to Florida’s toughest conditions.
A Story of Rescue: One Family’s Experience
After Hurricane Elena in 1985, a Clearwater family came to us with a carport ripped from their home and severe roof leaks. Insurance delays left them worried and vulnerable.
ASC Aluminum stepped in—not just to repair, but to rebuild stronger. We installed a new aluminum carport with reinforced anchors and replaced their roof with a storm-resistant option.
Decades later, that same family’s children—now homeowners themselves—still rely on ASC Aluminum for their remodeling and storm protection needs.
This isn’t just business. It’s community continuity.
Today: Modern Solutions with Old-School Values
Fast forward to today, and ASC Aluminum offers cutting-edge solutions for storm protection and home improvement. From energy-efficient roofing systems to custom sunrooms, we continue to help families live comfortably while staying protected.
But one thing hasn’t changed: our commitment to trust and quality, built from those first storm rescues in 1983.
Why Legacy Matters in Hurricane Country
In Tampa Bay, hurricanes are not “if” but “when.” That’s why experience matters. A company that has lived through decades of storms knows how to prepare homes for the next one.
ASC Aluminum’s legacy means:
- We’ve seen it all—from tropical depressions to Category 5 threats.
- We know the local building codes, insurance requirements, and weather challenges.
- We’ve proven ourselves for over 40 years in the Tampa Bay community.
The Next Chapter: Protecting Generations Ahead
As Tampa Bay continues to grow, ASC Aluminum is preparing the next generation of storm protection and remodeling. Our goal is simple: to keep delivering the same trust, quality, and reliability that defined us back in 1983.
Because when the winds rise, you want more than just a contractor. You want a neighbor, a protector, a legacy of strength.
That’s ASC Aluminum.

The story of ASC Aluminum isn’t just about building with aluminum. It’s about building trust, safety, and community resilience for Tampa Bay families since 1983.
