Several South Florida shutter companies are offering their help after the largest shutter company in the area failed to deliver customers' shutters.

WSVN -- The owner of Rolladen Shutters, Robert Hoffman bailed out of jail Friday morning after being arrested Thursday.

Hoffman is charged with organized scheme to defraud and unlicensed contracting, after dozens of former customers said they paid for shutters but never got them.

William Bein from All Broward Hurricane, wants to give the victims who lost their money to Rolladen a break in prices. "We'll offer them the accordion shutters at cost. It's a very high-end product, very strong, very secure, and we're not looking to make a penny," said Bein
