Why Invest In Hurricane Shutters?

  • Hurricane Shutters are not just for saving you from Hurricanes.
  • They protect your home from intruders when you are away.
  • They protect your home from heavy winds and flying debris.
  • They protect your investment.
  • They protect your family.

Hurricane Shutters can save you up to 20% on your homeowners insurance premium. While a costly expense upfront, they can pay for themselves 10x over throughout the course of your home.

Hurricane Shutters offer you and your family peace of mind that your home is protected during hurricanes or extended vacations.
The real value of Hurricane Shutters are priceless.

Obviously sliding glass doors, french doors or any door with considerable glass in it should be protected. Some double doors or garage doors should either be shuttered or reinforced.

Shutters will protect your house and possessions from wind damage whether you are there or not. If the storm surge should reach your home then the shutters will not protect against the flood of water.
While not every place in the evacuation zone will flood, you should take every reasonable precaution to protect your property.
The best time to have shutters installed is when the house is in the process of being built, so that the shutters can be incorporated into the design of the home. If you own a house without shutters have them installed as soon as is practical. Keep in mind that the beginning of hurricane season may be a busy time for most installation companies. Do NOT wait until a Hurricane Watch is issued for your area.

 

When a Hurricane Watch is issued for your area check all mechanisms and hardware, and install the more difficult shutters. If you live in an evacuation zone, it will take 2 or 3 hours to complete your shutter installation, you may want to start during the Watch phase. If you are not in an evacuation zone you should time your installation early in the Warning phase so that you are not struggling with panels during high winds.
