Hurricane Shutters questions, answered by experts

The type of hurricane shutters you install will play a large role in the overall cost of the project. Some of the most common types of hurricane shutters include:

  • Accordion hurricane shutters: $15–$30 per square foot plus labor

  • Roll-down hurricane shutters: $25–$60 per square foot plus labor

  • Bahama shutters: $25–$35 per square foot plus labor

  • Colonial shutters: $25–$35 per square foot plus labor

  • Plywood: $2–$6 per square foot plus labor

  • Storm panels: $10–$20 per square foot plus labor

  • Fabric storm shutters: $5–$15 per square foot plus labor

The average shutter is designed to last 20 to 25 years. Proper maintenance for the type of shutters you have is essential for helping them reach their full potential.

Metal is one of the best types of hurricane shutters because they are the most durable and longest lasting option. This shutter type will likely cost more than other materials like plywood, but metal hurricane shutters are a permanent solution compared to the temporary nature of putting plywood over your windows during a hurricane. You should also consider hurricane panels and automatic roll-down shutters that are useful for emergency situations.

In many cases, hurricane shutters lower the cost of homeowners insurance. If your storm panels are code-compliant with your state or county (or insurance policy), they may lower your annual premium, even in storm-prone areas. Check with your homeowners insurance company to understand the compliance requirements. Even if your insurer doesn’t lower your premiums, hurricane shutters could save you from costly repairs after a storm. 

Clean regularly, check for rust, and lubricate moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
