officially established in 1985, I have been designing and building many different things since I was a child. Advertising my company as a GENERAL BUILDING/DEMOLITION CONTRACTOR is an understatement. WE do odd jobs, handyman repairs of just about anything made by man, HOME IMPROVEMENTS, and start to finish building projects.

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 biggest disadvantage to hurricane shutters is the cost. Hurricane shutters aren’t the most budget-friendly home improvement project. If you choose a shutter style that you have to go outside to operate, it could pose a challenge if you have issues with mobility. Additionally, they require a fair bit of maintenance and upkeep to stay in the best possible condition to protect your home.

There are many ways to mitigate wind damage. Some of the most common methods include installing storm windows and doors and wind-rated garage doors. When you get a wind mitigation inspection, the inspector will also assess the condition and shape of your roof to see how well it will withstand strong winds.

During hurricanes or other major storms, high winds can cause objects and debris to fly through the air, which can break your windows. Depending on how strong the storm is, the winds themselves may be strong enough to break your windows, too. Investing in storm windows or hurricane shutters can help protect you against potential window breakage.

If you’re installing hurricane ties, consider other storm-proofing projects. You could call a window pro to install storm windows, get in touch with a door installer to add storm doors, or just ask your hurricane tie installer what other projects they’d recommend you get done at the same time.
