"I contacted Mr. Handyman of Greater Savannah after an attempted break-in at my house left me with a broken window. The receptionist, Angela, was very polite while I explained what happened and how I needed to have the glass replaced in one window pane. She explained that the technicians work on an hourly wage ($165 for first hour, $110 for each additional hour) and that I would also have to pay a “travel fee” because my address is not within their normal boundaries. However, I was not told how much the fee was going be. Instead, it was explained that “it depends on how far the technician had to drive from the previous job.” The technician, John, then contacted me to set up an appointment time. I explained that I wanted to have glass replaced in the window pane. When John arrived at the appointed time, I expected that he would be able to perform the job I had requested to be done. John looked at the broken window and informed me that he was not able to replace the glass himself. He was able to remove the pane and take it to local glass stores to see if someone could fix it. I told him that was something I could do myself. Why would I pay someone else an hourly wage to do something I could myself? John offered to board the window for me and I said yes, that’s fine. I assumed a handy man would have some simple supplies on hand and available, but I was informed that he did not have plywood and would need to go to Lowe’s to pick some up. John returned and proceeded to board the window with plywood. After working on the job for a total of an hour and a half, John presented me with a bill of $426.29. I was appalled! Who charges $426 to board a window? John could not give me a receipt, he suggested I contact the receptionist to have it emailed. I felt I had no choice but to pay even though it was an incredibly high amount. According to the invoice that was emailed to me, I paid $360.50 for labor and $65.79 for materials. Based on the hourly price I was quoted and the fact that John worked for 90 minutes, I calculated the following: $165 1st hour of work + 55 for additional half hour --------------------------------------- $220 total hourly wage + 65.79 for materials -------------------------------------- $285.79 labor & materials $426.29 total cost - 285.79 labor & materials ----------------------------------------- $140.50 leftover So I am left to assume the remaining $140.50 was the “travel fee.” My address is 38 miles from the office of Mr. Handyman of Greater Savannah. Am I happy with the work done by John? He did a good job of hanging plywood, however, he did not complete the project that I hired him for. Am I happy with the services provided by Mr. Handyman? No, when I spoke to Angela she could have said, “I’m sorry ma’am, we are not able to replace glass windows.” Or, when John called to schedule the appointment he could have said, “I’m sorry ma’am, we are not able to replace glass windows.” I would have appreciated the honesty and integrity and maybe possibly used their services for some other future project. However, after spending $426.29 for a boarded window, I will never call Mr. Handyman or recommend them to anyone. I believe it is very sneaky how they could not give me a price for the travelling fee as well as the fact that I never saw or signed any agreement contract until after the job was complete (although the job intended was NOT complete). I feel as though I was robbed again. You fooled me once Mr. Handyman, but trust me, you will not fool me a second time."

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.
Hurricane shutters can add value to your home by protecting windows from flying debris during a storm and possibly reducing your home insurance premiums, likely appealing to potential home buyers. The material also plays a role in the value of the hurricane shutters. For example, plywood hurricane shutters are a more temporary solution that likely will not impact home insurance costs even if it can save your windows and doors from damage.
Hurricane shutters cost about $3,700 on average, ranging from $1,500 to 5,900, depending on the style, size, materials, and your location. Materials may include metal, plastic, fabric, or wood.
Additional cost factors to consider include the number of windows, the time of year you install, and necessary permits. Keep in mind that if you purchase and install hurricane shutters during hurricane season, namely June through November in most states, you can expect to pay more due to increased demand.
Considering the advantages and disadvantages of hurricane shutters can help you decide if they’re the right choice for your home. Some pros and cons include:
Pros
Protection against flying debris during hurricanes and other strong storms
Many available styles
Relatively easy to remove compared to impact windows
Customizable to fit your home
Cons
Expensive cost
Require maintenance
Take up significant space
Many require you to go outside to operate
When comparing impact windows vs. hurricane shutters, it’s important to consider the protection and installation details to determine the right choice for you. For constant protection against storms and flying debris, impact windows are a better option than hurricane shutters, especially if you don’t want to install shutters that will change the look of your house. However, impact windows are more costly than hurricane shutters. If you want a budget-friendly option that’s still protective against storms, hurricane shutters are a solid option.
