"Perfect. I enjoyed getting to sit in the storm shelters at their showroom to help with size selection. After signing up for the install, they connect you to an online portal to manage the contract and to update building permit number, etc. Installation was prompt and clean."

"Great doors. Not cheap. *Atrocious* customer service. I cannot stress how horrible and slow their customer service is. It took me a year of constant hounding, long numbers of unanswered emails, cancelled installation appointments, wrong doors, etc, before they finally finished the job. I'm still missing the correct door hardware for my master bath, but, after months more of unanswered emails and excuses, I've pretty much given up. Check the complaints with the BBB. Same story. Buyer beware."

Hurricane Shutters questions, answered by experts

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.

If a window breaks during a hurricane, the first thing to do is get away from it, shut the door to the room, and move to a different part of your home. Ideally, you should wait out the storm in a room that doesn’t have any windows. Afterward, safely throw out the broken glass while wearing gloves and call a window replacement professional to discuss your options.

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. 

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

In areas prone to hurricanes, not having hurricane shutters can make your home more of a risk to insure, leading to higher premiums. But by installing them, you can save about 8% to 10% on your insurance premium. Having hurricane shutters not only saves you on insurance but can also save you from costly window repairs after a storm.
