LDR Group is the wholly owned subsidiary of the corporate parent Miscellaneous Enterprises Etcetera LLC, as originally formed in 1993 as a Delaware corporation, and later formed in New York in 2008 in the depths of the Great Recession. Originally doing business as Local Dad Repairs, it had at it's heart the goal of helping people in our community keep their homes repaired in hard times. In 2016, with the economy booming and the need for our services diminished,the company shifted it's focus to commercial consulting, serving millwork (custom woodwork and cabinet) companies in the NYC and Washington DC markets. When the corona virus pandemic besieged us all, we realized that there was an opportunity to once again serve our community, but in a more future focused manner that made full use of the skills gained in energy efficiency and home improvement we had developed over the years. LDR is now focused on providing a very special, very important need to our community and our world-hyper energy efficient Passive House buildings as new homes and home renovations. We will no longer do smaller remodeling projects like kitchens, baths, additions and basements. We have moved on to doing just whole house Passive House 'Renphits' or new build Passive House homes. Ask us how we can reduce the energy your home uses by up to 90%!

He guided us from design and engineering and applications, researching materials and finding subcontractors ,through construction. He solved problems as they arose. He kept work moving despite covid, snowstorms and holidays! Recommend highly!"

Hurricane Shutters questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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

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. 

Yes, by reinforcing hinges and latches to prevent unauthorized entry.
