Hurricane Shutters questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Wood is the most classic shutter material. Common options include pine, cedar, or brasswood. MDF shutters are also a more affordable option that retains the timeless, classic look. Composite shutters, mainly vinyl and aluminum shutters, have also become more popular over the years. You may also find steel shutters, sometimes referred to as security shutters, used on the exterior. Shutters also come in various colors and finishes, adding another layer of design flexibility.

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.

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
