Records show that Florida is the state that receives the highest number of landfalling hurricanes. If you are away during hurricane season (June 1- Nov 30) we recommend that you install your shutters upon departure. Most of our customers who shutter their homes enjoy a savings on their summer cooling costs. Furthermore, shutters generally do seem to discourage break-ins, as breaking into a shuttered home is hard work. We can arrange to have your shutters installed upon your departure. Should you employ a “wait and see” approach we will not be able to help you once it becomes apparent we are going to be hit by an approaching hurricane. If you live in a gated community with HOA restrictions or if you use your home periodically through out hurricane season, we do have some other options that may work for you. Please call us to discuss those.
