Hurricane Shutters & Storm Shutters in Cape Coral & SWFL
Hurricane season in Southwest Florida runs from June through November—six months when your home is vulnerable. Storm shutters provide proven protection for your windows and doors. At Precision Aluminum & Remodeling, we install every type of hurricane shutter and help you choose the right protection for your home and budget.
Whether you need affordable storm panels or the convenience of motorized roll-down shutters, we’ve got you covered. Call 239-268-0019 for a free consultation.
Why Hurricane Shutters Are Essential
Windows and doors are the most vulnerable points during a hurricane. When a window breaks, wind pressure enters and can lift the roof. The Florida Building Code requires hurricane protection for all openings. Shutters can also reduce your insurance premiums by 25-45%.
Types of Hurricane Shutters We Install
Accordion Shutters
Best for: Large openings, sliding glass doors, lanais, budget-conscious homeowners wanting permanent protection
Accordion shutters fold out like an accordion when needed. One of the most popular choices—excellent protection at a reasonable price. Cost: $15-$25 per sq ft installed.
Roll-Down (Rolling) Shutters
Best for: Maximum convenience, snowbirds, elderly homeowners, whole-home protection
The most convenient option—motorized versions deploy with the push of a button. Smartphone controls available. Cost: $25-$65 per sq ft installed.
Bahama Shutters
Best for: Coastal/tropical aesthetic, shade control, appearance priority
Mount above windows on hinges, prop open at an angle for shade. Lower flat for storm protection. Cost: $20-$35 per sq ft installed.
Colonial Shutters
Best for: Traditional aesthetics, classic Southern or Caribbean look
Mount on either side of windows and swing closed. Add curb appeal while providing protection. Cost: $25-$40 per sq ft installed.
Storm Panels (Hurricane Panels)
Best for: Budget-conscious protection, vacation homes, rental properties
The most affordable option. Corrugated aluminum or steel panels attach before each storm. Require storage space. Cost: $7-$15 per sq ft (aluminum).
Hurricane Screens (Fabric Shutters)
High-strength fabric panels that fold compactly. Lighter than metal, Florida Building Code approved. Cost: $8-$18 per sq ft installed.
Hurricane Shutter Cost Comparison
For a typical 2,000 sq ft home with 15-20 openings:
- Storm Panels: $2,000 – $4,000
- Hurricane Screens: $2,500 – $5,000
- Accordion Shutters: $4,000 – $8,000

Insurance Savings
Florida law requires insurance companies to offer discounts for hurricane mitigation. Shutters can reduce your windstorm premium by 25-45%. Example: $4,000/year premium with 35% discount = $1,400 annual savings. Over 10 years, that’s $14,000—often more than the shutter cost.

FAQ
Do I need shutters if I have impact windows?
No. Impact windows provide equivalent protection and meet Florida Building Code requirements.
Which type of shutter is best?
It depends on priorities: Roll-down for convenience, accordion for value, storm panels for budget, Bahama/colonial for aesthetics. We’ll help you choose.
How long do shutters last?
Quality aluminum shutters last 15-25+ years with proper maintenance. Motors may need replacement after 10-15 years.
