Why Hurricane Shutters Are a Must for Coastal Homes
Every year from June through November, homeowners in St. Simons Island face the risk of hurricanes and tropical storms. While there’s no stopping Mother Nature, there is a way to prepare—and hurricane shutters are one of the most effective and affordable solutions available.
Key benefits of hurricane shutters:
- Protect windows and doors from flying debris
- Prevent water intrusion during heavy wind-driven rain
- Reduce damage and insurance claims
- Deter looting after a storm by securing entry points
- Increase your peace of mind—even when you're away
Installing shutters before storm season ensures your home is ready, even on short notice.

Tips for Choosing the Right Storm Protection System
Not sure which hurricane shutter is right for your home? Here are a few practical considerations:
1. Frequency of Use
If you're a full-time resident, a permanent, easy-to-deploy system like roll-down shutters is likely the best fit. Seasonal homeowners may prefer the affordability of removable panels.
2. Aesthetics
Some shutters are more discreet than others. Roll-downs and custom aluminum options can be designed to blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior.
3. Accessibility
Do you want a system you can operate solo, without tools or assistance? Motorized roll-downs offer convenience and peace of mind.
4. Budget
We’ll work with your budget to find a solution that offers solid protection without compromising on quality or design.
