After Hurricane Ian devastated Fort Myers and Southwest Florida in 2022, homeowners know firsthand why storm protection matters. Hurricane season runs from June through November—six months when your home is vulnerable to catastrophic damage. Storm shutters provide proven, code-compliant protection for your windows and doors, and can reduce insurance premiums by 25-45%.
At Precision Aluminum & Remodeling, we’ve protected SWFL homes for over 60 years. We install every type of hurricane shutter and help you choose the right protection for your home and budget. Plus, you may qualify for up to $10,000 in matching grants through the My Safe Florida Home program.

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%.

- Storm Panels: $2,000 – $4,000
- Hurricane Screens: $2,500 – $5,000

Florida law requires insurance companies to offer discounts for hurricane mitigation. Storm shutters can reduce your windstorm premium by 25-45%. All openings must be protected to qualify—every window, door, and skylight.
Example: $5,000/year premium with 35% windstorm discount = $1,750 annual savings. Over 10 years, that’s $17,500—often more than the shutter cost.
