What your neighbors say

Quick answers

Which hurricane protection is best for my home?

It depends on the opening, how fast it needs to close and the look you want. Most homes use a mix. We recommend one for each opening at your free consultation.

What if I am out of state when a storm comes?

Crimsafe security screens are always in place, and Fenetex® hurricane screens lower at the push of a button. We can also do your consultation virtually.

Do I need a permit for hurricane shutters in Florida?

Yes. Permanent hurricane protection needs a building permit, and many communities also need HOA approval. We handle both.

How much does hurricane protection cost?

Hurricane protection typically costs about $16 to $115 per square foot, depending on the type, from fabric shutters at the low end to Bahama and colonial shutters at the high end (based on a standard 3050 window). Fenetex® MaxForce™ motorized hurricane screens typically cost $4,330 to $7,350 for 8' x 8' to 12' x 12' openings (2026 MSRP, accessories not included), and a certified Fenetex dealer can provide an exact quote.
