There are many benefits for investing in hurricane protection for your home. Here are just a few.

 

 

1. Increases home value

There are those who move to South Florida, with a fear of encountering a hurricane. (Much like Floridians moving to Kansas and expecting to find twisters circulating their neighborhood). They consider hurricane protection (especially rollshutters or accordions) as an extra measure of comfort. This would most certainly give your home the advantage in selling in already difficult market.

 

2. Adds security to your establishment

Pilfering is often common when a tragedy strikes an area. Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Katrina are prime examples. Our shutters are equipped with locks that will protect your home when the electricity is down. This is a very important measure, especially if the owners are forced to evacuate.

 

3. Lowers home insurance rates

Most insurance companies will decrease your insurance premiums if your home is fully protected with shutters. This requires that the installation include the necessary permits and the engineering. Some have testified that in the course of five years, the savings earned paid for their hurricane shutters.

 

4. Saves time in preparation and removal

Hurricane shutters take only minutes to open and close. This allows homeowners to protect their homes and use any additional time for shopping, assisting other neighbors and family members, or evacuating to a safe zone. When the hurricane warning has cleared, then your home is back to normal. There is no inconvenience of having to drill, patch, and store ply board. Anyone living in South Florida knows the inconvenience of having several hurricane warnings in the course of a season.

 

5. Peace of mind.

There is much stress involved when hurricane warnings are announced. Having the proper protection on your home gives peace of mind to the homeowner. Not only is it easy to protect your windows, but they also decrease the wind pressure that your openings are going to experience.
