Installing Hurricane Shutters

Permanent hurricane shutter installation is one of the highest-impact upgrades a coastal homeowner can make — once installed, hurricane shutters can qualify your home for a wind-mitigation insurance discount, eliminate the annual put-up-and-take-down labor, and end the pre-storm scramble. The catch has always been finding a fair-priced installer.

Hurricane Handyman is a marketplace approach to that problem. Order your storm panels, accordion shutters, rolldown shutters, Bahama shutters, colonial shutters, or hurricane fabric from any wholesaler or manufacturer (including our sister site Hurricane Shutters Wholesale), then post the install job here. Upload product specs, opening counts, and photos, and answer four short intake questions about shutter type, license requirements, permits, and whether you want to bundle annual service.

Local installers see the post and submit competing fixed-price quotes. You compare profiles and bids on the platform and pick the pro whose price, license credentials, and timeline match your job. HVHZ counties (Miami-Dade, Broward, parts of Palm Beach) require licensed installation and pulled permits — make sure to confirm those credentials directly with the handyman before hiring.

Your payment is held in escrow through Stripe until the work is done, including (if applicable) permit close-out and the final wind-mitigation inspection.

Before hiring, message the handymen directly. Ask about prior shutter installs of the same type, their HVHZ license number if you're in a HVHZ county, whether they pull permits as part of their bid or charge separately, what their warranty covers, and whether they coordinate the wind-mitigation inspection that captures your insurance discount.

This service runs the entire hurricane belt — every coastal Florida county, the Texas Gulf Coast, Louisiana, Alabama, the Carolinas, Georgia coast, the Caribbean, and Pacific hurricane zones in Hawaii. Post your install job today and start collecting bids.
