Repairs / Maintenance of Hurricane Shutters

A hurricane shutter that does not work properly when a storm is approaching is worse than no shutter at all — it gives you a false sense of security.

Searching for hurricane shutter repair near me usually happens at exactly the wrong moment — the storm watch just posted, you go to test the accordion shutter you haven't touched since last September, and it's stuck halfway across the track. Common causes of stuck hurricane shutters include bird and mud-wasp nests in the tracks, salt and sand crystallizing on the rollers, corroded fasteners, and tracks that bent slightly during last season's takedown. A hurricane shutter that doesn't operate cleanly is genuinely worse than no shutter at all.

Before hiring, message handymen directly and ask about their experience with your specific shutter brand (Bertha, Eastern Metal, Roll-A-Way, Atlas, Storm Smart, Astroguard, Eurex, or regional systems), what parts they typically carry on the truck, whether they use silicone-based or other lubricants, whether they're insured, and whether their bid covers parts or just labor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should hurricane shutters be inspected and maintained?

At minimum once per year before hurricane season begins on June 1. Tracks and rollers should be lubricated regularly with a silicone-based spray, and all hardware should be checked for corrosion — especially in coastal areas where salt air accelerates deterioration.

My accordion shutters are stuck and will not close — what is usually wrong?

Often the issue is debris in the tracks, worn rollers, or corroded guides. Post photos or a short video of the problem and a shutter repair specialist can tell you what the fix involves in their quote.

Is it worth repairing old hurricane shutters or should I replace them?

In most cases, repair is significantly cheaper than replacement. However, if your shutters are severely corroded, structurally compromised, or no longer meet current building code, replacement may be the better long-term investment. A qualified specialist can advise you after inspection.
