What it costs
Every job is different, so we talk in honest ranges instead of made-up flat rates.

You get a real number before any work starts.
Questions people ask
Do shutters need windstorm paperwork?
They may. Coastal properties often need work that can support TDI windstorm compliance and a WPI-8 or WPI-8E certificate. Ask before installation starts, not after holes are drilled.
Can you install my panels before a storm?
Sometimes, if crews are available and conditions are still safe. Pre-storm deployment fills quickly. Permanent systems are better for second homes and vacation rentals where you may not be nearby.
Do motorized shutters need an electrician?
If the job involves new electrical wiring, circuits, switches, or non-exempt electrical work, use a licensed Texas electrical contractor. Manual shutters avoid that electrical scope.
Can shutters lower my insurance?
Possibly, but the insurer decides. Keep product information, installation records, and any windstorm certificate so your agent has the documents needed to review the policy.
What is best for Padre Island homes?
Corrosion-resistant hardware matters. Salt air is rough on fasteners, tracks, and motors. Many island owners choose accordion or roll-down systems because deployment is faster.
Are panel shutters enough?
Panel shutters work well when they are rated, correctly anchored, labeled, and stored where you can find them. They take more effort to deploy than accordion or roll-down shutters.
When should I install hurricane shutters?
Before hurricane season, not when a storm is already in the Gulf. Measuring, ordering, and installing take time, and crews get backed up fast once forecasts turn serious.
