A short history of hurricanes in our area
Visit FEMA for more information and help
We know that 20 years is not how long we have had hurricanes in these areas. But since this is how long we have been in business, this is what we can vouch for. This has given us a first hand look at the devastation that these storms can bring (big or small).
Our biggest scare was hurricane Andrew back in 1992. Although it wasn't the biggest storm to hit us, it was the strongest. Some wind gusts were reported to have been over 250 miles per hour. Its path of destruction was narrow (from Miami to Homestead). Homestead and most of South Dade County were the most affected areas. The casualties were relatively small, but most homes and businesses were not spared. the losses were calculated to be over 40 billion dollars. to this day it remains the costliest disaster in American history.
Insurance costs soared. Many insurance companies went out of business, forcing Citizens to be pretty much "the only game in town". Such has made it very costly if not impossible for lower and even middle income families to own a home. Some who still own are having trouble keeping up with the mortgage, property taxes and windstorm insurance payments. Others have simply sold their homes dirt cheap as an answer to avoid being trapped in such a vicious circle of "impossible" home owner costs.
We can help home owners cushion the blow of such a problem. We can help you reduce the soaring costs of windstorm home owners insurance. After we hurricane proof your home we produce what's called an "Insurance mitigation certificate." Such will be signed off stating exactly what was installed that meets the Dade County codes and when. This now a valid document that insurance companies accept. It is now possible for you as a homeowner to get big discounts. Many times as much as 40%. There are, of course, other ways for you to save even more money on your insurance. You can give us a call and we can tell you how.
Hurricane Season is now over for 2009! What a relief!
We were surprised that our phone rang off the hook near the end of December, despite a very slow season. We realized that many home owners were about to be dropped by their windstorm insurance companies if they didn't install shutters. Others wanted to have the big discount that Florida Windstorm or Allstate could give them. Some of these discounts can be as much as 20% off the homeowner's premium!
But we're still over- stocked. Our prices have dropped dramatically. Now is the perfect time to order your hurricane shutters. Call today.
South Florida was expecting a very active season this year. But Mother nature was kind to us. many would-be buyers put off their purchasing of hurricane shutters, and the season is almost over. last year Faye and Gustav spared us. We had to scramble at the last minute to help our customers with their orders. Some jobs weren't even completed, but Faye seemed to be unforgiving as it mercilessly inched in closer but veered North. That was close!
So don't wait this year and get caught un-prepared. We have plenty of stock for our products now. But the demand will increase as you read this. This year we have been very busy despite "tight money". Consumers know that prices have fallen. That is why we increased our inventory. but at the rate of demand, it won't last long. Also our suppliers have announced a 10% price increase. Don't wait!
Our bronze accordion shutter sale is over. We we will no longer be able to "give it away for peanuts", Call today to find out what the new price is.
Our white, beige and ivory accordion shutters are a steal! Only $11.00 a square foot installed! and up (depending on difficulty of installation). There are other shutter systems that are lower in price than ours (believe or not). But these systems are lower in quality and have been known to fail during small hurricanes, not to mention category 4 and 5.
None of our shutters--in the thousands--failed during the hardest storms of 2005.
We literally ran full speed during Wilma. Some jobs didn't even have all the screws when Wilma stormed over us, but all accordion shutters held!
Our Roll up shutter is also reduced, only $22.00 a square foot installed for a manual. Add about $300 for a motor (electrical installation and permits are extra).
We are licensed and insured since 1993.
Yes, we pull permits and work closely with Miami-Dade County and other Municipalities.

Here's what customers say about us:
They came out same day and fixed my screens on the spot and charged a very reasonable price! Other companies on this yahoo local list were called but they were too expensive or too busy. I highly recommend them. Call this company first!
Friendly and service oriented: Although the 2005 hurricane season was very active. Shutters and Screens made sure that we got our shutters in 2 months instead of 3-6 months that other companies had told us. the price was fair and the staff friendly. I highly recommend them
So don't be like the wishful thinker hoping
that by doing nothing, hurricanes will always pass us by
