Plain-language guides on the topics that matter most to Fort Myers people — costs, warning signs, and what to ask before you hire.
Short, practical videos on what hurricane protection actually costs, how the systems perform in Southwest Florida wind zones, and what to ask before you hire. Around Fort Myers, FL, most enquiries come in about hurricane shutter repair, so the order below follows the questions we get asked most.
Plywood gets you no insurance credit, a whole-home accordion system runs $4,000–$12,000 and deploys in under 30 minutes, impact windows run $10,000–$65,000 but pass Miami-Dade missile testing. Which earns the same wind-mitigation discount for a fraction of the cost?
A 20-foot lanai needs protection without a row of columns ruining the view. Flush perimeter anchors, a resin-coated nylon-polyester weave that stretches instead of resisting, and the same winds mitigation discount as metal — folded into one closet bag.
Louvers block UV before it reaches the glass (DOE data: up to 30% off cooling), then the panel drops flat and locks against the frame as a composite-core shield against flying debris, salt air and UV breakdown.
