What Are Hurricane Shutters
Why Hurricane Shutters Matter in the Caribbean
Hurricane shutters are certified, impact-rated systems that protect windows, doors, and openings from flying debris during a storm. When a window breaks in a hurricane, wind rushes inside and pressure builds fast, which can lift the roof off the house. Shutters stop that damage before it starts.
The Caribbean sits directly in the path of Atlantic hurricanes, and storms like Irma, Maria, Dorian, and Beryl showed how quickly a single storm can devastate entire islands. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and many islands face direct hits or near misses in the same year. For island homeowners, storm protection is not optional — it is part of owning a home here.
At Caribbean Hurricane Shutters, every installation starts with a wind-load assessment for your specific property. We anchor into solid concrete and masonry using stainless steel fasteners, never into trim or plaster that cannot hold the load. The result is shutters that stay on your home when the wind picks up, not ones that only look secure.

What We Do
How Caribbean Hurricane Shutters Protects Your Home
Every job begins with a free on-site visit to your home or business. We measure every opening, assess your wind exposure, and recommend the right system for your property and budget. You get a clear written quote with no hidden costs.
Site-Specific Wind-Load Assessment
We assess the wind pressure your property faces based on its location, elevation, and exposure to the open sea. A cliffside villa facing the ocean needs a very different setup than a sheltered home inland. Your shutters are matched to the loads your home will actually face, not a generic estimate.
Marine-Grade Installation — Built for Salt Air and Sun
Caribbean sea spray and strong sun break down ordinary hardware within a few seasons. That is why we use stainless steel fasteners and marine-grade aluminum on every job. Most island homes are built with concrete block, so we anchor directly into that solid structure for maximum holding strength.
Permits and Approvals — All Handled
We prepare and submit the paperwork needed for your installation, including building approvals from the local planning authority where required. For condos, villas, and gated communities, we also help with association approval requests. You simply approve the design, and we take care of the rest.
Every Major Storm Shutter System — Installed by One Local Team
We install all seven major hurricane shutter types and recommend what is right for your property. Our advice is based on your openings, your budget, and how often you are on the island. We do not push one product just because it is easier to sell.
Accordion Shutters
From $38 / sq ft
Accordion shutters are permanently mounted beside each window and slide closed in under a minute. There is no storage, no ladders, and no last-minute rush before a storm. This is the system most Caribbean homeowners choose when they want storm prep to take minutes, not hours.
Rolldown Shutters
From $52 / sq ft
Rolldown shutters are available with a manual crank or motorized control. They retract into a compact housing above the opening, so they stay hidden when open and form a solid barrier when closed. They are a top choice for wide openings, holiday homes, and properties left empty for long periods.
Bahama Shutters
From $55 / sq ft
Bahama shutters are hinged at the top and prop open at an angle for everyday shade and cooling breezes. Before a storm, they swing down and lock flat over the window. They suit the classic Caribbean look perfectly while also protecting your home.
Colonial Shutters
From $55 / sq ft
Colonial shutters are mounted on each side of the window and frame it neatly when open. Before a storm, they close together and latch across the opening. They are ideal for traditional and heritage-style homes where appearance matters.
Storm Panels
From $22 / sq ft
Storm panels are aluminum or clear polycarbonate panels that slide into permanent tracks around each opening. They offer certified protection at the lowest installed cost. They are a practical choice for rental properties, guest houses, and budget-conscious homeowners.
Hurricane Screens
From $52 / sq ft
Hurricane screens are strong fabric barriers, often motorized, for verandas, patios, and very wide openings. They can cover large spans where rigid panels are not practical. When open, they roll away completely and leave your view untouched.
Flat Polycarbonate
From $30 / sq ft
Flat polycarbonate panels are clear, impact-rated panels that keep your windows protected while letting light in. They offer glass-like visibility during a storm, so your home does not feel closed in. They are the preferred choice where ocean views and natural light are a priority.
Why Caribbean Hurricane Shutters
What Caribbean Hurricane Shutters Does Differently
Built for the Island Climate
We use stainless steel fasteners and marine-grade aluminum because salt air and strong sun wear out standard hardware quickly. Every part installed on your home is chosen to last in the Caribbean environment. This means fewer repairs and longer life for your shutters.
Property-Specific Wind Assessments
We assess the wind exposure of your exact property instead of relying on a general estimate. Your elevation, distance from the sea, and opening sizes all shape our recommendation. This makes sure your shutters are strong enough for where your home actually sits.
Anchored Into Solid Concrete — Not Trim
Every system is fixed directly into the concrete or masonry structure of your home with the correct anchor depth. The wind load transfers into the strongest part of your building. Shutters fixed to trim or plaster can tear away in a storm, and we never cut that corner.
Locally Owned, Caribbean Roots
Caribbean Hurricane Shutters is a locally owned business serving the islands we call home. We do not rotate crews or pass your job to subcontractors. The same team that quotes your project installs it and stays available afterward.
Paperwork and Approvals Managed
We handle local building approvals and association paperwork wherever your project needs them. We also provide product documentation you can share with your insurance company. You receive completed paperwork, not a list of instructions.
7-Year Workmanship Warranty
We stand behind every installation for 7 years. If any workmanship issue comes up, we return and fix it at no charge. We will still be here, with the same phone number and the same team.
