Hurricane shutters built around the way you prepare your property

Five shutter systems for different openings and preparation routines

Storm Solutions designs and installs hurricane shutters in Fort Myers, FL and nearby Southwest Florida communities: roll-down shutters, accordion shutters, hurricane panels, Bahama shutters, and hurricane screens, assigned by opening size, access, storage, appearance, and budget.

Hurricane shutter systems we install across Southwest Florida

There is no universal shutter that belongs on every window, door, garage, or lanai. We evaluate the opening, its surrounding construction, everyday access, and the person responsible for deployment, then assign the right system, often mixing several across one property.

Roll-down shutters

Bertha roll-down systems stay attached above the opening in a compact hood, with interlocking slats that lower through side tracks to form a protective curtain. Electric motors handle normal operation, with an optional hand crank as manual backup. Best for openings used frequently enough that a permanently attached system beats loose panel storage.

Accordion shutters

Bertha High Velocity accordion shutters fold into stacks at the sides of a window or door and meet in the center to lock, rated for Category 5 wind conditions. Lock options include heavy-duty stainless steel, T-handle, and push-button formats. Suited to windows and sliding glass doors where the owner wants attached, direct-operation protection.

Hurricane panels

Standard and custom-sized panels in steel, aluminum, or clear polycarbonate, installed over an opening during prep and removed after the threat passes. Steel is the lowest-cost material, aluminum trades weight for strength, and polycarbonate admits daylight. Works best with accessible openings, adequate storage, and a labeled storage plan.

Bahama shutters

Heavy extruded aluminum shutters mounted above individual windows at roughly a 45-degree angle, providing daily shade and a coastal profile, then lowered and secured for storm protection. Best for individual window openings where exterior character matters alongside protection.

Hurricane screens

Atlas Armor and Ultrashield flexible screen systems for patios, pool houses, lanais, and storefronts, rated for wind speeds above 155 mph, with manual or optional motorized operation. Placement depends on columns, beams, pool access, and the everyday traffic path through the space.

Residential, association, and commercial shutter projects

Storm preparation varies with ownership and building use. We plan shutter protection for:

• Single-family homes with standard and custom-sized openings
• Canal-front and coastal properties with broad glass areas
• Seasonal residences secured by a local property manager
• Condominiums and villas subject to association approval
• Rental properties needing documented deployment instructions
• Retail, office, and other qualifying commercial buildings
• Garages, patios, pool areas, lanais, and outdoor kitchens

Storm Solutions also coordinates shutter projects with hurricane impact windows and impact-resistant exterior doors when a permanent replacement is the better call for a given opening, including homes with broad sliding glass doors.

How we design and install a usable shutter plan

Step 1, opening survey. We identify every window, door, garage, storefront, patio, pool, and lanai opening in scope, and ask who normally prepares the property and what existing protection will remain.

Step 2, access and condition review. We record wall material, dimensions, trim, thresholds, electrical access, storage, and the clearances each system requires while moving or stored.

Step 3, product assignment. Each opening gets a recommendation based on approved use, size, manual effort, motorization, appearance, and cost. One property may use roll-downs at a lanai, accordions at sliders, and panels at accessible windows.

Step 4, documentation and employee installation. We coordinate required permitting, then schedule factory-authorized company employees. Installation is never handed to a subcontracted crew.

Step 5, operation and handoff. We close and reopen every installed product, identify controls and removable components, and walk the customer through care, manual backup, labeling, and warranty information.

The parts behind reliable hurricane shutter operation

Tracks, housings, locks, hinges, anchors, motors, and attachment points determine how a shutter system moves and connects to the building, as much as the protective surface itself.

Roll-down and accordion hardware

Compact hoods, interlocking slats, end retention, side tracks, electric motors, and optional hand cranks on roll-downs; folding blades, upper and lower tracks, center handles, and key or push-button locks on accordions.

Panel and Bahama hardware

Steel, aluminum, or clear polycarbonate sheets with headers, tracks, and direct-mount studs on panels; heavy extruded aluminum, top hinges, and support arms on Bahama shutters.

Screen systems

Atlas Armor or Ultrashield fabric with housings, side retention, bottom bars, and structural connection points, motorized or manual.

Storm Solutions offers working product displays at its Fort Myers showroom, where customers can compare physical effort, visibility, storage, and control location in person before choosing.

Why installation accountability matters for every opening

Employee installers, not subcontractors

Factory-authorized Storm Solutions employees complete every installation. Customers know which company is responsible for the measurements, the work, and follow-up.

A showroom built for real product comparison

Photographs don't show how much space an accordion stack uses or how light passes through a clear panel. Our Fort Myers showroom lets customers examine those differences before ordering.

Five-year installation warranty

Storm Solutions backs every installation with a five-year company warranty, reviewed separately from product factory warranties, which vary by system and manufacturer.

Made-in-America shutter options

Storm Solutions' published shutter and screen products are Made in America.

We bought hurricane screens from Storm Solutions. Start to finish, sales consultation through installation, the process was smooth and easy. We were assigned a project coordinator who kept us informed of progress (order status, delivery of product, permit status, etc.) and worked with us to schedule at our convenience.

The salesman went above and beyond in answering our many questions and providing product documentation. The coordinator went above and beyond in scheduling and communicating. We were out of state during the installation and had a relative go to the house when needed, so it was important to know timing.

The installers worked very hard and diligently through the extremely hot and humid weather. They were there on time and were professional. They left the job clean and tidy, as if they were never there.

The hurricane screens themselves do not disappoint and we feel we paid a fair price for them. We would highly recommend Storm Solutions to anyone looking for hurricane screens, and for any other of their products because of the wonderful service they provided.

My wife and I are very pleased with
the work provided by Storm Solutions in Fort Myers. We decided to have them install impact windows to our home. Seven years ago they installed a new custom French patio door, and then we received an outstanding service as well. Olaf Michaelsen, the sale representative, is knowledgeable, pleasant to speak with. He takes pride to educate you about the options and he never oversell and over explain anything. The impact windows is a big investment, we interview 3 other companies and at the end we were pleased  with the
work of Storm Solutions team.

We contacted Windows Solutions Group LLC for a repair on our Marvin Coastline sliding glass door.  Louis was prompt, responsive, and quickly arranged a visit to assess and complete the necessary repairs.  He was professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Windows Solutions Group for any of your window and door needs.

I had 3 lanai sliders replaced 2 years ago. Excellent experience and product with Storm Solutions. Last year, wanted to update a number of windows to hurricane rated. Although quotes were nearly identical with another company, the decision to choose Storm Solutions was easy based on prior prior experience.
The window install worked just as well and I have not had any reason to follow up. Shelby did an excellent job coordinating with his team and even provided a nice package for HOA approval. Highly recommended.

Common questions about hurricane shutters in Southwest Florida

Which hurricane shutter provides the best protection?

The best choice is an approved product correctly configured and installed for the specific opening. Roll-down, accordion, panel, Bahama, and screen systems solve different access and deployment problems, so compare the full assembly, not the product name alone.

How much do hurricane shutters cost in Fort Myers?

Cost depends on shutter type, opening dimensions, manual or motorized operation, mounting conditions, finish, and the number of openings included. Storm Solutions provides a written estimate after measuring the property.

What happens to a roll-down shutter when the electricity fails?

Optional hand cranks are available for applicable roll-down shutters configured with that feature. Keep the crank and any required key where the responsible person can reach them, and test the procedure before storm season.

Can one property use several shutter types?

Yes. Mixed systems are often more practical than forcing one product onto every opening; a home might use roll-downs over a lanai, accordions over sliders, and panels on accessible windows.

Are hurricane shutters better than impact windows?

Deployable shutters can preserve suitable existing windows while adding a protective covering. Impact units replace the full window assembly and remain ready without a closure step. Many properties use both, depending on window condition, budget, and deployment capacity.

Do hurricane shutters stop storm surge or all water intrusion?

No. Shutters address wind pressure and windborne debris according to their approved use. They don't stop floodwater or make the building waterproof, so keep evacuation and flood planning separate from the shutter checklist.

Do I need a permit for hurricane shutter installation?

Permitting typically applies, but requirements depend on the jurisdiction, property, and project scope. Storm Solutions coordinates required permitting for its contracted installation; association or condo approval remains a separate step for the owner.

Build a hurricane shutter plan you can actually deploy

The right system fits the opening, the property, and the person preparing it. Storm Solutions compares roll-down shutters, accordion shutters, hurricane panels, Bahama shutters, and hurricane screens without forcing one answer across every window, door, garage, patio, pool, or lanai.
