Storm Solutions, Inc designs and installs roll-down shutters, accordion shutters, removable hurricane panels, Bahama shutters, and flexible hurricane screens. Trained company employees complete installation, while our team coordinates measurements, product details, and permitting for the agreed scope.
Naples properties range from single-story inland homes to waterfront residences, condominiums, commercial buildings, and seasonal properties. One building may need more than one shutter type to balance access, storage, appearance, motorization, and storm-day labor.
The main Storm Solutions hurricane shutter page introduces the available product categories. This Naples page explains how to organize those choices around local property conditions.

Fix an incomplete Naples protection plan before a storm forms
A property can appear prepared while still having uncovered glass, missing fasteners, inaccessible shutters, or components that have not moved in years. A calm-weather inspection is the right time to find those gaps.
Request shutter service or a new estimate when you discover:
- Windows or doors with no documented opening protection
- Panels stored without labels that match specific openings
- Missing wing nuts, tracks, bolts, or mounting hardware
- Accordion blades that bind or will not meet at the center
- Roll-down shutters that stop, tilt, or make unusual noise
- Manual overrides that no one in the household can operate
- Corrosion on locks, tracks, anchors, or end retention
- Bahama shutters that cannot lower and latch securely
- Screens with visible cuts, loose edges, or damaged hardware
- A garage, lanai, or entry opening omitted from the plan
Deployment is part of performance. A strong product stored in an inaccessible location or mounted above a ladder height the owner cannot safely reach may not be a practical solution for that household.
Do not wait for a hurricane watch to test attached systems. Each shutter should move through its complete operating path, close as intended, and have its required locks or fasteners available.
The City of Naples property-protection guidance identifies both shutters over glass and impact-resistant window replacement as retrofit methods. Neither option replaces evacuation, flood, or storm-surge planning.
Compare shutter systems by operation, storage, and opening size
Shutter types solve the same broad problem in different ways. Some stay attached and close in place, some must be carried from storage, and flexible systems can address large spans that are difficult to cover with rigid panels.
Storm Solutions helps Naples owners compare:
- Roll-down shutters. These descend from a housing above the opening and may use manual or motorized operation.
- Accordion shutters. Side-stacked blades unfold across the opening on permanent tracks.
- Hurricane panels. Removable metal or clear panels attach to prepared hardware and return to storage afterward.
- Bahama shutters. Top-hinged products provide shade between storms and lower over individual windows.
- Hurricane screens. Flexible systems protect approved wide openings such as suitable patios and lanais.
The Florida Hurricane Retrofit Guide emphasizes that a new shutter is not automatically impact rated. Approval, tested spans, attachment details, substrate, anchors, and installation conditions must all match the intended use.
Our roll-down shutter systems focus on attached operation and compact storage above the opening. Motorized units need appropriate electrical planning plus an understood manual or backup procedure.
Accordion shutters remain attached at the sides and can be practical for windows or doors where rapid manual closure is valuable. Owners should consider their stacked appearance and keep the tracks clear.

Fit Naples shutters to coastal buildings and city review
Naples includes beachfront and bayfront properties, downtown buildings, gated communities, condominiums, older single-family homes, and newer estates. Height, exposure, exterior access, facade design, and association control can all change the shutter plan.
Local project details may involve:
- Upper-floor units where exterior mounting access is restricted
- Association rules governing housings, tracks, and shutter colors
- Wide lanais that need engineered spans and clear deployment zones
- Coastal hardware exposed to salt and airborne residue
- Windows close to landscaping, railings, or architectural trim
- Seasonal residences prepared by a caretaker or manager
- Motorized systems requiring an electrical permit component
- Egress openings that must remain usable as required
The City of Naples shutter checklist requires design pressures, a floor plan, and Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA documentation. It also says pressure calculations for buildings over 60 feet must be signed and sealed by a Florida-registered engineer or architect.
Private property rules remain separate. A permit does not substitute for condominium or architectural approval involving exterior color, visible housings, drilling into common elements, working hours, staging, or access through shared areas.
The mounting surface matters as much as the shutter style. Concrete, masonry, framed construction, trim depth, and existing finishes affect which approved fasteners and build-out details apply.
Create shutter plans for Naples homes, condos, and businesses
Storm Solutions provides free residential and commercial estimates. A project may cover one exposed lanai, add permanent closure to frequently used doors, or assign protection to every vulnerable opening on the building.
Customers include:
- Homeowners replacing plywood with an approved system
- Seasonal residents who need a simpler deployment routine
- Condominium owners following building-wide exterior standards
- Property managers organizing protection for several units
- Businesses securing storefronts and service entrances
- Households combining attached shutters with removable panels
- Owners considering permanent hurricane impact windows in selected rooms
- Customers protecting suitable open areas with hurricane screens
User ability should influence product choice. Panel weight, ladder access, reaching overhead fasteners, and the number of openings can make an inexpensive system difficult for one household and entirely workable for another.
Businesses have different timing concerns. Shutters may need to close without blocking required exits prematurely, and the organization should identify who controls keys, power, overrides, and the final building check.
For condominiums, owners should determine who owns the windows and exterior wall, who approves modifications, and whether the building already has a standard product. Those answers belong in the process before fabrication.

Find shutter failures in tracks, motors, fasteners, and storage
Shutters are mechanical assemblies exposed to the exterior. Dirt, paint, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modification, and long periods without operation can prevent a system from closing correctly.
Common trouble points include:
- Sand or debris packed into lower tracks
- Accordion blades that have shifted out of alignment
- Locks that seize or no longer accept their keys
- Roll-down curtains that travel unevenly
- Motors that stop before full closure
- Manual cranks stored away from the protected opening
- Panel fasteners with stripped threads or missing caps
- Unlabeled panels mixed among several openings
- Bahama support arms that interfere with complete closure
- Screen edges or anchors showing visible damage
Do not apply unapproved lubricants, drill new holes, substitute hardware, or alter a shutter in a way that conflicts with its product documents. Small field changes can affect fit and the approved installation condition.
Removable components need dry, organized storage. Panels should be labeled for their openings, kept with the correct hardware, and arranged so the first panels needed are not buried behind other storm supplies.
After a major event, inspect even shutters that appear intact. Dents, fastener movement, motor problems, stretched screen material, or damage at anchors can affect whether the system is ready for another deployment.
Build a repeatable Naples shutter installation and deployment plan
The installation should finish with more than products attached to the wall. Owners need to understand how each system closes, where accessories are stored, and what to check during routine testing.
Storm Solutions uses a five-step approach:
- Inventory all openings
We identify windows, doors, garage areas, lanais, and other eligible locations, along with any existing impact products or shutters that may remain. - Measure attachment and clearance conditions
The team documents width, height, substrate, build-outs, trim, nearby obstructions, electrical needs, and the space required for housings, tracks, or stored components. - Assign a product to each selected opening
You compare operation, appearance, storage, motorization, manual effort, finish, approval information, and applicable warranty coverage. - Coordinate permits and employee installation
Storm Solutions prepares project documents within the contracted scope and schedules trained company employees to mount, fit, and test the selected systems. - Demonstrate closure and care
The completed shutters are operated, and the customer is shown locks, controls, overrides, removable hardware, labels, and routine cleaning or testing expectations.
The brochure library gives customers access to manufacturer literature during selection. The installed product must still match the measured opening and the approval details used for the project.
Qualified customers may review financing availability for a broader opening-protection package. Any payment option should be evaluated after the product quantities and installation scope are clear.
Before work begins, provide access to the inside and outside of each opening, move fragile items, identify concealed electrical or security components, and communicate community restrictions. For powered products, electrical coordination should be resolved before final testing.

Rely on one Naples shutter team from layout through testing
Storm Solutions has served Southwest Florida since 2010. Its Fort Myers showroom allows Naples customers to compare the movement, profile, finish, and storage characteristics of multiple shutter types before choosing a system.
The company provides:
- Factory-authorized installation by Storm Solutions employees
- No subcontractors performing the installation scope
- A five-year Storm Solutions installation warranty
- Ongoing education for field installers
- Custom product planning for varied opening dimensions
- Free estimates for residential and commercial properties
- Made-in-America shutter selections
- Florida contractor license CGC1520136
Warranty terms vary by shutter, component, finish, motor, controls, and installation. Customers should keep product documents and understand required testing, cleaning, and claim procedures.
Storm Solutions reports a 4.7-star Google rating and more than 350 combined customer reviews on the platforms named on the company website. Current comments can be viewed in the online review collection.
The Storm Solutions company page explains the in-house service model. Direct responsibility is especially useful when product selection, mounting conditions, permitting, electrical coordination, and operation all intersect.
Request Naples shutter installation across Southwest Florida
Naples is one of the primary communities listed within the Storm Solutions service territory. The team can confirm availability using the full address and the types of openings involved.
Other communities on the published route include:
- Bonita Springs
- Estero
- Marco Island
- Fort Myers
- Fort Myers Beach
- Cape Coral
- North Fort Myers
Naples mailing addresses can extend beyond the City of Naples. The property jurisdiction affects permit review, so the project should be tied to the exact parcel rather than the postal city alone.
Owners can compare removable hurricane panels with permanently attached products. Panels preserve a cleaner facade between deployments but require labeled storage, hardware organization, lifting, and installation before severe weather.
Bahama shutters become a visible architectural and shading feature throughout the year. They must still lower, secure, and match the approved conditions for the individual window.
If replacement rather than covering is preferred, the full window collection offers permanent impact-rated alternatives for eligible openings.

Answers about hurricane shutters for Naples properties
What testing should an approved hurricane shutter pass?
The product should carry approval for its intended use and installation. The Florida disaster-preparedness handbook describes a common large-missile test using a 9-pound two-by-four traveling at more than 30 miles per hour, followed by cyclic wind-load testing.
Testing applies within documented limits. Span, anchors, substrate, build-out, fastener spacing, and installation details must agree with the approval rather than being improvised in the field.
Do hurricane shutters require a Naples permit?
Yes, installing shutters alters the building and requires permit review under the applicable jurisdiction. The City of Naples checklist identifies a $100 shutter permit fee, plus applicable review, surcharge, inspection, electrical, or other project fees.
Storm Solutions coordinates the permit scope covered by its installation agreement. Permit, review, inspection, electrical, and surcharge amounts depend on the work and current fee schedule. Association approval and common-element authorization remain separate responsibilities when required.
Which shutters are easiest for a seasonal owner?
Attached products generally eliminate panel transport and storage. Motorized roll-down shutters can reduce physical effort, while accordion shutters provide attached manual closure without depending on a motor.
The best choice depends on who will prepare the property, whether power is available, the need for manual override, opening size, exterior appearance, and budget. Test the actual routine before hurricane season.
Can I install one type of shutter on every opening?
Sometimes, but a mixed plan is often more practical. A standard window, a wide lanai, a garage opening, and a frequently used door create different clearance, access, and operation needs.
Assigning products opening by opening can reduce difficult deployment tasks. The final schedule should remain simple enough that the owner or property manager can follow it under time pressure.
How often should attached shutters be operated?
Use the manufacturer's care and testing instructions for the installed system. Routine operation before storm season can reveal binding, missing keys, failed controls, debris in tracks, or a manual override that needs attention.
Do not wait until an evacuation order or hurricane warning to perform the first full closure. Allow time for professional service if a unit does not operate normally.
Will shutters stop storm surge or flooding?
No. Hurricane shutters protect eligible openings against specified wind and debris conditions. They are not flood panels unless a separate product has been designed, approved, and installed for that purpose.
Naples owners still need to follow official evacuation and flood instructions. Protecting glass does not make the building safe to occupy when authorities direct residents to leave.
Map every Naples opening before choosing hurricane shutters
Tell Storm Solutions who will deploy the protection, which areas are difficult to reach, and whether storage, community rules, lanai spans, or motorization affect your decision. We will measure the selected openings and compare systems around those real conditions.
Storm Solutions employees install and demonstrate the finished shutters after products, documentation, and scheduling are coordinated. You can also operate display products at the Fort Myers showroom before approving the plan.
