Storm Protection That Fits Your Home
Hurricane shutters remain one of the most effective, code-recognized ways to protect openings during a storm. We install several shutter types, and help you choose the right fit for your home’s style, budget, and how often you need to deploy them.
Shutter Types
Hurricane Shutters We Install
Accordion Shutters
Panels that fold and unfold from a permanently mounted track — fast to deploy and stay attached to the home year-round.
Aluminum Storm Panels
Removable corrugated panels installed before a storm, then taken down and stored flat the rest of the year.
Bahama Shutters
Louvered shutters mounted above each window that prop open for shade and airflow, then drop and lock flat before a storm.
Louvered Shutters
Fixed or operable louvered panels that combine hurricane protection with a decorative, architectural look.
Shutters vs. Impact Windows
Shutters are typically the lower-upfront-cost way to protect an opening and can be added to existing windows and doors. Impact windows cost more upfront but require no deployment before a storm. Many homeowners mix both.
Insurance & Wind Mitigation Credits
Florida insurers are required to offer premium credits for verified opening protection, including qualifying hurricane shutters. We can document your installation for a wind mitigation inspection.
Why Ricketts
Why Homeowners Trust Us With Their Hurricane Shutters
We Diagnose Before We Quote
Every project starts with an in-person assessment, not a phone estimate. We explain exactly what we find and why we recommend it before you commit to anything.
Licensed, Insured, And Accountable
We’re a Florida-licensed contractor (CCC1331129 roofing, CBC1259476 general contracting) — not a storm-chasing crew that shows up after a hurricane and disappears.
A Warranty You Can Actually Use
Every completed job comes with a written workmanship warranty on file, so you have documentation if a question comes up later.
Common Questions
Hurricane Shutters, Answered Directly
Which shutter type is right for my home?
It depends on your budget, how often you want to deploy protection, and whether you want a permanent architectural feature or a removable system. We’ll walk through the tradeoffs during your free inspection.
Do hurricane shutters qualify for insurance credits?
Florida insurers are required to offer premium credits for verified opening protection, including qualifying hurricane shutters — we can document your installation for a wind mitigation inspection.
Can I mix shutter types on the same house?
Yes — many homeowners use a faster-deploying system like accordion shutters on frequently-used openings and storm panels on others.

“Ricketts handled our roof repair after a bad storm and made the whole process easy — showed up when they said they would, explained what was actually wrong, and kept the property clean every day. Would recommend them to anyone in South Florida.”
