Ask about our financing options.
For senior citizens, the most important thing to consider is the ease of deploying hurricane shutters. When a hurricane watch is issued you should be able to put your shutters up quickly and easily. The next most important consideration is budget.
When it comes to deploying hurricane shutters, the most convenient option are electric roll down shutters. Roll down shutters come in motorized and non-motorized options.
Motorized roll down shutters can be deployed with the push of a button. This makes storm preparation in Volusia county fast and easy. Of course, this is one of the most expensive options and may not fit into everyone’s budget.
The next best options include accordion shutters or colonial shutters. Both of these types of storm shutters can be deployed easily by one person within about 30 minutes. This depends on the size of the home and where the windows are located. If all the windows are located on the ground floor, then deployment is fast and simple.
We don’t recommend hurricane panels for our senior clients. They are the cheapest option available for approved hurricane protection, but also require much more time and effort to install. Putting up hurricane panels can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes per opening. If budget is the biggest factor in protecting your home, you may need some help putting up and taking down hurricane panels.
