Hurricane Shutters in
Orlando FL
Inland storms still flatten Orlando — Charley in 2004 and Ian in 2022 both produced sustained winds well over the 130 mph threshold across Orange County. VIP Home Improvement Specialists installs permitted, code-compliant hurricane shutters across Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, Maitland, Ocoee, and Lake Mary. We handle the permit, the install, the inspection, and the insurance paperwork.

Orlando Storm Protection
Inland Doesn't Mean Safe
Orlando homes still face Category 2 and 3 winds during major hurricanes — and unlike coastal Florida, most Orange County homes were built before tougher 2002 wind codes. That means single-pane glass, weak frames, and zero wind protection on the openings most likely to fail.
We work across every Orlando neighborhood — Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, College Park, Baldwin Park, Winter Park, Maitland, Apopka, Windermere, and the rapidly growing east side. Our specialists know the Orange County permit process, work with your HOA on architectural approvals, and deliver shutters that look as good as they perform.
Most Orlando installations pair accordion shutters on rear sliders and patio doors with discreet roll-down shutters on the front elevation — that combination passes inspection, qualifies for insurance discounts, and keeps your curb appeal intact.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need hurricane shutters in Orlando?+
Yes — Orlando is fully inside Florida's wind-borne debris region. Hurricanes Charley (2004), Irma (2017), and Ian (2022) all produced major-hurricane wind speeds across Orange County. Insurance carriers may not require shutters by name, but they reward homes that have them with 15–30% wind-mitigation discounts.
Which hurricane shutters are best for Orlando homes?+
For inland Orlando homes, accordion shutters on the back of the house and roll-down shutters on the front is the most popular combination. Removable aluminum panels are the budget option but require manual deployment before every storm.
How much do hurricane shutters cost in Orlando, FL?+
Hurricane panels run about $15–$25/sq ft installed. Accordion shutters in Orlando are $25–$45/sq ft, Bahama shutters $35–$55/sq ft, and motorized roll-downs $50–$90/sq ft. We finance through Regions Bank and EnerBank USA at 0% promotional rates.
Do you handle Orange County hurricane shutter permits?+
Yes — every Orlando install includes the Orange County permit, structural calcs, and final inspection. We handle the entire process so you don't miss work or wait on hold with the permit office.
How quickly can you install hurricane shutters in Orlando before a storm?+
We commit to installation within 3–6 weeks of contract for Orlando customers under normal conditions. Once a named storm enters the basin, FEMA emergency declarations may extend lead times — call early in the season.
