Are you a homeowner unsure about getting hurricane shutters for your home? Did you know that installing them can save you money on your home insurance? Mr. T. has a hurricane shutter expert on today's podcast, the founder of APS Hurricane Protection and Windows, Tim Stipanovic. You will learn about the various types of shutters, the most economical ones, and the installation procedure and maintenance of owning shutters. Oh, by the way, we recorded this podcast during hurricane Ian.
Your home’s entry points; windows and doors are the most vulnerable, during a hurricane. Protecting those entry points can drastically alter potential outcomes of storms, protecting more than just your home, but also keeping your family and keepsakes safe, dry, and with you.
According to NBC News, installing impact windows and accordion shutters can cost an average of over $4,000. They affirm that homeowners “who live in wind-prone areas could see a 10-15% credit on their policy for wind protection upgrades.”
