Hurricane Shutters and Impact Windows in Fort Pierce, FL

What hurricane protection works for older Fort Pierce homes?

Older Fort Pierce homes are usually a good match for shutters that mount over the existing openings, such as roll-down, accordion or Bahama shutters. They protect the windows without forcing a full window replacement.

Fort Pierce has some of the older housing on the Treasure Coast. Near the historic downtown and the waterfront, you will find wood-frame and block homes from many different decades, often with original window sizes and trim. Those homes need protection that fits the openings they have.

St. Lucie County is inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region, so glazed openings need approved protection under the Florida Building Code. Bahama shutters suit the character of many older coastal homes and shade the windows every day. Roll-down shutters give the fastest storm prep. If you plan to replace windows, impact windows are worth a look.

What do Hutchinson Island condos in Fort Pierce need?

Condos on the island side of Fort Pierce usually need protection for wide balcony openings that face open water. Impact sliding doors, roll-down shutters and accordion shutters are the common answers.

Across the Indian River Lagoon, Fort Pierce’s barrier island has condos and homes that take more direct wind than buildings on the mainland. Balcony sliders are often the largest opening in the unit. A roll-down shutter covers the whole span from one box. Impact sliding doors protect it all the time and keep the view.

Advanced Hurricane Protection offers high-rise impact window and door installs for taller buildings, where products are chosen for the building’s height and wind load. Many beachfront buildings also fall under sea turtle lighting rules, and we can specify turtle-compliant impact glass. We work with owners and associations to meet building rules before work starts.

Do you protect storefronts and businesses in Fort Pierce?

Yes. Advanced Hurricane Protection works on commercial properties as well as homes. For Fort Pierce shops, offices and restaurants, roll-down shutters, impact doors and commercial motorized screens are the usual options.

Roll-down shutters are popular for storefronts because they double as security. They lock down at night, come down fast before a storm and roll up out of sight during business hours. Impact doors keep the entrance protected without adding anything to deploy.

For restaurants and outdoor seating, MagnaTrack commercial screens give shade and bug protection for customers every day, and close off the space when bad weather moves in. We look at each opening, how the space is used and what your landlord or association requires, then quote Florida Building Code approved products to fit.

How far is Fort Pierce from Advanced Hurricane Protection?

Fort Pierce is a straightforward drive north of our Stuart shop, up US-1 or I-95. We serve the city and its barrier island as part of our regular Treasure Coast area.

We are a family-owned company that has served the Treasure Coast for over 20 years. When you request an estimate, we come to your home or business, measure every opening, explain your options and give you a detailed written estimate at no cost.

If you live on the island, tell us when you book. Condo work can involve association approvals and building access, and we plan for those from the first visit. On the mainland, we check every window and door, including side entries and small openings that are easy to forget.

Hurricane season runs from June through November. Booking your estimate in the cooler months leaves more time for permits and product orders. Call (772) 220-1200 to set up a visit.
