As you mentioned, it is a good idea to board up all window coverings before you leave, if you have to evacuate. Do hurricane shutters stay connected to the home at all times, and then you just secure them over the window when needed? Or do you have to place them on the house every time you need them?

Good question, Shaylee! Hurricane shutters can be both permanent or temporary fixtures. You can set and forget some hurricane shutters while others need to be put up and taken down every hurricane season. It all depends on the type of hurricane shutters you have. This blog is a good resource to find out which Hurricane shutters are permanent or temporary: https://ygrene.com/blog/types-of-hurricane-shutters

It really helped when you talked about how to prepare a house for storm damage. Recently, my wife and I moved into another area, and we heard how hurricane season gets dangerous around here. We want to prevent major damages to our home, so we'll be sure to look into that. Thanks for the advice on storm shutters and the importance of installing them before hurricane season.

I appreciate that this post shared that when looking to have storm shutters installed, it is important that we are mindful of the material. It makes sense as in doing so, it ensures that we are choosing the right shutters. I will definitely keep this information in mind.

My sister must relocate to a new city due to a change in her place of employment. The hurricane season affects her neighborhood every year. I appreciate that you said that hurricane shutters are readily accessible, simple to construct, and sold at neighborhood hardware stores. I'll persuade my sister to see a hurricane screen specialist to determine the appropriate window treatments for her home.
