When it comes to hurricane season on Florida’s Gulf Coast, waiting is the riskiest move you can make.
At Jansen Shutters & Specialties (JSS), we’ve protected thousands of homes from Nokomis to Naples and the pattern is always the same: once a storm is named, it’s too late to guarantee fast, code-compliant installation.
Here’s why smart homeowners protect early, long before the first named storm appears on the map.
"Why You Should Install Hurricane Shutters Before the First Named Storm"
Material Delays Hit the Moment a Storm is Named
Once NOAA issues a storm name, product demand triples overnight. Aluminum becomes scarce. Fabrication queues stack. Install calendars close up. By prepping early, you lock in the best pricing, fastest scheduling, and full system customization.
You Need Time to Test — and Trust — Your System
Old shutters? Rusty bolts? Dead batteries? We’ve seen it all. Many homeowners don’t realize their system has issues until it’s too late.
Early installation gives you peace of mind and time for a full system test, especially for motorized or smart shutters.
Early Installation = Insurance Savings
Did you know installing impact-rated shutters before storm season can qualify you for up to 30% off your home insurance premiums?
Insurance providers often require documentation before hurricane watches are issued. Waiting puts both coverage and discounts at risk.
Hurricanes Are Faster + Less Predictable Than Ever
NOAA now confirms: hurricanes are intensifying 60% faster than just 20 years ago. And early-season storms are no longer rare, June and July landfalls are real threats.
Smart storm prep means acting while skies are still blue.
