At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we provide top-quality Bahama shutter installation for homeowners in Cocoa West and surrounding areas. Our Bahama shutters offer a perfect blend of visual appeal, durable storm protection, and functional sun shading to help Florida homeowners safeguard their properties without sacrificing style.
Bahama shutters are mounted above your windows and propped open at a 45-degree angle, offering a tropical, laid-back look that’s ideal for Florida’s coastal homes. But these shutters aren’t just for show—they’re engineered to meet Florida’s strict building codes for wind and impact resistance. When a storm approaches, simply lower and secure the shutters to create a strong barrier against wind, rain, and debris.
Living in or near Cocoa West means preparing for hurricane season every year. Bahama shutters offer the year-round benefits homeowners need:
Bahama shutters are especially popular in beachside and coastal communities throughout Cocoa West because they reflect the charm of classic Florida architecture while offering reliable storm protection. Whether your home is in a historic neighborhood, a modern development, or along the water, these shutters enhance the look of your home and increase its value.
At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every set of Bahama shutters we install in Cocoa West is custom-measured and built to match your home’s style and structural needs. Choose from a wide range of colors, finishes, and materials to create a look that aligns with your home’s design—and your HOA guidelines.
Bahama shutters are known for their durability and low-maintenance design—but regular care ensures they stay functional and looking great for years to come. Especially in coastal areas like Cocoa West, where salt air and humidity are constant, a little maintenance goes a long way.
Coastal air can leave behind salt residue that corrodes metal over time. Gently rinse your shutters with a garden hose every few months to remove salt, sand, and dust—especially after storms.
Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the hinges, arms, and fasteners. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Wipe down with a soft cloth to prevent build-up and staining.
To keep the louvers and hinges operating smoothly, apply a silicone-based lubricant to all moving parts at least once or twice a year. This helps prevent sticking or squeaking, especially in high humidity.
Perform a quick visual inspection a few times a year. Look for loose screws, rust spots, or chipped paint. Touch up minor paint damage with manufacturer-recommended touch-up kits to prevent corrosion from spreading.
At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we know that living in Cocoa West means preparing for serious storms—and your home’s protection has to meet the highest standards. That’s why all of our Bahama shutters are built to meet or exceed Florida Building Code (FBC) requirements.
Our Bahama shutters are tested and approved for use in Florida’s most vulnerable storm zones, including coastal areas like Brevard County. Whether you're in Cocoa West or nearby communities, you can trust that your shutters are ready for the next storm.
Code compliance isn’t just about the product—it’s about how it’s installed. Our licensed professionals follow all local permitting and inspection requirements. We secure every shutter with approved hardware and mounting techniques that satisfy municipal and county codes.
Our streamlined process makes it easy for homeowners in Cocoa West to upgrade their storm protection:
Whether you live in Cocoa West full time or only during the winter months, Bahama shutters are an ideal solution. Their fixed position means no storing or hauling shutters during the off-season.
