Q: Do I need a permit to install hurricane shutters in Fort Pierce?
Yes, but don’t worry—we handle all permits, code checks, and inspections for you.
Q: When should I install shutters?
Don’t wait until June. Spring is the best time to install before demand and lead times increase.
Q: Are hurricane shutters better than plywood or DIY options?
Absolutely. Professionally installed shutters offer certified wind-load resistance and long-term peace of mind.
Q: What’s the difference between impact-rated shutters and regular storm shutters?
Impact-rated shutters are tested and certified to withstand both high wind pressures and flying debris, making them the safest option for hurricane protection. Regular storm shutters may shield against wind but aren't always certified for impact resistance.
Q: How do I maintain my hurricane shutters after installation?
Most shutters require minimal maintenance. We recommend rinsing them with fresh water a few times a year and lubricating tracks or hinges annually. We’ll walk you through simple maintenance steps during your install.
Q: Can hurricane shutters improve my home’s resale value?
Yes. Installing certified hurricane protection is often viewed as a value-added upgrade, especially in coastal areas like Fort Pierce. It can also help attract buyers looking for move-in-ready, storm-secure homes.

I highly recommend Lafferty Hurricane Protection. I used them for bahama and hurricane products. I had one question a few months later and Patrick, one of their employees paid us a visit and explained and showed us a few things that we had forgotten when material was installed. No charge to us!!!!! Great company.
Great experience working with Lafferty for our accordion hurricane shutters. From the original estimates, the initial payment and understanding of what to expect, communication, timelines, and installation. Everyone we interacted with was professional and took pride in what they did.
If we need any work for aluminum or screening we’ll be reaching out to them again.
They did a great job with communication to the install of the shutter project and keep me informed on every aspect.
Great, installer did a great job on the shutters and was very polite.
