Cape Coral's 400+ miles of canals mean salt-air corrosion reaches almost every home. Add Hurricane Ian damage and post-storm rebuilds, and Cape Coral has become one of the most demanding install environments in Florida. Our team has installed thousands of plantation shutters here — including hundreds of post-Ian replacements — and we know what works.
Salt-air corrosion damages mounting hardware, creates surface rust on un-treated steel, and corrodes finish on hardware not rated for marine environments. We use only stainless and corrosion-resistant hardware on Cape Coral installs — and we never install onto the cheap zinc-plated hardware some companies use. Frame mounting on Cape Coral homes also has to account for older block construction in 1970s neighborhoods (which holds well) vs. newer stucco-on-frame (which needs more careful anchor selection).
Hurricane Ian's eyewall passed directly over Cape Coral in September 2022 with 150mph winds and storm surge. Many homes lost windows entirely; many more lost the shutters they had installed. Our team installed hundreds of replacement plantation shutters across Cape Coral in the year following Ian. We know which products survived and which failed — and we recommend accordingly.
Cape Coral building department requires permits for some window-treatment installations, particularly hurricane-rated exterior systems. For interior plantation shutters, permits are usually not required — but we handle any documentation needed for HOA or insurance compliance as part of the install. Our installers carry the licenses and insurance Cape Coral requires for trade work in the city.
Every plantation shutter we sell is built in our Fort Myers, FL factory by craftsmen on our payroll, then installed by our W-2 install team. The same company that built it is the company that installs it and the company that warranties it. That's why our lifetime warranty is genuinely lifetime.
Lifetime warranty on every plantation shutter we install. Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Cape Coral, and the entire Florida coast.
