Safer Homes of Florida is committed to helping homeowners and business owners make their homes and businesses safer. Protecting against the ravages of hurricanes, storms, tornados, burglaries and other destructive threats. As residents of Florida, we enjoy the sunny days and our love for the beaches, but with that, we are exposed to the annual hurricane season, June - December. Also, burglary and theft is on the ever increasing rise. We must protect our families and businesses from these risks.

Insurance companies, having paid out billions of dollars after Hurricanes Charlie, Frances, Hugo, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma are now doubling rates or refusing to renew policies in Florida. Installing good, quality hurricane shutters in an effective way to both protect your family and home or business, as well as having the added advantage of providing your insurer giving a large discount on premiums.

We invite you to investigate putting storm shutters on your home or business. Enjoy the peace of mind knowing that you acted prudently in making your home or business safer!
