"Things went very smoothly. The company is extremely well run, appointments are made convenient to the customer and service is on time and professional. Installation was quick and no trash was left behind. Although the Hunter-Douglas window treatments were pricey, they were custom fitted to my windows and it was money very well spent. I can't say enough good things about Slats and Pleats. I would definitely hire them again if I decide to get new window coverings for the rest of the house."

"The thing that impressed me most was that Dave acted like it was important for him to do the best he could for me. I'm tired of people I want to hire not calling me back, being late or trying to make me feel like they are doing me a favor. Dave seems to understand that the little job I give him today might turn into a much bigger job tomorrow. I will definitely call him again the next time I need a handyman."

"I have used Wallace Handyman both last May to install a backyard gazebo and this past week to install vinyl flooring in my foyer and kitchen. Both jobs were expertly done. His workers are always on time and both courteous and professional. Mike Wallace is a pleasure to do business with, which is very hard to find in the CONTRACTING world of today."

FAQs for security or storm shutters installation projects in New-york, NY

Yes. In hurricane-prone markets, buyers and appraisers place a premium on homes that already include hurricane shutters. By adding a proven layer of storm protection, you’ll boost curb appeal, reduce future insurance claims, and give the next owner one less project to tackle—all factors that can lift your home’s resale value.

Yes, you’ll want shutters on every window. Skipping even one opening creates a weak spot that high winds or flying debris can exploit, putting the whole house at risk. Full coverage gives you consistent protection, reduces the chance of costly repairs, and can even help you qualify for insurance discounts in hurricane-prone regions.

Most insurers reward storm-ready homes. By adding hurricane shutters, you lower the risk of wind and window damage, so carriers often shave 8% to 10% off annual premiums in hurricane-prone states. Those savings stack up year after year and help offset your upfront costs, all while reducing the odds you’ll pay out of pocket for post-storm window repairs.

Aim to have your shutters installed before hurricane season, which runs from June through November. Scheduling the work in the spring gives you plenty of lead time and allows you to avoid the late-season rush. If you haven’t finished by the time a storm watch is issued, you can still install them; however, earlier preparation offers more peace of mind and smoother scheduling with local professionals.

Yes, installing both hurricane shutters and storm windows provides the highest level of protection for your home. While storm windows can withstand hurricane winds without shattering, combining them with shutters adds an extra barrier against debris. Installing both systems will increase upfront costs—storm windows average $12,000 installed—but this dual approach shields your home from wind damage and reduces repair expenses after severe weather.

The main disadvantage of hurricane shutters is their cost, as they represent a significant upfront investment compared to other storm protection options. Another disadvantage is that some shutter styles require manual operation from the outside, which can present challenges for individuals with mobility issues. Additionally, shutters require regular maintenance, such as lubricating tracks and inspecting fasteners, to ensure they function correctly. Neglecting upkeep can lead to corrosion or damage, reducing their effectiveness when you need them most.
