Permanent storm protection that rolls out of sight
For years Houston homeowners had to pick between plywood, a ladder in the rain the night before landfall, or bulky coverings that spoiled the front of the house. A roll-up shutter ends that trade. It is installed for good above the window or door, stored in a compact housing box, and ready in seconds.
When a storm approaches, the shutter runs down a vertical track on each side and locks in place, putting a wall of high-strength aluminum between your glass and the wind-borne debris. Because it stays attached to the house, there is nothing to haul out of the garage, no tools to find, and nobody on a ladder.
- High-strength aluminum slats built for durability and impact defense, in 44 mm and 56 mm profiles.
- End-retention tracks guide each slat down and hold its ends, so wind pressure cannot pull the curtain out of the track.
- A compact housing box above the opening, finished to match the trim, hides the shutter when it is open.
- The operation you want, from a hand crank to a smart system you run from anywhere.
Built for storms, used every day
Many Houston homeowners and business owners install roll-up shutters as much for security as for hurricanes. The same curtain that stops debris in September darkens a bedroom on a Tuesday.
Storm protection
A wall of high-strength aluminum between your glass and wind-borne debris, locked into tracks on both sides.
Security
Lowered, the curtain stops forced entry through glass doors and ground-floor windows while you are away.
Privacy and darkness
Blackout for bedrooms and media rooms with one switch, and nobody sees in from the street.
A quieter house
Street traffic and the roar of a storm drop away once the shutters are down.
Lower cooling bills
Shade the west glass on August afternoons and the air conditioner works less.
Close it from anywhere
A smart system closes the whole house from your phone, so a trip in hurricane season no longer starts with boarding up.
Engineered for Southeast Texas weather
Humidity, salt air and storms that form in a day are all part of the design brief. Housings, tracks and slats carry a powder coat made to resist corrosion, and the roll-up systems we install are evaluated by the Texas Department of Insurance against the wind loads in the residential and building codes.
Housing box
Sits above the opening and holds the rolled curtain out of sight, finished in a powder coat that matches your trim.
Axle and motor
The curtain winds onto an axle inside the box, with the motor built into the tube on powered systems.
Mounting plates
Carry the axle at each end, and our installers fasten them into the framing your house needs.
End-retention tracks
Guide each slat down the sides of the opening and hold its ends against wind pressure.
Aluminum slats
High-strength profiles in 44 mm and 56 mm, built for durability and impact defense.
Choose how your shutters run
Every opening can have its own drive, so a budget can go to motors where they matter most, like the big patio doors, and cranks on the small windows.
Manual
Operated with a detachable crank handle. The lowest cost per opening, with nothing to wire.
Best for small windows and tight budgets
Automatic and manual hybrid
Runs on a motor through an attached gearbox, which also takes the crank by hand when the power is out.
Best for homes that lose power in storms
Automatic
A 110 V motor controlled by a wired wall switch or a handheld remote.
Best for big patio and sliding doors
Smart
Controlled by remote or from a smartphone, so you can close the house from a beach in another state.
Best for second homes and travel
Powder-coated colors that match the house
Housing boxes and tracks come in custom powder-coated finishes matched to your trim, siding or stucco. Five colors are standard, and a custom match is available on request.
- White
- Bronze
- Beige
- Ivory
- Gray
One switch closes the whole patio
This outdoor kitchen has a shutter on every opening between the columns. Press the switch and each curtain runs down its tracks and locks, so the grill, the bar and the TV ride out the storm behind aluminum instead of plywood.
Going on vacation in hurricane season no longer means boarding up first. Close the shutters from your phone in seconds, wherever the trip takes you.
- Seconds per opening with a motor on each shutter
- Nothing to store in the garage between storms
- Nobody on a ladder the night before landfall

From homeowners with our shutters
All reviewsAmazing experience!! We had a slight delay but Susie went above and beyond to get us taken care of and help us. She’s a gem!! :) The work that was done was outstanding and we could not be happier with our shutter. It is exactly what we wanted and needed. Color is a perfect match as well.
Beautiful Bermuda shutters that really increase the value of the house. Shutters were delayed 6 weeks due to a supplier issue but staff kept me informed along the way and got them installed before my Open House.. A miracle thanks to Susie…recommend them highly.
Geremiah lead a top notch team of Darrel,David and Steve to install hurricane shutters on a very difficult project. Each step was thoroughly discussed, painstakedly planned and meticusly executed to deliver a totally acceptable product. The team gets a 10+. Please treat them accordingly. Very pleased customer John &Jessica Sylvester.
Five years on parts and labor, on every shutter we install
“I've built this business on a 5-year promise: if it breaks, we fix it, parts and labor on us.”
Frank Mistretta, President
Every shutter, screen and window we install is covered for five years, the parts and the labor to fix them. It is the only total-coverage warranty of its kind in the industry, and it comes from the same people who measured and installed the job.
Roll-up shutter questions
Comparing types? See every hurricane shutter side by side.
How fast do motorized roll-up shutters close?
Each shutter closes in seconds. With motors on every opening, a 2,500-square-foot home can be secured in under two minutes, and a smart system closes them all from your phone wherever you are.
What happens to a motorized shutter when the power goes out?
Choose the automatic and manual hybrid system if outages worry you. Its gearbox runs on the motor every day and takes a crank by hand when the power is down, so you can still open or close the shutter.
Do roll-up shutters help with windstorm insurance?
The roll-up systems we install are evaluated by the Texas Department of Insurance against the wind loads in the residential and building codes, and we install them to that engineering. Ask during your estimate what your insurer needs, and we will tell you which system and paperwork fits.
Can roll-up shutters be used every day, not only for storms?
Yes, and most owners do. Closed, they lock the opening against break-ins, darken a bedroom or media room, cut street noise and block the afternoon heat on west-facing glass. Open, they disappear into a compact box above the window.
What colors do roll-up shutters come in?
White, bronze, beige, ivory and gray are standard, in a powder coat made to resist salt air. We can match a custom color to your trim, siding or stucco on request.
Do you install roll-up shutters on businesses?
Yes. The same systems protect storefronts, offices and restaurants, and we also install roll-down security grilles. See commercial security shutters.
