Palm Beach Aluminum · Riviera Beach, FL
Hurricane Shutters
Accordion, panel and roll-down hurricane shutters — rated protection for the openings impact glass does not cover.
Not every opening can or should be rebuilt as impact glass. Hurricane shutters are how Palm Beach Aluminum protects the rest — accordion, panel and roll-down systems that turn exposed glass into a defended opening when a storm turns toward the coast, and disappear into the architecture the rest of the year.
The work is in the details: anchoring into structure rather than trim, tracks that will not bind in year five, and a deployment drill before we leave so your first storm closing is calm. Shutters are also honest security — a closed accordion over a slider says 'not this house' all year long.
What You Get with Our Hurricane Shutters
Accordion shutters
Permanently mounted, closed in seconds per opening — the practical choice for sliders and lanais.
Panel systems
The budget-honest option: rated panels that mount when a storm threatens and store when it does not.
Roll-down shutters
Push-button or motorized protection for the openings you use daily — comfort and security in one.
Rated products
Shutter systems selected to the approvals your address requires, confirmed in writing at quoting.
Mounted to structure
Fastened into the building's structure with the right anchors for your wall type — not screwed into trim and hope.
Storm-season ready
We show you the full deployment before we leave, so the first real closing is a rehearsal you've already done.
Options & Materials
System choice is per-opening, not per-house. Accordions earn their price on big and daily-use openings; panels win on guest-room windows that sit closed all year; roll-downs are the luxury answer for lanais and sliders you want protected without a ladder and a wrench. At the measure visit we walk opening by opening with you, note mounting conditions (masonry, soffits, second-story access), and quote the mix that protects the house for the least honest money. Ask about lead times outside storm season — they are kinder.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
- 1
Free consultation & measuring
It starts with a free consultation. We look at your existing openings, talk through what you want to change, take exact measurements and note anything unusual — out-of-square frames, deep sills, HOA rules — that affects the plan.
- 2
Written quote, no pressure
You receive a written quote that spells out the product, the scope and the total price. No vague allowances, no pressure to sign on the spot. Take the time you need to compare.
- 3
Order & scheduling
Once you approve, your products are ordered or made to the exact measurements from step one. We confirm an installation date that fits your schedule and tell you how long the work will take.
- 4
Installation day
Our installers protect floors and furniture, remove the old units, fit the new ones, seal and trim the openings, and test every unit before they leave. Most homes are finished the same day.
- 5
Walkthrough & cleanup
We walk the finished work with you, show you how everything operates, register any warranty paperwork and take all packaging and old materials away. The room is left clean and ready to use.
Care & Maintenance
Before storm season (June), run every shutter through a full open-close cycle, clear tracks of debris, and lubricate moving parts. After a deployment, wash salt and grit off before storing panels. Motorized units: test the manual override once a year so it is not a surprise at midnight in a warning. Any bent track or torn screen call us early — June-you will thank November-you.
What Affects the Price?
No two homes in Riviera Beach are the same, so honest pricing starts with a look at your actual project. These are the factors that move the number most:
- Number and size of openings
- System type — panels, accordion, roll-down
- Motorization for roll-downs
- Mounting conditions (masonry, height, access)
- Permitting at your address

Hurricane Shutters — Frequently Asked Questions
Accordion, panel or roll-down — which is best?+
Accordion for large and frequently-used openings (no storage, seconds to close), panels for budget and infrequently-used openings, roll-downs for push-button convenience. We will price your openings in the systems that suit them — mixed houses are normal.
Are your shutters hurricane-rated?+
Shutter products are selected for the approvals your home requires; we confirm the exact product and its rating for your address before you sign — in writing.
Can shutters protect my existing windows?+
In most cases yes — shutters are the standard way to protect openings that are impractical to rebuild, and mounting is engineered per opening. We assess on the measure visit.
How fast can shutters be installed?+
Book the measure before June if you can — storm season compresses everyone's calendar. Call (561) 844-8285 and we will tell you honestly where the schedule stands.
How much do hurricane shutters cost?+
The honest answer is that it depends on size, material and the condition of the existing opening. Beware of anyone who quotes a firm price without measuring. Palm Beach Aluminum measures first and then gives you a written quote with the full price — free — so you can compare it properly.
How long does a typical hurricane shutters project take?+
Measuring and ordering take the first part of the timeline; the on-site work for most homes is completed in a day. Larger or custom projects take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing before you commit, so you can plan around it.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes — call (561) 844-8285 and we will arrange a free consultation and written quote. There is no obligation and no pressure to decide on the spot.
Do you serve my part of Riviera Beach?+
Palm Beach Aluminum serves the areas listed on our Service Areas page. If your neighborhood is close to a listed area but not named, call us — we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you.
What should I prepare before installation day?+
Clear the area around each opening, take down curtains or blinds if we are not replacing them, and move fragile items away from the work zone. Our team protects floors and furniture, and removes the old units and packaging when the job is done.
Can hurricane shutters be customized for unusual sizes or shapes?+
In most cases, yes. Arches, angled tops, oversized openings and out-of-square frames are measured individually and made or ordered to fit. Bring us the awkward opening — it is usually the one that benefits most from a custom solution.
What information helps my quote be accurate?+
Rough measurements (width × height in inches), a photo of each opening, and a note about what you want to change. Send those when you call (561) 844-8285 and your written quote will be faster and closer to the final number.
What happens if something is not right after the job?+
Call us. Palm Beach Aluminum stands behind its work: if something we supplied or installed is not right, we come back and make it right. That is how a local business keeps its name — one fixed problem at a time.
