You can expect to pay $1,500 to $6,000 for most full-home shutter projects. Many homeowners spend about $3,500 to $4,000, depending on window count and shutter style.
Material, window size, and labor rates affect your final price. Permit fees may add $150–$200, and peak storm season can raise costs.
The design you choose has a direct impact on price. Options such as roll-down, accordion, panel, or colonial styleseach come with different costs.
Motorized roll-down systems usually cost more because they include moving parts and electrical components. Simpler panel systems often cost less but require manual setup.
Your choice should match your budget, security needs, and how often you plan to use them.
The material affects both cost and performance. Common choices include:
Aluminum resists rust and offers strong protection at a mid-range price. Steel tends to cost more due to its strength. Clear polycarbonate allows light in, which may raise the price compared to basic metal panels.
Stronger materials usually increase total cost but improve impact resistance.
Larger windows and doors require more material, which raises the price. Custom-sized shutters also cost more than standard sizes.
If you protect every opening in your home, your total expense will increase. Covering only select areas lowers the project cost but reduces full-home protection.
Labor charges depend on how complex the setup is. Homes with unusual shapes, high windows, or limited access often require more time and equipment.
Some systems need structural support or special mounting hardware. Professional installation adds to the total cost but helps ensure proper fit and function.
You may choose custom colors, finishes, or decorative details to match your home’s exterior. These upgrades raise the final price.
Standard finishes cost less, while specialty coatings or unique designs increase material and labor costs.
Established brands often charge more because they meet strict testing standards. Higher-quality shutters typically use stronger hardware and better finishes.
Paying more upfront can result in longer service life and fewer repairs over time.
You can expect $20–$30+ per sq. ft. for aluminum.
Clear polycarbonate models run $30–$40+ per sq. ft. and allow light in while adding protection.
Aluminum units cost about $15–$25+ per sq. ft.
Clear polycarbonate versions range from $25–$35+ per sq. ft.
Aluminum colonial shutters typically fall between $18–$28+ per sq. ft.
You pay labor costs when you choose expert installation. Rates often run $50 to $100 per hour, based on job difficulty and home layout.
Complex installs, upper floors, and custom fittings can raise the total. Skilled setup helps your shutters work as designed and last longer.
Motorized shutters increase your upfront cost. You may spend a few hundred to over $1,000 per shutter for motors and controls.
Brand, power type, and remote features affect price. Wiring work can also add labor fees.
Your city or county may require a permit before installation. Fees vary by area.
Permit costs can add $150 to $200 or more to your project budget.
Do not focus on price alone. You should weigh protection level, strength, and ease of use before you decide.
Think about your long-term needs. A higher upfront cost may lower repair and replacement expenses over time.

You can expect to spend about $2,000 to $8,000+ to install storm shutters on an average home.
Many homeowners report a total cost near $3,500 to $5,500+, depending on the number of windows and the shutter type you choose.
Larger homes with more openings will fall at the higher end of the range.
Installers often price shutters by the square foot.
The price per square foot usually includes materials and labor. Automated systems and heavy-duty materials raise the rate.
Many homeowners pay $200 to $600 per window for basic shutter types.
The exact amount depends on the window size and shutter style. Large windows and sliding glass doors cost more because they need more material and longer installation time.
Several key factors drive the final price:
Permanent systems cost more upfront but offer easier use during storms.
Storm shutters usually cost less upfront than impact windows.
Impact windows replace your existing windows and often cost significantly more per opening. However, they provide constant protection without setup before a storm.
Shutters cost less initially, but you must close them before severe weather.
Yes, in many coastal areas, insurers offer discounts when you install approved storm shutters.
You may save about 8% to 10% on your premium, depending on your insurer and location.
You must often provide proof that the shutters meet local building codes to qualify for the discount.
