We've recently experienced a slight hurricane scare. Hurricane Dorian's disorganized path caused many Southwest Florida residents to go into panic mode. Although in the end, we were fortunately spared from the storm, it prompted many Floridians to take a look into their hurricane preparedness plans. Here at Naples Shutter, our goal is to help our clients protect their homes with the very best hurricane protection on the market.

In recent years, many homeowners are seeking to move away from the grand Tuscan look into a more modern, contemporary vibe. The large columns, arched openings and stoned walls, reminiscent of the architecture in Italy are being replaced by clean lines and a minimalist look.

When it comes to the exterior of your home, adding Bahama shutters can help you take your home from dated to stylish in no time. Here's how to transform your home from Tuscan to contemporary with Bahama shutters.

If you're searching for a window treatment that offers elegance and functionality, you may find it difficult to choose what's best for your home.

When it comes to protecting your home during hurricane season, there are a variety of products available that claim to do the best job. But how can you be sure?

Here at Naples Shutter, one of our top recommended products for protecting your home from inclement weather is AstroGuard Hurricane Fabric.

Areas that get wet are trouble for wood shutters, which means that another option with a similar look needs to be available. Well, the good news is that there is an option for these moisture-prone areas of the home. Our product spotlight this month focuses on poly shutters. Let's discuss what they are and why they may be the perfect solution for your space.
