As Northeast Florida’s oldest and largest hurricane shutter manufacturer, Weather Guard, Inc. has a reputation as THE leader in the hurricane protection industry. Quality design, expert installation and customer satisfaction are our top priorities. We pride ourselves on being innovative and believe that shutters should fully embody both form and function. Over fifteen years ago we invented the stucco process for our shutters. The stucco finish enhances the look of the shutters, while providing protection from Florida’s corrosive environment. Our competitors have tried to imitate us but have not been able to duplicate our expertise in this product enhancing process.

Weather Guard has installed shutters in thousands of homes, condominiums, and commercial institutions-including banks, hurricane shelters, Police and Fire Stations, federal buildings, US Coast Guard Stations, medical centers and Hospice facilities.
Weather Guard, Inc. can help ensure that your home, condominium or commercial business is covered with superior hurricane protection that meets all Florida Building Code requirements. We have worked with many local municipalities and city building departments, as well as government agencies.
As one of the states leading manufacturers of hurricane protection, Weather Guard is recognized by its peers as a statewide leader in the manufacturing and installation of hurricane protection. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and superior products. Weather Guard, Inc. would appreciate the opportunity to help you protect your investment.
