What to verify before hiring any shutter contractor in Fort Myers, FL — especially after Hurricane Ian.
Verify the contractor holds a valid Florida license (CGC, CBC, or specialty). Check at MyFloridaLicense.com. Unlicensed contractors are common post-disaster — always verify.
Confirm general liability ($1M minimum) and workers' compensation insurance. Ask for certificates with your name as additionally insured.
Every shutter product must have a valid Florida Building Code Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or Miami-Dade NOA. Ask for documentation showing your specific product is approved. Without this, insurance may deny coverage.
Shutter installation requires a permit in Lee County. The contractor should pull the permit, schedule inspections, and provide final approval documentation.
Get a detailed written estimate with product specs, scope, timeline, and both manufacturer AND installation warranties. Never accept verbal quotes for hurricane protection.
After Hurricane Ian, many out-of-state contractors flooded Fort Myers. Ask for Lee County references from the last 12 months. Check Google reviews, BBB, and local community groups.
