Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hurricane protection for your Oʻahu home or building.

How long does installation take?

Most residential installations are completed in a single day. Larger homes or commercial properties may take 2–3 days. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your free in-home consultation.

Do I need condo board or HOA approval?

Many condominiums and HOAs in Hawaiʻi require board approval before any exterior modifications. All Island has worked with 150+ condo associations and can provide all required documentation, product specs, and insurance certificates to support your application.

What’s the difference between roll shutters and accordion shutters?

Roll shutters retract vertically into a housing above the opening and can be operated manually or motorized. Accordion shutters fold to each side of the opening when not in use. Both meet hurricane code requirements. The right choice depends on your opening size, aesthetics, and how often you’ll operate them — our team will walk you through both options during your free estimate.

Are your shutters up to Hawaiʻi’s hurricane code requirements?

Yes. All products we install meet or exceed Hawaiʻi’s current hurricane protection requirements and are fully code-compliant for both residential and commercial installations on Oʻahu. We carry all required licensing and insurance.

Do you service shutters installed by other companies?

Yes. We repair, maintain, and service shutter systems regardless of who originally installed them. If your shutters aren’t working properly, call us and we’ll assess and repair them. We’re the only full-service roll shutter company on the island that handles all brands and systems.

How much does hurricane shutter installation cost in Hawaiʻi?

Cost varies based on the number of openings, product type, and site requirements. Most homeowners invest between $1,500–$8,000+ for a complete installation. Some homeowners insurance providers offer discounts for code-approved storm shutters, which can help offset the cost. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
