Roll Shutters

Storm protection, security, and energy savings — engineered for Honolulu's climate.

What Are Roll Shutters?

Roll shutters are exterior protective systems that deploy vertically over windows, doors, and garage openings to guard against hurricanes, break-ins, and heat gain. Unlike interior blinds or temporary storm boards, professionally installed rolling shutters provide year-round, on-demand protection — built to withstand Oahu's coastal conditions including salt air, high humidity, and tropical storm-force winds.

In Honolulu, roll shutters are one of the most practical upgrades available to homeowners and businesses. A single system replaces the need for storm panels, security bars, and sun shades. They can be operated manually or motorized, integrate with smart home systems, and are custom-fabricated for each opening. Because they meet Hawaii's hurricane code requirements and may qualify your property for insurance discounts, roll shutters deliver both immediate protection and long-term value.

Roll Shutters Built To Protect From Hurricanes and Storms

Honolulu's intense sun, salt air, and coastal moisture demand more than standard window coverings. Our roll shutters are constructed from heavy-gauge aluminum, treated for corrosion resistance, and built to meet Hawaii's high-wind load requirements set by the Department of Planning and Permitting.
We install roll shutters across Oahu — from Honolulu and Waikiki to Pearl City, Kailua, and the North Shore — with every system properly sized, anchored, and code-compliant for local building styles and coastal exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roll Shutters

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.
