Hurricane Screens in Bluffton
Storm season is part of life in Bluffton, and the porches, lanais and patios that make Lowcountry living so good are also the spaces most exposed when wind and rain arrive. Southern Custom Shutters is based in Bluffton, and we install hurricane screens that are self-adjusting and hurricane-rated, built to protect your patio and outdoor living area. We measure on site, order the system to fit your openings and install it ourselves.
How Hurricane Screens Protect Your Outdoor Space
A hurricane screen covers an opening with a strong screen fabric instead of plywood or heavy panels. Because the screen is designed to adjust itself, it sits in place across the opening when you need protection and stays out of the way when you do not. That means no last-minute scramble to put up boards when a storm is in the forecast, and no storing panels in the garage for the rest of the year.
Durability matters here. Bluffton’s humidity, summer heat and afternoon thunderstorms are hard on outdoor products, which is why we focus on systems built for coastal conditions and stand behind our installation work with a 12-month workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer’s product warranty.
Planned Around Your Home
No two outdoor spaces are the same. A screened porch in an established neighborhood, a lanai on a newer home and a covered patio by the pool all have different openings and exposures. During the free consultation we look at each opening, talk through how you use the space, and explain the options so you can choose with confidence. Then we handle ordering, delivery and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install hurricane screens in Bluffton?
Yes. We are based in Bluffton and install hurricane screens for homes across Bluffton and nearby Okatie. Call 843-405-9129 for a free in-home consultation.
What makes these screens different from a regular patio screen?
Our hurricane screens are self-adjusting and hurricane-rated, designed to protect a patio or outdoor living space in storms. A standard insect screen is made to keep bugs out, not to stand up to a storm. We will explain which fits your space.
Can I use hurricane screens outside of storm season?
That depends on the system you choose. We will go over how each option operates day to day during your consultation.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the number and size of openings and the product, so we confirm timing with your quote rather than guess.
