Everything You Need to Know About Storm Protection

Big Wave Storm Shutters is led by a state-certified, NAMI-accredited installer with over 25 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing and carpentry. Unlike sales-driven companies, every installation is engineered per the specific opening, ensuring a precise, custom fit for maximum storm protection. We maintain a spotless record with local building departments and never cut corners. Our commitment to using 100% aluminum materials and passing rigorous national standards means your home receives superior, code-compliant protection without the high overhead costs of legacy firms.

Yes, impact windows are designed to provide permanent, low-maintenance storm protection and can fully replace most types of traditional shutters. Many homeowners in Melbourne and coastal Brevard County are choosing impact windows for their clean appearance, ease of use, and insurance premium reductions. Our installations meet or exceed Florida code requirements and eliminate the hassle of deploying panels or accordion shutters before every storm.

Our MagnaTrack retractable screens are engineered for hurricane resistance and are installed according to manufacturer and code standards. As a certified Progressive Screens dealer, we provide remote-controlled screens that combine storm protection with lifestyle enhancements like shade and privacy. All installations are custom-fit and verified for compliance, making them a practical choice for porches, patios, and lanais across the Space Coast.

While we focus on full-system upgrades and new installations, we do not prioritize or advertise repairs for 50-year-old or legacy shutter systems. Selective basic repairs may be considered case by case, but our primary service is helping homeowners modernize with impact windows, new shutters, or retractable screens. This approach ensures long-term reliability and better ROI for your property.

Every home and opening is unique. By engineering every job per the opening, Big Wave Storm Shutters eliminates the vulnerabilities of standardized or pre-fabricated installs. This custom approach ensures a tight fit, superior structural integrity, and long-lasting weather protection that meets the highest industry standards. This level of precision is especially important for homes in Melbourne, Satellite Beach, and other coastal neighborhoods facing frequent storms.
