Hurricane Shutter Company Inc

What Hurricane Shutter Company Inc does

Hurricane Shutter Company Inc (legal entity Hurricane Shutter Co. LLC) is a privately held, owner-operated specialty installer and supplier of hurricane and storm protection systems headquartered in Larose, Louisiana. The company designs, manufactures to specification, supplies, and installs custom storm shutters, screens, and related protection products for residential, commercial, and seasonal/camp properties throughout Southern Louisiana, including the Houma and Morgan City markets. The firm is owned and led by Todd Plaisance, who brings 30+ years of construction experience and 15+ years of dedicated shutter industry experience and personally inspects every installation for fit and quality.

The product portfolio spans 11 distinct categories: Roll-Ups Shutters, Studio Star Shutters (motorized bottom-up system for triangular, arched, and trapezoid openings), Colonial Shutters, Bahama Shutters, Accordion Shutters, Outside Blinds, Storm Panels (Dade County approved), Security/Storm Screens, Garage Door Braces (aircraft-grade aluminum), Solar/Insect Screens (Zip Tex), and Wind Abatement Screens (geo-synthetic polypropylene). All products are built using extruded aluminum alloy, stainless steel hardware, and polycarbonate or geo-synthetic materials, and are rated to withstand hurricane-force winds exceeding 140 mph. A meaningful differentiator is the exclusive representation agreement with Alutech United, Inc. for rolling shutters, which the company describes as the only manufacturer of rolling shutter systems for odd-shaped and unusual size openings.

The business operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer go-to-market with free onsite estimates and product consultations, quote-based custom pricing, and owner-conducted installation oversight. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by local traditional channels (Yellow Pages, newspaper advertising, highway signage, and word-of-mouth referrals) supplemented by a basic website with a Request Information form. Revenue is generated from one-time product sales of custom-manufactured shutters and screens plus professional installation services. The customer base is a long tail of homeowners, business owners, and seasonal property owners in Southern Louisiana, with no disclosed enterprise anchor accounts, no funding history, no M&A activity, and no public financials.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Roll-Up Shutters Motorized or manually operated rolling shutters that deploy from an above-window housing to fully cover and protect residential and commercial openings during hurricane events. Sourced through the company's exclusive regional partnership with Alutech United, Inc.
• Studio Star Shutters Decorative and impact-rated shutter system designed to combine aesthetic appeal with hurricane-grade protection for South Louisiana homes.
• Colonial Shutters Hinged, two-piece decorative shutters that close and latch over windows to provide impact protection during storms while preserving traditional Southern architectural styling.
• Bahama Shutters Top-hinged, louvered shutters that mount above windows and prop outward at an angle to shield glass from sun and storm impacts, with a tropical aesthetic suited to coastal Louisiana homes.
• Accordion Shutters Folding, side-tracking aluminum shutters that open and close along a permanent rail system for quick pre-storm deployment over windows, doors, and wide openings.
• Storm Panels Removable aluminum or steel panels that bolt directly over windows, doors, and other openings to provide a cost-effective, code-compliant hurricane barrier.
• Security / Storm Screens Engineered mesh screens designed to absorb wind-borne debris impact while allowing light and airflow, used to harden windows and openings in residential and commercial buildings.
• Wind Abatement Screens Specialized impact-rated screens engineered to reduce wind load and debris damage on large glazed openings and lanais in hurricane-exposed properties.
• Garage Door Braces Retrofit bracing systems that reinforce residential and commercial garage doors against hurricane wind pressure, addressing one of the most common structural failure points during storms.
• Outside Blinds Exterior-mounted blinds that provide sun shading and supplemental storm protection for windows and outdoor living areas in coastal homes.
• Solar / Insect Screens Retractable or fixed screens designed to block sun and insects while integrating with the company's exterior shading and storm protection product line.
