What homeowners in Tequesta ask us about
What hurricane protection suits a Tequesta home?
Many Tequesta homes are a good fit for motorized screens on the lanai and impact windows and doors on the house, with roll-down shutters where a closed barrier makes sense. The mix depends on how close you are to the water and how you use your outdoor space.
Tequesta is a small village at the very top of Palm Beach County, right at the Martin County line. It wraps around the Loxahatchee River, so many homes sit on the river, its branches or nearby canals. Docks, pools and covered patios facing the water are common, and so are wide sliding doors.
Palm Beach County is inside Florida’s wind-borne debris region, which means every glazed opening needs approved impact products or shutters under the Florida Building Code. We walk each opening with you and recommend products that meet code without blocking the river view.
Why put motorized screens on a riverfront lanai?
Motorized screens give a riverfront lanai shade, privacy and bug protection at the push of a button, then roll up out of sight so nothing blocks the water view. With the Defender hurricane screen, the same system can also protect the lanai when a storm is coming.
On the Loxahatchee, the low afternoon sun off the water can make a west-facing lanai hard to use. A lowered screen cuts the glare and heat while still letting you see out. At dusk, it keeps the bugs off the patio.
We install MagnaTrack screens, which run from a remote, a wall switch or a smart-home system. They suit covered lanais, summer kitchens and pool areas with a solid roof or beam to mount to. We size each screen to the opening, check the structure and coordinate the power connection it needs.
How far is Tequesta from Advanced Hurricane Protection?
Tequesta is a short drive south of our shop in Stuart, down US-1 through Hobe Sound. It sits right on the edge of Martin County, so it is close to home for us even though it is in Palm Beach County.
We are a family-owned company that has served the Treasure Coast for over 20 years. Estimates are in person and free. We come out, measure every opening, explain what fits and leave you a detailed written estimate.
Because we are nearby, follow-up questions are easy too. If a motor or a shutter needs attention, you are calling a local team a short drive away. Call (772) 220-1200 with any question, before or after the install. Booking before hurricane season leaves time for the permit and product order.
Should I choose impact windows or roll-down shutters?
It depends on how you live in the house. Impact windows and doors protect the home all the time, with nothing to close before a storm. Roll-down shutters give a fully closed barrier and suit owners who travel or leave for part of the year.
Impact glass also cuts outside noise and blocks much of the sun’s UV, and it keeps the view open every day. Roll-down shutters live in a box above the opening and come down by motor at the push of a button. They add security when the house is empty.
Many Tequesta homeowners use both. Impact glass goes on the openings they use every day, and roll-downs or accordion shutters cover large openings or the side of the house that takes the most weather. We quote opening by opening so you can compare.

Hurricane protection in Tequesta: questions
Who installs hurricane shutters in Tequesta?
Advanced Hurricane Protection installs hurricane shutters in Tequesta. We are a family-owned company based in Stuart, a short drive north, and have served the Treasure Coast for over 20 years. We install roll-down and accordion shutters, MagnaTrack motorized screens, and impact windows and doors. Call (772) 220-1200 for a free in-home estimate.
Do I need a permit for hurricane shutters in Palm Beach County?
Usually, yes. Most hurricane protection installs in Florida need a permit and inspections. Our team handles the permitting process and coordinates the inspections. In Tequesta, we start that paperwork early, alongside the product order, so it does not hold up the install. Booking before hurricane season leaves the most room for both, which matters when everyone on the river wants work done at once.
Will a motorized screen block my view of the river?
No. When raised, a motorized screen rolls into a slim housing at the top of the opening and is nearly out of sight. When lowered, most screen fabrics still let you see out while cutting sun and glare. At the estimate, we talk through fabric openness so you can choose how much view and shade you want.
Do impact windows help with noise and heat?
Yes. Impact windows use thick laminated glass that cuts outside noise from boats, traffic and weather. The glass also blocks much of the sun’s UV, which helps protect floors and furniture from fading. Those everyday benefits are a big reason many homeowners choose impact glass over shutters alone.
Can you install hurricane protection on a home with a dock and pool?
Yes. Waterfront homes with docks and pools often have wide openings toward the water, covered lanais and sliding doors. We look at each one and may suggest impact sliding doors, motorized screens on the lanai, or roll-down shutters on the openings that take the most wind. Every product is Florida Building Code approved.
