A family legacy of protection at Florida Shutters

For more than 45 years, Florida Shutters Inc. has remained a cornerstone of hurricane protection in Vero Beach, combining time-tested craftsmanship with a forward-thinking approach to design and safety. Founded in 1979 by Tom Pease, the company continues to thrive as a second-generation, family-owned and operated business under the leadership of his son, Thomas L. Pease Jr., known as Tommy.

Having worked in nearly every aspect of the business — from engineering and measuring to sales and leadership — Tommy brings a comprehensive understanding of both the product and the people behind it. That hands-on experience shapes the company’s culture today, where quality, attention to detail and respect for employees remain central values passed down from his father.

What sets Florida Shutters apart is its in-house manufacturing facility located right in Vero Beach. With most products fabricated locally, the company maintains exceptional quality control while offering highly customized solutions tailored to each home or business. This local production capability also allows Florida Shutters to respond quickly to customer needs — an especially critical advantage during storm season.

The company offers a wide range of hurricane protection products, including colonials, Bahamas, accordion shutters, rolling shutters, panels [metal and clear] and Armor Screen systems. Beyond storm protection, Florida Shutters has expanded its offerings to include custom gates, handrails, pergolas, trellises and outdoor enclosures, along with newly added Renson products — reflecting its commitment to evolving with customer demand.

Equally important is the company’s focus on aesthetics. Florida Shutters believes safety and style should go hand in hand, helping homeowners protect their properties without compromising curb appeal.

Today, Tommy Pease continues to build on his family’s legacy with pride, ensuring that Florida Shutters not only protects homes but also strengthens the community it has served for generations.
