Impact windows and doors in Martin County

Martin County sits outside the HVHZ in Florida's Wind-Borne Debris Region, with Risk Category II wind speeds running from 154 mph in Indiantown to 165 mph on Jupiter Island. Every opening requires large- or small-missile impact protection under FBC § 1609.1.2, and our installed windows average $800–$1,800.

Martin County homes

We know Martin County homes

Martin County stretches from the 165 mph Atlantic barrier coast of Jupiter Island across the St. Lucie River peninsulas of Sewall's Point and Stuart out to 154 mph ranches in Indiantown. Five municipalities—Stuart, Jupiter Island, Sewall's Point, Ocean Breeze (1508 NE Jensen Beach Blvd), and Indiantown—run their own building counters, whereas Martin County permits unincorporated Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Port Salerno, North River Shores, and Rio from its Stuart office on SE Ruhnke Street.

We serve Martin County homes from our Fort Lauderdale office. Reach our Martin team at 754-800-4115 to book a no-cost measure and receive a written quote in 24–48 hours.

Impact window and door cost across Martin County

Martin County window installations average $800–$1,800 per opening ($1,100 for a 37 by 63 inch single-hung and $900 for a 37 by 50 inch fixed lite).

Exposure D oceanfront estates on Jupiter Island and Sewall's Point, <=45% VLT sea-turtle glass on Martin's stretch of Hutchinson Island, and wide golf-club window walls in Palm City or Hobe Sound sit near the upper end of the price range.

Frances, Jeanne, and Stuart's 2024 EF1 tornado

In September 2004, Category 2 Frances (Sept 5) and Category 3 Jeanne (Sept 25) both made landfall at the southern tip of Hutchinson Island just three weeks apart, driving prolonged hurricane gusts and estuary surge up the St. Lucie Inlet into Stuart, Sewall's Point, Rio, North River Shores, and Port Salerno.

On October 9, 2024, an EF1 tornado confirmed by the National Weather Service struck Stuart near Witham Field ahead of Hurricane Milton, demonstrating why full-time laminated glass beats bolt-up shutters.

Windows and doors for every Martin County home

Deepwater docks along the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Rio, and North River Shores, golf-club homes in Palm City (Harbour Ridge, Monarch) and Hobe Sound (Loblolly, Medalist), and lagoon or barrier condos in Jensen Beach and Ocean Breeze each need site-specific design pressures and 316 stainless coastal hardware.

We install impact French doors, multi-panel sliders, fiberglass entry doors, and hurricane garage doors. Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Grants and insurance

My Safe Florida Home and your wind-mitigation form

If you qualify for My Safe Florida Home, the state pays $2 for every $1 you pay, up to $10,000, after the program's free wind-mitigation visit (Fla. Stat. §215.5586). How the program works.

Impact windows and doors count as opening protection, Question 9 on the state's wind-mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802. A licensed inspector fills it out after the work, and your insurer sets the discount.

Questions

Martin County impact window questions

Does Martin County fall in the HVHZ?

No—HVHZ rules apply only in Broward and Miami-Dade. Martin County enforces FBC Wind-Borne Debris Region standards at 154–165 mph.

What design wind speed applies to Martin County homes?

Risk Category II wind speeds run 154 mph in inland Indiantown, 160 mph in Palm City, Stuart, Jensen Beach, North River Shores, and Rio, 162 mph in Sewall's Point, Port Salerno, and Ocean Breeze, and 165 mph in Hobe Sound and on Jupiter Island.

Do all Martin County openings need impact protection?

Yes. Because every parcel in the county maps above 140 mph, All of Martin County lies inside the Wind-Borne Debris Region under FBC § 1609.1.2.

Where are sea-turtle tinted windows required in Martin County?

Atlantic-facing and dune-visible homes and condos on Jupiter Island and Martin County's southern portion of Hutchinson Island require <=45% VLT glass for the March 1–October 31 nesting season.

Which building department issues my Martin County permit?

Stuart, Jupiter Island, Sewall's Point, Ocean Breeze (1508 NE Jensen Beach Blvd), and Indiantown run municipal desks; Martin County permits unincorporated Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Port Salerno, North River Shores, and Rio from its Stuart office (900 SE Ruhnke St) in Accela.

What are the Construction Hours rules on Jupiter Island?

Jupiter Island's Construction Hours allow winter work on weekdays 8:30–5:30 while keeping weekends and holidays quiet.

How does the 30-foot missile rule apply on Martin barrier-island condos?

Under FBC Table 1609.1.2, openings up to 30 ft require Large Missile D glass (9-lb 2x4 at 50 ft/sec), while openings above 30 ft on high-rise condo floors may use Small Missile glass.

When is a Notice of Commencement needed in Martin County?

State law requires a notice of commencement over $5,000. We record it with the Martin County Clerk in Stuart.

What do impact doors cost in Martin County?

In Martin County, a single French door runs $2,800–$4,000, a double French door runs $3,800–$7,000, and a 2-panel slider runs $2,500–$3,500.

How do Martin homeowners claim wind-mitigation insurance discounts?

Once your permit receives inspection approval, a wind-mitigation verifier signs Form OIR-B1-1802 so your carrier applies the F.S. § 627.0629 windstorm credit.

Martin County labor warranty terms?

The lifetime labor warranty covers you, the original owner. It doesn't pass to a new owner if you sell.

How fast do I receive a written quote in Martin County?

We measure your property at no cost and deliver an itemized written quote within 24–48 hours.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of ASTM E1996.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test of the same standard.
  • Each unit needs a Florida Product Approval, or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering its size and design pressure.

Frances & Jeanne (2004)How Frances and Jeanne reshaped Martin County glazing

September 2004

September 2004 Dual Eyewalls & Stuart's 2024 EF1 Tornado

  • In September 2004, Category 2 Frances (105 mph on Sept 5) and Category 3 Jeanne (120 mph on Sept 25) both crossed the Martin coast near Stuart and Sewall's Point three weeks apart.
  • Both 2004 storms pushed estuary surge up the St. Lucie Inlet into Stuart, Rio, North River Shores, and Manatee Pocket while driving inland hurricane gusts across Palm City and Indiantown.
  • Twenty years later on October 9, 2024, an NWS-confirmed EF1 tornado touched down in Stuart near Witham Field during Hurricane Milton's outer rainbands.
  • Because every Martin parcel maps at 154 mph or higher, All of Martin County falls inside Florida's Wind-Borne Debris Region.
