If you live in Sewall's Point, Stuart Beach, or anywhere in the 34996 area of Stuart, your insurer is almost certainly charging you extra because your windows aren't impact-rated. That surcharge is built into your premium every single month — and it adds up fast.
Martin County Insurance Premiums Are Higher Than They Need to Be
Martin County's Atlantic exposure and direct hurricane history mean insurance companies classify many Stuart, Hobe Sound, and Jupiter Island homes as high wind risk. If your home doesn't have impact-rated windows, you're paying a surcharge for that classification every month.
Impact windows are the most direct way to lower that surcharge. After installation and a wind mitigation inspection, most Martin County homeowners see savings of $150 to $300 per month on their insurance. Jupiter Island, Sewall's Point, and other Atlantic-facing properties often see substantially more because the more your home pays now, the bigger your savings will be.
See How Much You Could SaveShutters vs. Impact Windows — Why Martin County Homeowners Are Making the Switch
Martin County took the eye of Hurricane Frances in September 2004, followed three weeks later by Hurricane Jeanne. If you lived through that, you know what shutter deployment looks like during back-to-back storms. And if you still rely on hurricane shutters, you know the drill: a storm enters the Atlantic basin, you spend hours in the heat installing panels or rolling down accordions, and then you spend hours taking them down afterward. If you're out of town when a storm approaches, your home sits unprotected.
Impact windows eliminate that entirely. They provide hurricane-rated protection 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — no deployment, no storage, no physical labor. Your home is protected whether you're home, at work, or up north for the summer.
And here's what most Martin County homeowners don't realize: insurance companies give a bigger discount for impact windows than they do for shutters. Shutters are considered "active" protection because they have to be deployed. Impact windows are "passive" — they're always on — and insurers reward that reliability with a larger wind mitigation credit.
The bottom line: impact windows give you better protection, bigger insurance savings, and zero seasonal labor. For most Stuart, Hobe Sound, and Jensen Beach homeowners, the math isn't even close.
Why Martin County Homeowners Choose Impact Windows
Stuart, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, and the rest of Martin County sit on what storm trackers call "Hurricane Alley." Frances and Jeanne both made landfall in this area in September 2004 — within three weeks of each other — and the damage reshaped the region's approach to building. Today, Martin County homeowners face some of the highest wind insurance premiums on the Treasure Coast, and impact windows are the most effective way to bring those premiums down.
After installing impact windows and completing a wind mitigation inspection, Martin County homeowners typically see their premiums drop by $150 to $300 per month. Jupiter Island, Sewall's Point, and Atlantic-facing barrier island properties often see significantly more because their baseline premiums are among the highest in the state.
