Impact Doors in Stuart, FL
Hurricane-rated impact doors installed by a licensed Florida contractor and built around the wind mitigation insurance savings Stuart homeowners are entitled to. Free in-home inspection, full permitting, and complete insurance documentation.
Built by a Florida Insurance Adjuster
Ballistic was founded by a former Florida insurance adjuster who spent years walking storm-damaged Martin County homes and seeing the same problem on every other claim: impact doors were either installed wrong or missing the documentation needed to unlock the homeowner's wind mitigation discount.
We started Ballistic to fix both. Every installation is code-compliant and inspector-ready. Every project closes with the OIR-B1-1802 wind mitigation form completed and ready to file. Our team includes a licensed Florida general contractor (CBC1266857), former window industry professionals, and the adjusting expertise that makes sure your insurer applies every credit you qualify for.
We are not a claims-assistance service and we are not adversarial with insurers. Our angle is simpler: install the right product, do it correctly, document it properly, and your premium drops permanently.
Why Stuart Homeowners Need Impact Doors
Stuart sits in one of the highest-risk hurricane zones on the U.S. mainland. Hurricane Frances and Jeanne both made landfall in this area in September 2004 are recent reminders that this region's exposure is not theoretical. Florida insurers price that risk into every premium, and rates have climbed steadily for homes without impact-rated impact doors.
The Florida Building Code requires that all new and replacement impact doors meet design pressure ratings for wind load. In high-velocity hurricane zones (HVHZ), Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approval is typically required. Our ES Windows products are certified to these standards — and Ballistic provides the wind-load engineering documentation directly to your Stuart building inspector.
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.
Insurance Savings + My Safe Florida Home Grant
Wind Mitigation Discount
Florida insurers offer mandatory wind mitigation credits when impact doors are impact-rated and the homeowner files the OIR-B1-1802 wind mitigation inspection form. Stuart homeowners typically see homeowners insurance drop by:
We file your OIR-B1-1802 form as part of the project. The credit begins as soon as your insurer processes it — typically your next renewal.
My Safe Florida Home Grant
The state of Florida matches $2 for every $1 you spend on qualifying hurricane improvements, up to $10,000 per home. Most owner-occupied single-family homes in Martin County valued under $700K are eligible.
We've helped Stuart customers stack the MSFH grant with PACE financing and wind-mitigation insurance discounts to cut effective project cost dramatically. Bring your address and we'll check eligibility on the spot.
Check My Safe FL Home Eligibility →Our Impact Doors Lineup
Ballistic installs ES Windows impact doors — Florida Product Approval certified, Miami-Dade NOA where required, and tested to the highest design pressure ratings in the U.S. building code.
Code-compliant storm protection
Our impact doors are Florida Product Approval certified, including Miami-Dade NOA where required. They withstand large-missile impact and the cyclical pressure of hurricane-force wind without shutters or panels.
Insurance savings for full-home protection
Florida insurers offer larger wind mitigation discounts when ALL openings (windows + doors) are impact-rated. Stuart homeowners often see savings rise by another 150+ per month when impact doors are added to an impact-window project. We document everything for the OIR-B1-1802 form.
Daily security upgrade
Impact doors with multi-point locking and laminated glass are vastly harder to force open than standard doors. The same construction that stops storm debris also stops a kick-in or pry attack.
Energy + noise + UV control
Laminated impact glass blocks 99% of UV rays and dramatically reduces outside noise — meaningful in Stuart where Atlantic-side properties get road, surf, and equipment noise. AC bills typically drop alongside the upgrade.
Impact Doors Cost in Stuart
Impact entry doors in Stuart typically run $3,500 to $6,500 installed. Impact sliding glass doors run $5,000 to $12,000 depending on panel count and size. French doors fall between those ranges. Multi-panel sliders (OXXO, three or four panels) can exceed $15,000. We provide an exact written quote after a free in-home measurement.
What drives cost: window or door size, frame configuration, glass type (clear vs. tinted, low-E coatings), color and finish, custom shapes, and whether the existing opening needs modification. We provide an itemized written quote — never a rough verbal estimate. The quote is good for 30 days and there is no obligation to buy.

Impact Doors FAQs — Stuart, FL
How much do impact doors cost in Stuart?+
Impact entry doors in Stuart typically run $3,500 to $6,500 installed. Impact sliding glass doors run $5,000 to $12,000 depending on panel count and size. French doors fall between those ranges. Multi-panel sliders (OXXO, three or four panels) can exceed $15,000. We provide an exact written quote after a free in-home measurement.
Do I need impact doors AND impact windows for the insurance discount?+
For the largest wind-mitigation premium reduction, all glazed openings (windows AND doors) need to be impact-rated. Stuart homeowners with only impact windows still get a credit, but it's substantially smaller than the full-opening-protection credit. If budget allows, replacing windows and doors together usually returns more in insurance savings over five years than the difference in cost.
Can I use the My Safe Florida Home grant for impact doors?+
Yes. Exterior impact-rated doors are an eligible MSFH grant improvement, alongside impact windows and roof tie-down upgrades. The state matches $2 for every $1 you spend, up to $10,000 total per home. We routinely combine impact doors with windows under a single MSFH application.
Do you handle permits for impact doors in Stuart?+
Yes — every door installation is permitted through Martin County Building Department (with City of Stuart review for city addresses) with wind-load engineering provided to the inspector. Sewall's Point and Sailfish Point properties require Martin County coastal review and HOA approval. We handle both alongside the building permit.
How long does it take to install impact doors in Stuart?+
A single impact entry door installs in 4 to 6 hours. A multi-panel sliding glass door is usually a one-day install. Lead time from order to install runs 4 to 10 weeks depending on whether the unit is in stock or custom-built. We provide a written schedule before the project starts.
Do you sell impact sliding glass doors in Stuart?+
Yes — impact sliding glass doors are one of our most-installed products. We carry two-, three-, and four-panel configurations (XO, OXO, OXXO) up to 12 feet tall in standard sizes, with custom heights and finishes available. Configurations are Florida Product Approval certified and pull permits without issue.
What warranty comes with the impact doors?+
Frames carry a lifetime warranty; glass insulating seals carry a 10-year warranty. Ballistic Window and Door backs the installation with a 5-year workmanship warranty. All warranty service runs through us, not the manufacturer.
Can impact doors replace my hurricane shutters?+
Yes — that's a primary reason customers install them. With impact doors and windows, you no longer need to deploy shutters before a storm. The protection is always-on. Many Stuart customers tell us the peace-of-mind of not needing to put up shutters before evacuating is worth the upgrade by itself.
