A Remodeling Contractor Who Installs Impact Windows, Not a Window Company
Most impact window companies do one thing. That works fine until the opening needs to be resized, the stucco needs to be repaired around the new frame, the interior trim has to be rebuilt, or the job turns out to be part of a larger renovation you were already planning. Then you are managing a window installer, a stucco guy, and a trim carpenter, and each one is pointing at the other.
Elite Home Improvements Group holds a Florida general contractor license, so the windows, the openings, the stucco, the trim, and the permits are all ours. If you are already remodeling a kitchen or a bathroom, the impact windows go in during the same project, on the same schedule, under the same contract. If you are not, we still handle the whole opening rather than just the glass in it.
Our Impact Window and Door Services Across St. Lucie, Martin, and Indian River Counties
Every project is scoped to your home, your openings, and your budget, from a few vulnerable windows to a whole home protection package.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Code compliant impact windows in the sizes and configurations your openings actually need, including single hung, horizontal roller, casement, picture, and fixed units. Laminated glass, reinforced frames, and hardware rated for the wind load at your address.
Impact Doors and Sliding Glass Doors
Impact rated entry doors, French doors, and sliding glass doors. Sliders are the biggest openings in most Treasure Coast homes, the most expensive to protect, and the ones that fail first when they are not rated. They are also why partial projects often earn no insurance credit at all.
Condo and HOA Impact Window Projects
Condo buildings and HOA communities require association approval, uniform exterior appearance, and coordinated building access before a single window comes out. We handle that layer, which most window-only companies will not touch. See our condo remodeling page for full condo projects.
How Impact Windows Affect Your Florida Home Insurance
Impact windows can lower the windstorm portion of your Florida homeowners insurance premium, and for many Treasure Coast homeowners that is a meaningful part of the total bill. Florida law requires insurers to offer premium reductions for qualifying wind mitigation features, and impact rated openings are one of the strongest qualifying features there is.
The detail that catches most homeowners off guard: to earn the full opening protection credit, every opening usually has to be protected, not just the windows. That includes entry doors, French doors, sliding glass doors, and in many cases garage doors and skylights. Replacing ten windows and leaving an unrated slider on the lanai often means no credit at all, which is exactly the situation we get called in to fix after someone else did half the job.
After installation, a licensed wind mitigation inspector verifies the work and completes the state inspection form that your insurer uses to apply the credit. Permitted, inspected, and documented work is what makes that possible, and it is a large part of why we do not cut corners on the permit step.
Why Port St. Lucie Homeowners Choose Elite for Impact Windows
We Handle the Whole Opening, Not Just the Glass
Resizing, stucco repair, interior trim, and finish work are all in scope. A window company hands that back to you.
Permits, Inspections, and Insurance Paperwork Included
We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and document the work so your wind mitigation inspection goes smoothly. Unpermitted window work can void coverage.
Verify Our License: CGC1529124
Look us up with the Florida DBPR before you hire us. We encourage it. Impact window work is structural, and the license is not optional for doing it right.
Condo and HOA Projects Welcome
We handle association approvals, building access, and uniform exterior requirements. Most window-only companies will not take these projects on.
Our Impact Window Installation Process
Every Elite Home Improvements impact window project follows the same four steps, from your free in home estimate through the wind mitigation inspection.
1. Free In Home Estimate
We measure every opening, check whether they are square and what is behind the frames, and discuss which openings to protect first if you are phasing the work. You receive a written estimate at no cost.
2. Product Selection and Order
We select windows and doors rated for your address’s wind load and, in a condo, for your association’s exterior requirements. Impact units are made to order, so lead times are real and we build them into the schedule up front.
3. Removal and Slab Prep
We pull the permits with your county or city building department, then install, including any resizing, stucco repair, and interior trim the openings need.
4. Inspection and Wind Mitigation Documentation
The county inspects the permitted work, and we make sure the installation is documented so a wind mitigation inspector can verify it for your insurer. Then we walk the finished job with you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Impact Windows in Port St. Lucie
These are the questions Treasure Coast homeowners ask us most about impact windows and doors. If yours is not covered here, call (772) 666-3459 and we will walk you through it.
Do impact windows lower home insurance in Florida?
Yes, impact windows can lower the windstorm portion of your Florida home insurance premium, and Florida law requires insurers to offer credits for qualifying wind mitigation features. To earn the full opening protection credit, every opening usually has to be protected, including doors, sliders, and often garage doors. A wind mitigation inspection after installation documents the work for your insurer.
How much do impact windows cost in Port St. Lucie, FL?
Impact windows in Port St. Lucie typically cost $800 to $1,500 per opening installed, so a partial project of five to eight windows runs roughly $5,000 to $12,000, and a whole home of twelve to twenty windows runs roughly $12,000 to $30,000. Adding impact doors and sliding glass doors, which cost more per unit, brings whole home projects to $25,000 or higher.
Are impact windows required in Port St. Lucie?
Impact rated windows or approved shutters are required for new construction and for window replacements that require a permit in St. Lucie County, under Florida building code wind load requirements. Port St. Lucie is not in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward, so product approval requirements here are less restrictive than in South Florida.
What is the difference between impact windows and hurricane shutters?
Impact windows are permanently installed laminated glass units that protect your home continuously, with no action required when a storm approaches. Shutters cost less up front but must be deployed before every storm and stored the rest of the year. Impact windows also reduce noise, block UV, and typically earn a stronger insurance credit than most shutter systems.
How long does impact window installation take?
Installation itself usually takes 1 to 3 days for a typical home once the windows arrive. The longer part is lead time: impact windows are made to order and commonly take several weeks to arrive, and permitting adds time before installation can begin. We build both into the written schedule.
Do impact windows require a permit in St. Lucie County?
Yes. Window and door replacement requires a permit with the St. Lucie County or City of Port St. Lucie building department, and the finished work must be inspected. Unpermitted window installation can void your homeowners insurance, fail a wind mitigation inspection, and create problems at resale. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections on every project.
Can you install impact windows in a condo?
Yes. Condo and HOA impact window projects usually require association approval, a uniform exterior appearance across the building, and coordinated access, and we handle that layer. Many window-only companies decline these projects. We manage the association requirements alongside the permits and installation.
