Impact Windows for Palm Beach County Homes
Get quotes from licensed installers serving Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Westlake and the rest of North County.
Why North County homeowners are switching to impact glass
Palm Beach County sits in a high-wind zone, and inland homes in Westlake face the same storm forces as homes in Juno Beach. Impact windows use laminated glass and reinforced frames built to stay in place when wind-borne debris hits them, so your home's openings stay protected without shutters.
Insurance savings come first
Florida insurers price policies partly on a home's wind mitigation features, and protected openings are one of them. Upgrading every opening (windows, doors and garage door) may lower your premium after a new wind mitigation inspection. We can't promise a specific discount, so ask your agent to run the numbers before and after.
What's included in a typical project

- Impact-rated garage doors
- Permits and final inspection, handled by the contractor
Cost
Pricing depends on how many openings you have, their size, frame material (aluminum or vinyl) and glass options. Every home is different, so compare written quotes for the same openings and products. Full cost guide →
A grant may cover part of it
Eligible homeowners may qualify for up to $10,000 in matching funds through the state's My Safe Florida Home program, which starts with a free state-assigned wind mitigation inspection. You must be approved before any work starts. Read the grant guide →
Impact windows vs. shutters
Shutters cost less up front but have to go up before every storm. Impact windows protect you all year and add comfort and noise reduction. Compare them →

FAQ
How long does installation take?
Installers say the on-site work usually takes a few days. Permitting and product lead times usually add several weeks, so plan ahead of storm season.
Do I still need shutters?
Not for openings protected by approved impact products. Your installer can confirm for your home.
Do impact windows need a permit?
Yes. Window and door replacements in Palm Beach County municipalities require a permit, which the contractor pulls.
Will impact windows lower my insurance?
They may. Ask your agent and schedule a wind mitigation inspection after the install.
