AfterTrusted Impact Windows & Doors for Stuart Homeowners
Hurricane Impact Windows and doors in Stuart, FL typically run $900-$2,800 per opening installed, depending on the product line, size, and whether the existing frame needs full replacement. Most full-home projects take 3-7 days once materials arrive. TruePane Windows & Doors has served Martin County homeowners since 2008, and we put every warranty layer in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
If you’re reading this, you’ve likely watched a neighbor’s house get torn up by a storm, or you’ve had a contractor promise impact-rated glass and deliver something that fogs up within two seasons. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means plumb, square, sealed, and rated. Call (754) 324-4646 and a live person answers, day or night.
What Our Impact Windows & Doors Service Includes
Hurricane Impact Windows
Impact windows use laminated glass and reinforced frames to withstand wind-borne debris without shattering. In Stuart, where a Category 3 hurricane can push a 2×4 through standard annealed glass at 80 mph, the difference between impact and non-impact is the difference between a broken window and a protected living room. We measure every opening twice, install to the manufacturer’s published load ratings, and register both warranty layers in writing.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors are the largest opening in most Florida homes, and the most common point of wind and water intrusion during a storm. An impact-rated sliding door from PGT or CGI carries a design pressure rating that a standard patio door simply does not have. TruePane installs these doors to sit square in the track so they glide without binding in July humidity and seal tight when the wind picks up.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Impact Entry & French Doors need impact-rated glass and reinforced frames to perform as a system, not just as individual components. We often replace doors in Stuart homes where the original installer hung a heavy impact door on a frame rated for a standard slab, and the hinges sagged within two years. Our crews check the rough opening, the header, and the threshold before any door goes in.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest single opening on most houses, and a non-rated door that buckles under wind pressure lets the storm inside, often lifting the roof from within. Impact Garage Doors are built with heavier gauge steel, reinforced tracks, and bracing systems that meet Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code requirements. TruePane installs and services these doors for homeowners who take wind mitigation seriously.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
Not every Stuart homeowner wants to replace all their windows, and Hurricane Shutters & Protection like accordion, roll-down, and storm panel systems remain a code-compliant alternative. We install and service the major shutter systems, and we’ll tell you straight if a shutter is the right call for your home or a bandage on windows that need replacement anyway. Either way, you get a written quote with no surprise line items.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
Stuart sits in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Martin County enforces Florida Building Code wind-load requirements on new construction and major remodels. We help homeowners navigate wind mitigation inspections, correct deficiencies that insurers flag, and document every upgrade so your insurance carrier sees the discounts you’ve earned. If a home inspector flags your openings after a four-point inspection, we can often fix the problem in a single visit.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows & Doors
TruePane is an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, two of the most specified impact-rated product lines in Florida. PGT’s WinGuard series is heavily installed along the Treasure Coast, and we’ve serviced hundreds of those units, including warranty work that other contractors won’t touch. CGI’s Sentinel and Estate lines carry some of the highest design pressure ratings available, and we quote them side by side with PGT so you can see the price and the rating on the same sheet of paper.
We also regularly service Ply Gem impact products for homeowners who bought through a builder and need repair, glass replacement, or hardware work years later. Our glaziers stock OEM parts for these lines or can source them fast, because waiting three weeks for a sash balances is not how a window company should operate. Whether you have PGT, CGI, Ply Gem, or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need Impact Windows & Doors Right Now
- Your windows fog between the panes. A failed seal means the insulating gas has escaped and the window’s thermal and impact performance is compromised. In Stuart’s humidity, that fog turns to permanent mineral staining inside the glass pack, and no cleaning fixes it.
- Your doors bind or stick in summer. Wood and vinyl frames swell in Florida heat, but a properly installed impact door keeps its clearance year-round. If you’re throwing a shoulder into your sliding door every July, the frame or the install is out of true.
- Your insurance company flagged your openings. Carriers in Martin County increasingly require wind mitigation documentation, and a four-point inspection that lists non-impact openings can cost you thousands in premiums or get you dropped. Impact-rated windows and doors are a documented upgrade that insurers quantify.
- Your windows are original to a home built before 2002. Florida adopted stronger wind-load codes after Hurricane Andrew, and most pre-2002 windows in Stuart do not meet current impact standards. Replacing them is not a cosmetic project; it’s structural.
- You can hear the wind through closed windows. If your windows whistle in a stiff breeze, the weatherstripping, the frame, or both are failing. That air path is exactly where wind-driven rain will find its way in during a tropical storm.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. A live person answers (754) 324-4646 any hour, any day. We ask about the age of your home, the current window and door types, and what you’re trying to solve. No voicemail tree, no call center.
- 2
In-home measurement and inspection. A background-checked, uniformed TruePane technician comes to your Stuart home and measures every opening twice, with a laser and a tape. We look at the rough opening condition, the header, the sills, and the existing flashing before we quote anything.
- 3
Side-by-side written quote. You get prices for manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with design pressure ratings listed and warranty durations stated in writing. The quote from the first visit is the price you pay. No change orders, no “we found rot so it’s another $4,000” phone call later.
- 4
Installation day. Our crews arrive when we said they would, in uniform, and they work through the job without cutting corners. We protect your floors, we use proper flashing and sealants, and we clean up. Most openings go in same-day, and full-home projects are sequenced so you’re not living in a construction zone longer than necessary.
- 5
Warranty registration and your Done Right Promise. Before the truck leaves your driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing and you have a copy in hand. The Done Right Promise covers our workmanship. If something is not right, we make it right, no paperwork fight.
How Much Does Impact Windows & Doors Cost in Stuart?
Impact window replacement in Stuart typically runs $900-$2,800 per opening installed. A single-entry impact door might run $2,000-$5,000 depending on the door slab, frame, hardware, and whether we’re addressing a compromised rough opening. An impact sliding glass door commonly lands between $3,500 and $8,000 installed. Full-home projects on a 2,000-square-foot Stuart house with 12-15 openings usually fall between $18,000 and $45,000, and the spread reflects product line, frame material, and design pressure ratings.
What moves the price: the manufacturer line you choose (PGT and CGI are both excellent but sit at different price points), the size and configuration of each opening, whether existing frames are salvageable, and the wind-load rating required for your structure’s location in Martin County. What should not move the price: vague “complexity” fees added mid-job. TruePane gives you a fixed quote up front. Our free estimate includes the measurement, the side-by-side brand comparison, and a written price. If the number works for you, we schedule the work. If it doesn’t, you keep the quote and no one hassles you.
One thing we tell every Stuart homeowner: the cheapest impact window quote often hides the lowest design pressure ratings. You might save $200 per opening and end up with windows that would not pass a wind mitigation inspection. Our job is to show you the ratings next to the prices, in writing, so you know exactly what you’re buying. Call (754) 324-4646 for a quote that tells you the truth the first time.

They are tested to design pressure ratings that tell you precisely how much wind load a specific unit can take. In Stuart, they must meet Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade or equivalent standards to be sold as impact-rated.

A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including during a storm watch when you need an opening boarded, a shutter repaired, or a broken pane secured. While we can’t install a full impact system during an active hurricane, we can secure your home quickly and schedule the permanent fix immediately after. Call (754) 324-4646 and you’ll get a person, not a recording.
Every TruePane job includes the manufacturer’s warranty on the product and the glazing, plus our Done Right Promise on workmanship.

If something’s not right within 90 days, we fix it without arguing.
Move furniture and wall hangings at least three feet away from each opening, clear a path from the door to the work area, and let us know where your electrical panel is in case we need to cut power to a wall. Our crews lay drop cloths and clean up at the end of every day. We’ll handle the heavy lifting, but a clear perimeter makes the work safer and faster.
