Licensed & Insured — FL CBC1266857
The Waterford Lakes and Alafaya areas of Orlando are home to thousands of properties that still have single-pane windows. Every one of those homes is paying an insurance surcharge that could be eliminated with impact-rated windows and doors. The savings typically range from $100 to $300 per month.
Why Orlando Homeowners Are Upgrading to Impact Windows
Orlando sits squarely in Florida's hurricane corridor. While Central Florida doesn't face the same direct coastal exposure as Miami or Fort Myers, the metro area has been hit by major storms multiple times — and insurance companies haven't forgotten. Many Orlando homeowners are now receiving notices from their insurers requiring impact-rated windows or shutters as a condition of continued coverage.
The financial case is just as strong. Orlando homeowners who upgrade to impact windows typically see their homeowners insurance premiums drop significantly, often $100 to $200 per month or more once the wind mitigation discount kicks in. That's money back in your pocket every single month.
Ballistic Window and Door's team includes professionals from the window industry, general contracting, and insurance adjusting. We've helped hundreds of Central Florida homeowners navigate the process — from the first estimate to the final wind mitigation inspection that unlocks your insurance savings. We handle every permit and inspection so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Orlando Homeowners Are Overpaying on Insurance
If your Orlando home still has standard windows, your insurer is charging you a wind mitigation surcharge every single month. Most homeowners don't even realize it's there — it's just baked into your premium.
When you upgrade to impact windows, your insurer reclassifies your home's wind resistance. After a wind mitigation inspection confirms the installation, your premium drops. Orlando homeowners typically save $100 to $200 per month.
Our team includes a former insurance adjuster who knows exactly what documentation inspectors need. We don't just install windows — we make sure you capture every dollar of savings available to you.
Frequently Asked Questions — Orlando, FL
What impact window brands do you install in Orlando?+
We install premium impact window brands that carry full Florida Product Approval and Miami-Dade NOA certification. During your free in-home inspection, we'll recommend the best product for your home's specific needs, window sizes, and budget. Every brand we carry meets the highest testing standards in the industry.
How long does the installation take?+
Most single-family homes with 10 to 20 windows are completed in one to three days. The permitting process adds one to two weeks before installation begins, but we handle all of that for you.

You can do a partial installation. Many Orlando homeowners start with the most vulnerable openings — large picture windows, sliding glass doors, and windows facing the prevailing wind direction. However, the full wind mitigation insurance discount typically requires all openings to be impact-rated.
Do you handle HOA requirements for impact windows?+
Yes. We work with HOAs across Orange County regularly. Impact windows come in many styles, colors, and frame finishes. We help you select products that satisfy both your HOA's architectural standards and Florida Building Code.
