Licensed & Insured — FL CBC1266857
If you live in Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, or anywhere in the 33708 area of St. Petersburg, your insurer is almost certainly charging you extra because your windows aren't impact-rated. That surcharge is built into your premium every single month — and it adds up fast.
We Live Here — St. Petersburg Is Our Home
Ballistic Window and Door's office is at 4668 50th Avenue N in St. Petersburg. This isn't a company that flies in from out of state to do hurricane work — we live and work in Pinellas County year-round. When a storm threatens our area, we're protecting the same community our families live in.
St. Petersburg's peninsula geography means homes here are surrounded by water on three sides — Tampa Bay to the west, the Gulf to the southwest, and Boca Ciega Bay to the south. That exposure drives up insurance premiums and makes impact windows one of the smartest investments a Pinellas County homeowner can make.
Because we're local, we know the Pinellas County building department, we know the inspection process, and we know the insurance landscape here better than any outside contractor ever could. That local knowledge means your installation goes smoothly from start to finish.
Why St. Petersburg Homeowners Are Investing in Impact Windows
St. Petersburg's peninsula location makes it one of the most wind-exposed cities in the Tampa Bay area. Surrounded by water on three sides, St. Pete homeowners face elevated storm surge and wind risk every hurricane season — and their insurance premiums reflect that reality. Many homeowners in Pinellas County are paying wind mitigation surcharges every single month because their homes still have standard windows.
Impact windows eliminate that surcharge. St. Pete homeowners who upgrade typically see their insurance premiums drop by $100 to $200 per month or more after a wind mitigation inspection confirms the upgrade. Over five to ten years, the insurance savings alone often cover a significant portion of the installation cost.
As a St. Petersburg-based company, Ballistic Window and Door knows Pinellas County inside and out. We're licensed, we pull every permit, and we have a former insurance adjuster on our team who makes sure your wind mitigation inspection goes smoothly and you capture every dollar of savings available to you.

See How Much You Could SaveFrequently Asked Questions — St. Petersburg, FL
What does a wind mitigation inspection involve?+
A wind mitigation inspection is a standardized assessment of your home's hurricane resistance features. A certified inspector evaluates your roof, windows, doors, and attachments using a state-approved form. Impact windows earn your home the highest possible credits on this form, which directly translates to insurance savings.
What happens if an impact window breaks during a storm?+
Impact windows are designed not to shatter. The laminated interlayer holds the glass together even after a direct hit from flying debris. The window may crack, but it stays in the frame and maintains your home's envelope — which is what prevents the catastrophic pressure buildup that blows off roofs.
How do impact windows compare to hurricane shutters?+
Hurricane shutters must be manually deployed before each storm and removed afterward. Impact windows provide permanent, always-on protection with no seasonal labor. They also provide year-round benefits including noise reduction, energy savings, and UV protection. Most Florida insurers offer a bigger discount for impact windows than for shutters.
Do impact windows reduce energy bills in St. Petersburg?+
Yes, significantly. Impact windows provide far better insulation than standard single-pane windows. St. Petersburg homeowners typically see a 10 to 25 percent reduction in cooling costs because impact glass blocks more heat transfer and UV radiation. This is on top of your insurance savings.
Do you work on condos and townhomes in St. Petersburg?+
Yes. We work with individual condo owners and HOA boards throughout Pinellas County. For condos, we coordinate with your association's architectural review process and ensure all products meet both Florida Building Code and your HOA's requirements.
Do I need a permit for impact windows in Pinellas County?+
Yes. Florida law requires a building permit for all impact window and door installations. We handle the entire permitting process with Pinellas County — application, documentation, and scheduling the final building inspection. You don't visit any office or fill out any forms.
What is the warranty on your impact windows?+
Impact windows come with both a manufacturer warranty (covering the product itself) and our workmanship warranty (covering the installation). Specific terms vary by product line — we go over all warranty details during your consultation.
What about homes on the St. Pete beaches?+
Beach properties in Pinellas County — including St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, and Madeira Beach — are in the highest wind speed zones under the Florida Building Code. We specify products with the design pressure ratings required for these coastal exposures. Many beach homeowners also see the largest insurance savings because their baseline premiums are the highest.
