Wind protection is the upgrade Florida insurance actually rewards — and this page tracks every marketable listing across St. Johns, Duval, and Nassau counties whose MLS entry reports impact windows or storm shutters. This site already shows every home’s flood and evacuation zone on its listing page; this is the wind side of the same honesty.

This market, from the inside

The paperwork matters as much as the glass: insurers grant wind-mitigation credits based on an inspection report, not a listing checkbox — opening protection, roof shape, and roof-to-wall attachment all score. On any home here, ask for the wind-mitigation report or budget the ~$150 to get one; it routinely pays for itself in the first year.

Frequently asked questions

How much do impact windows save on insurance?

Florida law requires insurers to offer wind-mitigation credits, and full opening protection is one of the largest line items on the credit schedule — savings vary by carrier and home, commonly a meaningful percentage of the wind premium. The credit follows the inspection report, so verified protection on an existing home is worth real money every year you own it.

Do impact windows replace shutters?

Functionally yes for protection and credits — rated impact glass counts as opening protection without any storm-day labor, which is why it’s become the default in new coastal construction. Shutters (panel, accordion, roll-down) protect equally well when deployed but require someone to deploy them; both appear on this page, and the listing details say which a home has.

I’ll send new listings the moment they hit the market and walk through the details that don’t show up in the MLS — water access, HOA rules, what a feature really costs to maintain.
