AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Hollywood
Impact windows and doors in Hollywood are not optional upgrades. Every home in this city sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means the county will not issue a permit unless every unit carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. That is the rule in 33019, 33020, 33021, and every other Hollywood ZIP. We have worked this market long enough to know which products pass inspection the first time and which ones get red-tagged. If you’re pricing out replacement windows or doors for a Hollywood home, call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home measure and a written quote.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 around one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs how our crews work in Hollywood, from the 1950s CBS ranches east of I-95 to the mid-rise condos along the A1A corridor. We do not send out subcontractors who have never pulled a Hollywood permit. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before quoting manufacturer lines side by side on paper.
Hollywood homeowners tend to ask sharper questions than most, and they have reason to. They have seen neighbors get hit with insurance non-renewal notices over non-impact glazing. They have watched contractors quote unapproved units in 33020 and then disappear when the rough inspection fails. Our local reputation is built on the opposite approach: we quote HVHZ-compliant product from the first conversation, register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and stand behind the work for 90 days under the Done Right Promise.
We answer the phone with a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no regional call center. When a Hollywood customer calls, they get someone who knows the difference between a 1962 jalousie replacement on Johnson Street and a condo sliding door audit on Hollywood Beach.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Hollywood
Impact-Resistant Windows
For most Hollywood homes, impact-resistant windows are the single largest insurance-driven upgrade you can make. The laminated glass interlayer holds even when wind-driven debris strikes, and the frame is engineered to meet the design pressure your specific opening requires. On a 1963 CBS ranch off Johnson Street in the 33021 grid, our crew pulled a full row of original jalousie windows that had been leaking salt-laden air for decades and replaced them with PGT double-hung impact units sized to HVHZ design pressure. The inspection passed on the first visit.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Hurricane impact windows in Hollywood are tested to different standards than anywhere else in the country. A window that meets Florida Product Approval for Miami-Dade carries large-missile and cyclic-pressure ratings your opening must satisfy before the city will sign off. We quote only tested, approved product, and we state the approval number and design pressure on every written estimate. If a window cannot meet the pressure for its floor height and exposure, we will not bid it. That is not a sales tactic. It is compliance.
Single Hung Impact Windows
Single-hung impact windows remain a common choice on Hollywood’s older CBS ranch stock because they match the original sightlines while giving you a modern, thermally broken frame. The bottom sash moves; the top sash stays fixed. Simple, fewer moving parts, lower cost than double-hung. For bedrooms and street-facing front windows, they meet egress and HVHZ requirements when configured correctly.
Double Hung Impact Windows
Double-hung impact windows let both sashes tilt in for cleaning, which matters on Hollywood Beach condos where exterior access is limited above the third floor. They also ventilate well on nights when the onshore breeze is enough that you do not want the AC running. We install double-hung impact units from PGT, Andersen, and other approved lines, and we match frame finishes to withstand the salt spray that eats standard aluminum within five to seven years in 33019.
Beyond these, our Impact Windows & Doors team also handles horizontal roller and sliding impact windows, vinyl impact windows, and full wind mitigation and HVHZ code compliance work across Hollywood. Call (888) 635-0804 to schedule a free measure.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames on the barrier island. Homes in 33019 and east-of-I-95 blocks get persistent onshore salt spray that pits standard aluminum frames and seizes screen tracks and door hardware in as little as five years. Marine-grade anodized or painted finishes are not optional near the water.
- Jalousie windows that cannot be retrofitted. A notable share of 1950s and 60s CBS homes in 33020 and 33021 still have original louvered jalousie glass. These cannot accept impact glazing, period. They must be removed and replaced with approved impact units, and the opening usually needs reframing, which changes the scope and the price.
- Unapproved product quoted east of 33026. We regularly follow behind contractors who quoted standard non-impact windows on Hollywood homes, certain the city would not check NOA paperwork. Hollywood checks. The rough inspection gets red-tagged, the homeowner is stuck holding product that cannot pass, and the fix costs more than doing it right the first time.
- Sliding glass doors skipped during window replacement. On older CBS homes, replacing every window but leaving one original sliding glass door unprotected nullifies wind-mitigation credits and leaves the house non-compliant. The big opening is the one that matters most in a storm, and the wind-mitigation inspector will flag it.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL
Impact window replacement in Hollywood typically runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard-size openings. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, including many sliding glass door replacements on Hollywood Beach condos, run $2,500 to $5,000 per opening. A whole-home package in a typical 1,400 to 1,800 square foot CBS ranch generally lands between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on opening count, frame material, and exposure.
What moves the price in Hollywood: opening count, floor height above grade, wind zone design pressure, whether the opening needs reframing (most jalousie conversions do), and frame finish. Marine-grade finishes cost more up front and last years longer near the water. Every quote is a written line-item price, and we do not add change orders after the job starts. Call (888) 635-0804 to schedule a free in-home measure.
What Impact Windows & Doors Costs in Hollywood
For planning purposes, most Hollywood homeowners replacing original jalousie or thin aluminum single-pane windows will land in the $800 to $1,500 per opening range for impact-resistant product, installed. Single-hung impact windows typically run $900 to $1,800 per opening. Large openings like sliding glass doors or custom picture windows run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages fall between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on how many openings, whether reframing is needed, and how close the structure sits to the ocean.
The four biggest price drivers in Hollywood are opening count, design pressure requirement by floor height and exposure, frame material and finish, and whether any opening needs structural reframing. Jalousie-to-impact conversions generally need reframing, which adds labor and material per opening. Beachfront and barrier-island work demands marine-grade finishes to survive the salt. We measure every opening, show you side-by-side manufacturer quotes on paper, and hold the written price. Schedule a free estimate at (888) 635-0804.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida has real incentives on the table for Hollywood homeowners making the switch to impact windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Hollywood properties inside the HVHZ typically qualify when the work includes approved impact glazing. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can cover 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year.
Beyond those programs, windstorm premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. The inspection itself runs $75 to $150 in Broward County. Program rules and carrier numbers are set by the state and your insurer, so we will not quote a savings figure we cannot put in writing. We will point you to the programs, do the work to their standards, and provide the documentation your inspector needs.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Yes. Every window replacement in Hollywood requires a permit, and because the entire city sits inside Broward’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, every impact unit must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval before that permit is issued. Jalousie conversions east of I-95 almost always require reframing, which also has to be inspected. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and do not start trim-out until the rough inspection passes. Call (888) 635-0804 and we will walk your specific opening through the process.
Hollywood Beach sits in the HVHZ’s most exposed wind zone, where design pressures account for 170-plus mph exposure and wind-borne debris size is larger than what inland buildings face. Large-missile rated glass is tested against heavier projectiles and is mandated for most openings in 33019 and the A1A corridor. Small-missile product will not pass the building department and will not satisfy the 2022 milestone-inspection requirements your board is now legally obligated to meet. If your board has questions about what rating a specific opening needs, call us and we will bring the approval documents.
In most cases, yes, for the windstorm portion of the premium. After a wind-mitigation inspection (about $75 to $150 in Broward), many Hollywood homeowners see around a 25% credit on the windstorm line once all openings are impact-rated and documented. The inspection goes nowhere unless every glazed opening meets current design pressure, which is why skipping the sliding glass door on an older CBS home kills the credit. We install to the standard your inspector will verify, and we hand you the paperwork.
Check the manufacturer’s label on the frame and match the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA number to the design pressure required for your floor height and distance from the coast. If the label is gone, or if the unit predates the current code, it likely fails. Hollywood Beach condos built in the early 1970s often have original sliding assemblies that were never code-compliant to today’s standard. We can inspect your unit, pull the approval documentation, and quote replacement if it cannot pass.
Almost never in Hollywood. Jalousie frames cannot accept impact glazing at all. Older thin aluminum single-pane frames were not designed to carry laminated impact glass or meet current design pressure, and they fail inspection if retrofitted. Within a mile of the beach, the frames are also typically salt-pitted and past service life. The honest answer is replacement, and it usually costs less than a failed retrofit plus a red-tagged inspection. Call (888) 635-0804 for a straight read on your specific openings.
Hollywood’s HVHZ Rules Change the Whole Conversation
Here is what a generic hurricane window page will not tell you: Hollywood sits entirely inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That means every impact window or door installed here must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval before a permit is issued, with no exceptions, even on inland ZIP codes like 33024 or 33026. This is not a Fort Lauderdale or Miramar rule. Hollywood’s city limit places every single home under the strictest window and door product-approval standard in the United States.
That reality, combined with a dense stock of 1950s to 1970s CBS homes and aging beachfront condos that still have original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows, drives Hollywood’s replacement market harder than anywhere else in Broward. Insurance carriers are non-renewing policies on non-impact-glazed homes here at a rate we did not see even a decade ago. The 2022 condo milestone-inspection law, passed after the Champlain Towers collapse just south of the Hollywood border, is forcing condo boards along the A1A corridor to audit and replace decades-old sliding glass doors that were never code-compliant. That creates concentrated multi-unit contracts, and it means product choice is a compliance decision before it is a performance preference.
Take jalousie windows. A meaningful share of the CBS-grid neighborhoods east of I-95, in 33020 and 33021, still have original louvered jalousie glass. Those cannot be retrofitted for impact resistance, full stop. They must be removed, the opening reframed, and an approved impact unit installed. Any contractor who tells you otherwise is either unfamiliar with the product-approval rules or willing to let you find out at rough inspection. We will not do that to a Hollywood homeowner.
Salt exposure is the second Hollywood-specific factor. The Atlantic-facing barrier island and prevailing onshore winds deliver persistent salt spray that corrodes standard aluminum frames, screen tracks, and door hardware, often within five to seven years. In 33019, the failure is measurably faster than even a mile inland. Marine-grade anodized or painted finishes are not a premium upsell here; they are the difference between a frame that lasts twenty years and one that pits in five. We specify finishes for the address, not the price sheet.
If you are comparing impact windows against hurricane shutters, here is the practical difference for a Hollywood homeowner: shutters only protect when someone is home, awake, and willing to haul panels across every opening in rising wind. Impact windows are always in place, permanently installed, and qualify for the same wind-mitigation credits. They also stop the first impact, not just the follow-on water. For a homeowner staying in Hollywood for the long haul, installed impact glazing is the permanent answer. Shutters are for the house you are renting out and hoping for the best.
