Fast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Hollywood

If you’re looking at a sliding door that sticks, leaks, or won’t lock anymore, here’s the short version: in Hollywood, FL, a sliding door replacement typically runs $1,400-$4,200 installed for impact-rated units, and the work is usually done in a single day once your door arrives. The longer answer involves Hollywood’s building code, your insurance company, and a few things about salt air that most homeowners don’t find out until inspection day.

Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane First

TruePane Windows & Doors was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the standard he set still governs every job we take in Hollywood: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That matters in a city where building inspectors enforce the Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code to the letter, and where a door that passes in Weston will fail here. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying before you sign anything. We register both warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. And we answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail tree or a callback form.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors team has worked the grid east of I-95, the beach condos along A1A, and the newer developments west toward 33029 and 33084. Hollywood customers tend to ask the same two questions: will this pass inspection, and will my insurance carrier accept it. We give them straight answers. No fine print that covers neither.

Sliding & Patio Doors Services We Handle in Hollywood

Patio Doors

A patio door in Hollywood is not a decorative choice. It’s the largest single opening in most CBS ranch homes and the first thing wind-driven rain finds during a storm. We install new hinged and sliding patio doors sized to the existing opening where possible, which avoids cutting concrete block and keeps the job on budget. For older Hollywood homes with original aluminum frames, we check the jamb condition before quoting so you don’t get a surprise change order after the old unit comes out.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Any impact sliding glass door we install in Hollywood carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. That’s not optional here, it’s the law. We specify laminated glass interlayers matched to the design pressure for your specific lot: exposure-C on the barrier island in 33019 is a different calculation than an interior lot west of I-95. The goal is a door that passes inspection the first time and keeps its certification long after the permit is closed.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement

When a Hollywood sliding door reaches the point where the rollers are chewed, the track is corroded, and the latch won’t hold, replacement usually costs less than repeated repairs. Our crews replace the entire assembly, including new frame, rollers, and weatherstripping. On a 1962 CBS ranch off Harding Street in the 33020 grid, we pulled a corroded aluminum unit and installed a PGT 6500 impact slider sized to the existing opening, avoiding re-framing in the block wall entirely. The homeowner’s insurance carrier had threatened non-renewal, and the wind-mitigation credit made the replacement pencil out.

Impact French Patio Doors

French patio doors give you a wider clear opening, but in Hollywood they need reinforcement that standard French doors simply don’t have. We install impact-rated French doors with multi-point locking and laminated glass, built to the HVHZ design pressure for your opening. For Hollywood Beach condo owners, we also handle the engineering paperwork your association will want to see. Boards along A1A are reviewing door replacements right now under Florida’s milestone-inspection law, and an approved submittal saves you weeks.

Screen Door Installation

Salt spray off the Atlantic is rough on screen doors in Hollywood, especially within sight of the water in 33019. Standard aluminum screen frames pit and corrode within five years. We install marine-grade or powder-coated screen door assemblies that hold up to the onshore breeze, sized to match your existing slider. If your slider itself is beyond saving, we’ll quote the screen as part of the complete opening.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We’re an authorized installer for manufacturers including PGT, CGI, Anders-en, and we stock common replacement parts for Hollywood’s existing inventory. That means faster turnarounds when a roller, latch, or screen assembly needs replacement. For full door replacements, we quote PGT and CGI impact lines side by side on paper so you can compare glass packages, frame finishes, and pressure ratings line by line. We’ll tell you which one fits your opening and your budget, and why. No guessing, no upsell.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Salt corrosion on aluminum tracks and rollers. In Hollywood Beach and anywhere within a half-mile of the Atlantic, airborne salt accelerates corrosion on uncoated aluminum hardware, causing doors to bind within five to seven years. The fix is marine-grade hardware or a full replacement with factory-finished frames.
• Non-impact sliders that leak under wind pressure. Many 1950s and 1960s CBS homes east of I-95 still have original single-pane sliders with no pressure rating at all. During hurricane-force gusts, wind-driven water gets behind the jamb and sill flashing. We find mold in the framing more often than homeowners expect.
• Jalousie windows and sliders side by side. It’s a Hollywood-specific combination: jalousie windows that can’t be retrofitted for impact share walls with original sliding doors that also can’t. Both have to be replaced for real protection. We scope both at the same time so you’re not paying for two mobilization days.
• Failed inspections on uncertified impact doors. A door ordered online or through a big-box retailer might say “hurricane-rated” but lack a Miami-Dade NOA. Hollywood inspectors check. We’ve been called to fix that situation, and it’s always more expensive than doing it right the first time.

What Sliding & Patio Doors Costs in Hollywood

A standard impact sliding glass door in Hollywood runs $1,400-$3,200 installed for an 8-foot opening. A larger 12-foot three-panel impact slider runs $3,000-$5,000. Custom openings or high-exposure condo work on the beach can push past $6,000, especially when the association requires engineering submittals and hoisting. French patio doors run $2,500-$4,800 installed depending on swing configuration and glass package.

What moves the price in Hollywood: your wind zone. A first-floor condo on Hollywood Beach has a higher design pressure requirement than a ranch home near Stirling Road. Floor height matters too, not because of the glass but because of the engineering and access. We quote the exact model, the exact glass package, and the exact pressure rating before you sign. Estimates are free, and we’ll do a written line-item quote in your home. Call (888) 635-0804.

Hollywood Permitting, HVHZ, and the Salt Factor

Here’s what you actually need to know before replacing a sliding door in Hollywood, Florida. Every sliding door installed in a Hollywood property must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. No approval number, no permit. No permit, no inspection. No inspection, no insurance credit. And Hollywood sits entirely within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which enforces the strictest window and door product-approval standards in the United States. This isn’t a marketing phrase. It’s the reason a door that passes in Davie will fail here.

The second factor is salt. Hollywood’s Atlantic-facing barrier island and prevailing onshore winds deliver persistent salt spray that corrodes aluminum frames, screen tracks, and door hardware. The failure rate in 33019 is measurably worse than a mile inland. If you specify marine-grade anodized or painted finishes, your door lasts. If you don’t, you’ll be back in five years looking at the same problem. We spec hardware for the actual address, not the generic product line.

The third factor is Hollywood’s housing stock. The core residential grid east of I-95, ZIPs 33020 and 33021, is dominated by single-story CBS ranch homes built from the 1950s through the early 1970s. Many still have original jalousie louvered windows beside original aluminum sliding doors, none of which can be retrofitted for impact. When those homes need compliance work, it’s a full opening replacement. The Hollywood Beach barrier strip, ZIP 33019, layers in mid-century condo towers whose original sliding door assemblies are past their service life and out of compliance with current standards. Florida’s 2022 condo milestone-inspection law is forcing boards along A1A to audit those doors now, and we’re handling multi-unit replacements as a result.

Any sliding door installed in a Hollywood property must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval to pass a building permit inspection. This applies to every opening, every time. The old aluminum sliders on 1950s and 1960s CBS homes cannot be retrofitted. The frame, the glass, the interlayer, the anchoring, all of it must meet current HVHZ design pressure for the specific lot exposure. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and we’re on site when the inspector arrives. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and we don’t call it done until Hollywood says so.

Florida Pays You Back

Hollywood homeowners have access to real incentive money when they replace sliders with impact-rated units. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of qualifying product cost up to $600 per year. And windstorm-premium credits commonly average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75-$150. Programs change, and carriers set their own final numbers, so we tell you what’s available and let your insurance agent confirm the specifics before you count on anything.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Hollywood Buyers Ask

Shutters are cheaper up front. They also need to be put up before every storm, stored somewhere for eleven and a half months a year, and they do nothing for a door that’s already corroded or leaking. Impact-rated sliding doors are permanent. They protect the opening every single day, not just when a storm is coming, and they qualify for insurance credits that shutters often don’t. For a Hollywood homeowner who plans to stay in the house for twenty years, the math usually favors the door. If you’re renting the place seasonally, that’s a different conversation, but for the full-time residents of 33020 and 33021, permanent protection is the steady money decision.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Hollywood

Building on Acreage Around Hollywood

Some sliding and patio door work in the Hollywood area isn’t in the beach grid at all. It’s on acreage in the western reaches of 33029 and 33084, where county rather than city permitting applies, and where septic and well setbacks can dictate where a new door or patio opening can go. Long material hauls and equipment access matter on those jobs, and so does grading. An open lot sheds water fast during a Hollywood storm, and a slider set too low to the slab will take on water at the threshold. We scope drainage before we cut any opening. Detached outbuildings, workshops, and ADUs often have non-standard rough openings that need custom unit sizing. We measure twice, we quote the exact model, and we don’t show up unprepared. That’s the TruePane standard, whether we’re on A1A or two miles west of U.S. 27.
