AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood
Window replacement in Hollywood, CA typically runs $900-$1,600 per opening for a standard impact-rated insert, and $1,400-$2,800 per opening when a full frame tear-out is required, which is the rule rather than the exception in the older CBS ranch neighborhoods east of I-95. Most Hollywood homes we serve need the full frame route because original jalousie windows cannot carry impact glass under Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate, and a live person will answer.
We’ve worked the Hollywood grid long enough to know what a 1962 concrete block ranch off Tyler Street asks of a window crew. It’s different from a Hollywood Beach condo tower on A1A. It’s different again from an acreage parcel with a septic drainfield that dictates where the equipment parks. We send background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re buying before you commit.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re not a franchise rolling into Hollywood with a regional playbook. TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the standard on every install traces back to the rule he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Every Hollywood job is backed by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard, which means both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
Hollywood homeowners call us because we’ve handled the county permitting for HVHZ product approvals hundreds of times. When an inspector in 33020 asks for a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval on an impact unit, our answer is already in the folder. We know which manufacturers clear Broward County review without back-and-forth, and we know which ones stall. That’s local knowledge that keeps your job moving. We’ll be there when we say, and a live person still answers the phone when you call to check on the schedule.
Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood
Full Frame Replacement
This is the job Hollywood’s older housing stock demands most. In the 33020 and 33021 zips, original jalousie louvered windows from the 1950s and 1960s still sit in thousands of CBS ranch homes. Jalousies cannot be retrofitted for impact resistance under HVHZ rules, full stop. The entire frame comes out, the rough opening gets reframed and re-flashed with butyl tape, and a fusion-welded impact sash goes in. A typical full frame tear-out in Hollywood runs $1,400-$2,800 per opening depending on size and whether the rough opening needs structural correction.
Insert Window Replacement
When the existing frame is square, sound, and code-compliant, an insert replacement preserves the original trim and interior casing while swapping the sash and glass. This works on newer Hollywood homes and some 1980s-era construction, and it’s the right call when the frame hasn’t been chewed by salt spray from the barrier island. Inserts in Hollywood run $900-$1,600 per opening for standard impact-rated units.
Storm Window Replacement
Hollywood sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and your window is only as good as its weakest product approval. We replace failed storm assemblies and upgrade single-pane aluminum units to impact-rated glazing that clears a Miami-Dade NOA. On Hollywood Beach (33019), where onshore winds carry salt spray through screen tracks and jamb hardware within five to seven years, we specify marine-grade anodized or painted finishes so the new hardware doesn’t corrode before the glass ever fails.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing thin, thermally broken aluminum single panes with low-E insulated glazing changes the way a 1950s CBS ranch in Hollywood holds temperature. You lose heat through old glazing faster than through block walls, and the east-of-I-95 grid has thousands of openings that haven’t been touched since the original build. Budget $950-$1,800 per opening for a true energy-efficient upgrade with argon-filled, low-E glazing and a thermally improved frame.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Hollywood we lean on the ones that clear Broward County HVHZ review without stalling:, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. We stock local parts for the brands Hollywood’s acreage and beachfront homes already carry, which means less waiting when a sash needs warranty work. When we quote, we lay the manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can compare frame construction, glazing packages, and warranty terms line by line, not guess from a phone description.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Jalousie windows that cannot be retrofitted. East of I-95 in Hollywood, original louvered jalousies are everywhere. Under Broward County HVHZ rules, impact glass requires a full frame replacement and reframing of the rough opening. No insert workaround exists.
- Salt spray corrosion in Hollywood Beach condos. The 33019 barrier strip gets persistent onshore wind carrying salt. Aluminum screen tracks, jamb hardware, and sliding door rollers fail within five to seven years unless marine-grade finishes are specified from the start.
- County permit stalls on acreage parcels. Hollywood acreage homes on well and septic systems need setbacks flagged on plot plans before Broward County issues a window permit. Miss that step and the job stops after windows are already ordered. We pull the permit review before quoting so it doesn’t surprise you mid-project.
- Condo milestone-inspection pressure on sliding glass doors. Florida’s 2022 condo inspection law has Hollywood Beach boards auditing decades-old sliding door assemblies along the A1A corridor. Window replacement and slider replacement get bundled into one contract, and the board needs a single crew that can handle both.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, CA
A typical insert replacement in Hollywood runs $900-$1,600 per opening. Full frame tear-outs on jalousie homes run $1,400-$2,800 per opening because the reframing and flashing are part of the job, not an add-on. Energy-efficient upgrades land between $950 and $1,800 per opening depending on glazing package and frame material. Hollywoood Beach condo work, especially multi-unit slider replacements with HVHZ product approvals, runs higher per opening because scaffolding, hoist access, and board coordination add labor. We quote line by line, in writing, with no surprise line items. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate and we’ll walk your openings with you.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood
Jalousie windows have thin, louvered glass slats mounted in a frame that cannot be sealed or structurally reinforced to meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone impact standards. The only compliant path is a full frame tear-out with a new impact-rated unit, reframed rough opening, and re-flashed jambs. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll tell you what your specific openings will take.
Yes. Hollywood sits entirely within Broward County’s HVHZ, and every replacement unit must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval before a permit is issued. On acreage parcels with well and septic systems, the county also requires setbacks to be flagged on the plot plan before the permit clears, so we handle that step before quoting. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate and we’ll walk the permit path with you.
Salt spray within the 33019 barrier strip corrodes aluminum screen tracks, jamb hardware, and sliding door rollers within five to seven years unless marine-grade anodized or painted finishes are specified up front. We specify those finishes on every Hollywood Beach job, and we include hardware replacement in the original quote so you’re not re-buying rollers three years in.
HVHZ product approval is the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval document that certifies a window or door unit tested for wind-load design pressures of 170+ mph exposure. Your Hollywood inspector will ask for it at permit review. We register both warranty layers and keep the approval documents in the job folder so the inspection never stalls. Call (888) 635-0804 for details on your specific products.
Florida’s 2022 condo milestone-inspection law pushed Hollywood Beach boards along the A1A corridor to audit decades-old sliding glass doors that were never code-compliant, and bundling window and slider work into one contract saves scaffold and hoist costs. TruePane handles both scopes so the board deals with one crew and one schedule. Call (888) 635-0804 and ask for a combined-scope walkthrough for your building.
Window Replacement on Hollywood Acreage: What You Won’t Find on a Generic Window Page
Hollywood’s acreage parcels, east of the I-95 grid and into the 33029 and 33081 area, run on county rather than city permitting, and the process is stricter than it looks. Before Broward County issues a window permit on a well-and-septic property, setbacks have to be flagged on the plot plan. That means your drainfield location, your well head, and your property line all get reviewed before the window order even clears. Miss a setback and the job stalls after the windows are already ordered. We pull the county review before we quote, because a quote that doesn’t include the permit path is a quote that changes on you later.
Equipment access is another line item on acreage jobs. A full frame tear-out on a 1963 CBS ranch off Tyler Street in the 33021 zip isn’t the same job as the same tear-out ten blocks west with a tight setback and a septic drainfield between the driveway and the window wall. We account for where the truck parks, how the old jalousie frames get carried out, and whether grading and drainage around the foundation need attention before new flashing goes in. Outbuildings and detached garages on Hollywood acreage often carry original single-pane aluminum windows that fail the same way the main house does, and we scope those separately so the quote covers the whole parcel, not just the front of the house.
