Window Replacement in Hollywood - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood

Window replacement in Hollywood, FL typically costs $800 to $1,500 per window installed for impact-rated units, with whole-home packages running $8,000 to $25,000 or more. Every window we install in Hollywood carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, because this city sits entirely inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest product-approval standard in the country. TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing this work here long enough to know which openings in a 1950s Hollywood Lakes ranch need full-frame replacement and which can take an insert.

We’re not new to Hollywood. We know the difference between a 1962 CBS ranch off Johnson Street and a 1972 condo tower on the A1A corridor, and we know that the right window for one is often the wrong window for the other. That local knowledge keeps your permit moving and your inspection passing.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We’ve built our reputation in Hollywood one opening at a time. Homeowners east of I-95 call us because they’ve heard from a neighbor that we pulled a permit correctly the first time, or because their condo board recommended us after a 40-year recertification audit. The work we do in Hollywood is visible. It’s the row of PGT double-hungs on a Hollywood Lakes ranch that passed wind mitigation on the first inspection, and the CGI sliding doors on a Hollywood Beach condominium that finally stopped whistling during a summer squall.

Our Window Replacement team is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded TruePane in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We send background-checked, uniformed technicians to every Hollywood job, and we measure every opening twice before we quote. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s our Keystone Standard, and it’s backed by our Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.

A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call about a window in Hollywood, you get a person, not a voicemail tree. That matters when a storm is two days out and you need to know whether your current windows will hold.

Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement means removing the entire existing window down to the rough opening and installing a new, structurally complete unit. In Hollywood, this is often the only correct choice for 1950s and 1960s CBS homes still holding original jalousie louvered windows. Jalousie jambs are shallow and segmented; they have no continuous frame to anchor an insert. We pull the old unit, repair or re-flash the opening, and set an HVHZ-approved impact window with proper design pressure ratings for your specific elevation and exposure. This is a compliance job as much as a comfort job.

Insert Window Replacement

When the existing frame is solid, square, and structurally sound, an insert window slides into the old frame and trims out cleanly. Inserts are faster and often cheaper than full frame, and they make sense for Hollywood homes with intact aluminum or wood frames that simply hold single-pane glass. But we’ll tell you honestly when an insert won’t work. If the old frame is pitted from salt air, out of square, or shows signs of hidden rot, an insert will only hide the problem. Hollywood’s marine environment punishes frames faster than most homeowners expect, especially within a mile of the beach in 33019.

Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl is the most common window material we install in Hollywood’s inland neighborhoods, including the 33021 grid and pockets around Emerald Hills. It’s cost-effective, thermally efficient, and holds up reasonably well to sun and humidity when it’s a quality extrusion. Vinyl doesn’t suit every opening, though. Wide spans and some condo association specifications call for aluminum or a hybrid frame. We quote your options side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying and why one line costs more than another.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Replacing old single-pane aluminum frames with Low-E insulated impact glass changes what you pay every month for cooling. Hollywood’s summer heat loads are relentless, and those old aluminum frames conduct heat straight into your living room. Dual-pane insulated glass with a Low-E coating cuts solar heat gain substantially. The federal 25C energy credit currently returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. Combined with the My Safe Florida Home program, the upgrade path makes sense for a house you plan to stay in.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For Hollywood specifically, we lean on PGT and CGI for impact-rated units because their product approvals are deep and their performance in Broward County wind conditions is well documented. When you sit down with us for a quote, we’ll show you multiple manufacturer options side by side. That way you compare price, warranty language, and design pressure ratings on paper, not from memory. We also stock common replacement hardware and parts for Hollywood customers, which means faster turnaround on repairs and adjustments.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Jalousie windows that can’t be retrofitted. A large share of Hollywood’s older CBS homes east of I-95 still have jalousie louvered windows. You can’t make them impact-resistant with any retrofit product currently approved in Florida. They have to come out entirely, and full-frame replacement is the only code-compliant answer.
• Salt-corroded aluminum frames. The Atlantic-facing barrier island delivers persistent salt spray that eats aluminum frames, screen tracks, and hardware. In 33019 especially, we regularly see frames that are structurally compromised within five to seven years unless marine-grade finishes were specified.
• Condo recertification pressure. Hollywood Beach condo boards are facing 40-year recertification deadlines and milestone inspection requirements. Many boards are discovering their original sliding glass door assemblies never met current HVHZ standards, and must be replaced on a building-wide schedule. This creates concentrated multi-unit contracts along the A1A corridor.
• Failed wind mitigation inspections. We get calls from Hollywood homeowners who had windows installed by an out-of-town company that didn’t know the property is in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The permit gets a stop-work order at inspection because the windows lack a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. The windows have to come back out. We fix it, but it’s a costly lesson.

Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL

What Window Replacement Costs in Hollywood

Let’s put real numbers down. Impact windows in Hollywood generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung runs $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like full-height fixed glass or oversized sliding doors, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages across 8 to 20 openings run $8,000 to $25,000 or more, with the high end reflecting complex condo work or large custom configurations on Hollywood Beach.

The biggest driver of cost in Hollywood is wind zone. Every property in the city is in the HVHZ, but design pressure requirements scale with height, exposure, and proximity to the coast. A fourth-floor unit in 33019 on the ocean side of A1A carries a much higher pressure requirement than a single-story home in 33024 near Sheridan Street. Frame material matters too: vinyl is typically the most cost-effective, while thermally broken aluminum and custom wood-clad lines run higher. We quote your options on paper, side by side, so you see the actual cost difference before you decide. Call (888) 635-0804 to schedule a free in-home measure.

Florida Pays You Back

Florida homeowners have real money available to help pay for impact windows and energy upgrades. My Safe Florida Home provides matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements. The state also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you 6% to 7.5% off the product cost at point of sale. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year.

Beyond the incentives, many Hollywood homeowners see windstorm premium reductions after a wind mitigation inspection credits the impact windows. That inspection typically costs $75 to $150, and the resulting credit averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. We don’t guarantee any specific savings, since insurance carriers set their own numbers, but the math on impact windows in a coastal HVHZ market is about as favorable as it gets.

We Also Serve Cities Near Hollywood

Our crews work throughout Hollywood and the surrounding South Florida communities, including Miami Gardens, Hallandale, Dania, and Opa Locka. If you’re in one of those cities and need window replacement or storm protection, call (888) 635-0804. We’ll schedule a free estimate and measure your openings the same way we do everywhere: twice.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood

Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL: The Truth About Compliance

Hollywood sits entirely within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most stringent window and door product-approval standard in the United States. That means every replacement window installed here must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval before a permit is issued. Period. An installer who doesn’t understand this will pull a permit with an unapproved window and get a stop-work order at inspection, and you’ll be the one paying to have it corrected.

This compliance gate is the single biggest reason Hollywood homeowners should choose a local company that works in the HVHZ every day. The pressure is made worse by the housing stock itself. The east-of-I-95 grid, including ZIPs 33020 and 33021, is dominated by single-story CBS ranch homes built in the 1950s through early 1970s, and many of those homes still have original jalousie louvered windows or thin single-pane aluminum frames that are neither impact-rated nor thermally broken. Those windows cannot be retrofitted for impact resistance. They must come out, and the replacement must be approved for the specific design pressure of the opening.

On the Hollywood Beach barrier strip in 33019, the situation is different but equally demanding. Mid-century and early-1970s condo towers line A1A, and their original sliding glass door assemblies are well past their service life. The 2022 condo milestone-inspection law, passed in response to the Champlain Towers collapse just south of the Hollywood border, is pushing boards to audit and replace those assemblies on a schedule. A board that rushes a replacement spec without design-pressure calculations gets a failed recertification, and the owners get hit with a second assessment.

We ran into this exact scenario on a 1950s CBS ranch in Hollywood Lakes. The homeowners still had original jalousie louvered windows on the east elevation. We pulled them out and set PGT impact-rated double-hungs carrying Miami-Dade NOA, and the job required full-frame replacement because the old jalousie jambs had no structural depth for an insert. Our techs re-flashed the openings, the homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection passed on the first try, and the insurance carrier accepted the rating without question. That’s the outcome we aim for on every Hollywood job.

When you’re comparing quotes in Hollywood, ask the contractor one question: what’s the NOA or Florida Product Approval number for the window being quoted, and does it match this opening? If they can’t answer, hang up. Then call (888) 635-0804 and talk to TruePane Windows & Doors. We’ll show you the approvals, explain the design pressure math, and give you a written quote that won’t change once the work starts.
