Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Hollywood

Custom windows and doors in Hollywood, FL typically run $800-$1,800 per opening installed for impact-rated units, with whole-home packages starting around $8,000 and large or unusual openings reaching $5,000 or more. Everything here must meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, which means a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval on every single unit before the city issues a permit. That’s the reality of building in Hollywood, and it’s why we spec, order, and install differently than a contractor working 30 miles inland. If you’re replacing jalousie windows in a 1960s CBS ranch off Federal Highway or upgrading sliding glass doors in a beachfront condo on the A1A corridor, call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home measure and a written quote you can actually compare.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company

We’ve spent years installing and replacing windows and doors across South Florida’s coastal communities. In Hollywood specifically, that means we know what a permit triggers when walls come open in a 1958 CBS home, and we know which manufacturer lines actually pass inspection in the HVHZ. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still guides every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters more in Hollywood than almost anywhere else, because a window that’s out of true by even a fraction of an inch will leak air, bind in July humidity, and fail the wind-load math the city requires.

Our Custom Windows & Doors team works in Hollywood every week. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork and no arguing.

A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When you call about a fogged seal or a sliding door that binds after a storm, you’ll talk to someone who knows the difference between a PGT WinGuard and a generic impact unit.

HVHZ-Compliant Impact Window Replacement for CBS Ranch Homes

The east-of-I-95 grid from ZIP 33020 through 33021 is packed with single-story concrete block ranches built between the mid-1950s and early 1970s. Many still have their original single-pane aluminum frames, which are neither impact-rated nor thermally broken. Replacing them with HVHZ-approved units isn’t a cosmetic upgrade in Hollywood. It’s often the difference between keeping your windstorm coverage and getting a non-renewal notice from your carrier. We walk each opening, verify the rough opening depth, and spec the right frame material for the exposure.

Jalousie-to-Impact-Window Conversions

Hollywood has one of the highest concentrations of original jalousie windows in Broward County, especially in the older CBS neighborhoods east of I-95. Louvered glass cannot be retrofitted for impact resistance. The entire assembly has to come out, and in most cases the rough opening is too shallow for a modern impact frame. We handle the structural work: new treated sills, steel-reinforced headers where needed, and a written change order before any framing is touched. No surprises buried in the final bill.

Condo Sliding Glass Door Replacement Along A1A

Florida’s 2022 condo milestone-inspection law has pushed Hollywood Beach boards along the 33019 corridor to audit and replace sliding glass door assemblies that were never code-compliant. These are concentrated multi-unit jobs. We’ve worked with condo associations from the barrier island down through Hallandale to sequence replacements floor by floor, keeping units weathertight and securing the Miami-Dade NOA documentation the city inspector will ask for.

Fully Custom Window and Door Fabrication

Not every opening in Hollywood is a standard size, especially in the mid-century homes where previous owners made additions or enclosed porches without permits. We order from manufacturer lines including PGT, Therma-Tru, and Mr-Glass, and we don’t cut corners on the rough opening to force a stock unit in. Custom fabrication runs 4-6 weeks. Once your units arrive, installation is typically completed in as fast as a single day per opening.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Hollywood we lean heavily on PGT WinGuard and Therma-Tru because their HVHZ configurations consistently pass Miami-Dade NOA review. When we quote a Hollywood job, we put the actual manufacturer lines on paper side by side so you see exactly what you’re buying, including the design pressure rating for each opening. We don’t sell a window without telling you what it’s rated to withstand and what the warranty actually covers, in writing.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Corroded aluminum frames from salt spray. The onshore winds off the Atlantic push salt air into barrier island homes along 33019, and painted aluminum frames without marine-grade anodizing will show pitting and binding within five to seven years. We specify marine-grade finishes on every coastal job.
• Jalousie windows that can’t be retrofitted. Louvered glass from the 1950s and 1960s is the single most common reason Hollywood homeowners call us. There is no retrofit path. The assembly has to be replaced with an HVHZ-approved impact unit, which usually means reframing the opening.
• Sliding glass doors that fail milestone inspections. Condo boards on the barrier strip are now legally required to audit and replace aging door assemblies. Original storefront and slider assemblies from the early 1970s are almost never compliant with today’s wind-load standards.
• Fogged seals and water intrusion from failed waterproofing. When we pull an old unit out of a Hollywood home, we often find the original flashing and sill pan were never properly sealed. We redo the waterproofing on every replacement, not just the visible trim work.

Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL

What Custom Windows & Doors Costs in Hollywood

Let’s get concrete. A single impact window in a standard Hollywood opening runs $800-$1,500 installed. Impact single-hung units run $900-$1,800 because the frame and glass package have to carry the same HVHZ wind-load rating as a larger fixed unit. Large or custom openings, say a picture window in a 1960s living room or a corner slider on a beachfront condo, run $2,500-$5,000. Whole-home packages depend on opening count, but $8,000-$25,000 is the realistic range for most Hollywood CBS ranches. The two factors that move the price most in Hollywood are floor height and wind zone. A second-story opening faces higher design pressure than a ground-floor unit, and the city checks. A quote that doesn’t account for your specific exposure is a quote that will change. Ours doesn’t, because we measure every opening and write the allowances into the contract before you sign.

Florida Pays You Back

Florida’s incentive stack for impact windows and doors is worth understanding if you’re in Hollywood. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-resistant windows and doors qualify. Florida also waives sales tax on impact-rated units, which saves roughly 6-7% on the total project. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection, typically $75-$150 in Broward County, can unlock windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carrier decisions vary, so we don’t guarantee a specific number. We do provide the documentation your inspector and carrier need, including the Miami-Dade NOA numbers for every unit we install.

One comparison worth making early: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront, but someone has to be home to hang them, and they do nothing for energy efficiency, sound, or daily security. Impact windows are permanent protection. In Hollywood, where a storm watch can turn into a mandatory evacuation order in 48 hours, not having to chase panels while you’re packing matters. Most homeowners we talk to choose impact units once they understand the insurance and sales-tax math.

What Opening a Hollywood Wall Actually Turns Up

This is the part of the conversation most window companies skip. When we open up an older Hollywood home, the window itself is rarely the only problem. We routinely find outdated wiring run through the stud cavity next to the opening, undersized or water-damaged framing, and failed waterproofing that’s been leaking into the block for years. The code upgrades a permit triggers are real: once walls are open, the city can require smoke detector updates, GFCI outlets, or strapping corrections depending on what’s visible. A generic quote doesn’t account for any of that.

Our approach is straightforward. We inspect first. We pull the existing unit or scope the opening before we finalize your number. Then we write allowances into the contract for framing, waterproofing, and any expected code work, so the number you sign isn’t a guess. If we find something nobody could have seen, a cracked lintel, a rotted sill, we price it and get your written approval before we touch it. That’s how we keep a surprise from becoming a budget-destroying change order. In Hollywood, where the majority of homes are 50 to 70 years old, this is the single biggest reason a replacement quote moves between the estimate and the final bill. We’d rather tell you the truth at the start than hand you a change order at the end.

On a 1962 CBS ranch in the 33020 grid off Federal Highway, our crew pulled the original jalousie windows from a bedroom wall and found the rough openings were undersized for modern impact frames and the lintels were cracked. We shored the openings with new treated sills and steel-reinforced headers, hung PGT WinGuard casement and double-hung units with Low-E insulated glass, and wrote the framing upgrades into a change order the homeowner signed before we touched a single sash. That’s how we work.

A contractor quoting a Hollywood replacement without pulling the existing unit first discovers the jalousie rough opening is too shallow for an HVHZ impact frame, so the job stalls or the homeowner swallows the cost of reframing mid-project. A condo board picks a beautiful slider without a Miami-Dade NOA, and the inspector rejects it after demo. Both are avoidable. We avoid them.
