AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Hollywood
Door installation in Hollywood, FL runs $900 to $4,800 for most entry and replacement doors, with impact-rated hurricane doors landing between $2,500 and $6,500 depending on opening size and wind-load requirements. The real variable in Hollywood is compliance: every door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval before the building department will issue a permit. TruePane Windows & Doors has done this work across Hollywood’s HVHZ for years. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll send a technician who knows which doors pass inspection here and which ones get rejected.
We work the whole city, from the CBS ranch grid east of I-95 to the condo corridors along A1A and down into Emerald Hills. Hollywood’s permitting and product-approval requirements are stricter than almost anywhere else in Florida, and they change what you can install. That’s where we come in.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008, but the craft goes back further than that. A second-generation glazier with many years in the trade, Dale built this company on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard: if the pane isn’t true, the job isn’t done. Hollywood homeowners call us because we don’t sell doors that won’t pass their own city’s inspection.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Hollywood. You’ll find lower numbers from handymen and big-box subcontractors. What you won’t find there is a written registration of both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway, or a Done Right Promise that says we’ll fix it right if it isn’t. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s in writing on every job. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before a quote is ever written.
Hollywood customers call us because a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. You call, a person picks up. When you need a door measured on a Tuesday evening in Hollywood Lakes or a replacement estimate for a beachfront condo on North Ocean Drive, we’re reachable.
Our Door Installation Services in Hollywood
Entry Doors
A new entry door changes how a 1950s CBS ranch on Tyler Street feels the moment you walk up to it. We install steel, fiberglass, and wood entry systems from Therma-Tru, Mr-Glass, and PGT, all matched to the opening rather than forced into it. In Hollywood’s older homes, the rough opening often isn’t square anymore, which means the jamb needs shimming, or in worse cases, full reconstruction before the new door goes in. We inspect first, quote what we find, and nothing gets hidden in a change order later.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
This is the service Hollywood asks about most, and for good reason. A hurricane-proof entry door in Hollywood isn’t a sales term. It’s a door that carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval and matches the design pressure rating for your specific opening. If the door doesn’t have that approval, Hollywood’s building department won’t permit the job. We install impact-rated front doors from PGT and other approved manufacturers, and we register the product approval with your permit application so the first inspection passes.
French & Double Doors
French and double doors are where Hollywood’s HVHZ rules get especially unforgiving. Two slabs mean two sets of hinges, two locking points, and twice the surface area for wind load. We see plenty of French doors in Hollywood Hills and along the 33021 corridor that were originally installed without impact glass and are now flagged on wind-mitigation inspections. We spec the right design pressure for the opening, and we don’t undersize the frame to save a few hundred bucks because it will fail inspection at the rough-in.
Replacement Doors
Most replacement doors in Hollywood aren’t chosen; they’re forced. An insurance carrier threatens to drop the policy unless the front door is impact-rated. A corroded slider on a 33019 condo finally seizes. A rotted jamb means the whole assembly has to come out. We handle these jobs start to finish: remove the old door, rebuild what’s rotted, set the new unit, flash it correctly, and schedule the inspection. You get a written line-item quote before we start, and that quote doesn’t change without your signature on a written approval.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we spec them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. For Hollywood’s HVHZ, PGT and Therma-Tru are the names that come up most often, with Mr-Glass and ViewLux filling specific openings where a lighter door or a particular style works better. We register both warranty layers in writing for every door we install in Hollywood, and we service what we sell. If a hinge binds or a threshold seal fails, you call the same number you called on day one: (888) 635-0804.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Rotted jambs and buck framing hidden behind old doors. On a 1960s CBS ranch in Hollywood Lakes, what looked like a simple slider replacement turned into a full jamb rebuild once we pulled the old unit. The salt spray that eats Hollywood’s aluminum frames also works its way into wood jambs and door bucks over the decades.
- Corroded hardware from marine salt air. East of A1A in 33019, we replace door hinges, threshold screws, and locking hardware that has rusted through inside five to seven years. Standard zinc hardware fails fast near the beach; marine-grade anodized or stainless is the only fix.
- Permit rejections for non-HVHZ doors. Hollywood’s building department won’t accept a door that lacks Florida Product Approval, even if a contractor calls it impact-rated. We’ve seen homeowners buy a door from a big-box store, schedule an install, and lose the permit at the first review. We check product approvals before we quote.
- Undersized openings for modern impact doors. Older Hollywood homes often have rough openings that are too tight for a code-compliant impact door with its heavier frame and larger anchors. We measure every opening twice and tell you up front if the opening needs to be enlarged.
Pricing for Door Installation in Hollywood, FL
A replacement interior door in Hollywood runs $250 to $700 installed. A standard exterior entry door, non-impact, lands between $900 and $2,200. Impact-rated hurricane doors are the big one: $2,500 to $4,800 for a single door, and $4,000 to $9,500 for double doors or custom openings. If your home needs the full Door Installation treatment, meaning frame work, flashing, and a new threshold, add $400 to $1,200 depending on what’s rotted behind the old door. Custom fabrication runs four to six weeks once the order is placed; standard sizes can be installed in as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free in-home measure and a written quote.
What Door Installation Costs in Hollywood
Hollywood’s numbers run higher than inland Broward because of compliance, not labor. A full impact door package on a three-bedroom Hollywood home runs $8,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on how many openings are involved and what design pressures the wind maps assign to your elevation and exposure. Floor height matters: a condo on the 12th floor of a Hollywood Beach tower pays more for the same door than a single-story CBS ranch on Buchanan Street because the wind load goes up with height. Frame material shifts the price too: steel and fiberglass cost more than aluminum but last decades longer in salt air. A large or custom opening, like a double front entry with sidelites, lands between $2,500 and $5,000 for the door alone, before installation. Our team finishes most installations in as fast as a single day once your units arrive, but custom fabrication runs four to six weeks. The estimate is free, and it’s in writing.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida’s incentive programs are real and worth using. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which covers impact doors in many Hollywood homes. There’s also a state sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors, and the federal 25C energy credit can return up to $600 per year on qualifying units based on the product cost. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many Hollywood homeowners see real savings on their windstorm premium, often averaging around 25% off the windstorm portion. We don’t control those programs or your carrier’s final numbers, but we’ll point you to the paperwork and make sure your door qualifies before you buy it.
One thing to weigh before you commit: impact doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less up front, but you’ll be hanging panels or cranking roll-downs every time a storm tracks toward Broward. Impact doors are permanent protection, no panels to find in the garage, no wrestling a shutter track in the rain. For an aging Hollywood homeowner who plans to stay, the convenience usually wins.

FAQs - Door Installation in Hollywood
In Hollywood, the price jumps after the permit application usually because the door you bought doesn’t meet HVHZ product-approval standards, or because the old opening has hidden damage the original contractor didn’t check for. Hollywood’s building department will reject any door without a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, even if it’s marketed as impact-rated. That forces a product swap at the last minute. The other cause is undiscovered rot or undersized framing found only after the old door comes out. We avoid both by checking product approvals before we quote and by inspecting the opening before we price the job. Call (888) 635-0804 for a quote that doesn’t move on you.
No. Jalousie doors, common on older Hollywood CBS homes east of I-95, cannot be retrofitted for impact resistance. The louvered design itself won’t hold up under HVHZ wind loads no matter what glass you put in it. The entire assembly has to come out and be replaced with an approved impact-rated door system. We do this work regularly throughout Hollywood’s older grid neighborhoods. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll measure the opening and tell you exactly what fits.
Florida’s post-Surfside milestone inspection law means Hollywood Beach condo boards have to inspect and repair structural elements on a set schedule, and failing sliding glass door assemblies and storefront windows are common inspection findings. Once a milestone inspection flags doors as deficient or non-compliant, the board has no choice but to plan a replacement program. We do multi-unit door replacement along the A1A corridor, and we work with boards to keep the building occupied while the work moves floor by floor. Call (888) 635-0804 and ask to speak with someone about a multi-unit walkthrough.
In many cases, yes. The windstorm portion of a Hollywood homeowner’s policy often drops after a wind-mitigation inspection documents impact-rated openings, and door replacement is part of that inspection. The inspection itself costs $75 to $150. The premium credit depends on your carrier and your home’s location, but we’ve seen Hollywood homeowners cut their windstorm premium significantly after installing approved impact doors and getting the inspection updated. We’ll help you document the product approvals for your insurer. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free measure and quote.
Because Hollywood sits in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where every door has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. Davie is inland and doesn’t face the same approval requirement, so a contractor there can install a less expensive door that would be rejected by Hollywood’s building department. That’s the single biggest reason Hollywood door prices run higher, and it’s not something to bargain away. An uncertified door in Hollywood means a failed inspection and a door you can’t legally keep. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll show you the product approval on paper before you spend a dollar.
What Surfside Taught Hollywood About Doors
The 2021 Champlain Towers collapse in Surfside, just south of Hollywood’s city line, changed how this city looks at aging beachfront buildings. The 2022 condo milestone inspection law that followed means Hollywood Beach condominium boards are now legally required to inspect structural systems on a schedule, and doors are part of what gets examined. Original sliding glass door assemblies from the 1960s and 1970s are being flagged at inspection after inspection along the A1A corridor. Many of them were never impact-rated, and decades of salt air have weakened the frames and corroded the hardware. Boards are responding with full door replacement programs, and that’s work we’ve been doing since before the law existed. The difference now is that the schedule isn’t optional.
This is work that requires a company that plans to be around when an inspection report comes back with a deficiency. TruePane has served South Florida’s coastal communities since 2008 through Dale Kessler’s craft tradition, and we hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and show up on time because we’re still going to be in town in thirty years. That matters to a Hollywood condo board that has to answer to unit owners, and it matters to a homeowner on a CBS ranch street who’s tired of contractors that vanish after the check clears.
Gutting a Room Is a Contract, Not a Surprise
The single biggest reason a Hollywood remodel quote moves is what the wall reveals once it’s open. Outdated wiring that isn’t up to code. Undersized or water-damaged framing around a door opening that now has to hold an impact-rated assembly. Failed waterproofing that’s been quietly rotting the bottom plate for twenty years. In Hollywood’s HVHZ, the permit process often triggers required upgrades to whatever’s behind the door, and if those upgrades weren’t in your contract, you’re paying for them as a surprise.
We handle it differently. Every job starts with an inspection, not an estimate. We look at what’s behind the door before we price the job, and any condition that’s likely to be found is written into the contract as an allowance, not a vague “additional work as needed” clause. If we find something that genuinely couldn’t have been seen before demolition, you get a written price and a signature line before we touch it. That’s the Keystone Standard in practice: a square deal on paper, no arguing, and a Done Right Promise on the complete job. It’s why Hollywood homeowners who’ve been burned once call us for the next door.
