AfterWindows & Doors in Hollywood, FL
Window installation in Hollywood, FL typically runs $650-$1,400 per opening for standard vinyl or aluminum replacement, with full-frame tear-outs on older CBS homes landing toward the higher end. Most Hollywood jobs require Florida Product Approval numbers filed with Broward County, and crews familiar with the HVHZ submittal checklist avoid the permit rejections that delay out-of-county installers. Call (786) 755-8730 to schedule your free measured survey; the written quote we leave with you is the same document that governs the install.
Hollywood’s housing stock - 1950s-1970s concrete-block tract homes in Emerald Hills and Driftwood, plus 1960s-1980s condo towers along the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk - still carries original jalousie and single-pane aluminum frames that degrade faster here than inland. Salt air from direct Atlantic exposure attacks frames and hardware before the glass fails, and the HVHZ’s 170+ mph design-pressure requirements rule out lower-rated product lines used legally elsewhere in Florida. Our crews are dispatched from the brand’s Miami office and work Hollywood locally, with every technician background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival under Haven Clause 3.
Why Hollywood Homes Are Different
Hollywood sits entirely within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where every permitted opening must carry a Florida Product Approval number and the manufacturer’s Notice of Acceptance attached to the application. The city’s Building Division rejects permits that list products by brand name alone without the FPA number, a step that trips up crews who work mostly in non-HVHZ counties. In Emerald Hills and West Hollywood, we regularly see 1960s CBS homes with original single-pane aluminum sliders where the frame has corroded structurally from salt air before the glass shows cracks.
The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk condos add another layer: multi-unit association permitting on top of Broward’s standard building permit, with board approvals often taking longer than the city review. Then there’s the snowbird factor - Hollywood’s outsized seasonal-resident population means insurance renewal notices hit mailboxes every fall, and carriers are aggressively surcharging or non-renewing policies without full impact-rated coverage. Upgrade calls spike predictably when part-time owners return from up north and open those envelopes. The combination of aging original stock, aggressive insurer requirements, and strict HVHZ code enforcement makes Hollywood window and door work materially different from Miami-Dade or Palm Beach jobs.
Our Main Hollywood Services
Hollywood homeowners call us most often for full window replacement and impact-rated upgrades, the two jobs driven by the city’s aging housing stock and insurance market pressure.
Window Replacement in Hollywood
Window replacement in Hollywood means full-frame tear-out on most CBS homes built before 1980, since original aluminum frames are too corroded or dimensionally wrong for insert replacement. We measure every opening to the nearest 1/8 inch, specify the Florida Product Approval number on the written quote, and file the permit with the NOA attached. Our crews have replaced thousands of original jalousie and single-pane units in Emerald Hills and Driftwood, and we document the full opening condition with photos before any product is ordered. Window Replacement in Hollywood
Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Impact windows and doors in Hollywood are not optional for most homeowners anymore - carriers are non-renewing policies without full HVHZ-rated coverage, and the city’s location in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requires 170+ mph design-pressure ratings on every permitted opening. We specify PGT, CGI, or CWS lines by performance tier and price range, not by margin, and every product carries the FPA number needed for Broward permit approval. The measured survey includes a written scope of which openings need impact-rated replacement versus which can be retrofit with impact-rated film or shutters. Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Sliding & Patio Doors in Hollywood
Sliding and patio door replacement in Hollywood addresses the most common failure point in Broadwalk condos and 1970s ranch homes: the 6- or 8-foot aluminum slider with corroded rollers, bent track, or frame rot from salt-air intrusion. These openings are also the largest unprotected glass surface in most homes, making them critical for both impact rating and energy performance. We measure the rough opening, check the header condition for structural integrity, and specify either a replacement slider or a folding door system depending on the wall configuration and the customer’s use of the space.

Before
AfterWindow Installation in Hollywood
Window installation in Hollywood, FL demands crews who understand the difference between a standard replacement and a full-frame tear-out on a 1960s CBS block home with original single-pane aluminum units. The salt-air corrosion we find in Driftwood and Emerald Hills often means the frame itself has failed structurally before the glass cracks, and the HVHZ’s 170+ mph design-pressure requirement rules out product lines that installers might use legally in Orlando or Tampa. We begin every engagement with a measured survey the customer keeps, and the written quote cannot differ from that document - Haven Clause 1 since 2012. Our Window Installation crews are dispatched from the Miami office and work Hollywood with the Broward permit submittal checklist already completed.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
The top sash won’t stay open, the balance system is visible and corroded, or you feel air movement around the frame perimeter even when locked.
What it costs in Hollywood
Single and double hung window installation in Hollywood typically ranges from $650 to $1,200 per opening for vinyl or aluminum full-frame replacement, with original jalousie tear-outs adding $150-$300 for frame remediation.
How we do it
We remove the entire frame to the rough opening, treat any salt-corroded CMU with a bonding agent, install the new unit with HVHZ-rated fasteners on 6-inch centers, and seal with backer rod and silicone before the Broward rough inspection.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
The sash jumps the track, the rollers grind instead of glide, or the locking mechanism no longer engages because the frame has distorted from salt-air corrosion.
What it costs in Hollywood
Horizontal roller window installation in Hollywood typically ranges from $750 to $1,400 per opening, with impact-rated CGI or PGT units landing at the higher end and non-impact vinyl at the lower.
How we do it
We measure the existing frame depth against the replacement unit, verify the sill pan drains properly after years of Atlantic exposure, and install with continuous head flashing tied into the wall weather barrier before photo documentation.
What Window Installation Costs in Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Single/Double Hung (vinyl, full-frame) | $650 - $1,200 |
| Horizontal Roller (impact-rated) | $750 - $1,400 |
| Original jalousie tear-out remediation | $150 - $300 additional |
How long does window installation take in Hollywood?
Most Hollywood homes see 8-12 openings completed in one day for a standard replacement, but full-frame tear-outs on pre-1980 CBS homes with corroded frames often stretch to two days. Broward permit scheduling adds 3-5 business days before work can start, and condo jobs require association approval first.
Do you pull permits for window installation in Hollywood?
Yes - we file every Hollywood window job with the Florida Product Approval number and manufacturer’s NOA attached, because the Building Division rejects applications that list products by brand name alone. The permit, inspection results, and photo record are included in the job documentation you keep.
Door Installation in Hollywood
Door installation in Hollywood, FL faces the same salt-air degradation as windows, with the added complexity of structural load transfer at the hinge side and the HVHZ’s 170+ mph pressure requirements for any exterior door. Original 1960s-1970s hollow-core or thin-gauge steel units in Emerald Hills and West Hollywood have often corroded at the threshold and jamb, and the direct Atlantic exposure means hardware failure precedes panel failure. We measure the rough opening, check the king stud and header for integrity, and specify the FPA-numbered product before any work begins - the written quote is the measured survey, unchanged. Our Door Installation process follows the same Haven Standard as our window work.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
The door rattles in moderate wind, daylight is visible around the weatherstrip, or the deadbolt no longer seats flush because the frame has twisted from salt corrosion.
What it costs in Hollywood
Hurricane-proof front door installation in Hollywood typically ranges from $1,800 to $3,500, with fiberglass impact-rated units from Therma-Tru at the lower end and custom aluminum storefront systems at the higher.
How we do it
We remove the frame to the rough opening, verify the header carries the HVHZ load with a structural check, install the pre-hung impact unit with long screws into the king stud, and seal with a pan flashing system before Broward inspection.
French & Double Doors
Signs you need it
The inactive panel no longer seals against the astragal, water pools at the sill during storms, or the multipoint lock has failed because the frame has settled or corroded.
What it costs in Hollywood
French and double door installation in Hollywood typically ranges from $2,200 to $4,500, with impact-rated aluminum systems from PGT or CGI landing mid-range and custom-width or outswing configurations at the higher end.
How we do it
We verify the rough opening is plumb and square within 1/8 inch, install a composite or aluminum sill pan with end dams, hang the active panel first then align the inactive, and adjust the multipoint hardware before photo documentation.
What Door Installation Costs in Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors | $1,800 - $3,500 |
| French & Double Doors | $2,200 - $4,500 |
| Frame remediation (salt-corroded jamb/threshold) | $300 - $600 additional |
Do impact doors require different permits in Hollywood?
Yes - Broward County requires the Florida Product Approval number and NOA for every exterior door in the HVHZ, and the Building Division rejects applications without both documents. We file these with the permit before scheduling rough inspection.
Can you match my existing door color in Hollywood?
Most manufacturers offer 8-15 standard colors with custom matching available for an upcharge; we provide a physical sample for approval before ordering, documented in the written scope. Call (786) 755-8730 to see color options during your free estimate.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Hollywood
Energy-efficient windows in Hollywood, FL address a specific local problem: the combination of year-round cooling loads, intense south and west solar exposure, and original single-pane aluminum frames that conduct heat directly into the conditioned space. In Driftwood and West Hollywood, we regularly find 1970s CBS homes with U-factors above 1.0 and no Low-E coating, meaning the air conditioner runs continuously and the electric bill reflects it. The upgrade path is not just better glass but the right glass for the orientation - we specify by performance tier, not by margin, and the measured survey includes a solar heat gain coefficient recommendation for each facade. Our Energy-Efficient Windows work is governed by the same upfront-price standard as every other service.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Furniture or flooring has faded near south-facing windows, the glass feels hot to the touch in afternoon sun, or your cooling bill spikes in July and August despite thermostat settings.
What it costs in Hollywood
Low-E and argon gas window installation in Hollywood typically ranges from $750 to $1,350 per opening, with dual-pane soft-coat Low-E and argon fill adding 15-25% over standard clear glass.
How we do it
We measure each opening, specify the appropriate Low-E coating by facade orientation, order with argon fill and warm-edge spacers, and verify the NFRC label matches the written scope before installation.
ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows
Signs you need it
Your current windows are not ENERGY STAR certified, you have no documentation of U-factor or SHGC performance, or you’re replacing HVAC and want to reduce the load calculation.
What it costs in Hollywood
ENERGY STAR replacement window installation in Hollywood typically ranges from $850 to $1,500 per opening, with the ENERGY STAR premium over code-minimum windows running 10-20% depending on frame material.
How we do it
We verify the product’s NFRC certification against the ENERGY STAR climate zone requirements for South Florida, specify the U-factor and SHGC in writing, and include the certification documentation with your job record.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Low-E & Argon Gas Glass (dual-pane) | $750 - $1,350 |
| ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows | $850 - $1,500 |
| UV-Blocking & Fade Protection upgrade | $100 - $250 additional per opening |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my electric bill in Hollywood?
Most Hollywood homeowners see 10-20% cooling load reduction after replacing single-pane aluminum with dual-pane Low-E argon units, with the greatest impact on west and south facades. The payback period depends on your current HVAC efficiency and electric rate tier.
Do energy-efficient windows qualify for rebates in Hollywood?
Florida Power & Light occasionally offers window rebates through its Home Energy Survey program; we document the NFRC ratings and product labels needed for any rebate application, but we do not guarantee program availability. Call (786) 755-8730 and we will review current incentives during your free estimate.
Impact Garage Doors in Hollywood
Impact garage doors in Hollywood, FL are increasingly required by insurers and the Florida Building Code, yet most 1960s-1980s CBS homes in Emerald Hills and Driftwood still carry non-rated sectional doors that fail the HVHZ’s 170+ mph pressure criteria. The garage door is the largest opening in most homes, and a breach during hurricane event pressurizes the entire structure - which is why carriers are surcharging or non-renewing policies without rated coverage. We specify wind-load-rated products with the FPA number and NOA already attached to the permit application, and we document the spring balance and track anchorage with photos before and after. Our Impact Garage Doors service follows the same measured-survey standard as every other opening.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Your current door has no wind-load sticker, the panels flex visibly in moderate wind, or your insurance renewal notice specifically requests garage door impact rating documentation.
What it costs in Hollywood
Hurricane-rated garage door installation in Hollywood typically ranges from $1,800 to $3,800 for a standard 16-foot double door, with reinforced steel or aluminum impact-rated panels from CWS or PGT at the higher end.
How we do it
We measure the opening and headroom, verify the torsion spring system is rated for the heavier impact door, install the wind-load-rated section with reinforced struts and heavy-duty track, and attach the FPA documentation for Broward inspection.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
You’re selling the home and the buyer’s inspection flagged the garage door as non-compliant, or you’re completing a whole-home impact upgrade and the garage is the remaining unpermitted opening.
What it costs in Hollywood
Wind-load code compliance retrofit in Hollywood typically ranges from $800 to $2,200 if the existing door can be reinforced with a vertical post system, or $1,800 to $3,800 for full replacement if the door is too old or damaged.
How we do it
We assess the existing door for retrofit viability, specify either a vertical post reinforcement kit or full replacement with the appropriate design-pressure rating, and file the permit with the FPA number and installation details for inspector review.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-Rated Garage Door (16 ft, full replacement) | $1,800 - $3,800 |
| Wind-Load Retrofit (vertical post system) | $800 - $2,200 |
| Opener upgrade (heavy-duty, impact-rated door compatible) | $400 - $900 additional |
Does my garage door need to be impact-rated in Hollywood?
Yes - Broward County’s HVHZ requires Florida Product Approval on all exterior openings including garage doors, and most insurers now require documentation of compliance for renewal. We provide the FPA number and installation certificate as part of the job documentation.
Can I keep my garage door opener with a new impact door?
Most standard openers lack the torque for heavier impact-rated doors; we test the existing unit during the measured survey and specify a replacement if the duty cycle or horsepower is insufficient. Call (786) 755-8730 to schedule the survey and written quote.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Hollywood
Custom and geometric windows in Hollywood, FL solve the design problem that standard rectangles cannot: the arched transoms above 1970s ranch entries in West Hollywood, the circular feature windows in Emerald Hills mid-century homes, and the oversized glass walls facing the Intracoastal in newer construction. These openings require field-verified templates, not catalog measurements, and the HVHZ adds the constraint that every custom shape must still carry Florida Product Approval - which eliminates many catalog “custom” options that lack NOA documentation. We measure on-site with digital templates, specify from PGT, CGI, or ViewLux custom programs by what the opening requires, and the written quote includes the template drawing you approve before fabrication begins. Our Custom & Geometric Windows process is documented at every step under Haven Clause 4.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Signs you need it
You have a trapezoid, octagon, or circular window that is leaking, the original unit is single-pane in a shaped sash that cannot be replicated by standard replacement, or you’re renovating and want to preserve the architectural character.
What it costs in Hollywood
Geometric and shaped window installation in Hollywood typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,800 per opening, with the premium over rectangular units running 40-80% depending on complexity and whether impact rating is required.
How we do it
We create a digital field template of the exact shape and radius, submit to the manufacturer for shop drawing approval, verify the FPA number covers the custom configuration, and install with specialized flashing for the non-standard geometry.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
The arched transom above your entry or the curved window in your stairwell has developed seal failure, or the original wood or aluminum unit has rotted or corroded beyond repair.
What it costs in Hollywood
Arched and curved window installation in Hollywood typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,200 per opening, with true radius construction costing more than segmental or springline arches, and impact-rated curved units at the higher end.
How we do it
We measure the rise and chord length to verify the radius, specify either a true curved unit or a segmented approximation based on budget and sightline requirements, and coordinate the template approval with the manufacturer before fabrication.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Geometric & Shaped Windows | $1,200 - $2,800 |
| Arched & Curved Windows | $1,500 - $3,200 |
| Oversized Openings (custom engineering) | $3,500 - $8,000+ |
How long do custom windows take to fabricate in Hollywood?
Most geometric and arched units require 6-10 weeks from template approval to delivery, with true radius or oversized openings extending to 12-14 weeks. We do not remove the existing unit until the replacement is in-hand, verified, and inspected.
Can custom windows be impact-rated in Hollywood?
Yes - PGT, CGI, and ViewLux all offer custom impact-rated programs with FPA numbers and NOA documentation for HVHZ compliance, but the design-pressure engineering adds cost and lead time. We verify the FPA coverage before quoting and include the number in your written scope.
