Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood
If you own a home in Hollywood built between 1950 and 1975, you’re likely sitting on original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows that were never meant to meet Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. Our Window Replacement team handles full-frame and insert replacement work throughout Hollywood, from Emerald Hills to Hollywood Lakes, and we know exactly what the city’s HVHZ inspectors look for before they sign off. A window that passes inspection in Fort Lauderdale or Pembroke Pines is often illegal here, and that’s the difference local knowledge makes. Call (754) 310-3589 for a free in-home measure and a written quote with no surprises.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Hollywood is one of only two counties in Florida where every replacement window must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) under High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules. We’ve been navigating that stricter standard long enough to know which manufacturer lines clear inspection on the first pass and which ones get red-tagged. Dale Kessler founded this company on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That principle governs every install we make in Hollywood, from a single casement on a condo off the Broadwalk to a full-house replacement in the Hollywood Hills.
Our background-checked technicians measure every opening twice and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s backed by a 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. Call (754) 310-3589 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a regional call center. A person who knows Hollywood.
Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood
Full Frame Replacement
Most Hollywood homes from the 1950s through 1970s were built with concrete block stucco, and many still have original aluminum frames corroded by decades of salt air. A full-frame replacement pulls the entire old window, frame included, and lets us inspect the rough opening for rot, out-of-square framing, and failed waterproofing before the new unit goes in. In Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills, we regularly find openings that haven’t been touched since the Eisenhower administration. Full-frame work is the honest fix, not a cover-up.

Insert Window Replacement
An insert window fits inside your existing frame and costs less than a full-frame job. But here’s the Hollywood reality: if those old aluminum jambs are corroded from salt exposure or the steel lintels above the opening have rusted, an insert won’t sit square, and you’ll pay twice. We measure and inspect before we recommend an insert. When the existing frame is sound, it’s a clean, faster path to impact-rated glass. When it isn’t, we tell you straight.

Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl holds up well in Hollywood’s salt-heavy air because it doesn’t oxidize the way aluminum does. For east-facing elevations within a mile of the Broadwalk, that matters. We install vinyl replacements with welded corners and multi-chamber frames from manufacturers whose Hollywood-approved configurations carry the Miami-Dade NOA. You get a window that won’t pit, won’t seize, and won’t need a wire brush every other season.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing original jalousies with Low-E impact windows changes what you pay Florida Power & Light every month. The glass blocks a significant share of solar heat gain while keeping the AC inside. In Hollywood’s climate, where cooling runs ten months of the year, the savings compound. We’ll quote Low-E, argon-filled, and laminated glass options side by side on paper so you can see the numbers before you sign anything. For more on our broader Window Replacement capabilities, this is the work we do every week across South Florida.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hollywood jobs we lean on the ones that carry Miami-Dade NOA approvals across the widest range of sizes and design pressures. That includes PGT and CGI for impact-rated work, plus CWS and ES Windows where homeowners want a specific look or frame profile. We don’t push one brand. We quote lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what each one costs and what each warranty covers. Local stock in our South Florida shop means most hardware and frame components arrive without a long freight delay. And because we service what we install, the manufacturer’s warranty and our 90-Day Done Right Promise both stay enforceable, in writing, before the truck leaves your driveway in Hollywood.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames and jambs: Salt air off the Atlantic accelerates oxidation, especially east of Federal Highway and within a mile of the Broadwalk. Frames that look fine from the living room are often structurally gone inside the wall cavity.
- Non-compliant jalousie windows: Original louvered jalousies fail HVHZ large-missile impact standards and get flagged in wind-mitigation inspections. Homeowners often find out from Citizens Property Insurance before they ever call a contractor.
- Out-of-square rough openings: Decades of settling, plus corroded steel lintels, leave openings that won’t accept a standard replacement unit. A full-frame replacement with PT lumber reframing and sill flashing is the permanent fix.
- Failed waterproofing and stucco patch-back: Poorly flashed old windows let water into the block, and once the unit comes out, the damage is visible. We flash every sill, schedule the HVHZ inspection, and patch stucco only after the city signs off.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL
Window replacement in Hollywood runs higher than inland Broward cities because of the HVHZ code requirement and the cost of Miami-Dade NOA compliant product. A single impact-rated vinyl insert window in Hollywood typically costs $900 to $1,500 installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, including picture windows and slider configurations, land between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages across a three-bedroom CBS ranch usually total $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count, floor height, frame material, and whether we’re doing full-frame or insert work. Full-frame costs more because of the reframing, flashing, permitting, and stucco patch-back it requires. We give free in-home measures and written line-item quotes.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood
Hollywood requires both a Florida Product Approval and a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, because the entire city sits within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. A window that passed inspection in Fort Lauderdale or Pembroke Pines with only a Florida Product Approval is not legal here, and the city’s inspector will red-tag it. We only quote Hollywood jobs with configurations carrying both approvals. Call (754) 310-3589 to confirm your windows will clear inspection before you buy.
Impact-rated windows on every opening can reduce the windstorm portion of your Citizens premium, but the discount only applies if a licensed inspector files a signed Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection form showing every opening is large-missile rated. Installing a few impact windows and leaving original jalousies elsewhere won’t trigger the credit. We’ll coordinate the inspection paperwork so you’re not chasing a discount that never posts. Call (754) 310-3589 for guidance on what your home actually needs.
Replacing leaky jalousies with properly sealed Low-E impact windows typically cuts the solar heat gain into your home by a noticeable margin, often in the range of 15 to 25 percent of cooling load on east- and west-facing elevations. Homes near the beach with constant afternoon sun see the quickest payoff because the glass blocks heat without blocking light. We’ll help you compare glass packages on paper during your free estimate. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule one.
Hollywood building code requires a permit for any full-frame replacement because the opening itself gets modified, and that means an HVHZ inspection before we close the wall. The inspector checks the NOA stickers, frame anchoring, flashing, and design pressure rating for the specific opening size. If a window lacks the right NOA, the inspection fails and the window comes out. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and hand you the signed card when it passes. Call (754) 310-3589 and we’ll walk you through the path for your exact home.
In most Hollywood homes with original aluminum frames from the 1960s and 1970s, glass-only replacement isn’t worth doing. The frames are usually corroded from salt air, the openings are out of square, and the result wouldn’t meet HVHZ impact requirements anyway. In rare cases where the frame is sound and carries the right NOA, we can replace the glass lite. We’ll inspect yours and tell you the truth. Call (754) 310-3589 for an honest assessment.
What Window Replacement Costs in Hollywood
Impact windows in Hollywood generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with single-hung models at $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like picture windows or oversized sliders, land between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages across a typical three-bedroom home start around $8,000 and go up from there, depending on how many openings need structural reframing. What moves the price in Hollywood specifically: the HVHZ requirement, the opening count, floor height on condo work, and whether the existing frames can take an insert or need a full-frame pull. We don’t quote from a book. We measure, inspect, and write a line-item quote you can hold. Call (754) 310-3589 for a free in-home measure.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida offers a stack of incentives that can offset the cost of impact-rated replacement windows in Hollywood. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors purchased for residential use. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. Windstorm premium credits after a certified wind-mitigation inspection average around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of your premium, and the inspection itself typically runs $75 to $150. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, not us. We’ll point you to the right paperwork and make sure your windows meet the technical bar. Call (754) 310-3589 to talk through what your Hollywood home qualifies for.
One honest comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront but you’re hanging panels in a storm, and if you’re away or injured, they don’t go up. Impact windows protect permanently, no panels to store, no pre-storm scramble. For a homeowner planning to stay in Hollywood for another twenty years, the calculation favors permanent protection installed once, inspected once, and done.
