Impact Windows in Hollywood - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Hollywood

Window Replacement in Hollywood typically runs $800 to $1,500 per window for standard openings, with whole-home packages starting around $8,000. Every replacement must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance because Hollywood sits entirely inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That requirement changes what products qualify, how the permit gets filed, and what your insurer will accept. If you’re replacing original jalousie windows in a 1960s CBS ranch or upgrading a condo near the Broadwalk, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (754) 310-3589 for a written, line-item quote.

Call (754) 310-3589

We work throughout Hollywood, from the 33019 zip along the beach corridor to the 33024 neighborhoods west of I-95. Our crews know which elevations take the worst salt exposure, which older frames fail inspection, and what the city’s building department looks for on an HVHZ final inspection. That local knowledge keeps your job moving and your insurance documentation clean.

Key Takeaways for Hollywood Homeowners

• Hollywood is entirely HVHZ. Your windows need a Miami-Dade NOA, not just Florida Product Approval. Fort Lauderdale and Broward inland suppliers don’t always carry products that meet that bar.
• Replacing original jalousie windows is the single most common trigger for a call we get from Hollywood homeowners. Citizens wind-mitigation inspections flag them, and premiums follow.
• A permitted, inspected installation is what your insurer needs to apply windstorm credits. An unpermitted install leaves you with windows and no documentation.
• TruePane has served South Florida for over 42 years through Dale Kessler’s craft roots. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard, with both warranty layers registered in writing.

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

Homeowners in Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, and along the beach corridor tend to call us after they’ve already been through one bad install or one insurance non-renewal. They’re not looking for the cheapest bid. They’re looking for a company that answers the phone, shows up on time, and puts the warranty in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s how we work, and it’s why a large share of our Hollywood jobs come from referrals by neighbors who’ve seen the difference on paper.

Our founder, Dale Kessler, keeps one rule on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That governs every install we do from A1A to the western edge of the city. We don’t rush an opening, and we don’t leave a job until the sashes operate square and the seal is clean. In Hollywood, where the salt air punishes sloppy flashing and the wind loads punish undersized frames, that standard matters more than most places in the country.

Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying and why. And a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no call center, no callback form. When you call (754) 310-3589, you’re talking to someone who can actually help.

Our Impact Windows Services in Hollywood

Impact-Rated Glazing

Hollywood’s HVHZ designation means impact-rated glazing here must meet large-missile impact and cyclic pressure requirements. That’s a higher bar than what’s accepted in many Broward cities farther inland. We install laminated glass systems that carry Miami-Dade NOA documentation per configuration, and we match the design pressure rating to the opening. On beachfront condos under a mile from the Broadwalk, we also specify marine-grade frames and hardware because the salt air eats standard aluminum within five to seven years.

Laminated Glass Interlayer

The interlayer is what keeps an impact window intact when debris hits it. Cheap products use thinner interlayers or skip the edge seal quality that Hollywood’s humidity demands. We spec laminated glass with interlayers matched to the wind zone and elevation of each opening, and we verify the NOA label for every unit before it leaves the shop. When the city inspector checks for the label on a final, it’s there.

Double-Hung

Many Hollywood Hills ranchers were built with jalousie windows, not double-hungs. When we replace them, we’re converting a louvered opening into a fully sealed, impact-rated double-hung that meets current HVHZ code. That means reframing the opening, sealing the concrete buck, and pulling the permit. The result is a window that actually opens and closes without leaking air, and one your insurer can document as a wind-mitigation credit.

Casement

Casement windows are common on the 1950s and 1960s concrete block homes throughout Hollywood, and they’re one of the better-performing impact styles because the sash compresses against the frame for a tighter seal. We install PGT, CGI, and ES Windows in Hollywood with NOA-rated configurations. On east-facing elevations near the beach, we recommend powder-coated or marine-grade finishes. Standard mill aluminum will pit, and we’ve seen sashes jam within a few years when the wrong finish goes in.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hollywood’s HVHZ market we work most often with CGI, CWS, and PGT because they carry Miami-Dade NOA configurations across enough sizes to fit the city’s oddball 1960s openings. We quote side by side on paper so you can compare what you’re actually getting, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s on every job we do in Hollywood.

You can see how this fits into our broader Impact Windows service across South Florida, but the products and the permitting are different here. Hollywood’s HVHZ requirements are not optional, and not every window that gets sold in Broward County meets them.

Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Jalousie retrofits without a Miami-Dade NOA. A homeowner replaces the louvers with a non-HVHZ impact product that has Florida Product Approval but no Miami-Dade NOA. Hollywood’s building inspector fails it. The windows come out, and the job starts over. We see this at least twice a month.
• Pitted aluminum frames on east-facing elevations. Homes and condos within a mile of the Broadwalk take constant salt-air exposure. Non-marine-grade aluminum pits and the sash binds within five years. The fix is a marine-grade frame or a powder-coated finish, spec’d from the start.
• Unpermitted installs with no paper trail. The windows are fine. The install was not. Without the Hollywood permit and final inspection, there’s no documentation for your insurer’s wind-mitigation credit. You’re left with impact windows and the same windstorm premium.
• Mismatched design pressure ratings. A window with a low PSF rating goes into a second-floor opening on a corner lot. It meets the letter of Florida code but not the actual wind load for that opening. On a direct hit, that’s the window that fails first.

What Impact Windows Costs in Hollywood

Here’s the honest math for Hollywood, not a national average. Standard impact windows in this market run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hungs land a little higher, typically $900 to $1,800 because the conversion from jalousie or a single-pane aluminum slider almost always means reframing the rough opening and sealing the concrete buck. Large or custom openings, which are common in the beach corridor’s mid-rise condos and in ranches with wide living-room sliders, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages across a three-bedroom ranch in Emerald Hills or Hollywood Hills usually fall between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on opening count, frame material, and elevation.

What moves the price in Hollywood specifically: the HVHZ requirement (lower-cost non-NOA products are off the table), how many openings need reframing rather than a straight pocket replacement, and whether the building is within the salt-air zone east of US-1, which pushes the spec toward marine-grade hardware. We give you a free in-home measure and a written quote with every line item on it. No change orders buried in the fine print. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule it.

Florida Pays You Back

There’s real money available to Hollywood homeowners who upgrade to impact-rated windows, and the stack matters. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On top of that, the federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, Hollywood homeowners often see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The final numbers come from your insurer and the program administrators, not from us, but the documentation we provide after a permitted, inspected install is what makes those credits possible.

One comparison we make often in Hollywood: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only help when someone is home to hang them, and they do nothing for daily noise, UV, or air leakage. Impact windows protect the opening 24/7 with no panels to store and no wind-load setup on a Saturday at 2 a.m. before a storm. We don’t sell or install shutters, but we’ll be honest about the comparison.

What Hollywood’s HVHZ Code Actually Requires

Here’s what makes Hollywood different from almost everywhere else in the country. The entire city lies inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind zone in the state, shared only with Miami-Dade County. Every replacement door and window installation in Hollywood must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval standard dramatically stricter than what’s required just north in Palm Beach County. That means a window that’s perfectly legal in Pompano Beach or Lake Worth Beach will fail a Hollywood building inspection if it lacks the NOA.

The city’s residential core is dominated by concrete block stucco ranch homes built between roughly 1950 and 1975. Most still have their original jalousie louvered windows or single-pane aluminum sliders. Those products predate any hurricane-impact requirement, and they don’t just perform poorly in a storm. They’re flagged by Citizens Property Insurance wind-mitigation inspectors as non-compliant, which drives premium hikes or outright non-renewal. In practice, a significant share of our Hollywood leads arrive pre-sold on replacement by their insurer, not by a contractor’s pitch. The question isn’t whether to replace. It’s whether you’ll have documentation the insurer accepts when you do.

A Job in Emerald Hills

In Emerald Hills, our crew pulled a 1963 CBS ranch’s original jalousie windows after a Citizens wind-mitigation inspection flagged them as non-compliant. We installed PGT 7600 series aluminum casements with Miami-Dade NOA, sealing the concrete buck with elastomeric caulk before the city’s HVHZ inspection. The homeowner’s insurance renewal came back with the windstorm credit applied on the first cycle. That’s the sequence Hollywood homeowners need: the right product, the right permit, the right inspection, and the paperwork to prove it. We handle all four.
