Door Installation in Hollywood - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Hollywood

Door installation in Hollywood, FL comes with a hard rule: every replacement door, even a single entry unit, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or Florida Product Approval for impact resistance. There are no grandfathering exceptions anywhere in the city, and the Hollywood Building Department rejects HVHZ permits that omit the full NOA number and installation detail drawing on the application itself. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we handle that paperwork as table stakes before we ever measure an opening. If you’re pricing a new entry door, French doors, or a storm door in Hollywood, call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what the job requires and what it costs.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Door Installation Company

We’ve spent years working Hollywood’s housing stock, and it’s not like working inland Broward. The Avenues grid alone is dense with 1950s and 1960s CBS ranchers whose original door openings were framed for aluminum units that have been corroding in the salt air for six decades. When a Hollywood homeowner calls us about a door that binds in July or a sill pan that’s pitted through, we already know the house type, the typical framing condition, and what the Building Department will want to see on the permit.

Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install we do: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters more in Hollywood than almost anywhere else in South Florida. A door that’s out of true by a quarter inch becomes a water intrusion problem in a hurricane. We don’t rush that. Our technicians measure every opening twice, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Call (863) 264-3649 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our Door Installation Services in Hollywood

Entry and Swing Doors

Entry door replacement in Hollywood is a two-part job: the physical install and the permit submittal. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what a marine-grade impact-rated door costs versus a standard inland unit. For homes east of US-1, we recommend marine-grade frames as a matter of course. Salt spray off the Atlantic corrodes standard aluminum jamb flanges within three to five years, and by the time you see the pitting, the seal has already started to fail. We install the door with flashing tape at the jamb and a full NOA submittal to the Hollywood Building Department, then schedule the inspection to match your timeline, not the other way around.

A typical impact-rated entry door installation in Hollywood runs $2,800 to $6,500, depending on glazing, frame material, and whether the rough opening needs reframing.

Double and French Doors

French doors on an Avenues rancher or a Hollywood Lakes bungalow are a classic upgrade, but they carry a structural load that single doors don’t. The header span over a double opening has to be checked before we order anything. In many of the 1940s and 1950s CBS homes across Hollywood, the original header is undersized for a modern impact-rated double door system, and that framing correction has to be on the quote, not discovered halfway through the job. We quote it honestly up front. Most Hollywood French door replacements run $4,200 to $9,800 installed, including the permit and the NOA paperwork.

Storm Doors

Storm doors in Hollywood serve two purposes: they protect the primary entry door from direct salt spray and driving rain, and they add a second layer of impact resistance. But be careful with what you buy. A cheap hollow storm door from a big-box store will not meet HVHZ code if it’s installed as part of a permitted replacement, and an inspector can flag it on a re-sale inspection. We stock impact-rated storm doors with reinforced frames and marine-grade hardware. Expect $900 to $2,400 for a properly installed, code-compliant storm door in Hollywood.

Pivot Doors

Pivot doors are growing in Hollywood’s newer luxury builds, particularly along the A1A corridor and in the beachfront condo towers. They’re heavy, they require precise floor and header pivot alignment, and the thermal expansion of a large glass panel in direct South Florida sun is real. If the pivot is off even slightly, the door sags and the reveal goes uneven within a season. We install pivot doors with factory-specified pivot hardware and adjust them on site after the door has sat in the house for a full day. Hollywood pivot door installations typically run $6,500 to $14,000, depending on slab size and hardware grade.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we quote them side by side on paper so you can compare what you’re actually buying. For Hollywood homes east of US-1, we most often recommend Milgard and Jeld-Wen marine-grade lines for their corrosion resistance and NOA-certified impact glazing. Inland, Simonton and Ply Gem reinforced vinyl frames hold up well and keep the price down without sacrificing the HVHZ compliance Hollywood requires. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll walk you through the differences on a written quote, not a sales pitch.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Fogged insulated glass in entry doors. When argon leaks out between double panes, the U-factor spikes and the door stops insulating. In Hollywood’s humidity, the fog you see is condensation you can’t wipe off. The fix is a new glazing unit, and on an HVHZ door that means a full impact-rated panel, not a cheap reglaze.
• Permit rejections over missing NOA numbers. Hollywood inspectors routinely bounce door permits that don’t include the full Miami-Dade NOA number and installation detail drawing on the application itself. Out-of-area contractors miss this, the job stalls for weeks, and the homeowner is stuck with a door leaning against the garage wall. We file it right the first time.
• Corroded jambs and sill pans on beachfront units. Salt spray east of US-1 eats standard aluminum frames inside a few years. Once the jamb flange pitts through, water follows, and then the HOA’s exterior appearance standards become the least of your problems. Marine-grade frames are a fix we recommend before the damage starts.
• Non-impact-rated doors flagged at re-sale. Hollywood’s HVHZ code requires impact-rated glazing on every replacement door, even a single entry unit. A homeowner who had a standard door installed years ago by a contractor who didn’t pull permits can get caught at closing. It’s an expensive surprise, and it’s entirely avoidable.
