Window Replacement in Hollywood - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood

Replacing windows in Hollywood, FL isn’t a cosmetic decision. Every unit you swap out, even a single opening in a 1955 CBS ranch off Hollywood Boulevard, has to meet Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. That means a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval, no exceptions and no grandfathering. TruePane Windows & Doors has been setting impact-rated glass in Hollywood homes long enough to know exactly what the Hollywood Building Department wants on the permit application before a single measurement is taken. If you’re weighing a replacement, call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll walk you through what your house actually needs. Not what a brochure says.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

TruePane is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded the company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s not a slogan. It’s the standard our Hollywood crews work to on every jalousie tear-out, every condo window on the A1A corridor, and every full-frame replacement west of US-1.

Hollywood homeowners call us because we speak the local permitting language. We know that a permit for a window replacement in Hollywood gets bounced if the Miami-Dade NOA number and the installation detail drawing aren’t on the application from the start. We know that a jalousie window on a 1960s concrete-block house can’t be reglazed into HVHZ compliance, no matter what a handyman says. We know that a condo board on Hollywood Beach will reject a frame profile that doesn’t match the building’s exterior appearance standards. That’s local knowledge you only get from doing the work here, year after year.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re paying for before you sign. And both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s on every job we do in Hollywood.

Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement means the entire window comes out, including the frame and sill, down to the rough opening. In Hollywood, this is the default for most homes built between the 1940s and 1970s. The original aluminum frames on those CBS houses are almost always corroded, out of square, or built around jalousie sashes that were never impact-rated. A full frame replacement lets us install a fusion-welded, HVHZ-compliant unit with new flashing and a proper sill pan, which is what the Hollywood Building Department wants to see. A typical full frame impact replacement in Hollywood runs $900 to $1,800 per opening, depending on size and glass package.

Insert Window Replacement

An insert, sometimes called a pocket replacement, fits a new window into the existing frame. It’s less invasive and costs less than a full frame job, and it works when the original frame is still square and structurally sound. On Hollywood homes, that’s less common than you’d think. Salt air east of US-1 eats aluminum frames fast, and once the frame is compromised, an insert won’t hold a seal. For condos on Hollywood Beach where the HOA restricts exterior changes, inserts are often the only approved option. Plan on $600 to $1,200 per opening for a standard impact insert in Hollywood.

Storm Window Replacement

Storm windows are a secondary layer mounted outside or inside the primary window. In Hollywood, they’re sometimes requested by homeowners who aren’t ready to replace original wood or aluminum units but want an extra barrier. Here’s the honest truth: a storm window will not bring a non-impact primary window into HVHZ compliance. If your house has original jalousies or single-pane casements, adding storms doesn’t satisfy the code and won’t satisfy your insurance carrier. We’ll tell you that plainly before we sell you anything. Storm window replacement in Hollywood typically runs $350 to $700 per unit, but we’ll only recommend it when it actually makes sense.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Hollywood’s coastal humidity and year-round AC load make window efficiency a real money conversation. The right low-E glass with argon fill cuts solar heat gain and reduces the load on your air handler, which matters in a city where cooling season runs ten months a year. We quote PGT, CGI, and ES Windows energy packages side by side, with SHGC and U-factor numbers on paper. An energy-efficient impact window in Hollywood runs $700 to $1,500 per opening installed, with the higher end reflecting triple-coat low-E and reinforced frames. Most Hollywood homeowners see the difference on their FPL bill within the first summer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hollywood work we lean hard on PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. Those three carry extensive Miami-Dade NOA listings, which is exactly what Hollywood inspectors want to see on the permit. PGT’s WinGuard and CGI’s Sentinel lines are workhorses for the CBS houses in The Avenues; ES Windows gives us a strong aluminum option for mid-rise condos where the HOA wants a specific sightline. We stock common hardware and parts for these lines locally, so a post-install adjustment doesn’t mean waiting two weeks on a factory shipment. We register both warranty layers in writing, every time, on every Hollywood job.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Corroded aluminum frames east of US-1. Salt spray from the Atlantic eats raw mill aluminum within three to five years. Frames get pitted, jambs seize, and the manufacturer warranty dies with the corrosion. That’s why we recommend marine-grade aluminum or reinforced vinyl on anything east of Federal Highway.
• Original jalousie windows on 1950s and 1960s CBS houses. The Avenues and surrounding neighborhoods are full of them. They offer almost no wind-load resistance, they leak conditioned air constantly, and they can’t legally be reglazed into HVHZ compliance. The only fix is a full tear-out and impact-rated replacement.
• Permit rejections for missing NOA documentation. Hollywood Building Department inspectors won’t even schedule a measurement if the permit application lacks the full Miami-Dade NOA number and an installation detail drawing. Out-of-town contractors trip on this constantly. We submit it on every application as a matter of routine.
• HOA strictures on Hollywood Beach condos. The A1A corridor is a different animal. Condo boards regulate frame color, sightline, and exterior profile, and some won’t approve a window that changes the building’s appearance. We’ve navigated enough of those board submissions to know what flies and what stalls.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood

Do I really need a Miami-Dade NOA window in Hollywood if I’m only replacing one unit?

Yes. Hollywood sits entirely within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and there is no grandfathering exception. A single replacement window must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Florida Product Approval for impact resistance, and the permit application must list the NOA number. A window without that documentation fails inspection and leaves your home out of compliance with its insurance policy. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll pull the right NOA for your opening before we quote.

Why did the Hollywood building inspector stop my window permit?

Almost always, it’s a missing NOA number or a missing installation detail drawing. Hollywood Building Department reviewers reject HVHZ window permits that don’t include the full Miami-Dade NOA number and the manufacturer’s installation detail drawing on the application itself. Out-of-town contractors who work inland permits don’t know this step exists. We submit both on every Hollywood permit we pull. If yours got stopped, call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll tell you exactly what to resubmit.

Can I reglaze my old jalousie windows to meet code?

No. Original jalousie sashes from the 1950s and 1960s are not reglazable into HVHZ compliance. The louvered glass panels, the aluminum clips, the entire frame design cannot be modified to meet impact or wind-load requirements. The only code-compliant fix is a full replacement with an impact-rated window that carries a Miami-Dade NOA. That’s the answer we give every homeowner in The Avenues, and it’s the answer that keeps their insurance valid. A full frame replacement on those houses runs $900 to $1,800 per opening.

What frame material do you recommend for a condo on Hollywood Beach?

Marine-grade aluminum or reinforced vinyl. Raw mill aluminum on a beachfront condo east of US-1 corrodes within three to five years from salt spray, and once the jamb hardware seizes, the manufacturer’s warranty is void. We recommend reinforced frames that hold up to the coastal exposure, and we’ve seen enough Hollywood Beach board approvals to know which profiles the associations will accept. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll tell you what your building’s standards allow.

How does a documented HVHZ-compliant window replacement affect my insurance claim?

After a storm, an insurance adjuster asks for two things: the wind-load rating of the glass and the NOA documentation that proves it. If your windows were replaced with impact-rated units and the NOA number is on file with your permit, your claim moves cleanly. If not, the adjuster has grounds to deny water-damage claims tied to the windows. In Hollywood, documented compliance is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. That’s why we register both warranty layers and file your permit documentation before we leave the driveway. The Done Right Promise backs it in writing.
