AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Hollywood
Window installation in Hollywood, FL isn’t a one-size-fits-all job. Every single replacement, even one unit, has to meet Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, and that changes what products we quote, how we pull permits, and what a compliant installation actually looks like. TruePane Windows & Doors has been setting windows in Hollywood long enough to know the difference between a job that passes inspection and a job that protects your house when the next storm gets named. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll send a background-checked technician who knows this city’s housing stock and its permit office.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’re a second-generation glazier operation, not a franchise playbook. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still sits on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every window we set in Hollywood, from single-hung replacements in The Avenues to impact-rated casement rows facing the Atlantic.
Hollywood homeowners tend to keep their houses for twenty, thirty, forty years. They remember the contractor who left a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. We hear that in every phone call, and we answer it with a Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
Our Window Installation team includes uniformed technicians who live and work in South Florida, not rotating crews from out of state. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, but the crews serving Hollywood are local to this metro. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You call, a person picks up, and we schedule a measurement, not a callback.
Our Window Installation Services in Hollywood
We install, replace, and service windows throughout Hollywood, from the condos along A1A to the CBS ranch houses west of Federal Highway. Here’s what we do most often in this city.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are a workhorse for Hollywood’s wind-load requirements. They seal tighter against hurricane-driven rain than sliding windows do, and the compression seal holds up better in salt air. In The Avenues and Lakes neighborhoods, we replace 1950s and 60s steel or aluminum casements with Miami-Dade approved units from Andersen, Marvin, and PGT that carry full NOA documentation. A typical mid-range casement replacement in Hollywood runs $850 to $1,600 per window, installed, including permit.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and shed water better than almost any other style, which matters in a city where afternoon thunderstorms arrive sideways. We see a lot of them in Hollywood Beach condos where owners want ventilation without the spray coming in from the Atlantic. Marine-grade aluminum frames are the conversation on most jobs east of US-1, because standard vinyl gets brittle and chalky within a few years of salt exposure. Expect $500 to $900 per unit for standard sizes, more for impact-rated or custom openings.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed windows are about light and view, but in Hollywood they’re also about structure. A large picture window facing the ocean carries serious wind load, and the frame anchoring is just as important as the glass rating. We install fixed and picture windows in Hollywood homes and beachfront condos with impact-rated laminated glass and frames engineered for HVHZ pressures. A large stationary window, say 60 by 72 inches, typically runs $1,200 to $2,800 in Hollywood depending on glass package and frame material.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows are the most common style in Hollywood’s 1940s through 1970s CBS housing stock, and most of the original ones are single-pane, thermally broken, and nowhere near current flood-zone or hurricane-code compliant. We replace them with modern double-hung units that keep the same look but carry Florida Product Approval. A standard double-hung replacement in Hollywood costs between $600 and $1,100 per window installed, depending on size and impact rating.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we put quotes for different manufacturers side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. If you already have a brand you trust from a previous home, we likely service it. We keep common hardware, balances, and seal parts stocked for Hollywood customers, which means most repairs and small replacements happen in a single visit, not two or three. You’ll see the line-item breakdown before we start, and the final bill matches it.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- HVHZ permit rejection for missing NOA documentation. Hollywood Building Department inspectors routinely reject window permits that omit the full Miami-Dade NOA number and installation detail drawing on the application itself. Out-of-area contractors who are used to looser inland permitting lose weeks to this. We file the permit with the NOA number and detail drawing included the first time, because that’s table stakes in this city.
- Salt-spray frame corrosion east of US-1. The Atlantic eats aluminum frames. Within a few years, non-marine-grade aluminum shows pitting and white corrosion, and standard vinyl gets chalky and warps. Every job east of US-1 gets a real conversation about frame material, because choosing wrong means paying for the same window twice.
- Original jalousie windows that cannot be reglazed into compliance. Hollywood’s Avenues grid neighborhoods are packed with 1950s and 60s CBS homes that still have original aluminum jalousie windows. They offer virtually zero hurricane protection, they let conditioned air pour out, and no reglaze job brings them up to HVHZ code. Replacement is the only path, and it’s usually the highest-ROI dollar a Hollywood homeowner can spend on their envelope.
- Impact windows bought without documented NOA approval. We see this a lot: a homeowner pays for impact-rated windows from another installer, then can’t claim the insurance discount because the permit file is incomplete or the NOA number never got recorded. Compliance isn’t the glass. It’s the paper. We register both warranty layers and deliver the permit approval record before we leave the driveway.
Pricing for Window Installation in Hollywood, FL
In Hollywood, a single window replacement lands between $500 and $2,800 installed, depending on style, size, frame material, and whether it’s impact-rated. Here’s the honest breakdown: single or double hung runs $600 to $1,100 per window, casement $850 to $1,600, awning $500 to $900, and a large fixed or picture window $1,200 to $2,800. Impact glass adds 35 to 60 percent on top of base glass, and marine-grade aluminum frames add about 15 to 25 percent over standard aluminum, but east of US-1 that upgrade pays for itself when you’re not replacing corroded frames in year six. Every TruePane quote includes the permit fee, the NOA documentation, and both warranty registrations in writing. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free estimate with no change orders, ever.

FAQs - Window Installation in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood falls entirely within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every single window replacement, even one unit, requires a building permit and Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval documentation. We handle the permit application as part of every install, listing the NOA number and installation detail drawing on the application so the inspection doesn’t stall. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll walk you through what your specific opening requires.
No. Jalousie windows, the glass slat windows common on 1950s and 60s Hollywood CBS homes, cannot be reglazed or retrofitted into HVHZ compliance. The frame design itself doesn’t meet wind-load or impact standards, so replacement with impact-rated units is the only legal path to compliance. We replace jalousie openings with casement, awning, or fixed impact windows depending on the room and the elevation. An honest quote is the start of that conversation.
Hollywood Building Department inspectors check the permit application for the full Miami-Dade NOA number and the installation detail drawing that matches the product being installed, then verify the installed window matches that documentation during the on-site inspection. If the paper isn’t right, the job doesn’t pass, even if the glass is perfectly installed. That’s why we file the permit before we order product and why the NOA number sits on every line item in your quote. Call us for a quote that will actually pass.
In many cases, yes, but the discount depends on documented compliance, not just the glass. Hollywood insurers typically want to see proof of permitting, the final inspection approval, and the NOA number tied to the installed product before they’ll apply a wind mitigation credit. We deliver all three in your closeout packet, so you can file the discount paperwork immediately. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll tell you exactly what your insurer gets from us, in writing.
Marine-grade aluminum is the right choice for any window within a few blocks of the Atlantic in Hollywood Beach. Salt spray pocks and corrodes standard aluminum within a few years and degrades standard vinyl even faster, and condo association boards in the A1A corridor typically require exterior appearance standards that marine-grade aluminum handles without constant repainting. We quote marine-grade aluminum and reinforced vinyl side by side so the HOA and the owner both see the trade-offs clearly. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free estimate.
If you live in Hollywood and you’re tired of windows that fog, jam, leak, or fail the hurricane test, call us at (863) 264-3649. We’ll measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s the standard. That’s the promise. That’s TruePane.
