Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Hollywood
If you need custom windows and doors in Hollywood, FL, the short answer is this: every replacement has to meet Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, which means a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance on each unit, and the work has to pass Hollywood Building Division inspection. TruePane handles that paperwork and the install. We’ve been doing it long enough to know which products get approved and which ones get red-tagged at final. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk your Hollywood property line by line before we quote a number.
Hollywood is not a simple town to work in. Beachfront condos off A1A, concrete-block ranches in Hollywood Lakes, mid-century homes in Emerald Hills, and the older mid-rises along the Intracoastal all present different framing, different clearances, and different code requirements. A crew that learned windows in wood-frame suburbs gets surprised here. We don’t.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We work on tight Hollywood lots where staging a truck means blocking a neighbor’s driveway and where the Building Division inspector knows your job by address before you do. Our Custom Windows & Doors crews arrive with the materials sorted, the permit number written on the work order, and a plan for where every cutoff goes. That matters on a street in Hollywood Lakes where the houses sit eight feet apart.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 to fix a specific problem: installers skipping the pressure-treated wood buck when replacing jalousies in concrete block, leaving homeowners with windows that wobbled under wind load. That practice still happens in Hollywood. We see the results on warranty calls. Our crews cut out the old unit, anchor the buck correctly, and the rough opening ends up plumb enough to hold an impact-rated custom window without shimming a half-inch anywhere.
Our Hollywood customers call after the job more often than before it. Comments we hear: “The inspector passed it first time,” and “They swept the alley after.” We hold to work-hour ordinances, we don’t leave debris in the swale, and we treat shared walls in condo corridors like our own property. The Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood work we do stands up to the next named storm because we never shortcut the NOA paperwork.
Every job we run in Hollywood is backed by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave the driveway, durations stated, workmanship guaranteed with no fine-print argument. Live person answers the phone when you call. Dale’s rule sits on the whiteboard at the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Hollywood
We install, replace, and service custom windows and doors across Hollywood, including impact windows and doors, energy-efficient glass, sliding and patio doors, glass railing systems, and fully custom designs. Below are the services Hollywood calls us about most.
Custom Shape Windows
A radius-top window over a front door in Lakeside, a trapezoid transom in an Emerald Hills kitchen, a half-round accent in a Hollywood Beach tower unit. Every custom shape in Hollywood still has to carry a NOA label, which is where generic glass shops stall. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you know exactly what the arched unit costs and how long the lead time runs. We’ve installed arched PGT and Simonton shapes into block openings on Sheridan Street and Johnson Street without losing the reveal line.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites matter in Hollywood’s older neighborhoods, where a 1960s ranch on Polk Street needs the window pattern to match the original muntin profile or the whole elevation looks wrong. We match grille profiles from Jeld-Wen and Ply Gem so the new impact-rated unit reads like the house’s original glass, not a plastic add-on. The grilles mount between the panes on most double-pane impact units, which keeps them sealed away from salt air and easy to clean.

Oversized Glass Panels
Oceanfront and Intracoastal-facing walls in Hollywood use oversized fixed panels to open a view to the water. These panels often run eight to ten feet tall and have to be upgraded from ordinary tempered glass to HVHZ-rated laminated units with the matching NOA. On Hollywood Beach, we replace old clear-glass picture windows with impact-rated laminated panels that keep the sightline and meet wind-load requirements. The glass gets heavy enough that we coordinate a second tech and a suction rig for the set.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Cafes and shops along Hollywood Boulevard and Young Circle ask us for storefront glass updates, fogged seal replacements, and new entry doors. Salt corrosion eats steel frames and threshold hardware faster near the beach than it does two miles west. We replace rotted thresholds and hardware with coated or stainless components, then get the work through Hollywood’s commercial inspection process without a stop-work order. The permit history and the NOA record go on file.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and Ply Gem. For Hollywood customers, we stock common impact laminate, argon fill, and marine-grade hardware matched to those brands, which shortens the wait on a fogged-seal repair or a rotted patio door track. We don’t retail parts out of the truck, but we do keep the frequent-repair items on hand for Hollywood’s older condo stock off Hallandale Beach Boulevard.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Jalousie windows set straight into block. The 1950s and 1960s ranches around Hollywood have louvered units mortared directly into concrete openings, no wood framing. You cannot refit those. The opening gets cut, pressure-treated bucks get anchored, and a proper HVHZ unit goes in. Skip the buck and you’ll chase leaks forever.
- Salt-air corrosion on frames and rollers. A sliding glass door off a Hollywood Beach condo can stop rolling within two years of the last replacement if the rollers and tracks were plain aluminum. We spec coated rollers, marine-grade stainless hardware, and factory-finished frames for the oceanfront strip.
- Wind-driven rain around old seals. Hollywood sits in a high-frequency hurricane corridor. Aging gaskets and dried butyl let rain blow sideways through the sill on the east wall every summer. We replace the sash or reglaze the unit, then re-anchor the exterior flash flange.
- Non-NOA custom shapes red-tagged at inspection. A homeowner orders a pretty half-round from an out-of-state supplier, and Hollywood’s Building Division spots the missing Miami-Dade NOA at final inspection. The unit comes out. We pull the permit first and order the right product the first time.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL
What can you expect to pay in Hollywood? A single custom arched or radius window in impact glass runs $1,600 to $3,800 installed, depending on rough-opening prep and finish. Architectural grilles with SDL profiles add $250 to $600 per opening. Oversized laminated impact panels for an oceanfront living room wall start around $2,800 and reach $7,000 or more for ten-foot spans. A jalousie-to-casement conversion on a concrete-block ranch in Hollywood typically falls between $1,100 and $2,400 per opening, including cutting out the old frame, installing the wood buck, setting the new HVHZ unit, and flashing the exterior. If hidden block damage turns up around the rough opening, we show you a photo and a line-item quote before any repair work proceeds. Free estimate comes to you, on site, in writing. Call (863) 591-8673 to schedule yours.
We’re happy to write a fixed-price proposal with the permit fee as a separate line so you know exactly what Hollywood’s Building Division charges. No surprise line items on the final bill. That’s a square deal, and we put it in writing.
We’ll Be There When We Say
TruePane runs scheduled service calls in Hollywood with a live person answering the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A uniformed, background-checked tech shows up at the time on the work order. If a job requires a second visit because of a manufacturer lead time, you know that before we leave the first time. We measure twice, quote side by side, and register both warranty layers before we pull off the street.
Key Takeaways
- Every custom window and door in Hollywood must carry a Miami-Dade NOA. Our permits and product submittals meet Hollywood Building Division requirements.
- 1950s and 1960s block ranches need proper wood-buck installation before impact units go in. We do it the way Hollywood inspectors expect.
- Salt air near the beach and Intracoastal eats standard hardware fast. We spec marine-grade components on oceanfront jobs.
- Free estimate in writing, with manufacturer lines quoted side by side and both warranty layers registered before we finish.

Dispatch and scheduling for Hollywood jobs are coordinated from our South FL office, with local crews serving the city daily. Call (863) 591-8673 to confirm your neighborhood.
How We Work on a Tight Hollywood Lot
Most Hollywood homes on the east side sit close together, with narrow driveways and street parking contested. That’s normal for us. We arrive with materials pre-cut where possible, stage the truck so it doesn’t block the neighbor’s car, and lay down tarps to catch stucco chips and old glazing. Condo work along the Intracoastal often means service elevators, freight loading windows, and a building rule about noise. We follow all of it because the alternative is a stop-work order and a black mark on the permit.
When you request a quote for a shared-wall condo or a south-side zero-lot-line home, tell us in advance. The access path changes the quote. A three-story walk-up in a Hollywood Beach condo with no service elevator costs more in labor time than a ground-floor ranch in Emerald Hills. We’ll walk the job before we write the number, and the number you get is the number you pay.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Hollywood falls entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every window and door replacement has to carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA), the most stringent product-approval standard in the United States. An impact-rated window without a matching NOA for its size, shape, and installation method will be rejected at inspection. We order only HVHZ-approved product lines and fill out the Building Division paperwork so the permit closes clean. Call (863) 591-8673 if you’ve already been red-tagged; we can review the submittal and fix it.
The right method is to cut out the louvered frame without cracking the surrounding stucco, anchor pressure-treated wood bucks into the concrete rough opening, then fasten the new HVHZ-rated window to the buck with tapcons or masonry anchors and flashing tape. In the Hollywood Lakes neighborhood, we pulled a row of original jalousies out of CBS block, set the bucks clean, and fastened new impact casements in place. The homeowner stopped mopping up after summer squalls. The slow part was freeing the old frames; the reveal ended up dead-flat.
On a zero-lot-line home or a condo unit with a party wall, Hollywood’s Building Division typically requires the work to be documented before the permit is issued, and some condo associations call for a unit-owner notice before we start. We pull the permit, submit the NOA product sheets, and notify the adjacent owner or property manager in writing. The install itself has to comply with Hollywood’s noise and work-hour ordinances, which we schedule around. If your neighbor’s wall is five feet from your window rough opening, we’ll stage carefully and keep the site clean every day.
The wind-load calculation is higher on Hollywood’s oceanfront strip than in inland Broward, so the laminated impact glass for an oversized fixed panel is usually thicker and the framing has to be engineered for the specific address. The panel still carries a Miami-Dade NOA, but the structural requirements step up near the beach and along the Intracoastal because of exposure category and wind speed design. We order the panel to the address’s exposure. Get a written quote from us at (863) 591-8673 and you’ll see the engineering numbers on the proposal.
We plan the truck and material staging around your actual driveway and street width, not a generic site plan. Materials come pre-cut from the shop where possible, the dump trailer sits only where it’s allowed, and we sweep the swale at the end of each day. We also keep noise inside Hollywood’s work-hour window and tell the immediate neighbors when the hammer work will happen. It’s simple: be on time, be quiet when the city says quiet, and leave the street cleaner than we found it. That’s how we keep the phone ringing from word of mouth on this side of Federal Highway.
