Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood
Window replacement in Hollywood means working inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that changes everything about the job. Every window we install here must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance, the strictest product-approval standard in the country. If you’re in Hollywood Lakes, Emerald Hills, or along the Intracoastal, you’re dealing with salt air, 1950s and 1960s construction, and a codebook that does not allow shortcuts. TruePane has been handling this specific combination for years, and we answer the phone at (863) 591-8673 when you’re ready to talk about your house.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re not the cheapest bid in Hollywood, and we don’t try to be. We’re the crew that shows up when we say, measures every opening twice, and writes both warranty layers into the contract before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s been our baseline since Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008. The Done Right Promise sits behind every job: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing about who’s responsible.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, working in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and plan to still be answering the phone in Broward County thirty years from now. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a Hollywood homeowner calls about a failed seal or a door that binds, they talk to a human who knows the trade.
We’ve replaced windows in Hollywood homes from the beachfront condos on South Ocean Drive to the ranch houses off Sheridan Street and Taft Street. The work is different here than it is twenty minutes inland, and we plan for that from the first measurement.
Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood
Most Hollywood homes need one of four approaches. Here’s what each one involves, and what we see most often in this city’s housing stock.
Full Frame Replacement
This is the work Hollywood’s 1950s and 1960s concrete block ranch homes usually require. The old jalousie windows set directly into block rough openings with no wood framing behind them cannot be retrofitted meaningfully. We cut the old unit out, anchor pressure-treated wood bucks, and install an HVHZ-approved window that actually seals against wind-driven rain. A full frame replacement in Hollywood typically runs $1,100-$2,600 per opening depending on size, manufacturer, and how much structural repair the opening needs.

Insert Window Replacement
If your existing window frames are still square and solid, an insert replacement fits a new sash and glass unit inside the old frame. This works well on some of the newer Hollywood construction, roughly 1980s and later, where frames weren’t eaten by salt spray yet. Inserts run $700-$1,500 per window in this market. The catch in Hollywood is that inserts only make sense if the original frame meets current HVHZ anchoring standards. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you on the first visit, not after the contract is signed.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Many Hollywood homeowners want to cut their electric bill, and the right glass package does that. Low-E coatings, argon or krypton gas fill, and insulated frames make a measurable difference on a CBS ranch that still has original single-pane jalousies. An energy-efficient upgrade in Hollywood typically runs $850-$2,000 per window depending on glass package and frame material. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re paying for, including the solar heat gain coefficient rating that matters for south-facing walls.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we specify CGI, PGT, and ES Windows often in Hollywood because their HVHZ-approved product lines match this city’s code requirements well. We also work with Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and Milgard when the job calls for them. If you have an existing warranty on a window we didn’t install, we can still service it. Our Window Replacement team stocks common hardware and seal components locally, which means less waiting on parts.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Jalousie windows corroded by salt spray. Original aluminum louvered windows on 1950s and 1960s homes oxidize badly within a few blocks of the ocean. The louvers seize, the frames pit, and there’s no repair path that makes them impact-compliant. They have to come out.
- Wind-driven rain around aging seals. Hollywood’s position on the Atlantic coast combined with HVHZ wind-design pressures means water infiltration around old window seals is a year-round complaint here, not just a June-through-November concern. We see it on original 1950s frames constantly.
- Concrete-block rough openings with no wood behind them. Contractors from inland Broward cities often quote these jobs as direct replacements. Then the installer shows up, finds no wood buck, and the price changes. We plan for the buck work from the first measurement and write it into the contract upfront.
- Corroded sliding glass door tracks. Along Hollywood Beach and the Intracoastal corridor, aluminum door tracks and rollers degrade fast in the salt air. We replace the entire door unit with HVHZ-rated products rather than polishing a track that will fail again in three years.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL
Here’s what Hollywood homeowners should expect to pay, in real numbers. Insert replacements run $700-$1,500 per window. Full frame replacements on concrete-block homes run $1,100-$2,600 per opening. Energy-efficient upgrades with premium Low-E glass packages run $850-$2,000 per window. Sliding glass door replacements, which Hollywood’s beachside condos need frequently due to salt corrosion, run $2,800-$6,500 per door depending on size and whether the surrounding concrete needs repair.
What moves the price: the condition of the rough opening, whether wood bucks must be anchored, the glass package you choose, and how many windows you’re replacing at once. We give written line-item quotes with no surprise entries on the final bill. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate. We’ll come out, measure, and put numbers on paper before you commit to anything.
How TruePane Handles Surprises on Older Hollywood Homes
When we open up a wall on a 1950s or 1960s Hollywood home, we find things the homeowner couldn’t see: outdated wiring running through the window framing, rot where water sat against the block for decades, failed waterproofing behind the stucco. A permit inspection may trigger code upgrades that weren’t in the original scope. This is the single biggest reason a window replacement quote moves once work starts.
Our approach is inspection first. Before we write the contract, we look for evidence of what’s behind the wall. Then we write allowances into the contract for the likely conditions: wood buck replacement, minor concrete repair, re-flashing, and sealing. If something genuinely unexpected turns up, we stop, show you the condition, and give you a written price for approval before we touch it. You never get a surprise line item on the final bill that you didn’t approve in writing along the way. That’s the square deal we’ve operated on since day one.
On a 1960s CBS ranch in Hollywood Lakes, our crew removed original aluminum jalousie windows set directly into concrete block with no wood framing, then anchored pressure-treated wood bucks before installing ViewLux casement windows with impact-rated glazing and flashing tape. That hidden labor step doesn’t exist on a wood-frame home in Davie. We knew it was coming because we know Hollywood construction.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood
Because Hollywood falls entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every window and door replacement must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA). A standard “impact-rated” window that meets Florida Building Code isn’t enough here. Products without an NOA don’t pass Hollywood’s Building Division inspection. We specify only HVHZ-approved products from manufacturers like CGI, PGT, and ES Windows. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll explain exactly which products qualify for your house.
Pembroke Pines homes are mostly wood-frame construction, so a window replacement can often be done as a direct swap into an existing wood opening. Your Hollywood CBS ranch likely has windows set directly into concrete block with no wood framing behind them. The installer has to anchor pressure-treated wood bucks before any HVHZ-rated window can be fastened. That’s real labor, and contractors who don’t know Hollywood construction often leave it out of the quote. We write it into the contract from the start, so the price you’re quoted is the price you pay. Call (863) 591-8673 for a line-item estimate that includes the buck work.
We inspect first, write allowances into the contract for likely conditions, and if something unexpected appears, we stop work, show you the condition, and get your written approval on a price before proceeding. You don’t pay for anything you didn’t approve. That’s been our practice since Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll walk your house with you before writing anything down.
Yes. Hollywood’s direct Atlantic exposure means chronic salt-spray oxidation on aluminum frames, steel hardware, and door rollers. That’s what’s corroding your tracks. The fog between panes is a failed seal, which happens faster in salt air because the seal materials degrade quicker. Both conditions mean replacement, not repair. Sliding glass door replacement in Hollywood runs $2,800-$6,500 per door with HVHZ-rated units. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free measurement.
Yes, especially on a CBS ranch with original single-pane jalousies. Low-E coatings and insulated frames reduce the solar heat gain that forces your air conditioner to run longer from spring through fall. The savings depend on your home’s orientation, existing insulation, and how many windows face south and west. We can walk you through expected performance on paper before you buy. Call (863) 591-8673 for a free estimate and we’ll show you the numbers.
If you’re in Hollywood and your windows are original, failing, or just not keeping the weather out, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (863) 591-8673. We’ll measure, quote, and give you a written contract with both warranty layers stated before any work begins. Free estimates, no pressure, and a live person on the phone whenever you call.
