AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Hollywood
A door replacement in Hollywood, FL typically runs $900-$3,400 for a standard entry door and $2,800-$9,500 for an impact-rated unit, depending on the opening’s condition and whether the frame needs rebuilding. Most jobs take one day once the permit clears, though Hollywood’s dual-permit requirement adds a few days of lead time that homeowners should plan for. TruePane Windows & Doors handles the entire process, from the Miami-Dade NOA and Broward County product approval verification to the final trim and hardware. Call (954) 280-4413 and a live person will answer, 24/7.
We know Hollywood not as a stop on the route, but as a place where our crews work every week. From the 1950s CBS homes off Hollywood Boulevard to the aging condo towers along the Intracoastal, this city has its own building stock, its own salt-air problems, and its own permitting headaches. That’s the job. We plan around all three.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who started with a simple rule written on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule still governs every door we set in Hollywood. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, and PGT, and we put both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. No paper fights later.
Hollywood homeowners call us because we understand what this city’s building department actually requires. Every replacement door here must carry both a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and a Broward County product approval before a permit can be pulled. That’s a dual-check step that doesn’t exist up in Palm Beach County, and it’s one of the most common places we see other contractors stumble. We verify both before we ever touch your wall.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. Most door installations in Hollywood are completed in a single visit. And when the job’s done, the Done Right Promise stands behind it: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no fine print.
Our Door Installation Services in Hollywood
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry doors on Hollywood’s east side take a beating from salt air and hurricane season. A standard steel or fiberglass swing door in Hollywood runs $900-$2,100 installed, but when we pull an old door off a 1960s CBS home, we often find the rough opening has shifted or the header is undersized for current code. That’s where the real cost can move. We inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we proceed.
Storm Doors
Storm doors protect your primary entry door from the salt spray and driving rain that roll in off the Atlantic. In Hollywood, a quality storm door installation typically runs $450-$1,100, depending on the framing condition and whether we’re adding impact-rated glazing. For homes west of I-95, a standard storm door does the job. For anything east of US-1 or along the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk corridor, we recommend impact-rated glass to hold up to windborne debris.
Double & French Doors
French doors are common in Hollywood’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, opening onto patios and screened lanais. A new double French door system in Hollywood runs $2,400-$6,800, with impact-rated PGT or CGI units pushing toward the higher end. Older frames here are frequently racked or rotted at the sills, and we routinely rebuild rough openings before the new doors are set. That’s not an upsell; it’s what the wall demands.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and multi-panel folding doors are becoming the standard for Hollywood homes with Intracoastal or pool views, where the entire wall opens to the outdoors. Expect $4,500-$12,000 for a folding door system in Hollywood, depending on panel count, glass package, and whether the header needs reinforcement. These doors are heavy, and the track and header engineering matters more than the panels themselves. We don’t cut corners on the structure behind them.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are a statement piece, and Hollywood’s modern waterfront builds are specifying them more each year. A pivot door installation in Hollywood typically runs $3,800-$9,000, not including any structural header work the opening requires. The pivot hinge transfers all weight to the floor and header, so the rough opening has to be dead true. On a salt-air lot east of the Intracoastal, we spec stainless or marine-grade hardware as standard.
Impact-Rated Glazing for Existing Door Frames
If your door frame is still structurally sound but the glass is single-pane and non-impact, we can often refit the existing frame with impact-rated glazing rather than tearing out the whole unit. In Hollywood, this runs $800-$2,200 per door panel, depending on glass size and whether the frame needs new weatherstripping or hardware. It’s the most cost-effective path to insurance credits and HVHZ compliance when the frame is worth saving.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, along with more than a dozen other manufacturer lines. That matters in Hollywood because product approvals are specific: a door with a Miami-Dade NOA but no Broward County approval will not pass permit review. We stock common replacement parts locally so hardware swaps and adjustments don’t stall while we wait on a warehouse. When we quote your door, we put the manufacturer lines side by side on paper so the choice is yours, informed.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on the east side. Along A1A and the Intracoastal, aluminum door frames installed in the 1970s are often corroded to the point where the sill has disintegrated. We frequently rebuild rough openings before the new unit can be set.
- Dual-permit failures from out-of-area contractors. A door with only a Miami-Dade NOA, but no Broward County product approval, gets the permit rejected. The job stalls for weeks while the homeowner waits.
- Hidden framing damage during opening. On older Hollywood concrete block homes, pulling an original door often reveals rotted wood bucks, undersized headers, or corroded anchor points. Proceeding without a signed change order turns a straightforward job into a dispute.
- Non-impact doors on the barrier island. East of the Intracoastal, a standard aluminum door degrades in under a decade. When the 40-year structural recertification inspection comes, it fails. Impact-rated units are not optional there.
Pricing for Door Installation in Hollywood, FL
Here’s what Hollywood homeowners can expect to pay, in round numbers. A standard entry door runs $900-$2,100. A storm door runs $450-$1,100. Double or French doors run $2,400-$6,800. Bifold or folding door systems run $4,500-$12,000. Pivot doors run $3,800-$9,000. Impact-rated glazing for an existing frame runs $800-$2,200 per panel.
What moves the price is the condition of your rough opening once the old door comes out, whether the opening needs reframing for current HVHZ standards, and which glass package you choose. We write allowances into the contract for framing repairs so you’re not blindsided. Any change is priced and approved in writing before the work proceeds. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate with fixed, line-item pricing.

FAQs - Door Installation in Hollywood
In most Hollywood condo buildings, the association pulls a master permit for the building-wide scope, and individual unit owners are covered under it. Your board or property manager should confirm this in writing before work starts. If the association is only handling common areas, you’ll need your own permit for your unit’s door. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll help you sort out which applies.
Rarely. If the frame is corroded enough that you can see flaking or the sill has started to crumble, the frame will not hold a new impact-rated panel to HVHZ spec. The rough opening usually needs rebuilding. On a 1960s concrete block home off Hollywood Boulevard, our crew found the sill so far gone that the entire opening had to be reframed before a new Milgard sliding unit could be set. We’ll tell you straight what the wall needs, and we’ll price any structural repair in writing before we start.
Hollywood sits entirely within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement door must carry a Miami-Dade NOA. Broward County adds its own product approval layer on top. Both must be current before the permit is issued. Contractors who normally work in Palm Beach County, where HVHZ rules don’t apply, miss the Broward approval and the permit stalls. We verify both before we ever pull the permit. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on a compliant door.
Generally, a door replacement alone does not trigger electrical or plumbing code upgrades. The scope is limited to the opening, the door, and any structural framing work. What it can trigger is structural: if the header is undersized for current wind-load requirements, the permit review may require reinforcement. That’s a framing issue, not a whole-house issue. We inspect first and write any structural allowance into the contract so you know the full number before work begins.
Yes. Most Florida insurers offer wind-mitigation credits for impact-rated doors, and in Hollywood the credits on a home east of the Intracoastal are typically the most significant. You’ll need the product approval documentation and a completed wind mitigation inspection. We register both warranty layers and hand you the product approval paperwork before the truck leaves. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll walk you through what your insurer needs.
