This page is for Hollywood homeowners who want to know what a sliding or patio door replacement actually costs here, which products survive the salt air, and why the dual permitting requirements in this city filter out a lot of what gets sold just 40 miles north.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
We’ve replaced sliding doors in Hollywood Lakes, Emerald Hills, and along the Intracoastal in condo buildings where the association requires whole-floor coordination before any single unit gets touched. That kind of work demands more than a pickup truck and a caulk gun. It demands a contractor who understands Broward County’s permitting process, who knows which manufacturers keep current NOA listings on file, and who can stage a job so residents aren’t left with an open wall while paperwork clears. Our crews do this every week in Hollywood.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after watching too many South Florida homeowners get handed voided warranties and fogged glass with no recourse. We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. Every estimate is written on paper, side by side, so you see exactly what you’re paying for. And both warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s not optional for us.
Our Hollywood customers tend to be people who’ve lived in their homes for twenty or thirty years. They remember the last contractor who left them with a door that binds in July. They’re not shopping for the low bid. They’re shopping for the last call they’ll have to make on this door. We understand that. It’s why we measure every opening twice, quote honestly, and stand behind the work with a Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither.
We’re part of the broader South Florida community, coordinating dispatch and scheduling from our Miami office while our crews live and work right here in Hollywood and the surrounding Broward corridor. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and plan to be answerable in this town thirty years from now.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Hollywood
Every home in Hollywood has a different relationship with its sliding doors. A 1960s CBS rancher in Hollywood Hills needs something different from a 12th-floor condo unit on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. Here’s what we handle most often.
Patio Sliding Doors
The workhorse of Florida living. Most Hollywood homes were built with standard two-panel aluminum sliders, and most of those are now either binding on corroded tracks or leaking at the sill flashing line. We replace them with impact-rated units that meet both Miami-Dade NOA and Broward County approval requirements. Typical replacement in Hollywood runs $2,800 to $5,500 for a standard 6-foot opening, more if the rough opening needs sill repair from years of water intrusion.

Panoramic Sliding Systems
Hollywood’s waterfront properties and newer construction lean heavily toward panoramic systems: wide spans of glass that open a living room to the Intracoastal view. These demand precise structural headers and a floor tolerance most older slabs simply don’t have. We’ve installed multi-panel panoramic sliders in Hollywood Beach and along the Intracoastal Waterway corridor, and the difference between a clean install and a door that binds within a season comes down to how the track is bedded and leveled. Salt air accelerates any minor misalignment here. These systems typically run $8,000 to $25,000 in Hollywood depending on panel count, glass type, and structural prep.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
For condos and homes exposed to waterfront wind and salt, a standard residential slider is the wrong tool. Heavy-duty sliding doors with fusion-welded frames, stainless steel hardware, and reinforced interlocks are what we specify for Hollywood units east of US-1. The hardware on these is the point: marine-grade stainless fasteners and stainless rollers resist the salt-air pitting that eats standard aluminum hardware within five to seven years on the beach side of Hollywood. Expect $4,500 to $9,000 installed, depending on size and frame condition.

Pocket & Barn Doors
Interior pocket doors and barn-style sliders are common in Hollywood’s older homes, where room layouts from the 1950s and 60s didn’t anticipate open-concept living. We replace worn pocket door hardware, re-frame openings where needed, and install solid-core or glass barn doors for a clean separation between rooms. These jobs are less about weather and more about fit and finish: a poorly hung pocket door binds on the top track, and a poorly hung barn door walks itself off the rail within months. We set them square. Single-door pocket replacements in Hollywood typically run $900 to $2,200.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, but for Hollywood’s salt-air conditions we lean on products with proven coastal performance. ES Windows and ECO Window Systems both manufacture impact-rated sliding doors with the dual Miami-Dade NOA and Broward County approvals this city enforces. Andersen produce solid mid-range and premium options we quote regularly. We stock replacement rollers, locks, and weatherstripping for these lines locally, which means faster turnaround when a Hollywood customer needs a hardware fix rather than a full door replacement. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what each one costs and what the warranty covers. No surprises.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-air pitting at the jamb-to-sill joint. On beachside and Intracoastal Hollywood homes, we regularly pull old aluminum sliders and find the bottom rail has corroded through entirely. The aluminum was never designed for decades of salt spray from the Atlantic. That corrosion means the rough opening has to be rebuilt before any new impact-rated door can be set.
- Fogged insulated glass units on pre-1980 condos. Single-pane and early double-pane sliding doors lose their seal over time, and the resulting fogged glass has a U-factor that’s barely better than an open hole when Hollywood gets hit with wind-driven rain. Condo associations along the Hollywood Beach barrier island are seeing this on nearly every floor as recertification deadlines approach.
- Warped and sand-clogged track systems on 1950s-1970s CBS homes. Hollywood’s original slab homes along the Intracoastal corridor were built with lightweight aluminum tracks that warp under decades of heat and salt exposure. Sash rollers bind, doors stick, and water seeps in at the sill flashing line where the track has pulled away from the concrete.
- Non-compliant original sliding units failing recertification. With Florida’s post-Surfside 40-year structural recertification law now in force, Hollywood condo associations are discovering that the original jalousie and single-pane sliders installed in the 1970s don’t meet current HVHZ code. Full-building replacement scopes are being scheduled, and those jobs require coordinated permitting and staging that most residential contractors have never managed.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Hollywood, FL
A standard 6-foot impact-rated patio sliding door replacement in Hollywood runs $2,800 to $5,500 installed when the existing frame is structurally sound. If salt corrosion has compromised the sill or jamb, expect $4,500 to $7,500 once rough-opening repair and new flashing are included. Panoramic systems start around $8,000 and go up from there based on panel count and structural work. Heavy-duty marine-spec sliders east of US-1 typically land between $4,500 and $9,000. The east-of-US-1 premium is real: hardware that survives Hollywood’s salt air costs more, and cutting that corner means paying for another door within a decade. We give free estimates with line-item pricing on paper. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll come measure.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood sits entirely within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the city’s building department enforces a dual-check requirement: every replacement sliding door must carry both a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and a Broward County product approval before a permit will be issued. We verify both listings on every job before we pull the permit. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll check your specific product and opening.
The salt air east of US-1 in Hollywood corrodes standard aluminum hardware within five to seven years, so anything installed there needs marine-grade stainless steel rollers, stainless fasteners, and fusion-welded frames that cost more than inland-spec components. The cheap inland version works fine west of I-95, but on the beach side of Hollywood, it fails early and you pay for the job twice. Call (954) 280-4413 for a written east-side quote with the hardware specified line by line.
Occasionally, yes, if the frame is square, structurally sound, and free of salt-air corrosion at the sill and jamb. But on Hollywood homes east of the Intracoastal, we rarely find a 1970s aluminum frame worth saving. The bottom rails are usually pitted or split from decades of salt spray, and the frame itself was never rated for current HVHZ wind loads. We’ll tell you honestly whether salvage is a real option or a false economy. Call (954) 280-4413 for an inspection.
Florida’s post-Surfside structural recertification law is forcing Hollywood condos older than 40 years to replace non-compliant original sliding doors with impact-rated units that meet current HVHZ code. That means whole-floor and whole-building replacement scopes, coordinated staging with the association, and dual Miami-Dade NOA and Broward County product approvals on every unit. We’ve managed these scopes on Hollywood Beach and along the Intracoastal Waterway. Call (954) 280-4413 to discuss your building’s timeline.
You’ll see fogging or condensation between the panes that won’t wipe off from either side. On Hollywood’s east side, this seal failure is usually accelerated by salt air corroding the aluminum spacer and frame joint, not just age. Once the seal is gone, the glass loses its insulating value and the door leaks air during wind-driven rain. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll inspect the unit and tell you whether the glass gets replaced or the whole door needs to go.
