AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood
Window replacement in Hollywood, FL typically costs $900-$2,800 per opening for impact-rated units, and most single-family jobs wrap up in one to three days once permits clear. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been setting windows along the A1A corridor, in Hollywood Lakes, and throughout the 33019 and 33020 zips since 2008 through our craft heritage. If you’re noticing salt-air pitting on your 1960s aluminum frames or a fogged seal on the east side of town, call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate. We measure twice, quote side by side on paper, and stand behind every install.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Hollywood is one of the few cities in Florida where a window contractor has to think like a marine glazier. The Intracoastal Waterway splits the city, and the Atlantic sits a few blocks east of A1A. That means salt spray, high humidity, and hurricane-driven rain work on your window frames year-round. We see the same failure pattern in condos along Hollywood Beach that we see on boats: pitted aluminum, corroded sash hardware, and seal failure at the sill within ten to fifteen years.
We’re led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Dale’s crews work in Hollywood the way they’d work in their own mother’s house. Uniformed, background-checked, and trained to respect the fact that this is your home, not a job number.
Hollywood customers routinely tell us the same thing after an install: the quote was clear, the crew showed up when they said, and someone answered the phone when they called. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, every day. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. That matters when you have a window that won’t close and a storm forming off the coast.
Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means removing the entire existing window including the frame down to the rough opening, then installing a new impact-rated unit flashed and sealed to current HVHZ code. In Hollywood’s older concrete block homes from the 1950s and 1960s, this is usually the right call. The original frames near the Intracoastal are often corroded beyond saving, and you don’t want to set a new window into a weak old frame. Full frame runs $1,400-$2,800 per opening for impact-rated glass in most Hollywood homes.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement, sometimes called pocket replacement, fits a new window into the existing frame. It’s faster and less expensive, typically $900-$1,600 per opening in Hollywood. But it only works when the old frame is still square and structurally sound. In east Hollywood near the Broadwalk, we often find frames too far gone for inserts, and we’ll tell you that straight. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Hollywood are a different conversation than inland Florida. Here, any storm-rated glazing needs to carry both a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and a Broward County product approval. We supply and install impact-rated storm windows that meet the dual-check requirement, so your permit clears the first time. Figure $1,100-$2,200 per opening for storm-rated units depending on size and frame choice.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Energy-efficient upgrades in Hollywood usually mean low-E coated glass, argon gas fill, and thermally broken frames. But with the Intracoastal a block away, thermal performance isn’t the only number that matters. We spec marine-grade hardware and stainless fasteners on energy-efficient units for homes east of US-1, because the energy savings don’t matter if the sash hardware corrodes in eight years. Expect $950-$2,400 per opening for energy-efficient replacements in Hollywood.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hollywood homes we regularly work with, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. Each line has strengths. Andersen offers rock-solid wood and composite options for Hollywood Lakes craftsman-style homes. ES Windows builds fusion-welded impact units that hold up better than mechanical-corner frames in salt air. ECO Window Systems gives Hollywood condo owners a strong mid-price option that still clears the NOA and Broward approval checks. We quote side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames. Homes and condos within a mile of the ocean or Intracoastal see pitting and seal failure at the sill within 10-15 years. We see original 1970s frames along A1A and the Broadwalk that have degraded so badly the rough opening itself needs rebuilding before new impact glass can go in.
- Original jalousie and single-pane sliders that fail HVHZ code. Hollywood’s housing stock from the 1950s through 1970s is full of these. They don’t meet current wind-load standards, and most condo associations are now requiring full-building replacement under Florida’s post-Surfside 40-year structural recertification law.
- Permit flags from single-approval products. This is a Hollywood-specific headache. Contractors who normally work in Palm Beach County, where HVHZ rules don’t apply, often show up with a Miami-Dade NOA only and forget that Broward County requires its own product approval before permit pull. That stalls whole-floor condo replacements for weeks. We check both before we even order the glass.
- Fogged seals from humidity and salt exposure. Fog between panes means the seal has failed, period. In Hollywood’s humid coastal air, a failed seal also invites moisture into the frame, which accelerates corrosion. If you see fog, the window has already failed. Call us to look before the rot spreads to the rough opening.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL
Here’s what we typically see across Hollywood in 2026. Insert replacement windows run $900-$1,600 per opening for mid-size units. Full frame impact replacement runs $1,400-$2,800 per opening depending on size, frame material, and whether we need to rebuild the rough opening. Storm-rated impact windows land at $1,100-$2,200 per opening. Energy-efficient upgrades with low-E and argon run $950-$2,400 per opening. The coastal-spec version of any job costs 15-25% more than the inland-spec version because marine-grade hardware, stainless fasteners, and fusion-welded frames are simply more expensive materials. But the cheap spec near the Intracoastal gets pitting and seal failure within a few years. The coastal spec lasts. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders, no surprises.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood
Hollywood sits entirely within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the law requires every replacement window or door to carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance proving it meets wind-load and impact standards. But Hollywood building permits are pulled under Broward County’s own system, which also requires a Broward County product approval. You need both. Contractors who miss the Broward check get flagged at permit and stall the job. We verify both before we order anything.
It means the association has likely hit its 40-year structural recertification milestone under Florida law, and the board is coordinating replacement for every unit on your floor so the building envelope stays consistent. For you, it means your windows get replaced as part of a coordinated scope, often with a commercial-scale permit. We handle these projects regularly along Hollywood Beach and the Intracoastal, and we work directly with your board or property manager on scheduling, access, and documentation. Call (954) 280-4413 so we can review your association’s scope and give you a straight answer on timing.
In most cases, no. If the frames are pitted and corroded, the structural integrity is gone, and setting new impact glazing into them is like building on a rotten sill. We see this constantly in east Hollywood homes from the 1960s and 1970s. The right move is full frame replacement with a fusion-welded impact unit, marine-grade hardware, and stainless fasteners, flashed properly to keep salt spray out of the rough opening. If your frames are still square and solid, we’ll say so and quote an insert instead.
Fog between panes means the seal around the insulated glass unit has broken, and the dry air or argon gas that was sealed inside has been replaced by humid outside air. In Hollywood’s coastal climate, that trapped moisture accelerates frame corrosion and reduces the window’s energy performance. The seal cannot be repaired. The glass unit, and usually the sash, needs replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you whether it’s a glass-only fix or a full frame replacement.
Technically yes, but it’s usually a poor trade. Non-impact windows with separate shutters meet code only while the shutters are deployed, which means any storm you don’t have time to board up for leaves your home exposed. And Hollywood’s permitting office will still require the non-impact unit to meet Broward County product approval. Most Hollywood homeowners we talk to choose impact-rated glass precisely because it protects the house even when you’re not home. An energy-efficient impact unit does both jobs. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll price both options side by side so the decision is yours, on paper.
