AfterFast, Impact Windows & Doors Service Across Hollywood
If you own a home or condo in Hollywood, FL, your windows and doors face two relentless forces: hurricane code and salt air. We replace and install impact-rated units in every corner of the city, from the 1950s CBS ranches of Emerald Hills to the high-rise condos stacked along Hollywood Beach and the Intracoastal. Our Impact Windows & Doors crews carry years of experience with Broward County’s dual product-approval process, which we’ll explain below. If you need a straight answer on price or a code question, call (954) 280-4413 and a live person will answer, any hour of the day.
Why Hollywood Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 after decades in the glass trade, and he built it around a rule that still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. In Hollywood, that rule gets tested daily. We opened up a 1962 CBS ranch in the Lakes neighborhood and found the original jalousie frames had corroded so badly from Intracoastal salt air that the sill pans crumbled when we pulled the sash. Our crew rebuilt the rough openings with pressure-treated bucks, installed Pella impact-rated casements with laminated insulated glass units, and flashed the perimeter with butyl tape before the Broward inspector signed off. The homeowner’s energy bills dropped 14% because the old single-pane units had U-factors above 1.0, while the new low-E argon-filled glazing sits at 0.27.
We hire local, we train apprentices into journeymen, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s backed by a Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. Homeowners east of US-1 deal with salt-air corrosion that inland residents never see, and we know exactly how to rebuild those rough openings so the new impact units anchor properly. We serve Hollywood with the same standards we’d apply in our own mothers’ homes.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Hollywood
Most of the work we handle in Hollywood falls into four categories. Each one carries specific code requirements and specific failure patterns that we see on a weekly basis.
Hurricane Impact Windows
The core of our work in Hollywood. Every replacement window must carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and a separate Broward County product approval before the city will issue a permit. This dual-check filters out contractors who normally work in Palm Beach County, where HVHZ rules don’t apply. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, including CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so you can see exactly what you’re buying.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Condo units along Hollywood Beach and the Intracoastal often have original sliding glass doors with tracks that warped decades ago from wind-driven rain. That warp causes seal failure and fogged insulated glass. We replace the entire door system, including new track and rollers, and register both warranty layers before we leave the driveway. Most doors are completed in a single visit.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Older Hollywood homes frequently have entry doors that were never rated for hurricane pressure. An impact French door set on a 1960s CBS ranch east of US-1 needs more than a new door slab, it needs sill replacement and new flashing before the unit can be anchored. We handle the entire opening, not just the door.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest unsupported opening in any Hollywood home. An impact garage door with reinforced tracks properly anchored into concrete block is standard for new code compliance. We inspect the existing tracks and header first, because a door that binds in July is usually a sign of a deeper framing problem.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For Hollywood specifically, we quote a lot of CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems because their laminated glass lines meet Miami-Dade NOA standards cleanly and their hardware holds up better in salt-air zones. When we quote your job, you get side-by-side manufacturer comparisons on paper, with every line item spelled out. No surprise line items on the bill, no second appointment left hanging.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on 1970s aluminum frames. East of US-1, original aluminum frames and hardware corrode years faster than inland. We regularly find sills and jambs so degraded that new impact windows cannot be anchored until the rough opening is rebuilt.
- Non-impact sliding glass doors with warped tracks. Along the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and the Intracoastal corridor, decades of wind-driven rain have warped original tracks, causing seal failure and fogged glass. The entire door unit needs replacement, not just the panel.
- Failed waterproofing around existing openings. Many 1950s and 1960s CBS homes never had flashing tape or proper sill pans. We add both before setting new impact units, or the job will not pass a Broward County inspection.
- Condo-wide replacement triggered by 40-year recertification. Post-Surfside law forces full-building window and sliding-door overhauls. Many associations discover the original concrete block around window openings was never waterproofed, which adds flashing work to the scope before impact units can be set.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL
A typical impact window replacement in Hollywood runs $850 to $1,400 per opening for a standard single-hung or casement unit with laminated glass and a Miami-Dade NOA. Impact sliding glass doors typically run $3,500 to $7,500 installed, depending on track condition and whether sill replacement is needed. Impact entry or French door sets run $4,000 to $9,000. Impact garage doors run $3,000 to $6,500. If we open the wall and find the rough opening needs rebuilding, that work is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free, written line-item estimate. You will not get a call center. You will get a live person who can answer the phone at 3 a.m., because someone in Hollywood is always wondering if their windows will make it through the next storm season.
| Project Type | Hollywood Price Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window (per opening) | $850 - $1,400 |
| Impact Sliding Glass Door | $3,500 - $7,500 |
| Impact Entry/French Door Set | $4,000 - $9,000 |
| Impact Garage Door | $3,000 - $6,500 |
What moves the price more than anything is what we find when we open the wall. A 1962 CBS home in the Lakes neighborhood usually has corroded sill pans and no flashing. That hidden work is the single biggest reason a quote moves, and it’s why we inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any surprise in writing before we touch it.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Because Hollywood operates under Broward County’s own permitting system, which enforces HVHZ rules with a dual-check: every window and door must hold both a current Miami-Dade NOA and a separate Broward County product approval before a permit is issued. This double verification catches units that meet Miami-Dade standards but were not submitted for Broward’s local approval. Contractors who mostly work in Palm Beach County, where HVHZ rules do not apply, often miss this step and stall the permit. Call (954) 280-4413 if you want us to check whether the units you’re considering carry both approvals. We keep a copy of the current Broward approval list in every work van.
Florida’s post-Surfside recertification law forces condo buildings 40 years or older to undergo structural inspections, and many Hollywood Beach and Intracoastal towers are now being ordered to replace entire window and sliding-door systems as part of the repair work. The difference we see is that original concrete around the window openings was often never waterproofed, so the scope includes flashing tape, new sill pans, and rough-opening repair before impact units can be set. We coordinate directly with condo associations on whole-floor and whole-building scopes, because commercial-scale permitting expertise is required even for residential contractors. Call (954) 280-4413 for a walkthrough with your board or management company. Estimates are free.
We find corroded aluminum frames and sills east of US-1, missing flashing tape, rouble crumbled sill pans, and occasionally undersized rough openings that must be reframed to meet current code. On a 1962 CBS ranch in the Lakes neighborhood, the original jalousie sills disintegrated when we pulled the sash, and the opening had to be rebuilt with pressure-treated bucks before new Pella impact casements could be set. That is why our quotes include allowances for hidden opening work, and why any additional cost is priced and approved in writing before we start. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free inspection and we’ll look inside the openings before quoting.
No. Hollywood requires a permit for every replacement window and door, and the permit cannot be issued unless the products carry both a Miami-Dade NOA and a Broward County product approval. Once the wall is opened, the inspector will enforce current HVHZ code on that opening, including flashing, anchoring, and anchoring into sound concrete or framing. We pull the permit ourselves and pass the inspection before we call the job done. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and we’ll include the permit cost as a line item so nothing surprises you.
Salt air east of the Intracoastal corrodes aluminum frames, hinges, and rollers noticeably faster than inland Hollywood, often within 10 to 15 years instead of 25. We replace hardware with marine-grade stainless or corrosion-resistant finishes on barrier-island jobs, and we routinely recommend that homeowners request stainless rollers and stainless hinge pins even when the manufacturer’s standard is zinc or aluminum. If you live near the Broadwalk or A1A, call (954) 280-4413 and ask specifically about salt-air hardware upgrades before you buy. The estimate is free and we can show you the difference on paper.
