Fast, Reliable Window Installation Across Hollywood
Window installation in Hollywood costs $550-$2,800 per opening depending on whether you need a basic single-hung replacement or a custom impact-rated casement with marine-grade hardware. Most single-family jobs in Hollywood Lakes, Emerald Hills, and the 33019 beach corridor run $8,000-$22,000 for a whole house, and condo retrofits off the Intracoastal typically land between $1,200 and $3,400 per unit once you factor in the rough-opening work salt air forces on older buildings. That’s the honest range, and it’s what we quote on paper before any work begins. TruePane has been setting windows along Hollywood Boulevard, A1A, and the Broadwalk since Dale Kessler founded this company, and we’ve learned what this city’s salt, wind, and building stock actually do to a window system over twenty years.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’ve worked enough buildings between Dixie Highway and the Intracoastal to know what the pre-1980 towers are hiding behind their stucco: corroded jamb anchors, degraded sill pans, and rough openings that are no longer square by three-quarters of an inch. The crews we send into Hollywood live in Broward County, clock in with background checks and uniforms, and measure every opening twice before they ever order a frame. That second measurement catches the off-square conditions that cause an out-of-true install, the kind of problem that voids a manufacturer’s wind-load warranty before the caulk has cured.
Our Hollywood customers tend to be people who have owned their homes for decades and intend to stay. They remember a contractor from years back who left them with a fogged seal and a slider that binds every July. They are not shopping for the cheapest bid. They’re looking for a company that answers the phone when something goes wrong, and that’s the standard we hold: a live person answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. That promise is in writing, and so are both warranty layers under The Keystone Standard before our truck leaves your driveway.
Salt Air Decides the Materials, Not the Schedule
Here’s what we see on the east side of Hollywood that you won’t hear from a contractor working inland off 441 or University Drive: the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway are so close together in this city that the air itself eats aluminum. A window frame installed in the 1970s along the A1A corridor has been breathing salt for fifty years. The finish is gone, the weep holes are clogged with corrosion, and the jamb anchors have lost their bite. We’ve cut out original jalousie windows in Hollywood Beach condos where the sash had to be torched or sawed free because the aluminum had fused to the track. That’s not a hypothetical. That’s a Tuesday.
On a 1960s condo tower along the Intracoastal in Hollywood Lakes, our crew found original aluminum jalousie windows so corroded that the sashes had to be cut out and the rough openings rebuilt before we could set new impact-rated casement units. We specified fusion-welded frames with stainless steel hardware and marine-grade finishes, then pulled permits through Broward County’s dual-check system, replacing the old single-pane sliders with impact windows and doors featuring low-E, argon-filled insulated glass units that now meet both HVHZ and 40-year recertification requirements. That job took three weeks, not one, because the rough openings had to be brought back to true before a single window could be set. A contractor who quoted the job without seeing the corrosion would have been forced into a change order by day two. We don’t work that way.
This is also why we push stainless steel and hot-dip galvanized hardware on every job east of Federal Highway. A cheap zinc-plated screw on a picture window overlooking the Broadwalk will rust out in five years, and suddenly you’re calling us back to replace a unit that was never going to last. We’d rather sell you the right fastener the first time.
Our Window Installation Services in Hollywood
We install and replace every window type this city’s housing stock calls for, from the 1950s CBS ranchers in Royal Poinciana to the 1970s mid-rises along the Hollywood Beach barrier island. Here’s what we handle most.
Impact-Rated Casement Windows
Casements are the workhorse for Hollywood’s HVHZ code. Because the entire city sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, every replacement window must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and a Broward County product approval. That dual-check requirement catches a lot of installers who normally work in Palm Beach County. We check both approvals before we pull a single permit. Casement windows also happen to seal tighter than sliders, which matters when the August wind off the Atlantic finds every gap in the building envelope.

Sliding Windows for Condo Retrofits
Hollywood’s condo inventory is dense on the east side, from the Broadwalk towers to the mid-rises along Hollywood Boulevard near Young Circle. The 40-year structural recertification law passed after Surfside is forcing associations into full-building window and sliding-glass-door overhauls on a timeline no inland Broward city is facing. Sliding windows retrofitted into those buildings need commercial-scale permitting expertise even when the job is technically residential. We coordinate with the association, the property manager, and the building department so the permit doesn’t stall mid-project. Most condo retrofits in Hollywood run $1,200-$3,400 per opening, depending on the condition of the existing framing.

Fixed & Picture Windows with Marine-Grade Finishes
On beachfront properties from the 33019 corridor down through the Broadwalk, picture windows need hardware and frame finishes that salt air won’t destroy. We specify fusion-welded vinyl or upgraded aluminum frames with stainless hardware and sealed joints. A picture window in a beachfront living room is a big piece of glass facing the ocean. It needs to be set dead level and square, or the seal load is uneven and the glass fails early. Fixed windows in Hollywood typically run $900-$3,100 per opening installed, including the marine-grade trim and hardware that inland quotes leave out.

Single & Double Hung Windows
The 1950s and 1960s CBS single-family homes that dominate Hollywood’s inland neighborhoods from Emerald Hills to Driftwood were built with wood or aluminum single-hungs that are now forty to seventy years old. We replace them with energy-efficient windows - single or double hungs that meet current HVHZ code. A basic single-hung replacement in a Hollywood CBS home runs $550-$1,400 per window. Double hungs run $700-$1,800. The spread depends on whether the rough opening is still square and whether we’re seeing the salt creep that inland homes along the canals get less of, but still get.
You can also ask us about awning windows, bay and bow windows, and garden windows if the house calls for them. The brands and the standards are the same.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and that matters when a warranty claim comes down to whether the installer was certified for the product they set. In Hollywood we work heavily with ES Windows, Andersen, and CWS on the impact side. ES Windows builds a lot of the high-end impact-rated products specified in Hollywood Beach and Intracoastal condo work. ECO Window Systems gives us a solid mid-range impact product for the CBS single-family market. We quote lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying, including the warranty duration for each layer. When you call (954) 280-4413, we’ll bring the manufacturer spec sheets and the numbers to your kitchen table.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames on beachside homes. Decades of ocean air degrade the frame, the track, and the jamb anchors to the point where the sill and rough opening need repair before new windows can be set. We see this constantly in Hollywood Lakes and along the A1A corridor.
- Non-impact single-pane sliders from the 1970s. These fail HVHZ code outright, and many of Hollywood’s condo associations are now mandating whole-floor replacements to satisfy the 40-year recertification process. A single-unit swap becomes a coordinated scope across an entire floor.
- Contractors missing Broward County’s dual product approval. A Palm Beach County installer who has never worked in an HVHZ city may show up with a window that only has a Miami-Dade NOA, not the Broward County product approval. The permit gets rejected. The job stalls. We verify both documents before we order anything.
- Rough openings out of square in 1960s towers. Concrete block and original framing settles over fifty years. We measure twice and have built enough Hollywwod jobs to know which buildings are going to need rough-opening rebuilds, not just window swaps.

What pushes a Hollywood quote toward the top of these ranges is usually the coastal spec: fusion-welded frames, stainless hardware, marine-grade finishes, and rough-opening work caused by salt corrosion. The inland-spec version of the same window might come in $500 cheaper. But the frame on that cheap version is going to start degrading within five years if you live east of Federal Highway. You’ll be replacing it again inside a decade, and the second replacement costs more than the first one ever would have.

FAQs - Window Installation in Hollywood
Yes. Every replacement window set anywhere in Hollywood must carry both a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and a Broward County product approval before a permit can be pulled. Hollywood sits entirely within the HVHZ, and Broward County runs its own permitting system on top of the Miami-Dade standard. A product with only one approval will get the permit rejected. TruePane verifies both documents before ordering any frame. Call (954) 280-4413 if you want a straight answer about your building’s specific requirements, and we’ll walk you through what your permit actually needs.
Salt air off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway corrodes aluminum frames, hardware, and jamb anchors far faster on Hollywood’s east side than even a few miles inland. Original aluminum windows on the beach side have been breathing salt for decades, and by the time we see them, the sashes are often fused, the finish is gone, and the rough openings need rebuilds. Coastal-spec materials like stainless hardware and marine-grade finishes slow that process dramatically, which is why we specify them on any job east of Federal Highway. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll come look at what the salt has done to your frames before you commit to a full replacement.
Buildings 40 years or older in Hollywood are required to undergo structural recertification under Broward County rules, and window and sliding-glass-door overhauls are a standard part of that process. What this means for condo owners is that replacement is rarely a one-unit project anymore. Associations are coordinating whole-floor or whole-building scopes, and the permitting is commercial-scale, even though each unit is residential. TruePane has managed these retrofits in Hollywood’s beach and Intracoastal towers, and we’ll work directly with your association and property manager so the permit doesn’t stall and the scope doesn’t balloon. Call (954) 280-4413 with your building’s recertification letter and we’ll give you a straight read on what’s actually required.
On average, the coastal-spec version of an impact window runs $500 to $900 more per opening than an inland-spec unit of the same size. That premium covers fusion-welded frames, stainless steel hardware, marine-grade finishes, and sealed joints spec’d for salt air. The inland-spec window is cheaper on day one, but east of Federal Highway it’ll start degrading within five years, and the full replacement inside a decade costs more than the coastal-spec would have the first time. We quote both options side by side on paper so you can see exactly what that premium buys. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate with line items, not a lump sum.
Palm Beach County does not enforce HVHZ standards, so contractors who work there often don’t carry products with both a Miami-Dade NOA and a Broward County product approval. They’ll show up with a window that clears Palm Beach permitting and stall out at Hollywood’s building department. We’ve seen the delay play out in condos along the Broadwalk, and it costs owners weeks of scheduling time and a permit rejection they have to untangle. A Hollywood job needs an installer who already knows Broward’s dual-check system. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll handle the approvals before the windows are even ordered.
