Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Hollywood
Custom windows and doors in Hollywood, FL aren’t a one-size-fits-all order. Most of the homes here, especially the CBS ranch houses built between 1950 and 1975, have rough openings that were never meant to hold modern impact-rated units. That’s why our Custom Windows & Doors crew spends more time measuring, shimming, and framing Hollywood openings than any other step of the job. A typical custom window or door replacement in Hollywood runs $900-$4,800 per opening depending on size, glass package, and whether the existing opening needs sub-framing. Call (863) 208-5172 and a live person will answer, walk you through how we work, and schedule your free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We’ve worked Hollywood long enough to know exactly what we’ll find behind the drywall in a 1960s CBS home off Hollywood Boulevard or a mid-rise condo along A1A. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 because he got tired of watching installers set windows into openings that were never squared, never flashed, and never inspected the way they should have been. His rule still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Every technician who steps onto a Hollywood job site is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice before we quote you a number. We register both warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies whether we’re setting a custom architectural grille double-hung on North 56th Avenue or reglazing a storefront on Harrison Street. Reviews from Hollywood homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: we show up when we say, we quote on paper, and we stand behind the work.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Hollywood
Custom Shape Windows
Hollywood’s older homes and newer waterfront builds both ask for shapes you won’t find on a shelf. Arched transoms over entry doors, trapezoid vents above sliders, round porthole windows in beach bungalows on Surf Road, half-rounds over picture windows in Lakes of Emerald Hills. We measure every radius and angle on site, then order each unit cut to the exact curve. On CBS homes, the opening usually needs a pressure-treated sub-frame before the custom unit can be set, so we plan that into the quote from the first visit.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Downtown Hollywood and the Hollywood Boulevard corridor are full of storefronts with aging aluminum frames and single-pane glass that predates current wind-load requirements. We replace those systems with impact-rated storefront glazing that holds its line under HVHZ design pressures. Most commercial jobs in Hollywood’s downtown district run $3,500-$18,000 depending on linear footage and whether the existing frame can be reused or needs full replacement. We coordinate with your shop hours so you’re not dark during business days.

Curtain Wall Systems
The condo towers along A1A and Hollywood Beach have aluminum curtain wall frames that take a beating from salt air. Within a mile of the water, non-marine-grade aluminum corrodes at the jambs and sashes within a few years. We specify marine-grade alloys and stainless hardware on every curtain wall repair or replacement we quote in Hollywood’s beach corridor. It costs more up front and fails far less often.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Hollywood homeowners who want the look of divided light without giving up impact protection ask for simulated divided lites, or SDLs. We’ve set SDL patterns on everything from 1950s ranches off Johnson Street to newer custom builds in Harbor Islands. The grilles sit between the glass panes, so you get the look of individual lites with a single sealed unit. On a custom double-hung with a standard SDL grid, expect $180-$420 per window beyond the base unit cost, depending on pattern complexity.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hollywood work we lean on PGT, CGI, and ES Windows most often. PGT and CGI build impact units that hold Miami-Dade NOA listings, which Hollywood’s HVHZ code requires on every replacement. ES Windows gives us the architectural flexibility for oversized custom panels and modern interior sightlines. We carry local inventory from these manufacturers’ South Florida distribution points, which means fewer days waiting on freight when your job is already scheduled.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Original jalousie windows with zero impact protection. Hollywood’s inland CBS neighborhoods have whole blocks of 1950s homes still running their original louvered glass. Those windows don’t come close to meeting HVHZ wind-borne debris requirements. They’re also the single biggest source of July heat gain and September water intrusion in older Hollywood homes.
- Flush masonry openings with no buck. In CBS construction, original jalousie and aluminum slider windows were often set directly into the block with no wood frame around them. You can’t just swap a modern unit into that void. It needs a pressure-treated sub-frame and Tapcon anchoring at code-specified spacing before anything else. Skipping that step is how Hollywood homeowners end up failing inspection, or worse, losing a window during a storm.
- Salt-air corrosion along the beach corridor. Condos and homes within a mile of A1A eat through standard aluminum frames fast. We see jamb hardware seized solid, sashes that won’t close square, and frames pitted to the point where a new glass unit won’t seat. The fix is marine-grade material and stainless hardware from the start.
- Failed seals and fogged glass on older high-rises. Hollywood Beach condos from the 1970s and 1980s show a lot of thermal seal failure, especially on west-facing elevations. That fog between the panes isn’t condensation you can wipe. It’s a dead seal, and the only real fix is replacement of the insulated glass unit or the entire sash depending on the frame condition.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL
Custom window pricing in Hollywood starts around $900 for a small fixed shape unit with impact glazing and climbs from there. A typical custom double-hung with SDL grilles runs $1,800-$3,600 installed. Custom shape windows with curves or radius corners typically land between $2,000 and $4,800 per opening. If we’re converting a jalousie opening on a CBS home, add $300-$700 per opening for the pressure-treated sub-frame, Tapcon anchoring, and flashing work that HVHZ inspection requires. We quote all of this on paper before we order anything, and we don’t come back with change orders unless you change the scope. Call (863) 208-5172 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Because the jalousie frame itself has no impact rating and no structural connection to your CBS opening that meets HVHZ code. Reglazing replaces the glass slats but leaves the frame and its zero wind-load capacity untouched. A full replacement with an impact-rated unit is the only way to bring a Hollywood jalousie opening into compliance. Call (863) 208-5172 if you want us to walk the measurements on your specific openings.
You need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Hollywood sits entirely inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires NOA-listed products, not just Florida Product Approval. We specify PGT and CGI units with active NOA listings on every Hollywood quote, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the job. Call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll show you the actual NOA documentation for the products we’re quoting.
Custom units are cut, glazed, and assembled to your exact opening measurements after the order is placed, not pulled from a warehouse shelf. In Hollywood, lead times run six to twelve weeks for architectural grille patterns, radius shapes, or oversized impact panels. Off-the-shelf sliders ship in a week because they’re already built. The schedule on custom Hollywood work is set by the manufacturer’s glass line, not by our install crew, so we order only after you’ve signed a fixed written quote and approved the shop drawings. Call (863) 208-5172 to start the clock on your project.
Condensation sits on the room-side surface and wipes away with a towel. Seal failure shows as fog, haze, or mineral spotting between the two panes of glass, and it doesn’t wipe off because it’s trapped inside the unit. Once the seal fails, the insulating gas has escaped and the unit’s thermal performance is done. On Hollywood Beach condos, we replace the failed insulated glass unit or the full sash depending on frame condition. Call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll send a technician to identify exactly which panes are dead.
No. We quote custom work on paper after we’ve opened the wall and confirmed the opening condition, not before. That means the price we hand you covers the sub-frame, the anchoring, the flashing, the unit, and the install. If we find something unexpected, we stop and tell you before we spend your money. The only thing that changes a TruePane quote is you changing the scope. Call (863) 208-5172 for a fixed written estimate.
