AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Hollywood
Door installation in Hollywood runs $1,800 to $9,500 for a standard entry door replacement, depending on whether you need a basic pre-hung steel unit or a custom impact-rated door with architectural glass. On high-end work, the cost climbs to $12,000 to $35,000 or more, and the schedule is driven by lead times from the door manufacturer, not by how long the labor takes. If you live in Hollywood, you also need to know something most door companies never mention: every replacement door in this city must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and be fastened to HVHZ wind-load patterns. Call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll walk you through what that means for your particular opening.
We serve every Hollywood neighborhood, from the Lakes and Emerald Hills west of I-95 to the condo corridor along A1A and Hollywood Beach. Our team knows the difference between a 1950s CBS ranch on a quiet street off Johnson Street and a mid-rise condo unit on North Ocean Drive, because the door you order and the way we set it changes with both. Door Installation is not a one-size job in this city, and anyone who treats it that way is guessing.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Dale Kessler started this company in 2008 around a rule he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to doors as much as windows. Our crews have installed and replaced entry doors, French doors, pivot doors, and custom arched units across Hollywood for the better part of two decades, and we have seen what works in this climate and what fails in three years.
What sets us apart in Hollywood specifically is that we do not order anything until the opening is measured twice and the product’s NOA documentation is confirmed. That is The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. If the work is not right, our Done Right Promise means we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
Every call to (863) 208-5172 is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback request, not a regional call center. When a Hollywood homeowner calls about a door that will not close or a quote they want to understand, they talk to someone who knows the trade and knows this city.
Our Door Installation Services in Hollywood
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry doors in Hollywood take more abuse than in almost any other Florida city. The combination of intense sun, hurricane wind loads, and salt air within a mile of the ocean means a cheap big-box door with standard hinges is a short-term purchase. We install solid wood, fiberglass, and steel entry doors with impact-rated glazing, stainless or marine-grade hardware, and proper flashing. In the Lakes neighborhood just west of I-95, our crew replaced a 1962 hollow-core wood entry door on a CBS ranch that had swelled shut every August. We set a custom-milled solid mahogany door with impact-rated glazing and stainless marine-grade hinges into a new pressure-treated sub-frame, Tapcon-anchored at 6-inch spacing to meet the HVHZ pattern. The homeowner kept the original doorbell chime cover, which we reinstalled after flashing the rough opening with butyl tape. That is the level of detail Hollywood’s older homes require.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door is a statement piece, and Hollywood has no shortage of mid-century and contemporary homes where a large pivot door fits the architecture beautifully. The catch is that most pivot doors are custom or semi-custom, which means lead times of 10 to 16 weeks are normal. We quote these jobs with the lead time written on the estimate, because the price is fixed in writing before we order. Pivot doors also carry a heavier hardware load than a standard hinged door, and in Hollywood’s salt air, that hardware needs to be marine-grade stainless or it will seize. We specify accordingly.
Arched & Custom Doors
Hollywood’s 1950s through 1970s housing stock includes a surprising number of arched entryways, particularly in the Emerald Hills and Hollywood Lakes areas. Preserving those arches while meeting current code is a specialty of ours. We work with custom millwork shops to produce arched door slabs and radiused frames that match the original opening, then we order impact glazing from manufacturers who will provide the Miami-Dade NOA paperwork for a radius unit. Not every manufacturer will. We know which ones do.
Double & French Doors
French doors and double door systems are common on Hollywood homes that open onto patios, pool decks, and garden spaces. The challenge here is that double doors have a center seam, and a poorly set double door in a wind-borne debris region will leak air, water, and eventually fail inspection. We set double doors with interlocking astragals, multi-point locks, and proper thresholds rated for the HVHZ. On homes within a few blocks of A1A, we push stainless hardware from the start because standard steel hinges and screws corrode within two to three years of salt exposure.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and the ones that matter most in Hollywood are the impact specialists: PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. These three manufacturers understand Florida’s HVHZ code, and their products carry the Miami-Dade NOA documentation Hollywood requires. We quote PGT, CGI, and ES Windows side by side on paper so you can see the differences in glass package, frame material, and warranty coverage. We also service what other companies installed, which means we keep a working stock of common hardware, thresholds, and weatherstripping for the brands most common in Hollywood homes.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on hinges and thresholds. East-facing doors within a mile of A1A routinely show seized hinges and corroded threshold screws within two to three years of installation when standard hardware was used. Marine-grade stainless is not an upgrade here; it is the minimum.
- Jalousie-to-impact retrofits with no sub-frame. Older CBS homes often have rough openings that were masoned flush with no wood buck or frame. Converting those openings to modern impact doors requires custom pressure-treated sub-framing and Tapcon masonry anchoring at precise spacing. Skipping that step fails HVHZ inspection and forces a tear-out.
- Custom doors arriving without NOA stickers. Designer-specified pivot doors and arched units with custom glass sometimes ship without the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance label. That delays final inspection until a re-certification is filed, which can add weeks to a project that already had a long lead time.
- Fogged glass in beach-adjacent condo doors. In Hollywood Beach and North Beach condos along A1A, failed thermal seals show up as fogged glass within a few years. Salt air accelerates frame corrosion, and condensation works its way into the insulated glass unit. Replacing the slab without addressing the frame is a band-aid.
Pricing for Door Installation in Hollywood, FL
Here are honest numbers for Hollywood’s market. A standard pre-hung fiberglass entry door runs $1,800 to $4,800 installed. A quality impact-rated entry door from PGT or CGI runs $3,500 to $9,500. Double French doors with impact glazing run $6,000 to $14,000. A custom pivot door with architectural glass starts around $12,000 and can reach $35,000 or more depending on size, species, and hardware. Arched custom doors fall in the $8,000 to $22,000 range.
The single biggest variable in Hollywood’s older neighborhoods is the rough opening condition. If your CBS home needs a new pressure-treated buck, masonry anchoring, and custom flashing, that is real labor and material cost, and it is often the difference between a $4,000 bid and a $7,500 bid. We quote it upfront and in writing. Call (863) 208-5172 for a free estimate, and we will give you line-item pricing you can compare.

FAQs - Door Installation in Hollywood
The labor on a front door replacement is usually one to two days. The lead time comes from the door manufacturer, not from us. In Hollywood, any door that must meet HVHZ impact code is a factory-built unit with impact glazing, and those units are made to order. Custom sizes, arched tops, and specific finishes add weeks. We write the lead time on the estimate and keep you informed at each milestone. When the door arrives, we schedule installation promptly and complete it in a single visit. Call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll give you the current lead time for the specific door you are considering.
Yes, in most cases. We work with custom millwork and manufacturers who produce radiused impact glazing with Miami-Dade NOA certification. The frame is built to match your existing arch, and the glass package is specified to meet the wind-load requirements for your home’s location within Hollywood. It costs more than a rectangular door, and the lead time is longer, but the character of a mid-century arched entry is worth preserving for homeowners who want to keep it. Call (863) 208-5172 and we will measure the opening and give you a fixed price.
The hidden cost is the rough opening preparation. Many Hollywood homes built between the 1950s and 1970s have concrete block walls where the door opening was masoned flush, with no wood buck or sub-frame. To install a modern impact door to HVHZ fastener patterns, we have to build a pressure-treated sub-frame, anchor it with Tapcons at precise spacing, and flash the opening properly. On an old jalousie opening or a deteriorated frame, that work can add $1,500 to $3,500 to the job. Cheap bids almost never include it, and then the inspector fails the work, and the homeowner pays twice. We include it upfront.
Fogged glass in a door installed within a year means the insulated glass unit’s seal failed. In Hollywood Beach and North Beach, salt air and constant humidity accelerate corrosion on aluminum frames, which stresses the seal and lets moisture into the glass unit. If the frame itself is corroding, replacing only the glass simply moves the problem down the road. We diagnose the frame condition and the glass unit together, and we recommend a replacement that will actually hold up in a beachfront environment. Call (863) 208-5172 for an evaluation.
In Hollywood, three miles from the beach is not as far as it sounds. The ocean air carries salt for miles inland, especially along the A1A corridor and the neighborhoods around US-1 and Federal Highway. Standard steel hinges on an east-facing door will show pitting and corrosion within a few years. Stainless steel hinges cost more, but they are the difference between a door that swings smooth for twenty years and one that creaks and binds in five. For any door we install in Hollywood, marine-grade or stainless hardware is included in the quote, not sold as an upsell.
If you are replacing a door in Hollywood, call (863) 208-5172. We will answer, talk through your opening, your budget, and your timeline, and schedule a free estimate. Done right, in writing, the first time.
