AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Hollywood
Impact window and door replacement in Hollywood, FL is a code-driven job, not a style choice. Because the entire city sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), every replacement unit must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), and the framing behind it has to meet fastener-pattern requirements that older Hollywood homes rarely accommodate without extra work. We know where those hidden costs live because we have opened enough walls in Hollywood to see what is behind them. Dale Kessler’s crews serve every Hollywood neighborhood, from the inland CBS ranches off Hollywood Boulevard to the condo corridor along A1A. Call (863) 208-5172 for a free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We have been taking jalousie windows out of Hollywood’s 1950s concrete-block homes long enough to know what is behind the stucco before we open it. That matters in this city because so many original openings were masoned flush with no wood buck. A contractor who does not know that bidding pattern will underprice the job and surprise you with a change order later. We do not.
Our Impact Windows & Doors team works the way Dale Kessler has run things since 2008: measure every opening twice, write the manufacturer line items side by side on paper, register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves. The Keystone Standard is not a slogan here. It is the reason Hollywood homeowners who have been burned once call us when they are finally done with the patch-and-run crowd.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They pull permits before demolition starts. They set Tapcons to the HVHZ fastener pattern and stand there while the city inspector checks the anchor spacing. You will not have to chase us for that. We treat your house the way a second-generation glazier would treat his own mother’s house, because that is the standard Dale writes on the whiteboard every Monday.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Hollywood
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most of Hollywood’s single-family housing stock was built between the late 1940s and the 1970s, and a startling number of those homes still have their original jalousie windows. Jalousies have no impact rating whatsoever. Replacing them with NOA-rated impact casements or single-hung units is the single biggest upgrade available to an inland Hollywood home, but the conversion often requires pressure-treated sub-framing because the old openings have no buck. We quote that work into the bid from the start.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Original hollow-core wood entry doors on older Hollywood CBS homes have no wind-load rating and routinely fail under hurricane pressure, popping the jamb or splitting the slab. An impact-rated fiberglass or steel entry door, hung in a properly anchored buck, changes both the security and the insurance picture. We install true NOA-rated impact entry systems, not just a heavy door with a deadbolt, and we pull the permit on every one.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Hollywood Beach and North Beach condos run hard against the Atlantic, and the salt air there shortens the life of aluminum frames dramatically. We replace worn sliders with marine-grade impact units sized to the existing opening when the frame is sound, and reframe when it is not. The goal is a door that tracks clean in July and seals tight in September, without fogging between the panes two years from now.
Impact Garage Doors
An unbraced garage door is the first thing to blow in during a storm, and once it goes, the pressure differential takes the roof with it. We install wind-load-rated impact garage doors in Hollywood, including bracing retrofits where a full replacement is not the right call. Every door is anchored and inspected to HVHZ requirements, not eyeballed.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Flush-set jalousies with no buck. The original opening has no wood frame, just masonry. Skip the sub-framing and water finds its way behind your new impact unit, and the stucco on the interior wall starts to fail within a couple of hurricane seasons. This is the number-one leak source in Hollywood’s inland CBS ranches.
- Corroded aluminum curtain-wall frames on A1A condos. Salt air eats non-marine-grade aluminum. The frame flexes, the insulated glass seals break, and the pane fogs permanently. We replace those units with marine-grade frames rated for this exact environment.
- Hollow-core entry doors with no wind-load rating. A 1950s wood door weighs nothing and costs less to replace than to defend. Impact-rated entry doors in Hollywood are not optional equipment; they are the difference between a sealed envelope and a breach that pressurizes your whole house.
- Undersized or missing anchor fasteners. Older installations often used nail-in flanges over drywall returns with no structural anchoring. If you are replacing windows in a Hollywood home built before 1990, we will almost certainly find insufficient fastener patterns, and we will correct them to HVHZ spacing before any new glass goes in.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL
A typical impact window replacement in Hollywood runs $1,100 to $1,900 per opening, installed, depending on size, frame material, and whether the original opening has a buck or not. Impact entry doors generally run $2,800 to $5,500, with the higher end reflecting steel slab construction and custom hinge mortising on older homes. Impact sliding glass doors run $4,500 to $9,000, with A1A condo work trending higher because of corrosion repair around the existing frame. The sub-framing on a flush-set jalousie conversion adds roughly $400 to $900 per opening, and that is not a markup; it is the labor, materials, and inspection time required to do the job to code. We give you the full line-item estimate before any work begins. If something changes, we price it in writing and get your approval before we touch it.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Yes, with no exceptions for location. Hollywood falls entirely inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, regardless of how far inland your house sits. A product without an NOA cannot be permitted in Hollywood, period. If a contractor tells you otherwise, walk away. Call (863) 208-5172 and we will show you the NOA for every unit we quote.
Yes, and we do it often. The wall itself stays. The conversion involves removing the jalousie frame, building a pressure-treated wood sub-frame inside the existing masonry opening, anchoring it with Tapcon fasteners at the HVHZ-required spacing, and then setting an NOA-rated impact casement or fixed unit into that new buck. The inspector must check the anchor pattern before we close the walls. We pull the permit first and schedule the inspection as part of the job. Call (863) 208-5172 for a free on-site estimate, and we will measure the actual openings before quoting anything.
Because your original windows were almost certainly set flush into the masonry with no wood buck, and a compliant impact installation requires a structural frame to receive the unit and the anchors. That sub-frame material and labor is a real cost, and any contractor who omits it from the bid is either planning to skip it, which fails inspection, or planning to hit you with a change order after the wall is open. We write it into the original estimate, in writing, with the cost broken out separately. No one should surprise you at the end. Call (863) 208-5172 for an estimate that includes every line item before you sign.
A properly maintained marine-grade impact window in Hollywood should last 25 to 35 years before the frame needs replacement. The glass and laminate may go longer, but the frame and hardware are the first failure point in this environment, especially within a mile of the beach. What kills units early is not the glass; it is uncoated aluminum frames and cheap hardware corroding until the sash binds and the seals fail. We spec marine-grade finishes and stainless hardware on every beachside job. Call (863) 208-5172 and we will walk you through the difference in writing.
Yes. In the HVHZ, every exterior opening, including entry doors, must meet the same impact and design-pressure requirements as windows. A solid wood door with a deadbolt is not compliant and will fail inspection. We install only NOA-rated impact entry systems, and we register the manufacturer warranty plus our Done Right Promise in writing before we leave the driveway. Call (863) 208-5172 to schedule a free estimate on your entry door replacement.
