Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood
Window replacement in Hollywood, FL means dealing with two realities most contractors never mention up front: Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, and rough openings in older CBS homes that were never built for modern impact units. We’ve been opening up Hollywood walls long enough to know what’s behind them before we quote the job. That’s why our estimates include the sub-framing, the Tapcon anchoring, and the NOA-compliant glass your permit will demand – not as a surprise change order later, but as line items you approve in writing before the truck rolls. If you want a real number for your Hollywood home, call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll walk the house with you.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, but the glazing craft behind it runs deeper than that – years of setting glass the right way, passed down through two generations. What that means for a Hollywood homeowner is simple: we treat your CBS walls and your HVHZ permit requirements as the starting point, not an obstacle to upsell. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice before ordering anything. When they leave your driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with durations stated. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s non-negotiable on every job.
Hollywood customers call us because the work holds up. The Done Right Promise sits behind every install – if something’s not done right, we make it right, with no paperwork fights and no arguing. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that person can dispatch a crew to Hollywood the same day you call. We’re not a regional call center and we don’t route you through a voicemail tree. You get a person who knows the area, knows the code, and can schedule a free estimate while you’re still on the line.
Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement in Hollywood means removing the old window down to the rough opening and rebuilding what’s there. In the inland neighborhoods – Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, the 33021 corridor – that often means exposing CBS block with no buck, no sill, and crumbling mortar from a 1960s pour. We frame those openings with pressure-treated sub-bucks, anchor with Tapcons at 16-inch spacing to satisfy Miami-Dade NOA fastener patterns, and set the new unit square and true. A full frame job is the only way to properly flash and seal an opening that was never built for a modern window. For jalousie-to-impact conversions, there’s no shortcut that holds.

Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement in Hollywood works when the existing frame is still sound and square – which is less common than people hope, but happens often enough in the better-built CBS sections of Boulevard Heights and the 33020 zone. We measure the existing frame twice, order the insert to fit cleanly inside it, and set it level without disturbing your stucco or interior trim. This typically saves money on labor and keeps the job to a single visit. But we’ll tell you honestly if your frame is too far gone for an insert, because a fogged or rotten frame with a new glass pack in it is still a failing window.

Storm Window Replacement
Some Hollywood homeowners want storm windows as a secondary layer over existing single-pane glass, but let’s be clear: in a designated wind-borne debris region, a storm window is not impact protection and will not satisfy your HVHZ permit. What a storm window does well is cut draft and noise, and we install them where they make sense – typically on inland homes where the owner is budgeting a phased improvement rather than a full impact conversion at once. Along A1A and the North Beach condo corridor, we steer people toward true NOA-rated impact units because that’s what the structure and the insurance carrier expect.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing original jalousie windows with sealed, Low-E impact units changes the thermal performance of a Hollywood CBS home from essentially open-air to genuinely conditioned. Our customers in the 33019 and 33020 zip codes regularly see cooling-season relief once those louvers stop leaking conditioned air into the July humidity. We quote ENERGY STAR lines side by side on paper – including ECO Window Systems and ES Windows among the brands we carry – so you can see the U-factor and SHGC numbers before you spend a dollar. That’s a square deal, and it’s how we’ve always done it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hollywood’s specific conditions we often recommend CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems for their NOA testing and marine-grade hardware options. Every quote shows the manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with warranty durations stated in writing, so you know exactly what you’re buying before you sign. If a product’s NOA status matters for your permit – and in Hollywood it always does – we verify it before we order, not after the inspector asks. Call (863) 208-5172 to get a written line-item quote on any of these lines.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Jalousie windows set flush into CBS block. The original louvered glass sits directly in a masonry opening with no frame or buck. Converting these to impact units means building a sub-frame first – an extra step that cheap bids skip and then charge you for later.
- Salt-air corrosion within a mile of A1A. Non-marine-grade aluminum frames and hardware seize up, the thermal seals fail early, and the sash stops moving. We’ve pulled curtain-wall frames from North Beach condos where the screws had to be drilled out because the corrosion was that deep.
- Contractors in Hollywood underbidding by ignoring NOA requirements. They quote non-impact glass, the permit review kicks it back, and the homeowner gets a change order for true impact glazing plus the cost of redoing the opening. We quote NOA-compliant product from the first visit and write the permit scope into the contract.
- Sideways-sliding single-pane aluminum windows from the 1960s. These original horizontal sliders warp, leak at the track, and offer zero wind-load resistance. Replacing them properly usually requires full frame work, because the original track and sill are integral to the block opening.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL
A straight insert replacement into a sound existing frame in Hollywood typically runs $600 to $1,100 per window, including labor and flashing. Full frame replacement – which most jalousie-to-impact conversions require – runs $1,400 to $2,800 per opening, depending on the size, the sub-framing needed, and the glass package you choose. Impact-rated units meeting Miami-Dade NOA standards add roughly 30-40% over non-impact glass, but in Hollywood you don’t have the option of skipping that. The hidden labor item on older CBS homes is the sub-buck and Tapcon anchoring work, which can add $300 to $600 per opening when the original has no frame at all. We put every one of these numbers in writing on your estimate before you commit. Call (863) 208-5172 for a free, line-item quote on your specific openings – no surprises, no change orders, no arguing.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood
Because Hollywood sits entirely within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the permit review will not approve non-impact glass on any window replacement that touches the exterior envelope. The moment your permit is pulled, the reviewer checks for a Miami-Dade NOA on the product you specified. If your contractor quoted non-impact windows to win the bid, that’s where the change order appears – and it usually includes reframing the opening to accept the heavier impact unit. Our contracts include NOA-compliant product and the associated framing work from day one, so the permit doesn’t change your price. Call (863) 208-5172 for an estimate that accounts for Hollywood code before you sign.
Yes, but the opening needs sub-framing work first. In Hollywood’s inland CBS homes, the original jalousie windows were set flush into the block with no buck and no frame – just raw masonry. We cut the opening clean, install a pressure-treated sub-buck, anchor it with Tapcons at 16-inch spacing to meet the NOA fastener pattern, and then set the impact-rated unit into that new frame. It’s not a rebuild of the wall, but it is structural work, and skipping it is why some installs fail inspection or leak at the first hard rain. We do this work in-house and price it into the estimate up front. Call (863) 208-5172 for a quote that includes the sub-framing, not one that surprises you with it later.
Within a mile of A1A, we strongly recommend marine-grade stainless or heavy-coated hardware on every replacement window you install. Salt air in Hollywood’s beach corridor from North Beach down through Hollywood Beach and Hallandale is aggressive enough to seize standard aluminum operators inside five to seven years. CWS and ES Windows both offer marine-grade hardware lines that are tested for coastal exposure, and we quote them standard for any job within sight of the water. Farther inland it’s less critical, but for the cost difference, most Hollywood homeowners within the salt-air zone choose the upgrade and never think about it again. Call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your particular block warrants it.
You can, and it’s done by building a proper rough-opening frame inside the masonry. Many of Hollywood’s post-war CBS homes were built without wooden bucks – the jalousie or single-pane sliders were set directly into the block and parged over with stucco. When we replace those, we install a pressure-treated sub-buck at the opening’s perimeter, shim it true, anchor with Tapcons on a 16-inch pattern, and flash the sill with tape before setting the new window. That’s what creates the tight seal – not caulk, but structure. The result passes inspection and stays dry. For a free assessment of your specific openings, call (863) 208-5172.
Yes, and the biggest single variable is whether you’re replacing jalousie or single-pane aluminum. A sealed Low-E unit with an argon fill and a U-factor under 0.30 cuts conduction and infiltration dramatically compared to open louvers that leak conditioned air around the clock. In Hollywood’s cooling-dominated climate, that’s where your FPL billing drops. We quote ENERGY STAR lines from ECO Window Systems and ES Windows with the U-factor and SHGC printed on the estimate, so you can see the spec before you buy. For a side-by-side comparison of your options, call (863) 208-5172.
