AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Hollywood
Window installation in Hollywood, FL runs anywhere from $850 to $2,400 per opening for a full tear-out and impact-rated replacement, with casement windows typically landing between $1,100 and $1,900 per unit depending on size and how much masonry work the rough opening needs. Most Hollywood homes we quote are 1950s and 1960s CBS ranches, which means the opening itself often dictates more of the price than the window does. If you’re in Lakes, Emerald Hills, or anywhere off Hollywood Boulevard, call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll send a technician who has actually opened up these walls. We’ve been working Hollywood’s housing stock long enough to know what’s behind the stucco before we cut into it.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule he still keeps on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Hollywood homeowners have a particular reason to care about that. The city sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and a window that’s out of square by half an inch will fail the HVHZ inspection every time. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s not a slogan. It’s the reason Hollywood locals who had a bad experience with a fly-by-night crew end up calling us the second time.
Our installers are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree. No regional call center. When you call about a window install near Taft Street or A1A, you speak to someone who knows the difference between a CBS opening and a wood-framed one, and who can tell you straight what the job will actually take.
Our Window Installation Services in Hollywood
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the workhorse of Hollywood impact retrofits, and for good reason. They seal tight against wind-driven rain, which matters when you’re a mile from the Atlantic and the afternoon storms come through sideways. A typical casement install in a Hollywood CBS home runs $1,100 to $1,900 per unit, including the pressure-treated sub-frame most of these openings need. The crank hardware holds up better in salt air than sliding tracks do, which is why we recommend casements for anything east of Federal Highway.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are a natural fit for Hollywood’s ranch homes, where the original jalousies sat in narrow vertical openings that lend themselves to a hung configuration. Double hungs give you the ventilation of a jalousie without the gaps, rattles, and zero impact rating. In Hollywood, expect $900 to $1,700 per opening for a quality double hung with low-E glass and a Miami-Dade NOA. We can walk you through both sashes on the same trip, because there’s no reason to leave a Hollywood house half-protected.
Sliding Windows
Hollywood’s 1960s subdivisions are full of original aluminum horizontal sliders, and many of them are original to the house. Replacing a slider with a modern impact-rated unit runs $950 to $1,800 in Hollywood, depending on width and whether the existing track can be salvaged or the whole rough opening needs rebuilding. Within a mile of the beach, we recommend marine-grade frames. The standard powder-coated aluminum that’s fine in Cooper City will start pitting in Hollywood Beach’s salt air inside of five years.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed windows are where Hollywood homeowners often get the most energy savings for the dollar, since there are no moving parts to leak air. A large fixed or picture window in Hollywood runs $850 to $1,600 installed, and the labor is simpler than a casement because there’s no operating hardware to set. That said, the frame and anchoring still have to meet full HVHZ specs. A picture window is only as good as the reinforced frame holding it in place when a storm hits.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hollywood work we regularly quote CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems side by side on paper so you can see the differences in U-factor, SHGC, and price before you commit. We don’t play favorites with brands. We play favorites with what holds up on a CBS wall three blocks from the ocean. Our Hollywood crews carry the most common replacement parts for these lines, so a failed thermal seal on a CWS unit doesn’t wait two weeks for a part to ship from another state.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Jalousie windows set flush in masonry with no wood buck. This is the single most common condition in Hollywood’s inland CBS ranches. The original jalousies were mortared directly into the block, so there’s nothing to anchor a modern frame to. A proper retrofit means building a pressure-treated sub-frame and anchoring with Tapcons at exact HVHZ spacing. Skipping this step means the window will leak air and fail inspection.
- Salt-air corrosion on non-marine-grade aluminum. Within a mile of Hollywood Beach and North Beach, we see jamb and sash failures on aluminum frames that are only eight or ten years old. The glass is fine; the hardware is eaten. If you’re east of Dixie Highway, marine-grade frames or fully welded vinyl is the difference between a 15-year window and a 40-year window.
- Mixed fenestration: impact windows next to original jalousies. Some Hollywood homeowners replace the front windows for curb appeal and leave the jalousies on the side and back elevations. That leaves the house with a code-compliant front wall and a wind-borne debris breach on the other three. In a storm, the whole envelope is only as strong as the weakest opening.
- Seal failure from improper flashing on flush openings. When a new frame goes into an old CBS opening without butyl tape and a proper sill pan, the first summer thunderstorm will find the gap. We flash every rough opening, regardless of what was there before. It’s the step that keeps Hollywood’s humidity and rain on the outside where it belongs.
Pricing for Window Installation in Hollywood, FL
In Hollywood, you should expect to pay between $850 and $2,400 per opening for a full window installation, with most standard projects landing around $1,200 to $1,600 per window. Casements run higher because of the hardware; fixed windows run lower because there’s less of it. The Hollywood-specific variable is the rough opening. If your home still has original jalousies set flush in the block, add $150 to $350 per opening for the pressure-treated sub-frame, Tapcon anchoring, and the extra labor to build the opening out correctly. We quote this on paper before any work starts, so you won’t get a surprise line item when the stucco comes off.

FAQs - Window Installation in Hollywood
The price difference comes down to the rough opening. In Hollywood’s CBS ranches, original jalousies were often set flush into the block with no wood buck or frame, so a modern impact window needs a pressure-treated sub-frame built inside the opening, plus Tapcon anchoring at exact HVHZ fastener spacing. A contractor who quotes the window only and ignores the masonry work will be $300 to $500 cheaper per opening on paper, and the bill will change once the stucco comes off. A contractor who has done this before scopes the sub-framing from the start, which is why our written quotes include that line item up front. Call (863) 208-5172 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your openings need before you compare any other bid.
Within one mile of the Atlantic, salt-air corrosion is a near-certainty on non-marine-grade aluminum frames and hardware, and it starts showing up as pitting and failed hardware within five to eight years. East of Dixie Highway is the zone where we strongly recommend marine-grade aluminum or fully welded vinyl frames. West of Dixie, the salt exposure drops off quickly, but the humidity doesn’t, so a quality thermal break still matters everywhere in Hollywood. For an exact recommendation based on your street, call (863) 208-5172.
Yes. Window replacement in Hollywood requires a Broward County building permit, and since Hollywood sits entirely inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, every new window must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. The inspection verifies that the product is NOA-approved, that the anchoring matches the HVHZ fastener pattern, and that the flashing and frame are set correctly. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand with the inspector on the day of the final. If anything fails, we fix it under the Done Right Promise, no arguing.
No. Jalousie frames are not rated for any impact glazing, and there is no Miami-Dade NOA for impact glass in a louvered jalousie frame. The frame itself has no structural capacity to carry a wind-borne debris load, so the glass upgrade would fail inspection and provide no real protection. The code-compliant fix is a full window replacement, and in Hollywood that means building the sub-frame and anchoring to HVHZ spec. Call (863) 208-5172 for a free estimate on a proper replacement.
For Hollywood, target a U-factor of 0.30 or lower and a SHGC of 0.25 or lower. The U-factor handles the thermal barrier, which matters when your air conditioning runs nine months a year. The SHGC handles solar heat gain, which matters when the afternoon sun hits the west side of a concrete block house. Our recent retrofit on a 1963 CBS ranch in the Lakes neighborhood off Hollywood Boulevard put fusion-welded impact casements with argon-filled low-E glass in place of frameless jalousies, and the homeowner now sits at a 0.27 U-factor with a clear view where louvered glass used to rattle in the sea breeze.
If you’re ready to get real numbers for your Hollywood home, call (863) 208-5172 and ask for a free written estimate. We’ll send a technician who knows this housing stock, measures twice, and puts both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
