AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood
Window replacement in Hollywood, FL runs between $650 and $1,850 per opening for most single-family homes, with full-frame impact-rated work on older CBS ranch houses starting around $1,100 per window. If you’re reading this from a 1960s home in Hollywood Hills or a condo near the beach, you’re likely dealing with salt-corroded frames, fogged glass, or original jalousies that won’t pass a wind-mitigation inspection. TruePane has worked this corridor long enough to know what Hollywood’s building department will approve, what your HOA will accept, and what actually holds up against Atlantic salt air. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through the numbers before anyone touches a frame.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re not the cheapest bid in Hollywood, and we don’t try to be. What we offer is a job done right the first time, backed by a Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. That matters more than usual in Hollywood, where the HVHZ code layer and salt-air corrosion mean a window installed wrong will fail faster here than almost anywhere else in Broward County.
Our crews know the difference between a 1950s jalousie frame on Johnson Street and a 1980s condo unit on Hollywood Beach. We pull Broward County permits on every job that requires one, we measure every opening twice, and we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. Dale Kessler founded this company on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies whether we’re replacing one fogged window in a Hollywood Lakes bungalow or thirty units in a beachfront mid-rise.

Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means we remove the entire existing window, frame and all, down to the rough opening. In Hollywood, this is the right call for most 1950s-70s CBS ranch homes in neighborhoods like Hollywood Hills and Driftwood, where the original aluminum frames are often corroded from decades of salt-laden air and the rough opening itself needs repair before a new unit can sit true. This is also the only way to correct a window that was set out of square on the original build.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement fits a new window unit inside the existing frame. It’s a good fit for newer Hollywood homes where the frame is still structurally sound and square. It’s typically less expensive than full frame work, but in Hollywood we’ll always inspect the condition of the existing frame and flashing before we recommend inserts. A salt-corroded aluminum frame hidden behind trim will compromise even the best insert unit within a few years.
Storm Window Replacement
Every replacement window in Hollywood must meet Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. That means Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Broward-recognized HVHZ product approval on every unit, no exceptions. We install impact-rated windows that carry the needed product approvals, and we handle the permitting paperwork that comes with them. If your current setup is original single-pane jalousie, you’re not just losing energy efficiency. You’re carrying a window that provides essentially zero hurricane resistance under current code.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing old single-pane windows with low-E, argon-filled insulated units changes the inside of a Hollywood home more than most people expect. We see utility bills drop meaningfully in western Hollywood ranch homes where the original jalousie windows ran the full length of the wall. The right glass package also cuts the glare and heat gain that come with direct South Florida sun. We’ll show you the numbers on glass packages side by side before you commit.

You’ll see exactly what each line costs, what warranty it carries, and what fits your opening before you decide.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
Hollywood’s combination of Atlantic exposure, dense condo stock, and 1950s-70s construction creates a specific set of failure patterns. These show up on a large share of our Hollywood estimates:
- Salt-air oxidation of aluminum frames. Properties within a few blocks of the Intracoastal or the ocean see aluminum window frames oxidize and pit within 5 to 7 years, even when the glass itself is still good. That oxidation breaks the frame seal, and fogged insulated glass follows soon after. We see this constantly in Hollywood Lakes and along the beach corridor, on homes that are otherwise well maintained.
- Retrofitted impact glass in flimsy jalousie frames. We’ve inspected Hollywood homes where someone mounted impact-rated glazing into 1950s jalousie frames without structural reinforcement. The frame flexes under wind load, the glazing leaks, and the work fails Broward HVHZ inspection. Retrofitting impact glass into a frame that was never built for it is a code compliance problem waiting to happen.
- Condo board window specs that lack HVHZ product approval. Hollywood Beach condos sometimes adopt a single window specification for the whole building without verifying that the product carries the right Miami-Dade or Broward HVHZ approval. Units get installed, then the paperwork fails, and the building is stuck reworking the job. We’ve helped boards sort out the product-approval paper trail before installation, which is far cheaper than fixing it after.
- Roller and balance failure on coastal double-hungs. Salt air attacks hardware too. We regularly replace balances, rollers, and locks on Hollywood windows that are only a decade old. If your double-hung doesn’t stay open or grinds when you open it, it’s likely not the track. It’s corroded hardware working against the unit.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL
Here’s what we see across Hollywood right now, based on typical project scopes:
- Insert replacement, standard double-hung: $650 to $1,100 per opening, installed

- Sill and rough-opening repair due to salt damage: $90 to $300 per opening depending on how far the rot or corrosion has spread
What moves the price most in Hollywood? Product approval documentation, opening condition, and whether we’re working with a condo board’s uniform spec or a single-family homeowner. Permitting for HVHZ work is another real cost, and we include it in the quote so the number you’re given is the number you write the check for. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free, written line-item estimate. We price the job on paper before work starts, and we don’t change the number when we find what’s behind the trim.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood falls entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement window or door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Broward-recognized HVHZ product approval. This applies to single-family homes just as much as condos. That requirement does not apply 15 miles north in Palm Beach County, so anyone telling you to skip the paperwork is giving you advice that will fail inspection in Hollywood. We handle product approval and permitting on every Hollywood job, and both are included in your quote.
Fogged double-hung windows near Hollywood Beach are almost always the result of salt-air oxidation attacking the aluminum frame, which breaks the seal on the insulated glass unit. Once the desiccant inside the unit is saturated, you get condensation between the panes that cannot be cleaned off. The salt air compresses that timeline to 5 to 7 years on ocean- and Intracoastal-facing elevations. The fix is usually a replacement unit with a frame material that better resists salt corrosion. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll inspect the frame to tell you whether you need a new sash or a full replacement.
In most Hollywood Beach condos, the association governs window specifications and appearance, and they typically require building-wide uniformity on exterior elevations. You usually cannot replace one jalousie window with a different style or finish without board approval, and many boards now require all units on a given elevation to match a single approved specification. That said, some buildings allow interior or rear-elevation variances. We’ve worked with Hollywood Beach boards to establish a compliant, uniform spec that satisfies the HVHZ product-approval requirement and looks the same across every unit. The first step is getting the board’s current window policy in writing, and we can help you navigate that conversation.
Replacing original single-pane jalousie or aluminum windows with low-E, argon-filled impact units typically cuts heat gain through glazing by 40 to 60 percent, which translates directly into lower air conditioning runtimes during Hollywood’s nine-month cooling season. Homeowners in western Hollywood ranch homes, where long runs of original jalousie windows run wall-to-wall, often see the biggest dollar change right away. The exact savings depend on your home’s orientation, ceiling insulation, and how much of your cooling load comes through your windows versus the walls and attic. We’ll walk you through realistic numbers before you buy.
Full-frame replacement removes the entire existing window down to the rough opening, so we can repair any salt-damaged framing, install new flashing, and set the new unit perfectly square. Insert replacement fits the new window inside the existing frame, which is faster and less expensive but leaves whatever corrosion or rot already exists hidden behind the trim. On a 1960s or 1970s CBS ranch in western Hollywood that still has original aluminum frames, full-frame is usually the right recommendation because the original flashing and rough opening have almost certainly been compromised by decades of moisture and salt air. We’ll open up one window and inspect before recommending either path.
