Frequently Asked Questions - Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL

Pricing & Cost FAQs
Window replacement in Hollywood typically runs $450 to $1,400 per window installed, with most full-home projects landing between $6,000 and $22,000 depending on window count, material, and glass package. Impact-rated windows required by South Florida building code run higher than standard insulated units, and homes in Hollywood Lakes or Emerald Hills with older wood frames often need additional carpentry work that shifts the number. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what each option costs before you choose. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free written estimate at your home.
Impact window installation in Hollywood typically costs $700 to $1,800 per window installed, with full-home projects running $12,000 to $38,000. The wide range comes from product grade: aluminum impact frames cost less than vinyl or wood-clad impact lines, and laminated glass thickness varies by design pressure rating. Homes east of Federal Highway in Hollywood Beach and the barrier island carry higher wind load requirements, which can push engineering costs up. We'll show you ES Windows and ECO Window Systems impact options side by side with line-item pricing. Call (863) 334-2933 to schedule your free estimate.
A new front door in Hollywood runs $1,200 to $4,500 installed, depending on material, size, glass, and whether the frame needs rebuilding. Fiberglass doors from Therma-Tru start on the lower end and hold up well in South Florida humidity, while custom wood doors carry higher material and finishing costs. If your existing frame is out of true or has rot from years of rain exposure, expect some carpentry line items on the quote. We write every estimate as a fixed price with no change orders. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free door estimate.
Three things move the number more than anything: impact rating requirements, frame material, and the condition of your existing openings. Hollywood sits in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so many homes need impact-rated or protected openings to pass inspection, and that glass package costs more than standard insulated units. Aluminum frames cost less than vinyl or wood-clad. And if your jambs are rotted, out of true, or not square, the carpentry to correct them adds real labor hours. We price every component separately so you see where the money goes. Call (863) 334-2933 for a written line-item quote.
No. We write fixed-price quotes with line items for every opening, and we don't issue change orders unless you ask us to add scope. If we open a wall and find hidden rot or termite damage, we'll stop, show you what we found, and give you a written price for the extra work before we touch it. You approve it or you don't. That's the whole point of the Keystone Standard: no surprises on the bill. Call (863) 334-2933 to schedule a free estimate and see exactly how we price a job.
Yes. We come to your home in Hollywood at no charge, measure every opening twice, and write a fixed-price quote with the manufacturer lines side by side on paper. You keep the quote whether you hire us or not, and there's no pressure and no follow-up phone campaign. An estimate is our chance to show you how we work, and it costs you nothing. Call (863) 334-2933 to book yours.
Service & Process FAQs
It starts with a phone call to (863) 334-2933. We schedule a free in-home estimate, measure every opening, and write a fixed quote. Once you approve it, we order materials, pull permits, and set an install date. The crew removes the old windows, corrects any framing issues, sets the new units square and plumb, seals and flashes them, and trims out the interior and exterior. We register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway, and we walk the job with you at the end. In Hollywood, most whole-home replacements take two to five working days.
Most full-home window replacements in Hollywood take two to five working days once materials are on site. A simple slider or single-hung swap might finish in a few hours. Impact window jobs with larger openings and structural fastening requirements run longer. Weather matters too; summer thunderstorms can pause exterior work for a few hours. We'll give you a realistic schedule in writing before you sign, and we'll be there when we say. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate and a timeline for your home.
Yes. Window and door replacement in Hollywood requires a building permit, and we pull every permit on every job. We schedule the inspections, meet the inspector on site, and close the permit out when the work passes. If you're in a condo or HOA in Hallandale Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, or Hollywood Beach, we also handle the association approval paperwork. You shouldn't have to navigate city hall; that's our job. Call (863) 334-2933 to ask about your specific property.
You can replace a single window. We take one-window jobs in Hollywood and across Broward County without hesitation, and we price them the same way we price full-home work: fixed quote, line items, no pressure to add more. The only caveat is matching. If your other windows are original from the 1980s, a new unit won't match exactly in frame color or glass tint. We'll show you the closest available match and be honest about what it will look like. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free estimate on any number of windows.
We measure the existing opening, order the door to size, remove the old frame, check and correct the rough opening for square and level, set the new door, and seal and fasten it to meet Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code requirements for Hollywood. Most slider replacements finish in one day, though two-story or impact-rated doors can take longer. We handle the permit, the inspection, and the warranty registration. Call (863) 334-2933 to schedule a free in-home quote for your sliding door.
We do both. Common repairs in Hollywood include replacing fogged insulated glass units, repairing or replacing balances and rollers, fixing hardware on older aluminum frames, and replacing weatherstripping. If a window is repairable, we'll tell you and price the repair. If it's not, we'll tell you that too, and show you replacement options. We don't push replacement when a repair is honest work. Call (863) 334-2933 and describe what's going on; we'll tell you straight what it likely needs.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We install ES Windows and ECO Window Systems as our primary impact and non-impact lines, and we can source other manufacturers when a job calls for it. ES Windows builds high-design-pressure aluminum and vinyl impact products engineered for South Florida's wind loads. ECO Window Systems offers a strong value line in impact and standard insulated configurations. We quote brands side by side on paper so you can compare materials, ratings, and prices honestly. Call (863) 334-2933 and we'll bring samples to your home.
We install Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors as our primary front and side door line, along with Mr-Glass aluminum and vinyl sliding doors where the job calls for them. Therma-Tru fiberglass stands up to South Florida humidity without warping or swelling the way wood doors do, and it accepts paint or stain finishes well. Mr-Glass sliders offer solid value in standard and impact configurations for patios and balconies. Call (863) 334-2933 for a free door consultation at your home in Hollywood.
Impact windows protect continuously without any action from you, while shutters only work if someone is home to deploy them before a storm. In Hollywood's evacuation and storm zones, impact windows also reduce noise, block UV fading, and qualify for wind mitigation insurance credits on most policies. Shutters cost less upfront for a given opening, but they do nothing for daily comfort or security. Many homeowners in Hollywood Lakes and Emerald Hills choose impact windows when replacing anyway, because the incremental cost beats buying shutters later. Call (863) 334-2933 to price both paths for your home.
Both work in Hollywood, and each has tradeoffs. Aluminum frames handle the structural demands of large impact openings and resist salt air corrosion well, but they conduct heat more than vinyl. Vinyl frames insulate better and cost less, but they expand and contract with South Florida's temperature swings and need proper installation to stay sealed. For larger openings and high-wind exposure near the coast, we often recommend aluminum impact lines from ES Windows. For standard sizes, ECO vinyl windows deliver strong value. Call (863) 334-2933 and we'll match the right product to your specific openings.

We've worked with buildings requiring Miami-Dade NOA products and buildings with historical review boards. Bring us your association's requirements and we'll take it from there. Call (863) 334-2933.
Emergency & Response FAQs
Secure the opening first: clear people and pets from the area, and if water is coming in, contain it with towels or a tarp from inside. Broken storm glass is sharp, so don't handle large shards bare-handed. Once the weather has passed, call (863) 334-2933. We can board up or tarp the opening temporarily, then measure and order the replacement once conditions settle. If the break happened during an active storm, stay away from the window until winds die down; pressure changes can push more glass inward.
Yes, in an emergency we'll get your opening secured as quickly as possible. A broken window or door leaves your home exposed to weather, pests, and intruders, so we treat it as a priority. Once the opening is secured, we'll measure for permanent replacement and give you a written quote. Call (863) 334-2933 the moment you know you have a problem; the phone is answered 24/7 by a live coordinator who'll connect you with the local team.
The phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call (863) 334-2933 after hours with a broken window or a door that won't secure, a live coordinator will take your information and connect you with the local team. For urgent situations like storm damage or break-ins, we prioritize securing your home as the first step, then schedule the permanent repair. You'll never reach an answering machine when your house is open to the street.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
Every job carries the Keystone Standard: both warranty layers in writing, durations stated, 90 days on our workmanship, no arguing. That means the manufacturer's warranty on the product and the manufacturer's warranty on the glass are both registered in your name before our truck leaves your driveway, and if our installation workmanship fails within 90 days, we come back and fix it. No paperwork, no arguing. Call (863) 334-2933 and we'll explain exactly what's covered on the products you're considering.
The Keystone Standard is the promise we stamp on every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Practically, it means we measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers in writing before we leave, and stand behind our workmanship for 90 days. If something isn't right, we come back. No paperwork, no arguing. That's been the rule since Dale Kessler founded the company in 2008, and it's still the rule in Hollywood today. Call (863) 334-2933 to work with a team that means it.
If a sealed insulated glass unit fogs between the panes after we install it, that's a glass seal failure, and it falls under the manufacturer's glass warranty, which we register in your name at installation. You call us, we confirm the failure, and we handle the manufacturer claim and the replacement glass. If the fogging appears within 90 days of our install and traces back to our work, our workmanship warranty covers the fix. Call (863) 334-2933 and we'll get it sorted.
Yes. Our workmanship is warranted for 90 days, and our phone number doesn't change after you pay the final invoice. If something's not right, call (863) 334-2933 and we'll come back. The company has stood behind its work since 2008, and the Keystone Standard applies in Hollywood exactly as it does everywhere the brand operates. We'd rather fix it today than argue about it next month. That's the whole point of doing it right the first time.
