AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Hollywood
Custom window and door work in Hollywood is governed by a code most Florida cities never have to think about. Every replacement unit here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Broward-recognized HVHZ product approval. That single requirement changes which products work, how the permit gets signed off, and what your insurance adjuster will ask for after a storm. Our Custom Windows & Doors team has been navigating that paperwork for Hollywood homeowners and condo boards long enough to know what gets rejected and what passes the first time. If you’re planning custom shape windows, commercial storefront glazing, or architectural grilles, call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll talk through the code requirements and a realistic price for your building.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, but the tradecraft behind it runs four decades deep. Dale’s rule, the one that named the company, is simple: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. It’s a standard that matters more in Hollywood than almost anywhere else in Broward, because a window that’s out of true here doesn’t just look wrong. It leaks, it binds, and under wind load it fails.
Hollywood customers call us because we’re not a franchise playbook. We’re a local crew with background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice and put manufacturer quotes side by side on paper before you spend a dollar. Our work in Hollywood spans the 1950s CBS ranch homes off Hollywood Boulevard, the mid-rise condos along A1A, and the older commercial strips near Federal Highway. We know which buildings have HOA architectural review boards that meet once a month, and we know what those boards will ask for. That local knowledge saves weeks on a project.
When you call (863) 334-2933, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. That matters when you have a condo board deadline or an insurance renewal question sitting on your desk.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Hollywood
Custom Shape Windows
Circle tops, eyebrow arches, trapezoids, half-rounds, octagons. Hollywood’s older homes and the Art Deco-influenced beachfront buildings are full of non-standard openings, and a stock window won’t fit them properly. We order custom shape windows from manufacturers including Jeld-Wen and PGT with impact ratings that satisfy HVHZ code. The opening gets templated precisely, the unit gets fabricated to match, and the frame gets set true. In western Hollywood’s ranch homes, we regularly replace fixed picture units with operable custom shapes that improve cross-ventilation. In the condos off A1A, we match the existing sightlines so the HOA’s architectural committee signs off without a fight.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Hollywood’s commercial corridors, the storefronts along Hollywood Boulevard, Federal Highway, and the streets north of Young Circle, sit in the same HVHZ zone as the residential towers. A commercial glazing job that doesn’t carry a Miami-Dade NOA can fail inspection and stall a lease. TruePane installs, replaces, and services commercial storefront systems, including impact-rated curtain wall components, for Hollywood businesses that can’t afford downtime. We coordinate with Broward County permitting and keep the work moving on building schedules.
Curtain Wall Systems
Mid-rise and high-rise buildings along Hollywood Beach use curtain wall systems that take the full Atlantic wind load, plus nonstop salt exposure. When a curtain wall fails, it fails building-wide. We bring the same craftsmanship to curtain wall repair and replacement that we bring to a single custom window: manufacturers vetted for HVHZ product approvals, both warranty layers registered in writing, and no surprise line items. For Hollywood condo associations facing SB 4-D milestone inspection triggers, a documented curtain wall replacement is often the difference between a clean report and a flagged finding.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites and architectural grilles are how a replacement window keeps the character of a 1960s Hollywood beachfront building while meeting modern wind codes. TruePane works with Simonton and Ply Gem product lines to put true divided or simulated divided lites into custom openings. This work matters on buildings where the HOA’s architectural uniformity rules are written into the condo docs. We match bar width, profile, and color, and we document the product approval behind every unit. No architectural review board accepts a window that looks close; they accept one that matches.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Hollywood we lean on the ones that carry the right HVHZ paperwork. Hollywood customers see PGT, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, and Ply Gem quoted side by side on paper, with frame material, glass package, and product approval number listed for each. We stock common parts and hardware for these lines locally, which keeps repair and replacement turnaround faster than shipping from out of state. If you’re comparing quotes, ask every bidder to list the Miami-Dade NOA number next to each product. Ours are on the quote before you sign.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Missing Miami-Dade NOA on the quote. A bidder who can’t produce the product approval number up front is selling a window that will fail your permit review. We see this weekly from out-of-area installers who don’t work in HVHZ territory.
- Original jalousie windows in Hollywood Beach condos. Louvered glass provides essentially zero hurricane resistance and is flatly non-compliant under current code. Replacing just the glass doesn’t fix the problem. The whole frame has to come out, and the HOA has to approve the replacement model.
- Salt corrosion on ocean-facing elevations. Aluminum frames on A1A and Intracoastal-facing elevations oxidize within a few years. Hardware seizes. Rollers bind. In Hollywood, material selection isn’t academic; it determines whether the window works for ten years or fifteen.
- Architectural uniformity violations. A single unit replaced without board approval triggers a violation notice and a stop on the rest of the building’s window program. We’ve walked condo boards through the approval process enough times to know what documentation to submit the first time.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL
Custom shape windows in Hollywood typically run $900 to $2,800 per opening, depending on size, glass package, and impact rating. Architectural grilles and SDLs add roughly $150 to $400 per window. A commercial storefront glazing replacement on Federal Highway runs $3,000 to $12,000 per storefront depending on linear feet and existing frame condition. Curtain wall repair work is priced by the elevation and the extent of frame damage; a single-lite replacement commonly runs $1,200 to $4,000. The biggest cost driver in Hollywood is product approval documentation. A compliant window costs more because the engineering, testing, and certification already happened. A cheap quote that omits the NOA will cost you the permit, the inspection, and possibly the insurance claim. Call (863) 334-2933 for a written line-item quote. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood sits entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Broward-recognized HVHZ product approval. There is no exception for units on interior walls or upper floors. If the window is being replaced, it has to meet HVHZ. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll show you which impact-rated custom shapes are available in your opening size.
Your board, or its architectural review committee, needs the Miami-Dade NOA number or Broward-recognized HVHZ product approval for each window model being installed, plus the installation details matching the approval. Boards also typically require a scope of work and proof of contractor licensure. TruePane provides the complete package before the permit filing. Call (863) 334-2933 and ask us to prepare a documentation packet. We do the same for the association filing if it’s building-wide.
Not if you want a code-compliant result. Jalousie frames are structurally different from impact-rated window systems, and no glass-only replacement gives you a Miami-Dade NOA. The whole frame has to come out. In a Hollywood Beach condo, that also means HOA approval. Some owners in single-family homes keep one jalousie in a porch or utility room where it’s not a required replacement, but any unit that touches the building envelope and is being renovated has to go impact-rated. Call (863) 334-2933 for options that match your existing look.
If a window fails during a storm and you can’t produce the product approval and the permit record, your windstorm carrier can deny the breach claim. Documented compliance, the NOA, the Broward permit, and the passed inspection, is what the adjuster looks for before they pay. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and we keep your permit and approval records on file. Call (863) 334-2933 if you want a compliance review of windows that have already been installed.
A compliant quote lists the product approval number and the manufacturer’s name next to each window line. It includes the permit fee, the inspection coordination, and the warranty registration paperwork. A cheap quote lists a window price and stops. In Hollywood, the difference is whether the job passes Broward County’s HVHZ sign-off and whether your insurance holds up afterward. Call (863) 334-2933 for the full line-item quote. We put it in writing before you decide.
We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and we’ve been doing this work the same way since the day Dale Kessler opened the shop: measure twice, document everything, register the warranties, and stand behind it. On a 1960s beachfront condo along A1A, our crew replaced an entire ocean-facing elevation of original jalousie windows with impact-rated casement units from Andersen. The HOA required architectural uniformity and Broward County permitting, so we documented each unit’s Miami-Dade NOA, staged the flashing tape and fusion-welded frames to match existing sightlines, and coordinated the HVHZ sign-off with the inspector. The result: uniform, code-compliant fenestration with argon-filled insulated glass units that cut wind-driven water intrusion and reduced the association’s insurance renewal friction. That’s the standard we bring to every custom window and door project in Hollywood. Call (863) 334-2933 today to schedule your free estimate. We’ll be there when we say.
