Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Impact Windows & Doors for Hollywood Homeowners

Impact Windows & Doors in Hollywood are not an upgrade - they’re the difference between a house that rides out a hurricane and one that doesn’t. We install and service impact-rated windows, sliding glass doors, entry doors, and garage doors for homeowners across Hollywood, and we’ve been doing this work since 2008 through a second-generation glazier’s craft tradition. Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 on a simple rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. When you call (863) 334-2933, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person who can schedule your free estimate.

What Our Impact Windows & Doors Service Includes

Impact-rated openings are a system, not a single product. The glass, the frame, the anchoring, and the seal all have to work together or the rating means nothing. Here’s what we handle for Hollywood homeowners, one opening at a time.

Hurricane Impact Windows

Hurricane impact windows use laminated glass and reinforced frames to hold their position when debris hits at wind-driven speeds. Hollywood sits in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the building code here is stricter than almost anywhere else in the country. TruePane measures every opening twice before ordering, installs to the manufacturer’s published specs, and registers both warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

A sliding glass door is the largest single pane of glass in most Hollywood homes, which makes it the most vulnerable opening in a storm. Impact-rated sliders use heavy laminated glass and interlocking frames that resist both wind pressure and flying debris. We level the track, set the rollers true, and adjust the lock so the door slides with two fingers and seals tight in the frame.

Impact Entry & French Doors

Front doors and French doors get overlooked in hurricane prep, but a failed entry door lets wind pressure inside the house and can lift the roof off. Impact-rated entry doors combine laminated glass with reinforced stiles and multi-point locking hardware. We install wood, fiberglass, and steel impact doors, and we pay close attention to the threshold and weatherstripping because that’s where Hollywood’s summer rain finds its way in.

Impact Garage Doors

A garage door is the largest unsupported span on most Hollywood homes, and a standard door will bow inward under hurricane pressure and blow out the garage. Impact-rated garage doors use reinforced panels, heavier track, and bracing that ties the door to the jambs. TruePane inspects the spring, track, and opener mounting points as part of every garage door install because a door that holds in a storm but won’t open the next morning is not done right.

Hurricane Shutters & Protection

Some Hollywood homes are better served by shutters than by replacing every opening, especially on older concrete block houses with odd-sized windows. We install accordion, roll-down, and panel shutters, and we make sure the tracks and anchors are set into solid material, not just stucco. When you call, we’ll give you an honest comparison: shutter cost versus impact glass cost for your specific openings, on paper, side by side.

Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance

Most Hollywood homes built before the 2001 Florida Building Code were not designed for the wind loads the code now requires. A wind mitigation inspection identifies weak points - openings, roof-to-wall connections, gable ends - that drive up insurance premiums. We don’t just sell windows; we help you understand what your inspection report says, what needs fixing, and what doesn’t, so you spend money where it actually lowers your risk.

Brands We Service for Impact Windows & Doors

We’re an authorized installer for and PGT, and we work on units as well. With Marvin, we focus on factory-finish integrity and proper flashing detail - Marvin’s coastal lines hold up in Hollywood’s salt air, but only if the install is precise. We’ve set enough Marvin impact windows to know their mulling and anchoring requirements without opening the manual.

PGT is a Florida company, built for Florida wind codes, and we install their WinGuard and PremierVu lines on a regular basis. If you have Milgard or Simonton windows that were installed years ago and are now fogging, binding, or leaking air, we service those too. Whether you have one of those brands or any other make, we can quote the work, source the parts, and stand behind the install.

Signs You Need Impact Windows & Doors Right Now

• Your windows are original to a pre-2001 house. Hollywood’s building code changed dramatically after Hurricane Andrew, and openings installed before then rarely meet current High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards. If your windows are twenty-plus years old, you’re paying more for insurance than you need to and you’re exposed in a way new impact glass would fix.
• You see condensation or fog between the panes. That means the seal has failed and the insulated glass unit is no longer doing its job. A fogged impact window still stops debris, but it has lost its energy performance and will eventually cloud permanently. We replace the glass unit, not the whole window, when the frame is still sound.
• Your windows or doors are hard to open, or they bind in summer. Hollywood’s heat and humidity make wood frames swell and aluminum frames shift. A window that won’t open is a window that won’t close and lock properly either, and a door that binds in July is a door that won’t seal when the wind picks up.
• Your insurance company sent you a wind mitigation rejection or a premium hike. Insurers in Florida are re-underwriting policies every year now, and unprotected openings are one of the fastest ways to lose a discount or a policy altogether. We install to the current code, pull the permits, and make sure your paperwork reflects the work so your next inspection goes through clean.
• You’re planning a renovation but don’t want to touch the windows twice. If you’re doing a kitchen or a room addition in Hollywood, the new openings have to meet current code anyway. Doing the whole elevation at once is cheaper than doing it in two phases, and we’ll coordinate with your contractor so the sequence is right.

Our Impact Windows & Doors Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Measure and document. We measure every opening twice with a laser and a tape, and we photograph the existing condition before anything is ordered. This catches out-of-square rough openings, rotten bucks, and existing water damage that would otherwise show up mid-install as a surprise.
2. 2
   Quote on paper, side by side. We put manufacturer lines next to each other in writing: glass type, frame material, U-factor, design pressure rating, and warranty terms. You see exactly what you’re buying before you buy it. No verbal estimates, no vague “good quality” language.
3. 3
   Order and permit. We pull the permit for every install in Hollywood and we order from the manufacturer with the exact sizes and options from the signed quote. If lead times shift, we call you before you have to call us.
4. 4
   Install to manufacturer spec. Uniformed, background-checked technicians set every window and door to the manufacturer’s published requirements - flashing, anchoring, shimming, and sealant included. We don’t skip steps and we don’t improvise, because the warranty depends on the install.
5. 5
   Register both warranty layers in writing. Before we leave, we register the manufacturer’s warranty and our own Done Right Promise, with durations stated on paper. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
