Fast, Reliable Window Installation Across Hollywood
Window installation in Hollywood, FL typically runs $450-$1,900 per opening for retrofit work, and $900-$3,400 when the rough opening needs repair before the new unit goes in. Most Hollywood homes we see are concrete block ranches from the 1950s through 1970s, and the original windows in those houses have been failing for years. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before our truck leaves your driveway. Call (813) 320-9346 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still sits on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard matters in Hollywood more than most places, because salt air east of US-1 eats aluminum frames alive and a window that isn’t set square and sealed right will bind within two seasons. We’re not a franchise playbook. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in town in thirty years.
Hollywood homeowners call us because our background-checked, uniformed technicians show up when we say they’ll show up, and because our quotes are square deals. What’s on paper is what you pay. We carry a strong local reputation across Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, and the Hollywood Beach condo corridor, and every job is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither.
Dispatch and scheduling for Hollywood run through our Miami (South FL) office, which means a real person answers the phone no matter when you call. That person knows the difference between a 1963 CBS ranch in West Hollywood and a mid-rise condo off A1A, and they’ll route the right crew to your door.
Our Window Installation Services in Hollywood
We install, replace, and service windows and doors for residential homeowners throughout Hollywood. The four jobs we do most often in this city are below, and each one gets measured, quoted, and installed the same way: twice measured, side-by-side manufacturer comparison on paper, and a written warranty registration before we leave.
Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows are the most common replacement in Hollywood’s ranch homes because they fit the original rough openings of 1950s and 1960s single-pane units with minimal structural work. In most Hollywood CBS houses, the top and bottom sashes on the original aluminum units have seized from salt corrosion, and the new fusion-welded vinyl or fiberglass double hung with impact-rated glazing slides clean for decades. A typical double hung retrofit in Hollywood runs $550-$1,300 per window, depending on size and whether the rough opening needs re-flashing.

Casement Windows
Casement windows give you a full opening for breeze, which matters in a city where the summer wind off the Atlantic is the difference between running the AC and not. The crank hardware on old Hollywood casements is often the first thing to fail from humidity and salt exposure, and once it seizes, the window won’t seal. We replace those with multi-point locking casements that seal tight against wind-driven rain. Expect $650-$1,600 per casement replacement in Hollywood, more if the opening needs structural repair.

Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are common across Hollywood Beach condos and 1960s ranches, and they fail in a specific way here: the track fills with fine salt grit, the rollers grind down, and eventually the panel won’t move at all. In older mid-rise buildings, the aluminum frame was often embedded directly into the concrete when the building went up, so replacement means cutting the frame out and re-flashing the opening. A typical Hollywood sliding window replacement runs $600-$1,800 per unit. Sliding glass doors in condos run higher, and the building’s structural envelope often dictates what’s possible.

Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows in Hollywood homes are usually the ones facing the water or the street, and they’re the ones that take the worst of the sun and salt. The original single-pane glass in these units does almost nothing for heat gain, and the aluminum frames have usually pitted beyond repair east of Dixie Highway. We replace them with impact-rated, low-E argon-filled picture windows that cut heat transfer and hold up to salt exposure. Budget $500-$2,000 per fixed window depending on glass package and frame material.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Hollywood’s coastal conditions, we quote a lot of PGT, CGI, and Simonton impact-rated lines, because their HVHZ product approvals are documented and their hardware holds up to salt air better than most. We’ll lay out each manufacturer’s warranty side by side on paper so you see exactly what’s covered, for how long, and in writing. Parts for these lines ship to our Hollywood service area quickly, which keeps replacement work moving.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
When we open up a Hollywood wall from the 1950s through 1970s, here’s what we actually find. This is the stuff that changes a quote, and we write it into the contract before we start so it never blindsides you.
- Salt-eaten aluminum frames. East of US-1, aluminum window frames pitted with salt oxidation show up 10-15 years earlier than they do in inland Broward cities like Davie or Pembroke Pines. The sashes seize, the hardware snaps, and the frame often pulls away from the CBS wall entirely. Sometimes the rough opening needs repair before a new unit can be set.
- Jalousie windows that can’t be salvaged. Hollywood Hills and West Hollywood are full of original jalousie windows, and those are uninsurable under most modern homeowner policies. They don’t seal against wind-driven rain, they can’t meet HVHZ standards, and when they come out, the surrounding block often needs re-flashing and repointing.
- Failed waterproofing around original openings. Wind-driven rain from summer storms forces water behind the original window flanges in CBS block, rotting the interior jamb and compromising the rough opening. It’s hidden until the old unit comes out, then it’s a required repair before the new window can be set.
- Wiring and framing surprises after the permit triggers inspection. A window replacement in Hollywood can trigger a code inspection that flags outdated wiring or undersized framing in the surrounding wall. Without a written allowance in the contract, that discovery stalls the job or hits you with a change order you never approved. We price the allowance up front and get your signature before we touch it.

FAQs - Window Installation in Hollywood
Hollywood sits entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the strictest wind-borne debris designation in the country. That means every window or door product must be independently product-approved to HVHZ standards, not just the broader Florida Building Code approval. The permit also triggers inspection of the surrounding wall condition, which is why we inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any surprise in writing before we touch it. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate that accounts for all of it.
There are real structural limits. Original jalousie windows in 1950s-1970s CBS homes were set into narrow openings with framing that often wasn’t designed to carry the weight of an impact-rated unit. We’ve pulled jalousies with corroded aluminum frames that had separated from the block, and the lintel above needed repointing before any new window could be set. We re-flash the rough opening, write the allowance into the contract, and get your signature on the exact price before we start. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk through your specific walls.
For homes east of US-1 toward Hollywood Beach, budget roughly $150-$800 per opening for hidden repair work beyond the window itself, with the understanding that some openings run higher when the lintel or rough framing needs real work. That’s what we write into the contract as a line-item allowance before we begin, so there’s no surprise bill after the fact. Call (813) 320-9346 to get an exact quote for your building’s condition.
Impact glass alone blocks wind-borne debris, but it doesn’t do much for heat gain, and Hollywood’s year-round sun loads up west-facing rooms in a hurry. Low-E argon-filled glass cuts that heat transfer meaningfully, and near the coast the marine-grade or PVC/fiberglass frame is functionally required, not an upsell. We quote both packages side by side on paper so you see the cost difference and the energy savings in writing. Call (813) 320-9346 for free line-item pricing.
That’s salt oxidation. Atlantic salt air east of US-1 corrodes aluminum frames and hardware far faster than inland Florida, so the sashes seize and the cranks snap even when the glass looks fine. In 1960s and 1970s Hollywood homes, that corrosion is often advanced enough that the frame has pulled away from the CBS wall behind it, and the whole rough opening needs attention before a new unit goes in. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll inspect the east-facing windows first, because those are the ones failing soonest.
When you open up a 1963 concrete block ranch in Hollywood Hills, you don’t know what you’re going to find until the old window comes out. Our crew pulled original jalousie windows on one of those jobs to find corroded aluminum frames separated from the block and a lintel that needed repointing before any new window could be set. We re-flashed the rough opening with butyl flashing tape, installed fusion-welded vinyl double-hung units with impact-rated glazing and low-E argon-filled glass, and the homeowner signed off on the lintel repair price before we touched it. That’s how we work in Hollywood, and that’s why the 90-Day Done Right Promise means something here. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule your free estimate. A live person answers.
