AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Hollywood
Door installation in Hollywood, FL has to meet a bar most Florida cities don’t: every replacement opening in this city sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the door itself, the anchoring, and the permit paperwork all answer to a stricter code. We’ve done this work in Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, and along the beach corridor for years, and our crews know which products pass inspection east of US-1 and which ones will get torn out. If you’re pricing an entry door, French door, or a full-wall folding door, call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll give you a written, line-item quote that names the product, the NOA number, and the permit scope before you commit to anything.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Most of the Hollywood homes we work in were built between 1950 and 1975. Concrete block walls, original jalousie or single-pane aluminum openings, and decades of Atlantic salt air working on every piece of metal. We’ve walked enough of these houses to know what’s behind the trim before we pull it off. That’s the difference between a quote that holds and one that changes a week into the job.
We’re led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who started TruePane in 2008 because he was tired of watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties get passed off as normal. Our Door Installation crew works under one rule: if the opening is not true, the job is not done. That means we repair corroded subsurfaces, replace rotten blocking, and set the new door plumb and square before we ever call for inspection. Hollywood homeowners have noticed. The kind of review we get most often says the same thing: they showed up when they said they would, and the door still closes true a year later.
Dispatch for Hollywood jobs is coordinated from our Miami/South FL office, so a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians are in Hollywood multiple times every week. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center. If you call (813) 320-9346 at 7 p.m., a person picks up and can schedule the estimate.
Our Door Installation Services in Hollywood
Impact-Rated Entry & Swing Doors
In Hollywood, an entry door is not just the front of your house. It’s the most likely opening to take a direct wind-blown debris hit during a storm, and it’s the first thing an insurance adjuster looks at after one. We install swing doors that carry a Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code Notice of Acceptance for HVHZ, matched to the rough opening with full perimeter anchoring and flashing. For ranch homes in Hollywood Hills and West Hollywood, we typically set fiberglass or steel impact-rated doors with multi-point locks and marine-grade hinges. The quote includes the permit, the NOA registration, and the final inspection.
Double & French Doors
Double French doors are the most common replacement we do on Hollywood Beach condos and 1960s-era CBS homes where a dated slider once sat. The catch in Hollywood is that the original frame was often set into the concrete block when the wall was poured, which means removing it without breaching the structural wall takes patience and the right tools. We pull the old frame carefully, repair the rough opening with pressure-treated blocking, then set an NOA-rated impact French door with stainless hardware rated for coastal exposure. Andersen, Pella, and Marvin all make lines we install regularly here.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Folding door systems are popular in Hollywood’s newer builds and in mid-century remodels where homeowners want to open a whole wall to a screened lanai or pool deck. These are large openings, often 12 to 20 feet wide, and in HVHZ territory they require an engineered header and impact-rated panels with an NOA that specifically covers that configuration. We measure every opening twice, quote the manufacturer line side by side on paper, and make sure the structural load path is documented before the permit goes in. This is not a door you want installed by a crew that has never worked a Hollywood hurricane inspection.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are the statement entry on a lot of Hollywood’s custom homes and renovated mid-century properties, and they carry their own set of engineering requirements here. Because the pivot hinge transfers the full weight of the door to the floor and header rather than to side jambs, the header and subfloor have to be built to carry it, and the panel still has to meet HVHZ impact standards if it’s part of the building envelope. We work with manufacturers including Andersen to spec pivot doors that pass Hollywood’s inspection requirements without watering down the design.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Hollywood work we lean on the brands that hold the right HVHZ approvals and stand behind them: Andersen, Pella, and Marvin for impact-rated entry and French doors, ViewLux for modern pivot and folding systems. Being authorized means we can register both warranty layers - manufacturer’s product warranty and the installation workmanship warranty - in writing before we leave your driveway. It also means we have direct access to replacement hardware and glass, which shortens turnaround when a part matters. If a manufacturer denies a claim, we don’t hand you a phone number and walk away. We stand behind it.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-corrosion on aluminum frames east of Dixie Highway. Atlantic salt air pits aluminum frames and seizes hardware 10 to 15 years earlier in Hollywood than in inland Broward cities. We regularly find 1990s frames that have pulled a half-inch away from the block wall because the embedded anchors rusted out. The new door can’t just sit on top of that. The rough opening has to be repaired first.
- Non-HVHZ doors that fail the required NOA check. A door with only ‘Florida Product Approval’ is not enough on this side of the state. Hollywood inspectors require an NOA matched to the specific model and size. If your installer shows up with the wrong paperwork, the inspection fails and the door has to come out at your expense.
- Original jalousie and single-pane openings in 1950s-70s CBS ranches. These homes are dense throughout Hollywood Hills, West Hollywood, and Driftwood. The old jalousie louver windows and matching jalousie-style doors are mostly uninsurable under modern policies and cannot meet current wind-load code. Replacement means a full impact-rated door and a repaired rough opening, not just a panel swap.
- Condos along Hollywood Beach with frames embedded in concrete. That mid-rise building stock from the 1960s and 70s often has sliding glass door frames set directly into the concrete pour. Removing them risks structural damage if done carelessly. We take the framing out in sections, preserve the structural wall, and set the new impact door on new blocking rather than on the old corroded embeds.
Pricing for Door Installation in Hollywood, FL
A typical impact-rated entry door installed in a Hollywood home runs $2,800 to $6,500 depending on panel size, brand, and whether the rough opening needs structural repair. Double French doors in a CBS ranch or beach condo usually land between $5,500 and $12,000, with coastal-grade stainless hardware and HVHZ anchoring included. Large bifold or folding door systems start around $9,000 and can run past $25,000 on a wide opening that needs an engineered header. Pivot door installs are project-priced because the structural work under the floor and in the header varies so much from house to house.
What separates a compliant Hollywood quote from a cheap one is plain to see on paper: the NOA number matching the exact door model and size, the permit pulled under the 8th Edition Florida Building Code, and the final inspection verifying the documentation. A low bid that skips the NOA check or the rough-opening repair will cost more before the job is done. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free, written estimate. We quote the manufacturer line side by side and register both warranty layers in writing. No surprise line items on the bill.

FAQs - Door Installation in Hollywood
Yes. Every replacement door in Hollywood must carry a Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code Notice of Acceptance for HVHZ, matched to the specific model and size being installed. A ‘Florida Product Approval’ is not enough here. If your installer shows up with the wrong documentation, the Hollywood inspection fails and the door has to be removed and re-permitted at your expense. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll put the NOA number in writing before the job starts.
Salt air east of US-1 attacks aluminum frames and hardware year-round, pitting the metal and seizing hinges and rollers decades earlier than inland. By the time the door binds or fails, the rough opening underneath is usually corroded too. A proper Hollywood installation means repairing that subsurface before the new door goes in, not hiding it behind trim. We replace the blocking and flash the perimeter so the new unit has a clean, dry seat.
It includes the exact door model with its Miami-Dade NOA number, a permit pulled under the 8th Edition Florida Building Code, repair of any corroded rough opening, full perimeter flashing, marine-grade or stainless hardware where the exposure demands it, and a final inspection with the NOA documented on file. A cheap quote is often just a door swap with no permit. That will fail inspection here, and it can give an insurer grounds to deny a hurricane claim later. Call (813) 320-9346 for a written quote that lists all of it.
The paperwork that matters is the permit, the final inspection approval, and the NOA certificate showing the door meets HVHZ standards. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and provide the documentation your carrier needs for a wind-mitigation credit. In Hollywood Hills, we recently replaced a corroded 1970s aluminum slider in a CBS ranch where the frame had pulled a half-inch from the wall, installed an Andersen impact French door with stainless hardware, and the homeowner’s carrier accepted the NOA documentation the first time we submitted it. That’s the paper trail a compliant install should produce.
Yes, and we do it regularly on Hollywood Beach and along the older condo corridors. The original aluminum frame was often set into the concrete when the building was poured, so removing it requires cutting sections out without compromising the structural wall. We remove the old frame carefully, install new pressure-treated blocking, set the impact-rated door on a clean seat, and flash the entire perimeter. The work is slower and more careful than a standard swap, which is why we quote these jobs only after seeing the opening in person. Estimates are free; call (813) 320-9346 to schedule one.
