AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood
Window replacement in Hollywood, FL typically costs $850-$2,400 per opening for standard impact-rated units, and most full-frame jobs are completed in one to three days once permits clear. That’s the honest range we quote, and we’re the crew that shows up ready for tight lots, CBS block walls, and jalousie-era ranches that other contractors walk away from. Call (813) 320-9346 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail tree.
We’ve been working Hollywood neighborhoods long enough to know that no two openings measure the same on a 1967 block ranch off Sheridan Street. Salt air east of Dixie Highway, original aluminum frames pulling off concrete block, HOA letters about uninsurable jalousies - we see it every week. The estimate is free, the measurements are taken twice, and the warranty paperwork gets registered before our truck leaves your driveway.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane was founded by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who started this company in 2008 because out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. We’re not a franchise playbook. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and run our business like a company that plans to be in Hollywood thirty years from now.
Every Hollywood job is covered by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise with no paperwork fights. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before quoting manufacturer lines side by side on paper. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a call center. Not a callback form.
Homeowners in Hollywood Hills, West Hollywood, and along the beach corridor have called us for over a decade because we show up when we say and we stand behind the work. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the founding rule Dale keeps on the whiteboard, and it governs every install we do from Sheridan Street to A1A.
Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means pulling the entire old window, frame included, down to the rough opening and setting a new unit from scratch. On Hollywood’s CBS ranch homes from the 1950s-1970s, this is often the only correct route, because the original aluminum or jalousie frames have corroded or pulled away from the block wall. We repair the rough opening before setting the new unit, so the new window actually seals against the structure instead of hiding rot or oxidation behind trim.
Impact-Rated Replacement
Hollywood sits entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-borne debris designation in the country. Any replacement window installed here must carry independent HVHZ product approval, not just a generic “Florida Approved” sticker. We install impact-rated lines from PGT and CGI with laminated glass and heavy-duty frames that meet the full code requirement, and we pull the permit on every job so the wind-mitigation credit actually lands on your insurance renewal.
Insert Window Replacement
When the existing frame is still square and sound, an insert replacement fits a new sash and glass package into the old frame without tearing out stucco or interior trim. This works well on some Hollywood homes west of I-95 where frames have not been chewed up by salt air. But east of Dixie Highway, we often find the frame itself is too far gone and an insert would just trap corrosion behind a pretty new sash. We tell you straight which route makes sense for your house.
Historic Window Restoration
Some Hollywood homes in the older sections around downtown and the Lakes neighborhood carry architectural character worth preserving. If the original wood or steel window is salvageable and the owner wants to keep the look, we can restore rather than replace, with new weatherstripping, reglazing, and hardware. We’ll tell you honestly when restoration is a losing battle against salt air and energy loss, and when replacement with a custom line is the smarter long-term move. TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, PGT, and CGI, so the custom option is a real one.

Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you what’s in stock and what the lead time actually is.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Jalousie windows that fail insurance wind-mitigation inspection. The glass louvers on a 1960s Hollywood ranch leak air and water so badly that they block policy renewals outright. Most homeowners call us only after the insurance letter arrives, and the fix is almost always full impact-glass replacement, not repair.
- Salt-air corrosion east of Dixie Highway. Aluminum frames installed as recently as the 1990s show pitted frames, seized hardware, and separation from the CBS wall 10-15 years earlier than you’d see inland in Davie or Pembroke Pines. The rough opening often needs repair before a new unit fits, and marine-grade or PVC/fiberglass frames are functionally required near the coast, not an upsell.
- Fogged sliding glass doors in beach corridor condos. The mid-rise buildings along Hollywood Beach carry 1960s-70s sliding doors embedded directly in concrete. Seal failure shows up as fog between panes, and replacement requires structural consent and party-wall notice because the frame is part of the building envelope, not just a trim job.
- Original 1950s aluminum single-panes with no thermal break. These ranch windows sweat in August and bake the interior glass in direct sun. Homeowners along Hollywood Boulevard and in the 33020 area replace them as much for comfort as for code, and the energy-efficiency upgrade usually pays for itself in AC savings within a few hurricane seasons.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL
Full frame impact-rated replacement on a Hollywood ranch home runs $1,100-$2,400 per opening depending on size, glass package, and whether the rough opening needs repair first. Insert replacement on a sound frame runs $850-$1,600 per unit. A standard 72-inch sliding glass door in a beach corridor condo runs $2,500-$4,800 with HVHZ hardware and structural consent factored in. Historic restoration on a wood or steel original runs $700-$1,800 per sash, and we’ll tell you when the restoration money would be better spent on a full replacement.
Every estimate is free and written line-by-line, so you see the exact cost of glass, frame, flashing, and labor before you sign anything. No change orders on a TruePane job unless you ask for added scope in writing. We also offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, and a $50 credit on any repair over $250.

Working a Tight Hollywood Lot: What Access Does to the Quote
In Hollywood, original jalousie windows from the 1950s-1970s CBS ranch era are both uninsurable under most modern policies and completely non-compliant with HVHZ code. That makes full impact-glass replacement the dominant window job here, a driver far more intense than in inland Broward cities. But the work isn’t just about glass, it’s about getting a crew, a ladder, and a debris tarp onto a lot that may be eight feet from the neighbor’s wall.
On a tight Hollywood Hills lot off the boulevard, our crew staged a full-frame replacement of a corroded 1970s aluminum double-hung on a CBS ranch. The frame had pulled away from the block wall so badly we had to repair the rough opening before setting a new ViewLux impact-rated unit. We kept all debris on a tarp behind the van and finished both sashes with low-E argon glass the same day. That’s the kind of tight-site sequencing that shows up in a detailed quote: staging area, wall access, haul-away route, and whether the neighbor’s fence has to come into play.
On lots where the side yard is three feet wide and the window is on the second story, we bring a narrower ladder setup and stage materials in the street with a spotter. On shared walls and party-wall condos, we give notice before any work touches a common frame. On historic or overlay-district properties, we check the approval path before the first tool comes off the truck. All of that shows up on the quote as line items with real numbers, not vague “site access” fees. And we pull the permit on every Hollywood job, because working without one on an HVHZ replacement is how warranty claims die and insurance payouts get denied.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood
Jalousie windows were the standard spec on Hollywood’s 1950s-1970s CBS ranch homes because they circulate air cheaply, and they were grandfathered into old code for decades. They are now uninsurable under most modern homeowner policies and completely non-compliant with current HVHZ requirements, so replacement is the only route to a pass on wind-mitigation inspection. If your insurance company has sent a non-renewal letter mentioning jalousies, that’s the trigger to call us at (813) 320-9346, because the fix is a full impact-glass replacement, and the longer it waits, the harder the permit gets to pull.
Yes, window replacement in Hollywood requires a building permit, and on any lot or building with a shared wall, you’ll also need party-wall notice to the neighbor or adjacent unit owner before any frame work begins. We handle the permit application, the HVHZ product approval documentation, and the party-wall notice as part of the quote, because doing it wrong voids the manufacturer warranty and can stall the job mid-construction. The permit cost is included in your line-item estimate.
“Florida Approved” means the product meets statewide building code, but Hollywood sits entirely within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires independent HVHZ product approval with stricter wind-borne debris testing. Any impact window or door installed in Hollywood must carry that HVHZ approval. We only quote HVHZ-rated lines for Hollywood jobs, and the approval documentation goes into your permit package so the insurance wind-mitigation credit actually applies.
Tight lot access on Hollywood’s older ranch lots, often eight to ten feet from the neighbor’s wall, adds real line items: staging in the street with a spotter, a narrower ladder setup, hand-carrying glass to the back of the house, and a tarp-and-vacuum debris protocol to keep the neighbor’s driveway clean. We price those logistics honestly on the front end instead of burying them in a “site conditions” fee after the work starts. Your quote shows the exact staging plan and what it costs.
Atlantic salt air east of US-1, combined with year-round humidity, corrodes aluminum frames and seizes hardware 10-15 years faster than inland Broward, and the frames often pull away from the CBS wall entirely. Marine-grade PVC, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum are the right replacements near the coast. We’ll show you Simonton and Ply Gem lines rated for salt exposure, and we’ll tell you honestly which frame material matches your distance from the water, not just which one is cheapest.
