Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Hollywood
Custom windows and doors in Hollywood, FL come down to two things: the product has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and the install has to work on a lot that gives you three feet of side yard. We do both. TruePane Windows & Doors has been working Hollywood’s tight lots, aging CBS homes, and Intracoastal condos long enough to know that a custom window job here is never just a swap-out. It’s a code problem, a staging problem, and often an insurance deadline problem rolled into one. If you’re holding a non-renewal letter from your carrier or you’re tired of corralled salt air eating through aluminum, call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through what the job actually requires.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
We’re not the newest name on a billboard. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 because he watched too many out-of-true installs void warranties and too many homeowners get argued with when they asked for the paperwork. Hollywood has kept us honest. The HVHZ code here means no shortcuts, and the housing stock, block after block of 1950s CBS construction, means every opening has a surprise in it. We’ve learned to expect the salt-eaten jamb, the wall that’s out of square by half an inch, the window that was never flashed properly in 1962.
Homeowners here call us because a neighbor told them to. We get calls from Hollywood Hills, from the grid between I-95 and Federal Highway, from older sections around Young Circle. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians show up when we say they will. Every job gets covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. No arguing, no fine print that covers neither. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We work Hollywood the way a local should. We know which condo board on A1A requires contractor COIs with specific additional insured language. We know the city’s work-hour noise limits and we run the saw inside the garage when we have to. That’s the difference between a company that serves Hollywood and one that just lists it on a website.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Hollywood
Our Custom Windows & Doors team handles four areas that Hollywood homes and buildings push hardest. Here’s how each one plays out locally.
Custom Shape Windows
Hollywood’s older homes have arches, radius tops, octagon openings, and the occasional porthole window that no stock product will fit. We measure every opening twice, build each unit to the actual rough opening, and handle the HVHZ impact requirement on a per-shape basis. A radius-top window on a 1960s CBS wall near Young Circle isn’t a catalog item. It’s a fabricated unit with an NOA, and that’s what we deliver.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
From small storefronts along Federal Highway to ground-floor retail in mid-rise buildings near the Intracoastal, Hollywood’s commercial glazing has to meet the same HVHZ impact codes as residential work. We replace fogged or cracked storefront panes with impact-rated glass, rebuild worn entry doors, and keep the work clean enough that your business stays open while we’re on site. Staging for commercial jobs in Hollywood means working around parking rules and pedestrian traffic, and we plan for that before the first panel comes off the truck.

Curtain Wall Systems
Older mid-rise condos along A1A and the Intracoastal corridor run curtain wall systems that are now decades old and fighting salt air they were never upgraded to resist. We restore or replace curtain wall sections with thermally broken aluminum and impact-rated glazing that meets Miami-Dade NOA standards. This is multi-trade work: glazing, membrane tie-ins, and often coordination with the building’s engineer. We handle it as a single scope so the condo board isn’t managing four contractors.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites and architectural grilles matter more in Hollywood than most markets because so much of the housing stock predates the clean-line window era. Homeowners restoring a 1950s CBS ranch in Hollywood Hills want the SDL pattern to match the original lite configuration, even as the new unit carries impact glass and an NOA. We spec grilles in the exact bar width and profile to match what was there, and we put it on paper before we order.

Oversized Glass Panels
A 20-foot impact-rated sliding door panel doesn’t fit in a Hollywood side yard that’s three feet wide. We know that before you do. For oversized panels and grand entry systems, we coordinate off-site delivery staging, walk the unit through narrow gate openings with a proper glass cart, and plan every lift against wind conditions on the day of install. Oversized glass on a tight lot is a coordination job as much as a glazing job, and we price it as such so there are no surprises on the bill.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Hollywood we spec brands that hold up to salt air and HVHZ wind-load design pressure. CGI and PGT carry deep inventories of impact-rated products with Miami-Dade NOAs and are common choices for coastal condos. ES Windows offers thermally broken aluminum frames that Hollywood’s Intracoastal corridor demands. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and because we install these systems every week, we know their lead times, their hardware, and their failure points. That means faster diagnosis and fewer second trips.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Original jalousie windows failing wind-mitigation re-inspections. Hollywood’s 1950s and 1960s CBS homes still carry a remarkable number of original jalousie louvered windows. Insurers across South Florida are flagging these on wind mitigation reports and threatening non-renewal, which pushes homeowners into emergency replacement timelines instead of planned projects.
- Salt-corrosion on aluminum frames within a mile of the Intracoastal. We routinely find frames that are structurally compromised even when the glass looks fine. Sashes corrode into the jambs to the point where removal requires drywall cuts and structural shimming, which blocks hallways and eats into work-hour windows.
- Non-impact sliders on zero-lot-line lots. The same-era aluminum sliding doors that dominate Hollywood’s east-west grid are both non-impact and badly corroded. Replacing them often means custom-sized impact doors, and on a lot with three feet of side clearance, the old panel can’t be staged next to the new one.
- Oversized condo sliders on the A1A corridor. Aging mid-rise condos along the Intracoastal carry oversized sliding glass doors that have been fighting salt air for 40 years. Condo board rules on work hours, contractor insurance, and freight elevator access add layers that a residential job never faces.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL
Custom window and door work in Hollywood runs on a different cost curve than inland Florida markets, and it’s driven by the HVHZ code and the age of the housing stock. Here’s what we’re seeing across Hollywood right now:
- Custom shape windows (radius, arch, octagon): $1,800 to $4,200 per unit for impact-rated fabrication and install, depending on size and opening condition.
- Jalousie-to-impact window replacement (full jamb rebuild): $1,600 to $3,100 per opening when jambs need full rebuilds, which they usually do in salt-exposed CBS homes.
- Impact-rated sliding glass door replacement: $4,800 to $9,500 for a thermally broken, NOA-carrying unit sized to an original 1960s rough opening.
- Curtain wall restoration or section replacement: $190 to $340 per square foot, with engineering review billed separately when the building requires it.
- Architectural grilles and SDLs: $300 to $750 per window, depending on bar profile and lite pattern complexity.
What moves the quote in Hollywood is the opening itself. Salt-damaged jambs, out-of-square CBS walls, zero-lot-line staging, and condo work-hour restrictions all add labor that a stock window replacement never sees. That’s why we give line-item written quotes after measuring, not over the phone. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll tell you what the opening actually needs before you commit to a number.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Yes, and it’s not an optional step in Hollywood. Every window and door replacement in the city falls under Broward County’s HVHZ rules, which means the product has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA and the permit application has to match the unit you’re actually installing. We pull the permit ourselves on every job, submit the NOA documentation, and schedule the inspections. A like-for-like size swap still triggers the paperwork, and insurance carriers check that paperwork against your wind mitigation report. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll confirm what your specific job requires from the city.
In most Hollywood CBS homes, yes. The rough opening stays the same, but the jamb condition almost never does. Salt air and 50 years of humidity mean the existing jambs are frequently too far gone to hold a new fusion-welded frame, so we rebuild them before we set the window. The glass gets bigger, the opening stays, and the wall gets squared. We’ll walk you through what we find during the estimate, and you’ll see it in the line-item quote.
Every impact-rated unit we install in Hollywood carries a Miami-Dade NOA, which is the exact document your carrier asks for on a wind mitigation report. We also register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the paperwork before we leave. If your insurer has flagged non-impact jalousies or aluminum sliders on a non-renewal deadline, that’s a job we’ve handled many times, and we can move on the timeline your letter requires. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote, and bring the letter to the estimate.
We plan the job around the access before we quote it. On a zero-lot-line Hollywood lot, that means staging the cut station in the driveway or the street with the proper right-of-way setup, not in a side yard that can’t fit a saw. Debris goes into a truck the same day, and we walk oversized units through gate openings with a glass cart instead of trying to maneuver a lift where one won’t fit. Access is a line item, not an afterthought, and we tell you what it adds before you sign.
We do. TruePane carries the insurance coverage Hollywood’s A1A and Intracoastal condo boards require, in the exact additional insured format they ask for, and we work within the building’s posted work hours and freight elevator rules. Oversized glass on a mid-rise means coordinating freight access days in advance, which we handle directly with the property manager. You won’t be the one translating the COI requirements to us. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a free estimate, and bring your building’s contractor rules to the walkthrough.
