AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Hollywood
A new exterior door in Hollywood, FL typically runs $900 to $4,200 installed, depending on whether it’s a basic steel entry slab or a fully impact-rated, NOA-certified system with a custom frame. Most entry and French door replacements here are completed in one day once the door is on the truck. If you’re reading this from the Hollywood Hills or a condo along the Intracoastal, you already know the real cost is not just the door. It’s whether the hardware survives the salt air and whether the unit passes Broward County’s HVHZ code. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll give you a written, line-item quote before any work starts.
Key takeaways for Hollywood homeowners:
- Every replacement door in Hollywood must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) number. No exceptions. This is not optional.
- Salt air less than a mile from A1A corrodes standard aluminum hinges and threshold screws within five years. We specify marine-grade hardware on coastal jobs.
- A standard inland-spec door might save $400 today and cost $2,000 in frame repairs within a decade here.
- We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the company has served South Florida since 2008 through a heritage of craft and community commitment. Dale’s founding rule is still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That applies to every door setback, every jamb anchor, every threshold screw we set in Hollywood.
Our crews work in Hollywood regularly, from the grid between I-95 and Federal Highway to the condo towers along the Intracoastal. We know which openings in 1950s CBS homes are going to hide electrolysis pitting behind the old door jamb. We know which mid-rise sliders near the water are going to fail a wind-load test. That local knowledge changes the quote, not just the installation.
Every technician who walks onto a Hollywood property is background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. And when the job is done, you’ll have both warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated. No fine print that covers neither.

Our Door Installation Services in Hollywood
We install more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, PGT, and CGI. For Hollywood’s coastal conditions, we lean on thermally broken aluminum impact systems and marine-grade hardware. A quick note on our broader work: our Door Installation team handles everything from single-slab replacements to fully custom pivot entries. Here in Hollywood, the most common jobs break down like this.
Entry & Swing Doors
A front entry door in Hollywood is doing two jobs at once. It’s holding back hurricane-driven rain and it’s the first thing a wind-mitigation inspector sees. We install impact-rated steel, fiberglass, and aluminum swing doors that carry the NOA certification Hollywood requires. Entry doors on beachside homes get stainless steel hinges and threshold screws from the start, because we know what uncoated hardware looks like after three summers of salt spray off the Atlantic.
Double & French Doors
Original French doors on 1950s Hollywood Hills homes are a repeat failure point. The wood frames absorb humidity, swell, and crack the glass panes. The steel threshold screws rust through and lose all structural grip. We replace these with fusion-welded aluminum or engineered wood impact systems, sistering the existing CBS opening with stainless anchors before the new frame ever goes in. The result is a door that opens in August and holds in a Category 4.
Storm Doors
A storm door in Hollywood is not a decorative afterthought. It’s a sacrificial layer that takes the brunt of salt spray, wind-driven rain, and UV exposure so your main entry door doesn’t have to. We stock storm door lines from ES Windows and CWS, both of which hold up to coastal conditions far better than the big-box vinyl units we replace year after year. If you’re within a mile of the beach, we specify aluminum frames with stainless hardware as the baseline.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Folding door systems are becoming common on Hollywood’s Intracoastal-facing homes where owners want the entire wall open. These are complex installs. The track system has to be dead level, the header has to carry the full HVHZ wind load, and every roller and hinge has to be corrosion-resistant. We install bifold and folding doors from manufacturer lines that meet Miami-Dade NOA standards, and we register both warranty layers before we leave. This is not a job for a handyman with a level and a prayer.
We also handle pivot doors, arched and custom doors, and full-frame replacements for aging CBS openings. Ask for a side-by-side quote on paper. You’ll see the differences in writing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Hollywood’s coastal environment, we frequently specify CGI, ES Windows, and CWS products because their thermally broken aluminum frames and stainless hardware hold up to salt air far longer than entry-level vinyl. We stock common replacement hardware for these lines locally, so a sagging hinge or a failed roller on a Hollywood door doesn’t mean waiting two weeks for a part from the factory. If your existing door is a brand we’re authorized to service, we can usually get parts faster than a general contractor who’s ordering from a catalog.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Electrolysis pitting on aluminum frames and hinges. Homes within a mile of Hollywood Beach or the Intracoastal get constant salt spray. Uncoated aluminum hardware starts pitting within three to five years, which is why doors start sagging and binding long before the glass fails. We replace this with marine-grade stainless or powder-coated hardware as standard on coastal jobs.
- Failed wind-load connections on older CBS openings. Original door jambs in 1950s and 1960s concrete block homes were set with plain steel anchors. Decades of humidity has eaten through them. When the wind-load test comes, the jamb-to-header connection fails. We sister these openings with stainless steel anchors and full flashing tape perimeters before the new frame is set.
- Swollen, cracked French door frames on Hollywood Hills homes. The original wood-framed French doors in this neighborhood were never meant for South Florida humidity. Frames swell, glass panes crack, threshold screws rust through. We see it on nearly every original home we quote in the hills.
- Insurance non-renewal letters from Citizens or private carriers. More and more Hollywood homeowners call us not because they want a new door, but because their insurer flagged non-impact doors on a wind mitigation report and gave them 30 days to fix it. We prioritize these jobs. A 30-day deadline leaves no room for a contractor who measures once and orders wrong.
Pricing for Door Installation in Hollywood, FL
Here’s what we actually see in Hollywood’s market, based on jobs we’ve quoted in the past year. A basic non-impact steel entry door swap runs $900 to $1,600. An NOA-certified impact-rated fiberglass or aluminum entry door runs $2,200 to $4,200 installed, depending on size, hardware, and frame condition. French door replacements start around $2,800 for a standard two-panel impact unit and run up to $6,500 for custom sizes on older Hollywood Hills homes that need frame sistering and stainless anchoring. Storm doors run $700 to $1,800 depending on brand and glass package.
What moves the price in Hollywood more than anywhere else is the coastal hardware specification. Marine-grade stainless hinges, threshold screws, and flashing add roughly $150 to $400 to a job compared to inland-standard hardware. It’s the cheapest money you’ll spend on the door. Skip it, and you’ll be replacing corroded hardware in five years and the entire frame in ten. We give free estimates with written, line-item pricing, and our price doesn’t change once the work starts. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Door Installation in Hollywood
Hollywood sits entirely inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every replacement door must carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance certification. Fort Lauderdale, a few miles north, falls under the same HVHZ map, so a compliant door there also requires NOA certification. The difference people sometimes hear about is with contractors north in Palm Beach County, where the building code does not mandate NOA-certified products. In Hollywood, there is no workaround and no grandfathering for replacement doors. If a contractor quotes you a non-NOA door here, walk away. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll show you the NOA paperwork on any door we quote.
Within roughly a mile of A1A or the Intracoastal, uncoated aluminum door hardware starts showing visible pitting in three to five years, and full-frame corrosion is common within a decade. We’ve pulled original doors from 1960s condo buildings near the Intracoastal where the frame was structurally compromised behind the hinge leaf even though the glass looked fine. The fix is not a coating. It’s marine-grade stainless hardware and thermally broken aluminum frames specified from day one. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on your opening.
No. Impact film does not satisfy Hollywood’s HVHZ code and it will not pass a wind mitigation inspection. Jalousie louvered doors from the 1950s and 1960s are structurally incompatible with current impact standards, and most insurers will refuse to renew a policy over them regardless of film. The compliant fix is a full replacement with an NOA-certified impact door. We do these replacements in Hollywood’s older central and eastern neighborhoods regularly, and we can usually complete the swap in one day. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll quote the right door for your opening.
An inland-spec sliding door uses standard aluminum or vinyl with galvanized hardware. A coastal-spec door uses thermally broken aluminum with stainless steel rollers, tracks, and screws, plus a heavier frame rated for higher wind loads. The price difference is typically $300 to $800 on a standard slider. In Hollywood’s beachside neighborhoods, the inland-spec door will start binding and corroding within five to seven years, and the frame will likely fail a wind-load test within fifteen. You pay for the inland spec twice. We quote coastal-spec as the default on any Hollywood job within a mile of salt water. Call (754) 238-2201 for a side-by-side written quote.
In most cases, we can measure, order, and install an NOA-certified impact door within two to three weeks, which fits inside a 30-day deadline. Where the manufacturer has the size in stock, it can be faster. We prioritize insurance-driven replacement jobs in Hollywood because we know the deadline is non-negotiable and the policy renewal is riding on it. The first step is a measurement and a written quote, which we can usually schedule within a few days of your call. Call (754) 238-2201 and tell us you’re under an insurance notice. We’ll move you to the front of the line.
