Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood

Window replacement in Hollywood, FL splits into two distinct jobs depending on where you live. In the 1950s-1970s CBS ranch neighborhoods west of US-1, we’re usually pulling out original aluminum jalousie windows that were never impact-rated and now fail Broward County wind-load code outright. Along the beach and Intracoastal corridor, we’re replacing sliding glass doors and windows in mid-rise condos scrambling to pass Florida’s 2022 milestone recertification. Both jobs share one thread: salt air has already begun eating the hardware, and the original install was never done to coastal spec. TruePane handles both, and a live person answers when you call (863) 208-6105.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

Our crews have worked the Lakes, Emerald Hills, and Hollywood Lakes neighborhoods long enough to know which houses still have their original jalousies and which condo boards are mid-recertification. That matters because the right window for a 1962 CBS ranch three blocks from the Intracoastal is not the right window for a 1985 condo unit off Stirling Road. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s non-negotiable on every Window Replacement job we take in Hollywood.

TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the rule that governs every install is the one he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise, and every technician is background-checked and uniformed. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and plan to be in Hollywood in thirty years, not just this season.

Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood

Full Frame Replacement

Most Hollywood ranch homes built before 1980 need full-frame replacement, not inserts. The reason is structural. Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum frames were set directly into concrete block openings, often with mild steel lintels above them. Four decades of salt air and humidity cause those lintels to corrode, expand, and crack the surrounding block. A full-frame replacement lets our crew remove the old frame, inspect the lintel, install stainless angle support where needed, and properly flash the new impact-rated window to the block. In Hollywood, this is the job we recommend for any original jalousie still in place. Expect a full-frame replacement in Hollywood to run $1,100-$2,600 per window depending on size, impact rating, and condition of the surrounding opening.

Insert Window Replacement

Insert replacement windows fit inside a structurally sound existing frame. They make sense for Hollywood homes where the original frame is intact, square, and free of block cracking, usually units from the 1980s and later that were installed as double-pane sliders. In coastal Hollywood, the catch is that many “sound” frames are hiding salt corrosion behind the trim. We measure every opening twice and won’t recommend an insert if the frame will fail before the new sash does. Inserts in Hollywood typically run $650-$1,400 per window.

Storm Window Replacement

For Hollywood homeowners who want better wind and rain resistance without a full renovation, we offer impact-rated storm window replacement. These add a second layer of protection over existing windows and are a practical option for east-side homes where full replacement needs to be phased. In the Lakes and Hollywood Hills, we’ve installed storm windows on guest rooms and garages where the main living areas were already upgraded. Storm window replacement in Hollywood runs $450-$950 per window, and yes, the salt air still matters here: we use stainless hardware and marine-grade sealant on every coastal install, not the inland-spec parts that pit within three years.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Hollywood’s humidity does not take days off, and neither does your air conditioner. We see original single-pane aluminum frames on a lot of older Hollywood homes that are effectively holes in the wall from an insulation standpoint. A Low-E impact-rated replacement window cuts solar heat gain during Hollywood’s nine-month summer while adding the storm protection code demands. For Hollywood homeowners, the most common efficient choice is a double-pane impact-rated window with argon fill. These run $900-$2,200 per window installed, and the difference in July is something you feel the first week.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, but for Hollywood’s coastal conditions we find ourselves specifying PGT, CGI, and ES Windows most often. PGT and CGI both engineer for Florida’s wind-borne debris region well beyond minimum code, and their corrosion-resistant frame finishes hold up within a few blocks of the Intracoastal where standard aluminum pits in three to five years. ES Windows is a strong option for larger fixed-glass and custom openings on mid-century Hollywood homes. Because we’re not tied to one manufacturer, we’ll quote lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re paying for and what the warranty covers. No change orders, no upsell you didn’t ask for.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Salt-air pitting on original aluminum frames. Within three to five years of Intracoastal exposure, standard aluminum develops pitting that seizes sashes and freezes cranks. Original jalousie windows in Hollywood are the worst offenders; many won’t open, close, or lock at all. We replace them with impact-rated frames and stainless hardware built for marine conditions.
• Fog between panes on original insulated glass. When the argon fill leaks out, humid Hollywood air rushes in between the panes, condenses, and clouds the glass. That seal failure cuts the window’s insulation value precisely when you need it most. On Hollywood homes, we see this most on east- and south-facing windows that take direct sun.
• Corroded steel lintels cracking the block above openings. This is specific to CBS construction from the 1950s and 60s. The mild steel lintel above a window opening wicks moisture from the block, rusts, expands, and cracks the surrounding concrete. By the time you see a stair-step crack above a window in Hollywood Lakes, the lintel is usually in bad shape. Full-frame replacement with stainless angle support and a grout rebuild is the fix.
• Non-impact windows failing HOA inspection deadlines. Hollywood Beach and Intracoastal condo associations under SB 4-D milestones are finding their original 1960s-1980s glazing isn’t impact-compliant. When a building can’t certify, the board orders floor-by-floor replacement, often 80-150 identical openings under one permit set. We handle those projects from engineering to final inspection.
