Window Replacement in Hollywood - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood

Window replacement in Hollywood, FL runs about $800 to $5,000 per opening depending on impact rating, frame material, and how close your home sits to the Atlantic. Most full-frame installations in Hollywood finish in one to two days once your units arrive, and the right product will pass the city’s stricter High-Velocity Hurricane Zone inspections the first time. That inspection detail matters more here than almost anywhere else in Florida, because Hollywood sits inside Broward County’s HVHZ, where building officials check product approval stickers on the window unit itself. Call Ed Winslow and our team at (904) 747-8989 for a free in-home measure and an honest, written quote.

We’ve worked along Federal Highway, out west past 441, through the Lakes and Emerald Hills neighborhoods, and into the beach corridor condos facing the ocean. Hollywood’s housing stock and its salt air don’t let you guess on materials. They force you to choose correctly the first time, and we’ve spent over a decade in South Florida learning exactly what that means for each block.

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

Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we run in Hollywood. That’s not a slogan. It means when a Hollywood inspector flags a product approval sticker, Ed is the one who answers the call, not a ticket number in some national call center. We’re local, owner-operated, and we’ve built our reputation on knowing what Hollywood’s permitting office actually enforces, not what a generic Florida impact-window brochure says.

Hollywood customers tell us the same thing in review after review: a live person answered the phone at 7 a.m., the tech showed up in uniform with a background check already on file, and the quote we gave on Tuesday matched the invoice on install day. No change orders. No phone tag. We answer calls 24/7 because we know a failed window near the coast isn’t a problem you put off until Monday.

We’re the company other Hollywood homeowners call after a national chain installs impact windows that fail rough inspection because the NOA sticker lacks explicit HVHZ language. That’s an expensive lesson we help people avoid entirely by checking product approvals before we ever place an order. Our office coordinates scheduling and dispatch out of Miami, and crews serve Hollywood locally every week, so we can get to neighborhoods from Driftwood to Hollywood Lakes quickly once your windows arrive.

Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement means pulling the entire old window, including the frame and trim, down to the rough opening. In Hollywood’s 1950s and 1960s concrete block and stucco ranch homes, this is often the only correct option, because the original aluminum frames are oxidized and the rough openings need proper flashing and sealing before a new impact unit goes in. West of US-1, where we see the oldest CBS construction, full frame replacement also gives us the chance to close gaps that leak conditioned air and let humid salt air eat the interior wall cavity. We match the new frame to the opening and to the design pressure (DP) the opening actually requires, never above +/-100.

Insert Window Replacement

Insert replacement windows fit a new unit inside the existing frame when that frame is still structurally sound. This works well for some vacation rentals and newer Hollywood homes where the frame isn’t corroded, and it’s typically faster and slightly less expensive than full frame. But we’re honest with Hollywood customers: within a mile of the ocean, we often recommend against inserts because a corroded existing frame will keep failing even if the new sash and glass are perfect. We’ll show you what your frame actually looks like before we let you spend money on the wrong approach.

Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl replacement windows make sense for many inland Hollywood neighborhoods like Park East or parts of West Park, where salt air is less aggressive and budgets matter. Today’s vinyl units from brands like CWS and ECO Window Systems carry energy-efficient Low-E glass and multi-chamber frames that hold up well in Hollywood’s heat and humidity. We spec reinforced sashes and stainless hardware on any vinyl window going into a Hollywood home, because even a few miles inland, the humidity shortens the life of cheap steel rollers and locks.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

An energy-efficient upgrade in Hollywood usually means switching from single-pane or failed double-pane glass to impact-rated Low-E insulated glass. That single change cuts solar heat gain dramatically and drops cooling costs in a city where air conditioning runs nine months a year. On a 1960s ranch with original louvered jalousie windows, we see cooling loads drop enough that the upgrade pays for itself while you’re still living in the house. We’ll run the numbers on your specific openings and tell you what the honest payback looks like, not a marketing number.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We install and service windows from CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass, along with PGT and CGI impact lines that carry the Miami-Dade NOA and HVHZ approval Hollywood inspectors want to see. Because we install these brands across South Florida from our Miami office, we can pull replacement parts and hardware for Hollywood customers faster than a company that has to special-order from a distributor each time. When a CWS operator or an ES Windows locking mechanism fails in a Hollywood Beach condo, we know exactly what to order and we stock common failure parts locally. That speeds up repair and keeps your HOA off your back.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Salt-driven frame seal failure within a decade. Homes within one mile of the Atlantic see oxidized aluminum frames and hardened, cracked seals on non-marine-grade window units in 10 to 12 years. The fix is marine-grade aluminum or properly anodized frames plus low-E glass and stainless hardware, not another coat of paint.
• HVHZ product approval sticker rejected at rough inspection. Hollywood building officials specifically look at the NOA or Florida Product Approval sticker on the unit itself. If that number covers Miami-Dade but doesn’t explicitly state HVHZ compliance, the inspector will flag it and your permit stalls. Crews that work Broward’s western cities sometimes assume the same product flies in Hollywood; it doesn’t.
• Original jalousie windows with zero hurricane protection. Thousands of Hollywood’s 1950s and 1960s concrete block homes still have louvered jalousie windows or single-pane aluminum sliders. These provide virtually no windborne debris protection and fail current HVHZ code. Replacing them requires full frame work and the right impact product, not a sash swap.
• Corroded hardware on ocean-facing sliding glass doors. In aging beach condos along Hollywood Beach, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors take the full brunt of Atlantic salt air. Locks, rollers, and handles seize or snap, and the frame channels oxidize. We replace these with marine-grade stainless hardware and impact-rated laminated glass that also carries condo-association approval documentation.

Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL

What Window Replacement Costs in Hollywood

Let’s anchor the numbers so you can plan. Impact windows in Hollywood typically run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with single-hung impact units falling between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a floor-to-ceiling ocean-facing slider in a Hollywood Beach condo, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages range from $8,000 on a small inland ranch to $25,000 or more for a larger coastal home with multiple sliders and custom window shapes.

Opening count is the biggest driver. A 1960s CBS ranch west of US-1 with 10 openings and all jalousie windows is a full frame replacement job with rough opening work, flashing, and stucco repair. That costs more per window than an insert job on a 1990s home. Floor height matters too: an upper-floor condo unit facing the ocean needs a higher design pressure (DP) rating on the same size window, and those units cost more because the frame and glass are thicker. Frame material moves the price as well: marine-grade anodized aluminum holds up in Hollywood’s salt air but costs more than painted inland-grade, and vinyl is the budget option where we can spec it without compromising the coastal durability.

We never quote a window over the phone without seeing the opening. That’s why the free in-home measure exists. Ed or a senior tech comes out, checks the rough opening, the existing frame condition, the product approval requirements for your exact address, and the wind zone on your permit. Then you get a written quote with all of it in black and white. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule yours.

Florida Pays You Back

Florida has real incentives for Hollywood homeowners installing impact windows. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows are exactly the kind of improvement the program rewards. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you 6% or more on a whole-home project. The federal 25C energy credit adds 30% of product cost back, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units.

Then there’s the windstorm premium credit. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150 in most cases), many Hollywood homeowners see their windstorm insurance premium drop by roughly 25% because impact-rated windows with HVHZ product approvals lower the insurer’s exposure on the wind portion of the policy. Programs and carriers set their own final numbers, so we won’t guarantee a dollar figure, but every Hollywood customer we’ve helped through the process has qualified for at least one of these. Ask us about the paperwork during your free estimate.

One comparison worth making: impact windows vs hurricane shutters. Shutters protect the glass only when someone is home to put them up, and they do nothing for heat, humidity, noise, or daily security. Impact windows are permanent protection that’s working every hour of every day, no panels to store, no HOA disputes about exterior appearance. We install impact windows, not shutters, and we’ll show you the long-term math.
