Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and we answer the phone live, 24/7, at (904) 747-8989.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Energy-Efficient Windows Company
Hollywood is not like Sunrise or Plantation when it comes to window code. The city sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and city inspectors read product approval stickers with a level of scrutiny you won’t see west of University Drive. We’ve been through enough Hollywood rough inspections to know exactly what passes and what gets flagged. That experience means your permit doesn’t stall and your windows don’t sit in a warehouse while we argue with a supplier over approval language.
Our Hollywood customers call us back because we show up when we say we will, in uniform, background-checked, and we quote a fixed number before any work starts. No change orders halfway through. And every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Ed Winslow makes it right. Period. That’s a century-long standard of accountability no national chain will put in writing.
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and more, so we can spec the right product for your home rather than push whatever’s in stock at a big-box store. And when you call (904) 747-8989, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop. Not a call center in another state.
Our Energy-Efficient Windows Services in Hollywood
Here’s what we install most often in Hollywood homes, from the beachside condos on the barrier island to the CBS ranch houses west of US-1.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Low-E coatings and argon gas fills are the quiet workhorses of any energy-efficient window in Hollywood. The Low-E layer reflects radiant heat while the argon between the panes slows conductive heat transfer. In a Hollywood summer, that combination keeps rooms measurably cooler and cuts AC runtime. We spec Low-E and argon into virtually every replacement window we install, and yes, it’s available in impact-rated configurations that meet Hollywood’s HVHZ code.

ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows
ENERGY STAR certification for the Southern Climate Zone means a window has been independently tested for solar heat gain and U-factor performance. In Hollywood, where direct sun exposure and humidity run high from May through October, choosing a certified unit matters for both comfort and your power bill. We’ll sit down with you and review the specific rating numbers on each option, including design pressure ratings for wind load, so you understand exactly what you’re buying.

Insulated Laminated Glass
Insulated laminated glass gives you two panes with an air or gas space between them, plus a tough interlayer bonded inside. That interlayer is what turns an energy-efficient window into an impact window, and in Hollywood, it’s not optional if you want to pass inspection and earn windstorm credits. On a 1960s concrete block ranch west of US-1 near Taft Street, our crew replaced original louvered jalousie windows with PGT WinGuard insulated impact units. The old aluminum frames were corroded from decades of salt air, and the laminated glass interlayer plus reinforced jamb made the difference between a failed and passed Hollywood rough inspection. That’s the kind of specificity we bring to every job.

UV-Blocking & Fade Protection
Hollywood’s sun is brutal on furniture, hardwood floors, artwork, and even upholstery. UV-blocking coatings and laminated glass layers cut ultraviolet transmission dramatically, protecting your interior finishes from fading. If you live within a mile of the ocean, you already know the salt air accelerates frame corrosion; UV protection is the other side of the same coin, preserving what’s inside your home. We’ll walk through the specific UV transmission percentages for each glass package we quote, so you can compare, not guess.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We install windows from PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, among others. These are brands engineered for South Florida, and we stock common replacement parts for them locally, which means faster turnaround when you need a sash, a balance, or hardware. Our Energy-Efficient Windows team works with these manufacturers every day, and we know which product lines carry the specific HVHZ approval language Hollywood inspectors require. We don’t guess, and we don’t substitute.
Common Energy-Efficient Windows Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
These are real failure patterns we encounter regularly in Hollywood, and they inform how we spec replacements.
- Salt air corrosion on aluminum frames: Coastal Hollywood homes within a mile of the Atlantic see frame oxidation and seal failure within 10 to 12 years on standard anodized aluminum. We typically recommend marine-grade or heavy-duty painted finishes for anything near the beach or the Intracoastal.
- Original jalousie or single-pane sliders: Many 1950s and 1960s CBS ranch homes west of US-1 still have louvered jalousie windows or old aluminum sliders. These leak conditioned air constantly and offer zero hurricane protection. They’re also nowhere close to HVHZ code, which becomes a real problem when you try to sell or refinance.
- Non-HVHZ product installed by out-of-area crews: We’ve seen suppliers send a Florida Product Approval sticker that covers Miami-Dade but lacks explicit HVHZ language. A Hollywood inspector will flag it at rough inspection, forcing a reorder and days of delay. We check that before the unit ever arrives on your street.
- Rear openings left unprotected: Some homeowners replace only the street-facing windows with impact-rated glazing, leaving bedrooms and back doors with old single-pane frames. Hollywood wind mitigation discounts require every opening to have HVHZ-compliant units, so a partial job won’t earn the premium reduction you’re expecting.
Pricing for Energy-Efficient Windows in Hollywood, FL
For a standard opening, expect to pay roughly $900 to $1,500 per window installed for impact-rated, Low-E, argon-filled units. Single-hung impact windows run about $900 to $1,800 each. Large or custom openings, like a wide picture window or a sliding glass door, land between $2,500 and $5,000. A whole-home package for a typical three-bedroom Hollywood house starts around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 depending on window count, frame choice, and whether you’re doing doors too. What moves the price in Hollywood specifically: the number of openings, wind zone requirements, whether the job is on the ground floor or an upper-story condo balcony, and the frame material you choose for salt-air resistance. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote. Fixed pricing. No change orders.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Hollywood
Let’s get concrete, because “it depends” doesn’t help you budget. Standard impact windows generally cost $800 to $1,500 per unit installed. If you’re replacing single-hung windows, plan for $900 to $1,800 apiece. Large or custom openings like picture windows, radius windows, or wide sliders run $2,500 to $5,000 each. Whole-home packages for a Hollywood rancher typically land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, depending on how many openings you have and whether you’re doing doors at the same time. In Hollywood, frame material is a real cost driver because ocean salt air punishes cheap aluminum. Marine-grade or heavy-duty painted finishes cost more up front but won’t corrode in a decade. We’ll give you a written quote that breaks all of this down before you sign anything. The estimate is free, and it comes from a real person at (904) 747-8989.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida incentive programs can offset a meaningful portion of your project cost, but you should understand how they stack before you commit. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows. The state also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is an immediate 6% savings on a five-figure project. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit allows 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after installation, a windstorm-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150) can document your upgrades and help you earn windstorm-premium credits that average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. We can’t guarantee what your carrier will approve, and program funds shift year to year, but we’ll tell you what to claim and never oversell what you’ll get back.

FAQs - Energy-Efficient Windows in Hollywood
A Florida Product Approval can be enough, but only if it explicitly designates HVHZ compliance. A Miami-Dade NOA with HVHZ language is the cleanest path with Hollywood inspectors. Some products carry an FBC approval that covers Miami-Dade but lacks the specific HVHZ designation; those will get flagged at rough inspection in Hollywood even if they passed in Miramar or Pembroke Pines. We verify the sticker before ordering. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll check the specific approval numbers for your configuration.
Yes, it can meaningfully lower your windstorm premium, but only if every opening in the home carries HVHZ-compliant product and the installation is documented properly. Insurers typically require a wind-mitigation inspection after the work is done, and the credits they apply depend on your carrier, your policy, and the specific ratings on the windows. We’ll install to the standard your insurer wants to see, and we’ll tell you what documentation to request. Call (904) 747-8989 for an exact quote on a compliant window package.
A compliant quote includes the specific product approval number for each window type, the design pressure rating matched to the opening, explicit HVHZ designation, and the permit and inspection steps for Hollywood’s building department. A cheap quote often leaves out the permit, uses standard anodized aluminum that won’t hold up to salt air, or quotes a product whose approval doesn’t actually cover your home’s wind zone. We’ll walk you through every line item. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free written estimate.
Impact windows themselves don’t require periodic recertification once installed and passed. What you may want refreshed is your wind-mitigation inspection, which documents the upgrades for your insurance carrier. Some homeowners request an updated inspection every few years or after a major storm to make sure their insurer has current documentation. We can point you to inspectors who know Hollywood’s requirements. Call (904) 747-8989 if you’re not sure what your carrier needs.
Yes. Low-E coatings and argon gas fills are available in impact-rated laminated glass configurations that carry HVHZ product approvals. The energy performance and the impact rating are not mutually exclusive, and in Hollywood we rarely recommend one without the other. We’ll show you the specific glass package options from PGT, CGI, and CWS that give you both. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll pull the specs for your opening sizes.
